Deferred Revenue
We record deferred revenue when payments are due or received in advance of the fulfillment of our associated performance obligations. Deferred revenue, including current and non-current balances as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 were $979,117 and $965,331, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, the additions to our deferred revenue balance were due primarily to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, while the reductions to our deferred revenue balance were due primarily to the recognition of revenue upon fulfillment of our performance obligations, both of which were in the ordinary course of business.
During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, $121,324 and $109,713, respectively, of revenue was recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the respective period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, $862,870 and $722,658, respectively, of revenue was recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the respective period. As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of contract revenue allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations is $1,185,724, which includes our deferred revenue balances and amounts to be invoiced and recognized in future periods. We expect to recognize approximately $1,024,805 of this balance as
revenue over the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter. This balance does not include an estimate for variable consideration arising from sales-based royalty license revenue in excess of the contractual minimum guarantee.
As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, our contract asset balances were $104,889 and $105,554, respectively, which are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
