Initial commitment, including new capacity and an exercised existing option. The arrow shows capacity direction, not payments or delivered capacity.

01 / Read the claims

One commitment includes two components.

The May 7 and August 11 quarterly filings describe the March order form under an existing master services agreement. Green marks a source-match check of that wording.

The qualification was already in the filings.

These are publications from the same issuer, not independent corroboration. The signing month remains March 2026; an exact signing day is not established.

Why company-wide figures cannot fill this gap

The second-quarter revenue note reports company-wide remaining performance obligations and anonymized customer concentrations. It does not identify a Meta-specific remaining balance. We do not assign an anonymous customer row to Meta or use aggregate backlog as Meta’s payments or delivery.

03 / Follow the change

A correction to the interpretation.

— Earlier review · 2026-10-04

A new commitment. An open total.

Three announcements supported a later commitment described as new. The review left the interaction with earlier options unresolved.

2026-10-04 / Updated treatment

Existing option included.
Remaining balance unresolved.

The first review used three issuer announcements and left options unresolved. The quarterly filings already described an exercised existing option within the later commitment. This review corrects the interpretation; it does not announce a new agreement or establish a remaining balance.

The April and May announcements describe the same analytically grouped later commitment. The newer review refines its composition; repeated coverage is not counted again.
