Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2026
- These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industries in which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management.
- We anticipate that approximately 660 additional commercial aircraft will be put into service with our IFC systems under existing customer agreements with commercial airlines.
- We currently anticipate that the closing will occur during the third quarter of fiscal year 2027.
- To date, our ability to grow and maintain our revenues in each of our communication services and defense and advanced technologies segments has depended on our ability to identify and target markets where the customer places a high priority on the technology solution, and our ability to obtain additional sizable contract awards.
- For all of these policies, we caution that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and even the best estimates routinely require adjustment.
- We estimate variable consideration at the amount to which we expect to be entitled.
- Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.
- We have elected the practical expedient not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if we expect, at contract inception, that the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
- Under ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs — Contracts with Customers, we recognize an asset from the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect to recover those costs.
- ASC 340-40 also requires the recognition of an asset from the costs incurred to fulfill a contract when (1) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that we can specifically identify, (2) the costs generate or enhance our resources that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future, and (3) the costs are expected to be recovered.
- In accordance with the authoritative guidance for leases (ASC 842), we assess at contract inception whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
- In accordance with the authoritative guidance for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets (ASC 360), we assess potential impairments to our long-lived assets, including property, equipment and satellites and other assets, when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
