2.    REVENUE RECOGNITION

Performance Obligations

The Company considers control of most products to transfer at a single point in time when control is transferred to the customer, generally when the products are shipped in accordance with an agreement and/or purchase order. Control is defined as the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the product.

The Company satisfies its performance obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods and services in exchange for monetary consideration from the customer. The Company considers the customer’s purchase order, and the Company’s corresponding sales order acknowledgment as the contract with the customer. For some customers, control, and a sale, is transferred at a point in time when the product is delivered to a customer. For a limited number of contracts, for which revenue derived is not material in the periods presented, the Company recognizes revenue over time in proportion to costs incurred, over the life of the term of the performance obligation, or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

Nature of Goods and Services

The Company designs, manufactures, and sells precision motion, control, power, and structural components to provide integrated system solutions as well as individual products to end customers and original equipment manufacturers (“OEM’s”) through the Company’s own direct sales force and authorized manufacturers’ representatives and distributors. The Company’s products include brushed and brushless DC motors, brushless servo and torque motors, coreless DC motors, integrated brushless motor-drives, gearmotors, gearing, modular digital servo drives, motion controllers, incremental and absolute optical encoders, active and passive filters for power quality and harmonic issues, transformers, and other controlled motion-related products. The Company’s target markets include Industrial, Vehicle, Medical, and Aerospace & Defense

Determining the Transaction Price

The majority of the Company’s contracts have an original duration of less than one year. For these contracts, the Company applies the practical expedient and therefore does not consider the effects of the time value of money. For multiyear contracts, the Company uses judgment to determine whether there is a significant financing component. Management has identified one contract that includes a significant financing component as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Contracts that management determines to include a significant financing component, in which the customer has made an up-front payment, are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company incurs interest expense and accrues a contract liability. As the Company satisfies performance obligations and recognizes revenue from these contracts, interest expense is recognized simultaneously.

Contracts that management determines to include a significant financing component, in which revenue recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed, are discounted at a rate that reflects the customer’s creditworthiness. The Company realizes interest income and recognizes a contract asset. Interest income is recognized over the financing period.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and target markets. The Company determines that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As noted below in Note 17, Segment Information, the Company’s business consists of one reportable segment. Revenue by geographic region is based on point of shipment origin.

A disaggregation of revenue by target market and geography is provided below:

Contract Balances

When the timing of the Company’s delivery of product is different from the timing of the payments made by customers, the Company recognizes either a contract asset (performance precedes customer payment) or a contract liability (customer payment precedes performance). Typically, contracts are paid in arrears and are recognized as receivables after the Company considers whether a significant financing component exists.

The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets and liabilities are as follows:

The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets and liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. In the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $1,233 and $439, respectively, that was included in the opening contract liabilities balance.

Significant Payment Terms

The Company’s contracts with its customers state the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product or service purchased. Payments are typically due in full within 30-60 days of delivery. Individual contracts with certain customers may include alternative payment schedules. Since the customer agrees to a stated rate and price in the contract that do not vary over the contract, the majority of contracts do not contain variable consideration.

Returns, Refunds, and Warranties

In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. The Company establishes provisions for estimated returns and warranties. All contracts include a standard warranty clause to guarantee that the product complies with agreed specifications.
