Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue

Note 9 – Revenue

The Company’s revenues are generated primarily from its manufacturing services, which entails the sale of manufactured products built to customer specifications. The Company also generates revenue from design, development and engineering services, in addition to the sale of other inventory.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a manufactured product to a customer. The Company’s contracts with customers are generally short-term in nature. The Company applies the optional exemption related to short-term performance obligations and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. Customers are generally billed when the product is shipped or as services are performed. Under the majority of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with customers, the customer controls all of the work-in-progress as products are being built. Revenues under these contracts are recognized progressively based on the cost-to-cost method. For other manufacturing contracts, the customer does not take control of the product until it is completed. Under these contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the product to the customer, which is generally when goods are shipped. Revenue from design, development and engineering services is recognized over time as the services are performed. As a general matter, the Company assumes no significant obligations after shipment as it typically warrants workmanship only. Therefore, the warranty provisions are generally not significant.

If the Company records revenue, but does not issue an invoice, a contract asset is recognized. The contract asset is transferred to accounts receivable when the entitlement to payment becomes unconditional.

Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, which are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 89.0% and 90.6%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue was recognized as products and services that were transferred over time.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections result in billed accounts receivable, contract assets and advance payments from customers.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $190.1 million and $183.6 million, respectively, in contract assets from contracts with customers. The contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s right to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional.

Significant changes in contract asset during the period are as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2023			2022
Beginning balance	$	183,613		$	155,243
Revenue recognized		1,911,958			1,937,398
Amounts collected or invoiced		(1,905,486	)		(1,904,911	)
Ending balance	$	190,085		$	187,730

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $189.1 million and $197.9 million, respectively, in advance payments from customers. Of those amounts, $175.1 million and $178.9 million, respectively, were customer deposits and prepayments of inventory and $14.0 million and $18.9 million, respectively, were related to the contractual timing of payments. The advance payments are not considered a significant financing component because they are used to meet working capital demands of a contract, offset inventory risks and protect the Company from the failure of other parties to fulfill obligations under a contract.
