_______________
(1) The Company’s net revenue by market categories were revised during the fourth quarter of 2020 to align with changing end-market conditions, the Company’s current business priorities, as well as spending requirements and growth opportunities in the four categories. The broadband category includes the Company’s prior connected home category plus the SoC business from the Wi-Fi and Broadband assets business, but excludes wired connectivity. The infrastructure category remains unchanged. Industrial and multi-market includes the previously reported revenue plus component revenues from the Wi-Fi and Broadband assets business. The Company’s connectivity category includes primarily its MoCA/G.hn products and Wi-Fi and Ethernet revenues from the Wi-Fi and Broadband assets business. The 2020 amounts have been retroactively adjusted above to reflect the change in market categories.
Revenues from sales through the Company’s distributors accounted for 47% and 46% of net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenues from sales through the Company’s distributors accounted for 46% and 54% of net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Contract Liabilities
As of September 30, 2021, customer contract liabilities consisted primarily of advanced payments received for which performance obligations have not been completed of approximately $1.0 million. As of December 31, 2020, customer contract liabilities consisted of estimates of obligations to deliver rebates to customers in the form of units of products and were approximately $0.03 million. Revenue recognized in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of each of those respective periods was immaterial.
There were no material changes in the contract liabilities balance during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Obligations to Customers for Price Adjustments and Returns and Assets for Right-of-Returns
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, obligations to customers consisting of estimates of price protection rights offered to the Company’s end customers totaled $49.4 million and $47.8 million, respectively, and are included in accrued price protection liability in the consolidated balance sheets.

The increase in revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 from net changes in transaction prices for amounts included in obligations to customers for price adjustments as of the beginning of those respective periods was not material.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, right of return assets under customer contracts representing the estimates of product inventory the Company expects to receive from customers in stock rotation returns were approximately $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
