Revenue recognized in 2018 and included in deferred revenue at January 1, 2018 was $196.4. Revenue recognized in 2018 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in prior years was less than 5% of the Company’s gross revenue from continuing operations. Remaining performance obligations (backlog) The aggregate amount of estimated revenue (note 5) related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as at December 31, 2018, was $4,179. This amount includes all contracts with customers but excludes variable consideration that is not highly probable. The Company expects to recognize approximately 77% of this revenue as contracts are completed over the next 18 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter.
