In 2017, the Company entered into a series of agreements with SOURCENEXT Corporation, (“SOURCENEXT”), comprising a single performance obligation associated with the perpetual license of certain intellectual property, software, and product code for exclusive development and sale of language and education-related products in Japan. The Company estimated a 20 year period to recognize the performance obligation. As of March 31, 2020, deferred revenue associated with SOURCENEXT totaled $15.5 million, which will be recognized ratably through April 2037 and comprised the majority of the Consumer Language non-current deferred revenue. As this customer relationship progresses, the Company will prospectively reassess the recognition period as needed.
