NOTE 2 – Revenue Recognition

CTS designs and manufactures sensors, actuators, and electronic components for original equipment manufacturers and the U.S. Government. For each contract with a customer, we determine the transaction price based on the consideration expected to be received by the Company in exchange for performing its obligations under the applicable contract. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation to deliver a good or service, or a collection of goods and/or services, based on the relative standalone selling prices. We usually expect payment from our customers within 30 to 90 days from the shipping date or invoicing date, depending on our terms with the customer. None of our contracts as of June 30, 2025 contained a significant financing component. Differences between the amount of revenue recognized and the amount invoiced, collected from, or paid to our customers are recognized as contract assets or liabilities. Contract assets will be reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable.

To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, we estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the most likely value method based on an analysis of historical experience and current facts and circumstances, which may require significant judgment. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.

The majority of our revenue is derived from contracts for sales of commercial products, which generally contain a single performance obligation. We generally recognize revenue at a point in time on the delivery date based on the shipping terms stipulated in the contract.

We also design, manufacture, and test products for certain customers under contracts that allow the customers to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, take control of any work in process, and pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit. Revenue from these contracts is generally recognized over time as the work progresses, either as products are produced or services are rendered, because we generally do not have an alternative use for the completed assets produced and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. These contracts may contain a single or multiple performance obligations. The accounting for these contracts involves applying significant judgment with respect to estimating total revenues, costs and profit for each performance obligation. We generally estimate revenue for these contracts using the costs incurred by the Company as we have determined it is most representative of the Company's cumulative efforts relative to the total expected efforts to satisfy the performance obligations.
