Revolving Credit Facility. We have an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility (Revolving Credit Facility) that provides for unsecured revolving facility loans, swing line loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $5.0 billion, of which $530 million and $4.47 billion expire on February 18, 2020 and November 8, 2021, respectively. At December 29, 2019, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Revenues. We disaggregate our revenues by segment (Note 6) and type of products and services (as presented on our condensed consolidated statement of operations), as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Substantially all of QCT’s (Qualcomm CDMA Technologies) revenues consist of equipment revenues that are recognized at a point in time, and substantially all of QTL’s (Qualcomm Technology Licensing) revenues represent licensing revenues that are recognized over time.
Revenues recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods were $92 million and $72 million for the three months ended December 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018, respectively, and primarily related to QTL royalty revenues recognized related to devices sold in prior periods and certain customer incentives.
Unearned revenues (which are considered contract liabilities) consist primarily of license fees for intellectual property with continuing performance obligations. In the three months ended December 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018, we recognized revenues of $178 million and $133 million, respectively, that were recorded as unearned revenues at September 29, 2019 and October 1, 2018, respectively.
Remaining performance obligations, substantially all of which are included in unearned revenues, represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price of certain customer contracts yet to be recognized as revenues as of the end of the reporting period and exclude revenues related to (a) contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less and (b) sales-based royalties (i.e., future royalty revenues) pursuant to our license agreements. Our remaining performance obligations are primarily comprised of certain customer contracts for which QTL received license fees upfront. At December 29, 2019, we had $1.6 billion of remaining performance obligations, of which $372 million, $462 million, $449 million, $198 million and $50 million was expected to be recognized as revenues for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and each of the subsequent four years from fiscal 2021 through 2024, respectively, and $26 million thereafter.
Other Income, Costs and Expenses. Other expenses in the three months ended December 30, 2018 consisted of $180 million, in restructuring and restructuring-related charges related to our Cost Plan that concluded in fiscal 2019, partially offset by a $31 million benefit related to a favorable legal settlement.
