Change in Accounting Estimate [Abstract]

NOTE L: CHANGES IN ESTIMATES

Many of our contracts utilize the POC cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition. A single estimated profit margin is used to recognize profit for each performance obligation over its period of performance. At the outset of each contract, we gauge its complexity and associated risks and establish an estimated total cost at completion. Due to the long-term nature of many of these contracts, developing these estimates often requires judgment. After establishing the estimated total cost at completion, we follow a standard estimate at completion (“EAC”) process in which we review the progress and performance on our ongoing contracts. As the contracts progress, we may successfully retire risks or complexities and may add additional risks, and we adjust our estimated total cost at completion. For additional discussion of our revenue recognition policies and our EAC process, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K.
