Costs to Obtain a Contract
The Company capitalizes commission expenses paid to our employee-partners when the commissions are deemed to be incremental for obtaining the route servicing customer contract. Capitalized commissions are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. The current portion is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the noncurrent portion is included in other assets, net on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of May 31, 2024, the current and noncurrent assets related to capitalized commissions totaled $94.6 million and $262.5 million, respectively. As of May 31, 2023, the current and noncurrent assets related to capitalized commissions totaled $92.5 million and $251.6 million, respectively. We recorded amortization expense related to capitalized commissions of $101.4 million, $94.8 million and $87.4 million during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These expenses are classified in selling and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income.
