Remaining Performance Obligations

At the end of the second quarter of 2023, approximately $1.6 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for which goods or services have not been delivered, primarily subscription, software, and software maintenance, and to a lesser extent, hardware and professional services contracts. We expect to recognize $1.2 billion or 71% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
