Bookings Bookings represent total revenue Avid expects to earn over the term of the agreement for goods and /or services provided Bookings reflect firm orders as documented with persuasive evidence of an agreement and a reasonable assurance that amounts payable under the arrangement are collectable Bookings are subject to cancellations, changes and adjustments and are based on certain assumptions. Bookings may not reflect final revenue earned for a particular arrangement. Bookings do not reflect adjustments related to rebates or other sales incentive programs The material weaknesses in our internal control environment may impact the accuracy of recorded bookings

Revenue Backlog We define revenue backlog as firm orders received including (i) orders where the customer has paid in advance of our performance obligations being fulfilled, and (ii) orders for future product deliveries or services that have not yet been invoiced by us. We generally ship our products shortly after the receipt of an order. Orders that may exist at the end of a quarter and have not been shipped are not recognized as revenue and are included in revenue backlog. Certain orders included in revenue backlog may be reduced, canceled or deferred by our customers. The expected timing of the recognition or amortization of revenue backlog into revenue is based on current estimates and could change based on a number of factors, including (i) the timing of delivery of products and services, (ii) customer cancellations or change orders, (iii) changes in the estimated period of time Implied Maintenance Release PCS is provided to customers or (iv) changes in accounting standards or policies. Implied Maintenance Release PCS, as we define it, is the implicit obligation to make software updates available to customers over a period of time which represents implied post-contract customer support and is deemed to be a deliverable in each arrangement and accounted for as a separate element. As there is no industry standard definition of revenue backlog, our reported revenue backlog may not be comparable with other companies. Additional information on our revenue backlog can be found in the section called “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” in our Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC.
