Hmm, this sounds like a long-term contract. I'd say it should be reported as a liability on the balance sheet, right?

But what if the purchase obligation is cancelable? Should it still be classified as a liability?

I agree with Keneth. It makes sense to show it as a long-term liability since it's a commitment that will last for several years.
