Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract with a Customer
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs that we incur to obtain a contract that we would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained, primarily sales commissions. These costs are recorded as an asset and amortized to expense over the life of the contract to the extent such costs are expected to be recovered. As of September 30, 2025, we have $23.5 million of unamortized capitalized costs to obtain a contract, of which $11.2 million is recorded within other current assets and $12.3 million is recorded within other assets on our condensed consolidated statements of financial position. As of December 31, 2024, we had $23.4 million of unamortized capitalized costs to obtain a contract, of which $19.3 million was recorded within other current assets and $4.1 million was recorded within other assets on our condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Amortization of capitalized costs is recorded within sales, general and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded approximately $9.4 million and $24.4 million, respectively, of amortization of capitalized costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $6.7 million and $14.7 million of amortization of capitalized costs.
