Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue. The aggregate balances of current and non-current deferred revenue were $5.8 billion as of January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018, which included $91 million and $82 million of deferred revenue related to FS, respectively. Of the deferred revenue balance as of October 31, 2018, approximately $1.7 billion was recognized as revenue during the three months ended January 31, 2019.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contract work that has not yet been performed and does not include contracts where the customer is not committed. Remaining performance obligations estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including contract terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, adjustments for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency.
Remaining performance obligations consist of deferred revenue. As of January 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of remaining performance obligations was $5.8 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 46% of this amount as revenue over the remaining fiscal year.
Costs to Obtain a Contract
As of January 31, 2019, the current and non-current portions of the capitalized costs to obtain a contract were $41 million and $63 million, which were included in Other current assets and Long-term financing receivables and other assets, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the three months ended January 31, 2019, the Company amortized $10 million of the capitalized costs to obtain a contract.
