Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
General General
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. and its subsidiaries ("Comtech," "we," "us," or "our") as of and for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all material adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the unaudited interim periods. Our results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and all of our other filings with the SEC.

Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current fiscal period presentation.

As discussed in more detail below and in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by us with the SEC on June 15, 2026, subsequent to quarter end, on June 14, 2026, we entered into a transaction to sell most of Comtech's Satellite and Space Communications ("S&S") business to an affiliate of Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. As the criteria for reporting the portion of the S&S business being sold as "held for sale" was not met as of April 30, 2026, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 reflect the portion of the S&S business being sold as "held and used." The portion of the S&S business being retained by Comtech principally includes advanced cybersecurity training in support of U.S. government and certain commercial and university customers.

Subsequent Events

Sale of Most of Satellite and Space Communications Business
On June 14, 2026, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Wavestream Corporation (the “Buyer”), an affiliate of Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd (the “Buyer Parent”), under which the Buyer agreed to acquire the ownership interests of certain of our subsidiaries comprising most of our S&S business. The transaction provides for a base purchase price in cash of $157,500,000, of which $10,000,000 (the "Advance Payment") was payable upon execution of the Purchase Agreement. The closing is subject to customary adjustments for the acquired entities’ cash, indebtedness, net working capital and transaction expenses as of the closing, as well as customary regulatory and other closing conditions, including the waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR") and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS") having been expired or terminated. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, we may retain the Advance Payment as our sole remedy (except for knowing and intentional breach by the Buyer). At closing, the parties will enter into customary ancillary agreements, including: a transition services agreement; a parent guarantee from the Buyer Parent; an escrow agreement, pursuant to which $3,000,000 of the purchase price will be held in escrow to fund negative adjustments to the purchase price; and an intellectual property and information technology assignment agreement in connection with the pre-closing restructuring by Comtech or its applicable subsidiaries.

In accordance with our existing credit facilities, we will use 65% of the net proceeds from the sale of most of S&S' business to prepay the majority of our Credit Facility, with the remaining 35% to prepay subordinated debt outstanding under our Subordinated Credit Facility, starting with repaying the subordinated priority term loan.
Credit Facility
In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, on June 14, 2026, we entered into an additional amendment to our existing Credit Facility (the “Fourth Amendment”). Effective upon execution, the Fourth Amendment, among other things: (a) provides consent to the consummation of the transactions related to the sale of most of our S&S business; (b) acknowledges and agrees that the transactions related to the sale of most of our S&S business shall not result in a Change of Control as defined in the Credit Facility, as amended; (c) suspends, through the four quarter period ending July 31, 2027, testing of the Net Leverage Ratio, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Minimum EBITDA covenants; (d) clarifies that the Advance Payment received under the Purchase Agreement will not be required to be applied to prepay the applicable obligations in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Credit Facility until the transaction closes; (e) provides that the Maximum Revolver Amount under the Credit Facility shall not be reduced to an amount less than $27,250,000 as a result of the prepayment of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms of Credit Facility. The Fourth Amendment also: (i) sets the applicable margin for Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans at 9.50% and 10.50%, respectively, through maturity of the Credit Facility; (ii) provides for a 1.00% interest rate to be applied to the Term Loan balance outstanding at various intervals after the closing of the sale of most of S&S' business; and (iii) reduces the prepayment penalty associated with the application of the net proceeds from the sale of most of S&S' business from 2.00% to 1.00%.

Subordinated Credit Facility
In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, on June 14, 2026, the Subordinated Credit Facility was further amended (“Amendment No. 3”). Effective upon execution, Amendment No. 3, among other things: (a) provides consent to the consummation of the transactions related to the sale of most of our S&S business; (b) acknowledges and agrees that the transactions related to the sale of most of our S&S business shall not result in a Change of Control as defined in the Subordinated Credit Facility; (c) suspends, through the four quarter period ending July 31, 2027, testing of the Net Leverage Ratio, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Minimum EBITDA covenants; (d) clarifies that the Advance Payment received under the Purchase Agreement will not be required to be applied to prepay the applicable obligations in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Credit Facility until the transaction closes; and (e) modifies the calculation of the Make-Whole Amount applicable to certain tranches of subordinated term loans by deferring the respective trigger dates for such Make-Whole Amount adjustments to April 1, 2027. Amendment No. 3 also provides for the issuance to certain subordinated lenders warrants to purchase up to 625,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, vesting on October 17, 2026, and which are forfeitable if the related subordinated term loans are repaid in full prior to vesting.

Convertible Preferred Stock
In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, on June 14, 2026, we entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the holders of Series B-3 Convertible Preferred Stock, pursuant to which the holders, among other things: (a) provided consent to the consummation of the transactions related to the sale of most of our S&S business; (b) waived any rights to repayment or repurchase of shares of Series B-3 Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with the transactions; (c) agreed that holders of Series B-3 Convertible Preferred Stock may not (i) exercise their optional repurchase rights until October 31, 2029, except upon consummation of certain qualified asset sales by us or upon a Change of Control as defined in the Series B-4 Certificate of Designations, or (ii) elect to receive dividends in cash earlier than October 31, 2028. To effect these changes, upon closing of the sale of most of S&S' business: (i) all 178,180.34 shares of Series B‑3 Convertible Preferred Stock will be exchanged for 178,180.34 shares of Series B‑4 Convertible Preferred Stock; and (ii) new Voting Agreements with the holders will automatically take effect. The Series B-4 Convertible Preferred Stock and Voting Agreements have substantially consistent terms with existing agreements. The Series B-4 Convertible Preferred Stock maintains the $7.99 conversion price of the Series B-3 Convertible Preferred Stock. To effect these changes, we also did not incur any fees to the holders of Series B-3 Convertible Preferred Stock.

Additional information about the Purchase Agreement, the Fourth Amendment, Amendment No. 3 and the Exchange Agreement is set forth in our a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by us with the SEC on June 15, 2026.

Liquidity

At April 30, 2026 and June 12, 2026 (the date closest to the issuance date):

total outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility was $119,672,000 and $116,031,000, respectively; of such amount, $3,641,000 was drawn on the Revolver Loan at April 30, 2026; in May 2026, we repaid the remaining $3,641,000 outstanding Revolver Loan balance;
total outstanding borrowings under our Subordinated Credit Facility were $104,135,000 and $104,796,000, respectively, including interest paid-in-kind or accrued on the $35,000,000 subordinated priority term loan; such amount does not include the $32,500,000 Make-Whole Amount associated with the $65,000,000 portion of the Subordinated Credit Facility (pursuant to the terms discussed in Note (10) - Subordinated Credit Facility, as of April 30, 2026 and the issuance date, the Make-Whole Amount percentage for each tranche within the $65,000,000 of principal is 50.0%);

the liquidation preference of our outstanding convertible preferred stock was $218,245,000 and $220,466,000, respectively (excluding potential increases in the liquidation preference and other obligations that could be triggered by, among other things, breaches of covenants and/or asset sales resulting in a change in control of the Company); and

our available sources of liquidity totaled $49,389,000 and $50,010,000, respectively, which includes qualified cash and cash equivalents of $25,780,000 and $22,760,000, respectively, and the remaining available portion of the Revolver Loan of $23,609,000 and $27,250,000, respectively.

As of the issuance date, we expect cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from both operating and financing activities to be our principal sources of liquidity. We believe these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our operating and cash commitments for investing and financing activities over the next year beyond the issuance date. Over the next year beyond the issuance date, we believe that we will be able to generate sufficient positive cash inflows and maximize the remaining available portion of the Revolver Loan under our Credit Facility to continue as a going concern and comply with the covenants contained in our credit facilities. Our ability to meet future anticipated liquidity needs over the next year beyond the issuance date will largely depend on our ability to execute on our operational strategy, generate positive cash inflows from operations, maximize the remaining available portion of the Revolver Loan under our Credit Facility and or secure outside capital. Our ability to do so may also be affected by general economic, financial and other factors which are beyond our control.

CEO Transition Costs and Related
During the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, CEO transition costs were $40,000 and $805,000, respectively, and consisted primarily of net legal expenses related to a former CEO and residual expense related to a sign-on bonus for our current CEO. During the nine months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, CEO transition costs were $1,096,000 and $1,072,000, respectively. In addition to those items discussed above, such costs also included severance related to a former CEO and third party CEO search firm expenses.
