Contract Balances

Unbilled Receivables and Contract Assets

As of May 31, 2026, billing of our non-current unbilled receivables is expected to occur as follows:
(in thousands)
2027$18,542 
202816,101 
20299,496 
Total$44,139 

Contract assets arise when revenue is recognized in excess of billings and the right to the amount due from customers is conditioned on something other than the passage of time, such as the completion of a related performance obligation. We did not have any net contract assets as of May 31, 2026 or November 30, 2025.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue is recorded when revenue is recognized subsequent to customer invoicing. Deferred revenue expected to be recognized as revenue more than one year subsequent to the balance sheet date is included in long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our deferred revenue balance is primarily made up of deferred maintenance and deferred revenue related to our SaaS offerings.

As of May 31, 2026, the changes in deferred revenue were as follows:

(in thousands)
Balance, December 1, 2025$425,079 
Billings and other499,410 
Revenue recognized that was deferred in prior periods(265,282)
Revenue recognized from current period arrangements(235,982)
Balance, May 31, 2026$423,225 

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. As of May 31, 2026, transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $518.9 million. We expect to recognize approximately 74% of the revenue within the next year and the remainder thereafter.

Deferred Contract Costs

Certain of our sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Depending upon the sales incentive program and the related revenue arrangement, such capitalized costs are amortized over the longer of (i) the product life, which is generally three to five years; or (ii) the term of the related revenue contract. We determined that a three to five year product life represents the period of benefit that we receive from these incremental costs based on both qualitative and quantitative factors, which include customer contracts, industry norms, and product upgrades. Total deferred contract costs were $5.3 million and $6.5 million as of May 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, respectively, and are included in other current assets and other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred contract costs is included in sales and marketing expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and was insignificant in all periods presented.
