Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract with a Customer
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs that we incur to obtain a contract that we would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained, primarily sales commissions. These costs are recorded as an asset and
amortized to expense over the life of the contract to the extent such costs are expected to be recovered. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 we have $67.6 million and $39.1 million of unamortized capitalized costs to obtain a contract, respectively, of which $50.1 million and $28.9 million, respectively, is recorded within other current assets and $17.5 million and $10.2 million, respectively, is recorded within other assets on our condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Amortization of capitalized costs is recorded within sales, general and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded approximately $12.4 million and $32.4 million in amortization of capitalized costs, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded approximately $9.4 million and $24.4 million in amortization of capitalized costs, respectively.
