Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing or reimbursable costs related to a specific contract. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. The Company receives payments from customers based on the terms established in the Company’s contracts. The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

Changes in contract assets and contract liabilities primarily result from the timing difference between the Company’s performance of services and payments from customers. The Company recognized revenue that was included in the beginning of period contract liability balance of approximately $400.0 million, $355.7 million and $210.01 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively.
Remaining performance obligations
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $465.6 million of remaining performance obligations, which primarily relate to the Company’s engine utilization contracts that are satisfied over multiple years. Of this amount, the Company expects approximately 47% to be satisfied over the next two years and the remainder thereafter. The expected timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations is dependent on the timing of the customer’s maintenance requirements and as such, the timing of the revenue recognition is subject to estimation uncertainty. The Company excludes from its remaining performance obligation balance the value of remaining performance obligations for its fixed price and time & material contracts, as the performance obligations for these contracts generally have an original expected duration of one year or less.
Rental Engine Revenue
Revenue from rental engines was $85.9 million, $83.6 million and $81.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively.

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.
