log” means contracted but unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of November 2, 2024, which includes non-cancellable Flexible Spending Account (FSA) commitments from customers where actual product selection and quantities of specific products or services are to be determined by customers at a later date, and excludes future sales-based royalty payments from the remaining performance obligations. Approximately 41% of the backlog as of November 2, 2024, excluding non-cancellable FSA, is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months. The majority of the remaining backlog is expected to be recognized in the next three years.
