Overview the core principle Recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Five-step model to apply the core principle: Identify the contract with a customer (Step 1) Identify the performance obligations in the contract (Step 2) Determine the transaction price (Step 3) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations (Step 4) Recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied (Step 5) Control approach (differs from the risks and rewards approach under IAS 18) 2
Applying the 5 step model Example Identify the contract (Step 1) Identify the performance obligations (Step 2) Determine the transaction price (Step 3) Allocate the transaction price (Step 4) Recognize revenue (Step 5) Deliver equipment CU 100 Point in time Provide training services CU 5 Over time Contract with customer CU 110 Provide support services CU 4 Over time Provide extended warranty CU 1 Over time 3
Step 1: Identifying the contract Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 A legally enforceable contract (incl. oral or implied) must meet all of the following requirements: Contracts are approved and the parties are committed to perform. Each party s rights can be identified. Payment terms can be identified. A contract is outside the scope if: Commercial substance. It is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled. Collectability threshold The contract is wholly unperformed AND Each party can unilaterally terminate the contract without compensation 4
Step 2: Identifying performance obligations Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Identify all (incl. implicit) promised goods/services in the contract Is the good/service distinct? CAPABLE OF BEING DISTINCT DISTINCT IN CONTEXT OF CONTRACT New Can the customer benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other readily available resources? AND Is the good or service separately identifiable from other promises in the contract? YES NO Account for as a separate performance obligation Combine two or more promised goods or services 5
Step 3: Determining the transaction price Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 What is the transaction price? What does it include? Variable consideration Estimated and potentially constrained e.g., discounts, rebates, refunds, etc. Definition Consideration amount to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. Exception for sales/ usage based royalties of IP Fixed consideration The amount is fixed and not contingent on the outcome of future events. Consideration payable to customers Reduces transaction price unless payment is made for a distinct good/service. Transaction price Excluding credit risk The transaction price would not be reduced for the effects of customer credit risk. Significant benefit of financing If identified, leads to adjustment in transaction price. Practical expedient available. Non-cash consideration Consideration in a form other than cash Shall be measured at FV Exception 6
Step 4: Allocating the transaction price Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Determine standalone selling price Estimate the price if unobservable Acceptable methods: > Adjusted market assessment approach > Expected cost plus a margin approach > Residual approach Maximize the use of observable inputs and apply consistently Only allowed in limited circumstances Allocate the transaction price Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Allocate discounts proportionally to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met. Allocate variable consideration and changes in transaction price to all performance obligations unless two criteria are both met. Do not reallocate changes in standalone selling price after inception. 7
Step 5: Recognizing revenue Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Performance satisfied over time = Revenue recognized over time The seller s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer. OR The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the seller s performance as the seller performs. OR The seller does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the seller and the seller has the right to be paid for performance to date. IF NOT Revenue recognized at a point in time 8
Step 5: Recognizing revenue Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Revenue recognized at a point in time Indicators that control transfers include: Present right to payment Legal title of goods and services Transferred physical possession Significant risks and rewards of ownership The customer has accepted the asset 9
