Remaining Performance Obligation
Private Equity
In our construction services business, backlog is defined as revenue yet to be delivered (i.e. remaining performance obligations) on construction projects that have been secured via an executed contract or work order. As at December 31, 2023, our backlog of construction projects was approximately $6.2 billion (2022 – $5.7 billion).
Our dealer software and technology services operation had remaining performance obligations related to its long-term software and maintenance and support contracts of approximately $2.3 billion (2022 – $2.5 billion).
In our Brazilian water and wastewater operation business, our long-term, inflation-adjusted concession service contracts with various municipalities have an average remaining contract duration of 23 years as at December 31, 2023 (2022 – 23 years), and the remaining performance obligations were approximately $10.6 billion (2022 – $10.4 billion).
Others
In our Asset Management, Infrastructure, Renewable Power and Transition, and Real Estate businesses, revenue is generally recognized as invoiced for contracts recognized over a period of time as the amounts invoiced are commensurate with the value provided to the customers.
c)    Lease Income
Our leases in which the company is a lessor are primarily operating in nature. Total lease income from our assets leased out on operating leases totaled $8.8 billion (2022 – $8.2 billion) including $155 million (2022 – $182 million) of income related to variable lease income that is not dependent on an index or rate.
