Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Telos and its subsidiaries, including Ubiquity.com, Inc., Xacta Corporation, Telos ID, Teloworks, and Telos APAC, all of whose issued and outstanding share capital is wholly-owned directly and indirectly by Telos Corporation. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Segment Reporting Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, we reorganized our internal management reporting structure and the financial results evaluated by our CODM; therefore, we changed our operating segments to align with how our CODM currently oversees the business, allocates resources and evaluates operating performance. As a result of the segment reorganization, we reported two reportable and operating segments: Security Solutions and Secure Networks. The segments enable the alignment of our strategies and objectives and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within the lines of business. We eliminate any inter-segment revenues and expenses upon consolidation.
Prior period segment information has been recast to reflect the change. The segment reorganization had no impact on previously reported unaudited consolidated financial results.
Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company regularly assesses these estimates; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience, currently available information and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant items involving management estimates include estimates of revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, allowance for inventory obsolescence, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes, share-based compensation, contingencies and litigation, and valuation of intangibles and goodwill. The impact of changes in estimates is recorded in the period in which they become known.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in the form of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). We consider the applicability and impact of all recent ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combination (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which requires entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. The ASU improves comparability after the business combination by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date. This standard will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. While we are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU, we do not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions," which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. This standard will be effective for reporting periods beginning December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. While we are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU, we do not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The unit of account in ASC 606 is a performance obligation, which is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a good or service to the customer.
The majority of our revenue is recognized over time, as control is transferred continuously to our customers who receive and consume benefits as we perform, and is classified as services revenue. Revenue transferred to customers over time accounted for 90% and 93% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 91% and 92% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. All of our business groups earn services revenue under a variety of contract types, including time and materials, firm-fixed price, firm-fixed price level of effort, and cost-plus fixed fee contract types, which may include variable consideration as discussed further below.
Revenue transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for 10% and 7% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 9% and 8% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when the customer obtains control of the transferred product or service, which is generally upon delivery of the product to the customer for their use, due to us maintaining control of the product until that point.
For certain performance obligations where we are not primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the goods or services to the customer, do not have inventory risk and have limited discretion in establishing the price for the goods or services, we recognize revenue on a net basis.
We provide for anticipated losses on contracts during the period when the loss is determined by recording an expense for the total expected costs that exceed the total estimated revenue for a performance obligation.
