3. Revenue Recognition

Remaining performance obligations

As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price in our contracts allocated to the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (“RPO”) was approximately $471 million and excludes consideration from contracts that have an original duration of one year or less. Approximately $463 million of the RPO primarily represents connectivity and entertainment service revenues which are recognized as services are provided, which is expected to occur through the remaining term of the contracts. Our contracts vary in length and generally have terms of two to ten years. We expect to recognize approximately 39% of our connectivity and entertainment service RPO within the next year, approximately 47% in one to five years and the remaining 14% in five to ten years. The remaining $8 million of the RPO represents future equipment revenue that is expected to be recognized primarily within the next three years as equipment is shipped.
