Disaggregation of Revenue

In general, the Company’s business segmentation is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of our services and provides meaningful disaggregation of each business segment’s results of operations. The nature of the Company’s performance obligations within our Treatment and Services Segments results in the recognition of our revenue primarily over time. The following tables present further disaggregation of our revenues by different categories for our Services and Treatment Segments:

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition and billings can result in unbilled receivables (contract assets) or deferred revenue (contract liabilities). The following table represents changes in our contract asset and contract liabilities balances: The reduction in deferred revenue was primarily due to the substantial completion of a waste treatment project for a certain customer in which a prepayment was made to the Company by the customer in 2023.

Schedule of Contract Balances

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $1,754,000 and $4,919,000, respectively, related to untreated waste that was in the Company’s control as of the beginning of each respective year. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $1,098,000 and $4,593,000, respectively, related to untreated waste that was in the Company’s control as of the beginning of each respective year. Revenue recognized in each period related to performance obligations satisfied within the respective period.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable, net of credit losses, totaled $6,423,000 as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of $3,299,000 from the December 31, 2023, balance of $9,722,000. The decrease was primarily due to reduced billing from decreased revenues. Our accounts receivable was also reduced by the collection in May 2024 of outstanding accounts receivable for work performed for a certain Canadian project for which a settlement agreement had previously been reached, with collection subject to meeting certain conditions/terms precedent (see “Note 11 - Perma-Fix Canada Inc. (“PF Canada”)”) for a discussion on the collection of the receivables).

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company applies the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Within our Services Segment, there are service contracts which provide that the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18, which allows the Company to recognize revenue in the amount for which we have the right to invoice; accordingly, the Company does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for those contracts.

The Company’s contracts and subcontracts relating to activities at governmental sites generally allow for termination for convenience at any time at the government’s option without payment of a substantial penalty. The Company does not disclose remaining performance obligations on these contracts.
