Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

  1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Key Tronic Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet information was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2024.

The Company’s reporting period is a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. The three month periods ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, were both 13 week periods. Fiscal year 2025 will end on June 28, 2025, which is a 52 week year. Fiscal year 2024 which ended on June 29, 2024, was also a 52 week year.

Management’s Assessment of Liquidity

Historically, due to the timing between the procurement of raw materials, production cycle and payment from our customers, we have financed operations and met our capital expenditure requirements primarily through cash flows provided by operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. We generated operating income and net income of $4.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, during the 3-month period ended September 28, 2024, and have positive working capital of $176.1 million as of September 28, 2024. Based on current projections, we anticipate generating cash from operations as revenue is expected to increase during the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 and decreasing working capital requirements as existing backlog is manufactured and shipped.

As of September 28, 2024, approximately $18.5 million was available under the asset-based revolving credit facility with Bank of America, an additional MXN 1 million ($0.04 million USD) was available under the line of credit with Banorte Financial Group, and $6.6 million of cash was on hand. As of September 28, 2024, we have limited borrowing capacity on our credit facility, which matures on December 3, 2025. We are in discussions with multiple financial institutions to extend the borrowing capacity on our credit facility. If we are unable to meet projected operating results or restructure or refinance our asset-based revolving credit facility, we may need to delay the purchase of raw materials or require our customers to fund inventory raw material costs ahead of production. Other options to increase our liquidity include factoring receivables or leveraging foreign owned assets for additional borrowing capacity. We believe that projected cash from operations, funds available under our asset-based revolving credit facility and additional financing options will be sufficient to meet our working and fixed capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.

  1. Significant Accounting Policies

Reclassifications

Certain prior period reclassifications were made to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income, comprehensive income, cash flows, total assets, or shareholders' equity as previously reported.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable and records an allowance for credit losses, which reduces the receivables to an amount that management reasonably estimates will be collected. A specific allowance is recorded against receivables considered to be impaired based on the Company’s knowledge of the financial condition of the customer, and a general allowance is calculated and applied to remaining receivables based on the Company's historical collection experience. In determining the amount of the allowance, the Company considers several factors including the aging of the receivables, the current business environment and historical experience. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

Leases

Lease assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. Lease assets also include any lease prepayments. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of income. For further information, please refer to Footnote “Leases” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Revenue Recognition

The first step in its process for revenue recognition is to identify the contract with a customer. A contract is defined as an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations. A contract can be written, oral, or implied. The Company generally enters into manufacturing service agreements (“MSA”) with its customers that outlines the terms of the business relationship between the customer and the Company. This includes matters such as warranty, indemnification, transfer of title and risk of loss, liability for excess and obsolete inventory, pricing, payment terms, etc. The Company will also bid on a program-by-program basis for customers in which an executed MSA may not be in place. In these instances, as well as when we have an MSA in place, we receive customer purchase orders for specific quantities and timing of products. As a result, the Company considers its contract with a customer to be the combination of the MSA and the purchase order. The transaction price is fixed and set forth in each purchase order. In the Company's normal course of business, there are no variable pricing components, or material amounts refunded to customers in the form of refunds or rebates.

The Company assesses whether control of the product or services promised under the contract is transferred to the customer at a point in time (shipment) or over time (as we manufacture the product). The Company is first required to evaluate whether its contracts meet the criteria for 'over-time' or 'point-in-time' recognition. The Company has determined that for the majority of its contracts the Company is manufacturing products for which there is no alternative use due to the unique nature of the customer-specific product, IP and other contract restrictions. The Company has an enforceable right to payment including a reasonable profit for performance completed to date with respect to these contracts. As a result, revenue is recognized under these contracts 'over-time' based on the input cost-to-cost method as it better depicts the transfer of control. This input method is based on the ratio of costs incurred to date as compared to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. For all other contracts that do not meet these criteria, such as manufacturing contracts for which the terms do not provide an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, the Company recognizes revenue when it has transferred control of the related manufactured products which generally occurs upon shipment to the customer. Revenue from engineering services is recognized over time as costs related to the services are incurred, which approximates proportional performance of the service. This method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts. Revenue from scrap and excess inventory sales is recognized at the point-in-time of scrap at the customers direction, or, if applicable, shipment of the material to the customer.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the combination of other potentially dilutive weighted average common shares and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. The computation assumes the proceeds from the exercise of equity awards were used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The computation of diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of common stock equivalent shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts which are accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and is reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. The derivative’s effectiveness represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in fair value of the hedged item.

The Company uses derivatives to manage the variability of foreign currency fluctuations of expenses in our Mexico facilities. The foreign currency forward contracts have terms that are matched to the underlying transactions being hedged. As a result, these transactions fully offset the hedged risk and no ineffectiveness has been recorded.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts potentially expose the Company to credit risk to the extent the counterparty may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. The Company minimizes such risk by utilizing a counterparty with a strong credit rating. The Company’s counterparty to the foreign currency forward contracts is a major banking institution. This institution does not require collateral for the contracts, and the Company believes that the risk of the counterparty failing to meet their contractual obligations is remote. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Income Taxes

We compute our interim income tax provision through the use of an ETR applied to year-to-date operating results and specific events that are discretely recognized as they occur. In determining the estimated annual ETR, we analyze various factors, including projections of our annual earnings, taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, our ability to use tax credits and available tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates, and certain circumstances with respect to valuation allowances or other unusual or non-recurring tax adjustments, are reflected in the period in which they occur as an addition to, or reduction from, the income tax provision, rather than included in the estimated annual ETR.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences and benefits attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as tax credit and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities for a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

We utilize a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments based on new assessments and changes in estimates and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax expense. The tax years 2005 through the present remain open to examination by the major U.S. taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. Refer to Note 5 for further discussions.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On November 4, 2024 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The ASU requires entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements specified information about certain costs and expenses. The ASU applies to the Company’s annual reporting period beginning in fiscal year 2028 and interim reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2029. The Company does not anticipate early adoption of the new disclosure standard.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires entities to disclose more detailed information relating to their reconciliation of statutory tax rate to effective tax rate, income taxes paid by jurisdiction, pretax income (or loss) from continuing operations, and income tax expense (or benefit). The ASU applies to the Company’s annual reporting period beginning in fiscal year 2026. The Company does not anticipate early adoption of the new disclosure standards.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments' oversight and significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The ASU is effective for the annual reporting period beginning in fiscal year 2025 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50). This standard requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a roll forward of the related obligations. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The ASU became effective for the Company July 2, 2023, except for the roll forward requirement, which becomes effective June 30, 2024. This ASU, except for the roll forward requirement, was adopted retrospectively as of July 2, 2023 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(1) On August 14, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America (“Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement replaced the Company’s prior amended and restated credit agreement, as amended, with Wells Fargo Bank. The Loan Agreement provides for an asset-based senior secured revolving credit facility with an original availability of up to $93 million.

On September 3, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement, which increased the availability under the credit facility to $120 million, subject to the Company’s borrowing base, and set the maturity date to September 3, 2026. On August 26, 2022, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Loan Agreement, which removed the cash flow leverage ratio covenant and increased the interest rate by 25 basis points. On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Loan Agreement, effective as of March 29, 2024, which amendment modified debt covenant provisions to reduce the minimum requirement for the fixed charge coverage ratio from 1.25:1.00 to 1.00:1.00 as of March 30, 2024 and allow for the add back of severance expenses incurred during the quarter ended March 30, 2024. The minimum requirement for the fixed charge coverage ratio will increase as follows:1.05:1.00 on July 27, 2024,1.15:1.00 on October 26, 2024,1.20:1.00 on January 25, 2025, and 1.25:1.00 on and after March 29, 2025. In addition, the amendment increased the interest rate by 100 basis points beginning on March 29, 2024 and moved forward the maturity date byone year to September 3, 2025. On September 27, 2024, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to the Loan Agreement, which extended the maturity date by three months to December 3, 2025. On October 9, 2024, the Company entered into a sixth amendment to the Loan Agreement, The Amendment waived existing events of default relating to non-compliance with (a) prescribed fixed charge coverage ratios for the periods ending June 29, 2024 and July 27, 2024 and (b) delivering audited financial statements within 90 days of the Company's fiscal year-end. The Amendment increased the interest rate by 50 basis points beginning on October 9, 2024 so that the applicable margin on base rate loans is 3.50% and term SOFR loans is 4.50%. In addition, the Amendment increased the availability block, which reduces the calculated borrowing base under the Loan Agreement, from $8 million to $10 million, with further increases to $11 million and $12 million to be effective on December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

As of September 28, 2024, the Company had an outstanding balance under the asset-based revolving credit facility of $101.5 million, $0.4 million in outstanding letters of credit and $18.5 million available for future borrowings.

As of June 29, 2024, the Company had an outstanding balance under the asset-based credit facility of $107.1 million, $0.3 million in outstanding letters of credit and $12.9 million available for future borrowings.

Generally, the interest rate applicable to loans under the Bank of America loan agreement will be, at the Company’s option: (i) the base rate which is the highest of (a) the Prime Rate for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate for such day plus 0.50%, and (c) Term SOFR for a one month interest period as of such day, plus 1.00% (provided that in no event shall the base rate be less than zero), plus the applicable interest margin for base rate loans; or (ii) SOFR rate for an applicable interest period, plus the applicable interest margin for SOFR rate loans. As modified by the sixth amendment to the Loan Agreement, the applicable interest margin on: (x) base rate loans is 3.50% and (y) SOFR rate loans is 4.50% , resetting on a quarterly basis. If there is an event of default that is not waived under the Loan Agreement, all loans and other obligations will bear interest at a rate of an additional 2.00% on the otherwise applicable interest rates. In addition to interest charges, the Company is required to pay a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility, monthly in arrears.

As of September 28, 2024, the interest rate on the asset-based revolving credit facility with Bank of America was 8.97%.

(2) On December 11, 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement in Mexican peso with Banorte Financial Group. The agreement provides for athree-year secured line of credit up to MXN 100 million, subject to the Company’s borrowing base, maturing on December 11, 2026. The credit facility bears interest at Iterbancario de Equilibrio Interest Rate plus 2.75%, and as of September 28, 2024, was 13.8%. As of September 28, 2024, the Company had an outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility of MXN 99 million ($5.06 million USD) and MXN 1 million ($0.03 million USD) available for future borrowings.

(3) On September 19, 2023, the Company entered into a $1.1 million equipment financing agreement with Ameris Bank dba Balboa Capital ("Balboa Capital"). Combining with other equipment financing agreements entered in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, a total of $5.5 million relates to the Company’s existing manufacturing equipment that bears an interest rate range of 6% -8% and matures in the first quarter of fiscal 2030. Under these loan agreements, equal monthly payments of $94,000 commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 and will continue through the maturity of the equipment financing facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2030. The Company had an outstanding balance $4.3 million as of September 28, 2024.

(4) On November 24, 2020, the Company entered into a $6.0 million equipment financing facility related to the Company’s existing manufacturing equipment that bears interest at 5.52% and matures on April 24, 2026.

The Company must comply with certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio. The credit agreement requires the Company to grant certain inspection rights to Bank of America, limit or restrict the Company’s cash management; limit or restrict the ability of the Company to incur additional liens, make acquisitions or investments, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations, dissolutions, or dispositions, pay dividends or other restricted payments, prepay certain indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, and use proceeds. As of September 28, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

  1. Income Taxes

The Company expects to repatriate a portion of its foreign earnings based on increased net sales growth driving additional capital requirements domestically, cash requirements for potential acquisitions and to implement certain tax strategies. The Company currently expects to repatriate approximately $8.2 million of foreign earnings in the future. All other unremitted foreign earnings are expected to remain permanently reinvested for planned fixed assets purchases and improvements in foreign locations.

Repatriations of cash will generally be tax-free in the U.S. However, withholding taxes in China may still apply to any such future repatriations. Management has not changed its indefinite investment assertions with regard to the portion of accumulated earnings and profits in China that may be repatriated in the future. Accordingly, management estimates that future repatriations of cash from China may result in approximately $0.8 million of withholding tax. We do not anticipate there would be any offsetting foreign tax credits in the U.S. and as such, this potential liability is a direct cost associated with actual repatriations. Withholding taxes would not apply to future repatriations from Mexico or Vietnam.

The Company has available approximately $10.6 million of gross federal research and development tax credits as of September 28, 2024. ASC 740 requires the Company to recognize in its financial statements uncertainties in tax positions taken that may not be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Accordingly, as of September 28, 2024, the Company has recorded $2.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits associated with these federal tax credits, resulting in a net deferred tax benefit of approximately $7.8 million.

The Company evaluated tax law changes and regulatory guidance issued through the prior fiscal year. Such changes and regulations include guidance relating to foreign tax credits and consolidated NOL carryback claims. The Company evaluated the ongoing impact of these law and regulatory changes, and determined that they did not have a material impact on its provision for income taxes. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 includes a new book minimum tax on certain large corporations and an excise tax on corporate stock buybacks, among other provisions. The Company has evaluated the impacts of this Act, and at this time the Company does not believe they will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On January 27, 2021, the Company received official notice from the Vietnamese tax authorities, confirming tax benefits awarded (the “tax holiday”) related to the Company’s principal product line in Vietnam. The tax rate related to this product line will be zero percent for four years beginning with fiscal year 2021, then five percent for nine years, then ten percent for one year (as opposed to the normal twenty percent each year).

  1. Stock-Based Compensation and Benefit Plans

The Company’s 2010 Incentive Plan provides for equity and liability awards to employees and non-employee directors with service and performance vesting conditions in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards, stock units, performance shares, performance units, and other stock-based or cash-based awards. At September 28, 2024,1,018,265 shares were available for grant. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite employee service period, which is generally the vesting period, and is recorded as employee compensation expense in cost of goods sold, research, development and engineering, and selling, general and administrative expenses. Share-based compensation is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest. For SARs awards forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical experience and future expectations. Due to a lack of historical experience and a different grant pool than SARs, forfeitures for restricted stock units are accounted for prospectively as they occur.

Stock Appreciation Rights

In addition to service conditions, SARs contain a performance condition. The additional performance condition is based upon the achievement of Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) goals relative to a peer group. All awards with performance conditions are evaluated quarterly to determine the likelihood that performance metrics will be achieved during the performance period. These awards are charged to compensation expense over the requisite service period based on the number of shares expected to vest. If the performance and service conditions are attained, then the SARs cliff vest after the completion of thethree-year period from date of grant and expire five years from date of grant.

Exercisable at September 28, 2024————

The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used by the Company for estimating the fair value of SARs. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly for the expected term and expected stock price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. There were no SARs granted during the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Share-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. This forfeiture rate will be revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the amount estimated. Total SARs expense recognized during the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was approximately $19,000 and $59,000, respectively.

There were no SARs exercised during the three months ended September 28, 2024 or September 30, 2023.

As of September 28, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense for SARs awards was approximately $0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.8 years.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units that have a performance condition and/or a service condition. Restricted stock units with only a service condition generally vest in equal annual installments over a maximum ofthree years. Certain restricted stock units are granted with a performance condition. The final number of shares issued will be determined annually based on the achievement of annual financial targets.

  1. Revenue

Revenue Recognition

The Company specializes in services ranging from product manufacturing to engineering and tooling services. The first step in its process for revenue recognition is to identify the contract with a customer. A contract is defined as an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations. A contract can be written, oral, or implied. The Company generally enters into manufacturing service agreements (“MSA”) with its customers that outline the terms of the business relationship between the customer and the Company. This includes matters such as warranty, indemnification, transfer of title and risk of loss, liability for excess and obsolete inventory, pricing, payment terms, etc. The Company will also bid on a program-by-program basis for customers in which an executed MSA may not be in place. In these instances, as well as when we have an MSA in place, we receive customer purchase orders for specific quantities and timing of products. As a result, the Company considers its contract with a customer to be the combination of the MSA and the purchase order. The transaction price is fixed and set forth in each purchase order. In the Company's normal course of business, there are no variable pricing components, or material amounts refunded to customers in the form of refunds or rebates.

The Company assesses whether control of the product or services promised under the contract is transferred to the customer at a point in time (shipment) or over time (as we manufacture the product). The Company is first required to evaluate whether its contracts meet the criteria for 'over-time' or 'point-in-time' recognition. The Company has determined that for the majority of its contracts the Company is manufacturing products for which there is no alternative use due to the unique nature of the customer-specific product, IP and other contract restrictions. The Company has an enforceable right to payment including a reasonable profit for performance completed to date with respect to these contracts. As a result, revenue is recognized under these contracts 'over-time' based on the input cost-to-cost method as it better depicts the transfer of control. This input method is based on the ratio of costs incurred to date as compared to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. For all other contracts that do not meet these criteria, such as manufacturing contracts for which the terms do not provide an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, the Company recognizes revenue when it has transferred control of the related manufactured products which generally occurs upon shipment to the customer. Revenue from engineering services is recognized over time as costs related to the services are incurred, which approximates proportional performance of the services. This method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts. Revenue from scrap and excess inventory sales is recognized at the point-in-time of scrap at the customers direction, or, if applicable, shipment of the material to the customer.

The Company’s sales arrangements do not contain any significant financing component for its customers.

The Company generally provides a warranty for workmanship on its manufacturing contracts. Although we offer warranties on our products, our warranties are considered to be assurance-type in nature and do not cover anything beyond ensuring that the product is functioning as intended. Based on the guidance in ASC 606, assurance-type warranties do not represent separate performance obligations; therefore, the primary performance obligation in the majority of our contracts is the delivery of a specific good through the purchase order submitted by our customer.

The Company elected not to disclose information about remaining performance obligations as they are part of contracts that have expected durations of one year or less.

The Company has elected to expense costs to obtain contracts as incurred as these costs are immaterial to the financial statements.

During the first three months of fiscal year 2025, no revenues were recognized from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods.

Contract Balances

A contract asset is recognized when the Company has recognized revenue, but has not issued an invoice for payment. Contract assets are classified separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and transferred to receivables when the right to payment becomes unconditional.
