We disclose backlog (“Backlog”), a measure commonly used in our industry but not recognized under GAAP. Our methodology for determining Backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by other companies. Our Backlog, which previously consisted solely of RPOs, has expanded to include estimate…
Generally, our customers are not contractually committed to specific volumes of services under our MSAs, and most of our contracts can be terminated on short notice even if we are not in default. As a result, estimates for Backlog are subject to change based on, among other things, project accelerat…

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
