"and an order backlog of $28.1 billion as of such date"
Order backlog is the total value or number of customer orders a company has received but not yet fulfilled or delivered. It acts like a queue at a busy restaurant: a healthy backlog signals steady future sales and revenue visibility, while a growing backlog can also warn of production bottlenecks, delayed cash collection, or rising costs — all important when assessing a company’s near-term performance and operational risks.
forward‑looking statements regulatory
"This press release may contain forward‑looking statements"
Forward-looking statements are predictions, plans, projections or expectations about a company’s future results, strategy, or events that appear in press releases and regulatory filings. They matter to investors because they are not guarantees and often rely on assumptions that may prove wrong; think of them like a weather forecast useful for planning but uncertain, so investors should weigh those statements against hard facts, past performance and disclosed risks.

Form 20-F is the standardized annual disclosure that non-U.S. companies must file with the U.S. securities regulator when their shares are traded in the U.S.; it contains audited financial statements, a plain-language description of the business, management discussion, governance details and key risk factors. It matters to investors because it provides a consistent, comparable company “report card” and rulebook, helping buyers assess financial health, governance and risks before investing.
