Revenue
Revenue is recognized based on the transfer of control or our customers’ ability to benefit from our services and
products in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services and products. Most of
our service and product contracts are short-term in nature. In recognizing revenue for our services and products, we determine
the transaction price of purchase orders or contracts with our customers, which may consist of fixed and variable consideration.
We also assess our customers’ ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including our historical
payment experience with, and the financial condition of, our customers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type,
although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 20 to 60 days. Other judgments involved in recognizing
revenue include an assessment of progress towards completion of performance obligations for certain long-term contracts,
which involve estimating total costs to determine our progress towards contract completion and calculating the corresponding
amount of revenue to recognizeDisaggregation of revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into types of services or products, consistent with our two
reportable segments, in addition to geographical area. Based on the location of services provided and products sold, 39%, 40%
and 44% of our consolidated revenue was from the United States for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for those periods.
The following table presents information on our disaggregated revenue.

Contract balances
We perform our obligations under contracts with our customers by transferring services and products in exchange for
consideration. The timing of our performance often differs from the timing of our customers’ payment, which results in the
recognition of receivables and deferred revenue. Deferred revenue represents advance consideration received from customers
for contracts where revenue is recognized on future performance of service. Deferred revenue, as well as revenue recognized
during the period relating to amounts included as deferred revenue at the beginning of the period, was not material to our
consolidated financial statements.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent firm contracts for which work has not been performed and future
revenue recognition is expected. We have elected the practical expedient permitting the exclusion of disclosing remaining
performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. We have some long-term
contracts related to software and integrated project management services such as lump sum turnkey contracts. For software
contracts, revenue is generally recognized over the duration of the contract period when the software is considered to be a right
to access our intellectual property. For lump sum turnkey projects, we recognize revenue over time using an input method,
which requires us to exercise judgment. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations for these long-term contracts
is not material.

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
