Remaining Performance Obligation RPO
The total contracted revenue a company has signed but not yet recognized, including both billed and unbilled amounts.
What it is
Remaining Performance Obligation is the dollar value of goods and services a company is contractually committed to deliver but has not yet recognized as revenue. It includes deferred revenue (amounts already billed) plus the unbilled portion of signed contracts (backlog). Unlike most SaaS metrics, RPO is a GAAP/IFRS disclosure required under the revenue-recognition standards, so it appears in the financial-statement notes.
Why it matters
RPO is one of the most reliable forward indicators of future revenue because it reflects binding contracts, not estimates. Growth in RPO, especially the portion due within 12 months (current RPO), signals demand that has not yet shown up in reported revenue. Because it is standardized, RPO is more comparable across companies than self-defined metrics like ARR.
How it's calculated
Sum the transaction price allocated to all unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations across signed contracts; companies usually split it into current (within 12 months) and non-current portions.
How Quintarthai uses it
RPO is disclosed in a SaaS issuer's filing notes; you can research that filing alongside the revenue trend in the Financials tab of its company deep-analysis page.
