A paid membership (also referred to as a paid subscription) is defined as a membership that has the right to receive Netflix service following sign-up and a
method of payment being provided, and that is not part of a free trial or certain other promotions that may be offered by the Company to new or rejoining
members. A membership is canceled and ceases to be reflected in the above metrics as of the effective cancellation date. Voluntary cancellations generally
become effective at the end of the prepaid membership period. Involuntary cancellations, as a result of a failed method of payment, become effective
immediately. Memberships are assigned to territories based on the geographic location used at time of sign-up as determined by the Company's internal
systems, which utilize industry standard geo-location technology.
Total U.S. revenues, inclusive of DVD revenues not reported in the tables above, were $12.1 billion, $10.8 billion and $9.5 billion for the years ended

and 2019, respectively.
Deferred revenue consists of membership fees billed that have not been recognized, as well as gift and other prepaid memberships that have not been
fully redeemed. As of December 31, 2021, total deferred revenue was $1,209 million, the vast majority of which was related to membership fees billed that are
expected to be recognized as revenue within the next month. The remaining deferred revenue balance, which is related to gift cards and other prepaid
memberships, will be recognized as revenue over the period of service after redemption, which is expected to occur over the next 12 months. The $91 million
increase in deferred revenue as compared to the balance of $1,118 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, is a result of the increase in membership fees
billed due to increased memberships and average monthly revenue per paying member.
