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 six months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 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, 2021 and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and all of our other filings with the SEC. Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic ("COVID-19") and Global Supply Chain Constraints on Our Business Since March 2020, we conducted most of our non-production related operations using remote working arrangements, curtailed most business travel, and established social distancing safeguards. Both COVID-19 and the related global supply chain constraints have impacted our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as the operations and financial performance of many of the customers and suppliers in industries that we serve. We have experienced order and production delays, disruptions in component availability and pricing, lower levels of factory utilization and higher logistics and operational costs. Although such business conditions are expected to persist for most of our fiscal 2022, and may carry into fiscal 2023, we believe that our long-term fundamentals remain strong and that our business is well-positioned for growth once the aftershocks of the pandemic subside. CEO Transition Costs On December 31, 2021, our Board of Directors appointed Michael D. Porcelain as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). Prior to that, Mr. Porcelain served as our President and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”). Also, on January 3, 2022, Mr. Porcelain was appointed to our Board of Directors, along with Wendi Carpenter and Mark Quinlan. CEO transition costs were $13,554,000 and all expensed in the three and six months ended January 31, 2022. Of such amount, $10,304,000 related to Mr. Kornberg's severance payments and benefits upon termination of his employment; the remainder related to Mr. Kornberg agreeing to serve as a Senior Technology Advisor for a minimum of two years. Of the total CEO transition costs of $13,554,000, $7,388,000 relates to the amortization of equity-classified stock-based awards.
