Unsatisfied performance obligations — contracts over one year
$44.10B
As of June 30, 2026, we have entered into contracts with dealers and end users for which sales have not been recognized as we have not satisfied our performance obligations and transferred control of the products. The dollar amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original duration greater than one year is $44.1 billion, with about one-third of the amount expected to be completed and revenue recognized in the twelve months following June 30, 2026. We have elected the practical expedient not to disclose unsatisfied performance obligations with an original contract duration of one year or less. Contracts with an original duration of one year or less are primarily sales to dealers for machinery, engines and replacement parts.
