Contract balances

Contract assets primarily consist of unbilled receivables related to marine vessel construction and railcar maintenance services, for which the respective contracts do not yet permit billing at the reporting date. Contract liabilities primarily consist of customer prepayments for manufacturing, maintenance, and other management-type services, for which the Company has not yet satisfied the related performance obligations.

The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract balances are as follows:

Based on current production and delivery schedules and existing contracts, approximately $1.4 billion of the Railcar sales amount is expected to be recognized in the next 12 months while the remaining amount is expected to be recognized through 2025. The table above excludes estimated revenue to be recognized at the Company’s Brazilian manufacturing operations, as they are accounted for under the equity method.

 

Revenue amounts reflected in Railcars intended for syndication may be syndicated to third parties or held in the Company’s fleet depending on a variety of factors.

 

Marine revenue is expected to be recognized through 2023 as vessel construction is completed.

 

Services includes management and maintenance services of which approximately 53% are expected to be performed through 2026 and the remaining amount through 2037.
