The change in the contract liabilities balance reported above for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was due primarily to our satisfaction of performance obligations during the period on a contract on which we previously received advance payments from a customer.

Revenue allocated to the remaining performance obligations under existing contracts as of September 30, 2019 that will be recognized as revenue in future periods was $27.5 million, approximately $23 million of which we expect to recognize during the remainder of 2019.

We have no deferred incremental costs incurred to obtain or fulfill our construction contracts or other service revenues and had no impairment losses on construction contracts receivable or unbilled construction revenue in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
