Bookings vs. revenue
Bookings represent the total value of contracts signed, while revenue is what has actually been earned and recognized over time.
Bookings measure the total value of deals closed in a period, regardless of when the revenue will be delivered. Revenue is only recognized as the service is delivered, in line with ASC 606 and IFRS 15 standards.
Example: A company signs a $120,000 annual contract in January. The booking is $120,000, but revenue is recognized at $10,000 per month throughout the year.
