Contract Implementation Costs

Contract implementation costs represent incremental set up costs to fulfill contracts with customers, including, for example, salaries and wages incurred to onboard customers onto the Company’s platform to enable the customers to request and access completed background screening reports. Contract implementation costs and the related amortization are recorded in other non-current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and in cost of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. Amortization of contract implementation costs included in cost of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) was $1.1 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $1.0 million and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. See Note 3 — Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, and Other Non-Current Assets for contract implementation costs included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
