The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to VCP performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period:

	Revenue Expected to Be Recognized by Period
	Total		Next 12 Months		13 - 36 Months		37 - 60 Months

Receivables from Contracts with Customers, Contract Assets, and Contract Liabilities

The following table provides the balances of our receivables from contracts with customers and our current and long-term contract assets and contract liabilities:

	September 30, 2025		December 31, 2024
Receivables from contracts with customers, net	$	621.9	$	774.0
Contract Asset (Current)	$	23.2	$	20.4
Contract Asset (Long-Term)	$	2.4	$	2.8
Contract Liability (Current)	$	44.9	$	43.9
Contract Liability (Long-Term)	$	74.9	$	72.9

The change in the balances of our contract assets and contract liabilities primarily result from the timing differences between our performance and the customer’s payment, as well as changes in the estimated transaction price related to variable consideration for performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. The following table presents revenue recognized during the period from amounts included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period and adjustments to revenue related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
Amounts included in contract liability at the beginning of the period	$	9.5	$	9.0	$	30.0	$	28.3
Performance obligations satisfied in previous periods	$	2.5	$	0.2	$	1.1	$	(0.2)

Other significant changes include contract assets reclassified to receivables of $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
