__________

(1)At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $1.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of these contract asset amounts are classified as current and are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining amounts are classified as noncurrent and are included in Other assets. The decrease in contract assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily relates to: (i) reclassifications of certain amounts to receivables as a result of rights to consideration becoming unconditional and (ii) changes in estimates with respect to amounts of consideration expected to be received from sales of certain intellectual property rights.

The remaining amounts are classified as noncurrent and are included in Other liabilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately $0.4 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2021.
