The revenue by geography pertains to both of the Company’s reportable segments. Refer to Note 19 - "Segment and Geographic Information" for the Company’s segment disclosures.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price in contracts allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered, as of the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustments for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency. As of March 31, 2020, approximately $24.0 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 42% of these remaining performance obligations in Fiscal 2021, with the remainder of the balance recognized thereafter.
