This indicates the timing of initial deliveries for a substantial portion of backlog, without specifying how much revenue will be recognized this year.

Management expects existing contracts to cover secured and parent-level debt
Management expects cash flow from existing customer commitments to service and repay both outstanding debt and additional debt needed to deliver those contracts. It explicitly included asset-level secured debt and parent-level unsecured debt, before counting renewals.
This extends management's stated debt coverage expectation to parent-level unsecured obligations without relying on renewals.
