The Company recognized revenue of $6,284 and $14,474 on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $6,079 and $16,584 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, that was initially included in deferred revenue within Other Current Liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
