  15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On May 7, 2025, the Company submitted to The Boeing Company a Request for Equitable Pricing Adjustment on the Boeing A-10 program addressing higher manufacturing costs on its 2019 firm fixed price contract. Subsequently, on July 14, 2025, the Company received a Termination Notice from The Boeing Company with respect to the Boeing A-10 program directing the Company to scrap and return materials and tooling to the Air Force prior to August 15, 2025 when funding would no longer be available, as well as a claim for damages incurred by Boeing as a result of the alleged contract default. The Company continues to have correspondence with the Boeing Company over the termination of the Boeing A10 program. In light of these events, and in conjunction with the Air Force’s decision to accelerate the retirement of the Boeing A-10 fleet, the Company evaluated the situation and recognized an adjustment to its contract revenues and costs to address the contract termination during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company will continue to evaluate the customers claim and will recognize any contingent losses, if required, in the period in which additional losses become both probable, and reasonably estimable.

 

The Company may be involved in various claims, suits, assessments, investigations, and legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. The Company accrues a liability when it is both probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these accruals at least quarterly and adjusts them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company’s views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations, or legal proceedings change, changes in the Company’s accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period such determination is made. For some matters, the amount of liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and, therefore, accruals have not been made.
