Contract Balances
The table below presents the contract assets and contract liabilities included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the following periods:
March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Contract assets
 $ 39,554  $ 36,961 
 
Contract liabilities $ 37,172  $ 52,645 

The increase in contract assets was primarily driven by revenue growth and the timing of billable milestones occurring during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The decrease in contract liabilities during 2024 was primarily driven by revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 on performance obligations related to large billable milestones occurring closer to the end of 2023. Revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2024 that was included in the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2023 was $35.9 million. Revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023 that was included in the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2022 was $18.7 million.

The Company evaluates the contract value and cost estimates at completion (“EAC”) for performance obligations at least quarterly and more frequently when circumstances significantly change. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the Company’s performance obligations, the estimate of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment by management on a contract-by-contract basis. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, labor productivity, the nature and technical complexity of the work to be performed, availability and cost volatility of materials, subcontractor and vendor performance, volume assumptions, inflationary trends, and schedule and performance delays.

When the Company’s estimate of total costs to be incurred to satisfy a performance obligation exceeds the expected revenue, the Company recognizes the loss immediately. When the Company determines that a change in estimate has an impact on the associated profit of a performance obligation, the Company records the cumulative positive or negative adjustment to the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Changes in estimates and assumptions related to the status of certain long-term contracts may have a material effect on the Company’s operating results.

The below table summarizes the favorable (unfavorable) impact of the net EAC adjustments for the following periods:
Three Months Ended
  March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023
Net EAC adjustments, before income taxes $ (3,931) $ (1,610)
Net EAC adjustments, net of income taxes (3,986) (1,604)
Net EAC adjustments, net of income taxes, per diluted share (0.06) (0.02)

The net EAC adjustments in 2024 were primarily due to additional unplanned design and test cycles required to meet customer requirements in the Company’s structures and mechanisms and power generation space infrastructure offerings. The change in net EAC adjustments in 2023 was primarily due to increased production costs contributed by continued supply chain and labor market pressures.

Remaining Performance Obligations
As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $299.8 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately 67% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue within the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.
