During fiscal 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized revenues of $28 million and $35 million relating to amounts that were included in the opening balance of contract liabilities as of January 31, 2025 and February 2, 2024, respectively.

Costs to obtain of $2 million were amortized during fiscal 2026 and 2025.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations ("RPO") represent the transaction price of exercised contracts (both funded and unfunded) less inception to date revenue recognized. RPO does not include unexercised option periods and future task orders expected to be awarded under IDIQ contracts. As of January 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $6.2 billion of RPO. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 78% of the RPO over the next 12 months and approximately 89% over the next 24 months, with the remaining recognized thereafter.

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.
