Deferred revenue balances presented above include amounts from contracts with customers primarily related to admission fee revenue on group financing products available in Argentina and were $120 million, $120 million, and $124 million at December 31, 2016, January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017, respectively. The January 1, 2017 balance reflects adoption of the new revenue recognition standard. See Note 2 for additional information.

Admission fee revenue on group financing products is generally recognized evenly over the term of the agreement, which is up to 84 months. Increases in the admission fee deferred revenue balance are the result of payments due during the current period in advance of satisfying our performance under the contract and decreases are a result of revenue recognized during the current period that was previously deferred. The total amount of admission fee revenue recognized for the full year 2017 that was included in the beginning balance of deferred revenue at January 1, 2017 was $27 million.
