REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The majority of revenue is from short-term contracts with revenue recognized when a single performance obligation to transfer product under the terms of a contract with a customer is satisfied.

 

Certain of the Company's custom chemical contracts within the chemical segment contain a material right as defined by ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), from the provision of a customer option to purchase future goods or services at a discounted price as a result of upfront payments provided by customers. Each contract also has a performance obligation to transfer products with 30-day payment terms. The Company recognizes revenue when the customer takes control of the inventory, either upon shipment or when the material is made available for pick up. If the customer is deemed to take control of the inventory prior to pick up, the Company recognizes the revenue as a bill-and-hold transaction in accordance with ASC 606. The Company applies the renewal option approach in allocating the transaction price to these material rights and transfer of product. As a basis for allocating the transaction price to the material right and transfer of product, the Company estimates the expected life of the contract, the expected contractual volumes to be sold over that life, and the most likely expected sales price. Each estimate is updated quarterly on a prospective basis.

 

The Company leases warehouse space to a third-party tenant under a short-term lease agreement with a term of twelve months. Lease revenue recognized under this agreement was $170 for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

 

Contract Assets and Liabilities:

 

Contract assets consist of unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue recognized through bill-and-hold arrangements. The contract assets at  March 31, 2026 and  December 31, 2025 consist of unbilled revenue from one customer and unbilled capital reimbursement from two customers and are recorded as accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities consist of advance payment arrangements related to material rights recorded as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. Increases to contract liabilities from cash received or due for a performance obligation of chemical segment plant expansions were $0 for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Contract liabilities are reduced as the Company transfers product to the customer under the renewal option approach. Revenue recognized in the chemical segment from the contract liability reductions was $345 and $30 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These contract asset and liability balances are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

 

The following table provides the balance of receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations:

 

At March 31, 2026, approximately $28,791 of revenue is expected to be recognized from the remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize this revenue ratably over the expected sales over the expected term of its long-term contracts ranging from two to ten years. Approximately 21% of this revenue is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months, and 49% is expected to be recognized in years two and three, and 30% in years four through ten. These amounts are subject to change based upon changes in the estimated contract life and estimated quantities to be sold over the contract life.

 

The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and excludes the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

 

The following tables provide revenue from customers disaggregated by the type of arrangement and by the timing of the recognized revenue.
