During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $19,000,000 related to its contract liabilities.

The following table includes estimated net sales related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of March 31, 2021 that are expected to be recognized in the future (in thousands):

	Services
Remainder of 2021	$	100,218
2022		39,638
2023		17,094
2024 and thereafter		9,434
Total remaining performance obligations	$	166,384

With the exception of remaining performance obligations associated with our OneCall Support Services contracts which are included in the table above regardless of original duration, remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less are not included in the table above.  Amounts not included in the table above have an average original expected duration of eight months.  Additionally, for our time and material services contracts, whereby we have the right to consideration from a client in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the client of our performance completed to date, we recognized revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice as of March 31, 2021 and do not disclose information about related remaining performance obligations in the table above.  Our time and material contracts have an average expected duration of 23 months.

The majority of our backlog historically has been and continues to be open cancelable purchase orders.  We do not believe that backlog as of any particular date is predictive of future results, therefore we do not include performance obligations under open cancelable purchase orders, which do not qualify for revenue recognition, in the table above.
