Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The financial results of each segment are based on revenues from external customers, cost of revenue and operating expenses that are directly attributable to the segment and an allocation of costs from shared functions. These shared functions include, but are not limited to, facilities, human resources, information technology, and engineering. Allocations are made based on management’s judgment of the most relevant factors, such as head count, number of customer sites, or other operational data that contribute to the shared costs. Certain corporate-level costs have not been allocated as they are not attributable to either segment. These costs primarily consist of broad corporate functions, including executive, legal, finance, and costs associated with corporate actions. Segment-level asset information has not been provided as such information is not reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker for purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources. There are no inter-segment sales or transactions. The Company's performance is impacted by the levels of activity in the marine and land mobile markets and defense sectors, among others. Performance in any particular period could be impacted by the timing of sales to certain large customers. The mobile connectivity segment primarily manufactures and distributes a comprehensive family of mobile satellite antenna products and services that provide access to television, the Internet and voice services while on the move. Product sales within the mobile connectivity segment accounted for approximately 25% and 27% of our consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Sales of mini-VSAT Broadband airtime service accounted for approximately 40% and 38% of our consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Sales of content and training services within the mobile connectivity segment accounted for approximately 19% and 22% of our consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The inertial navigation segment manufactures and distributes a portfolio of digital compass and fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based systems that address the rigorous requirements of military and commercial customers and provide reliable, easy-to-use and continuously available navigation and pointing data. The principal product categories in this segment include the FOG-based inertial measurement units (IMUs) for precision guidance, FOGs for tactical navigation as well as pointing and stabilization systems, and digital compasses that provide accurate heading information for demanding applications, security, automation and access control equipment and systems. Sales of FOG-based guidance and navigation systems within the inertial navigation segment accounted for approximately 11% and 10% of the company's consolidated net sales for for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. No other single product class accounts for 10% or more of consolidated net sales. The Company operates in a number of major geographic areas across the globe. The Company generates international net sales, based upon customer location, primarily from customers located in Canada, Europe, Africa, Asia/Pacific, the Middle East, and India. International revenues represented 59% and 63% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. No individual foreign country represented 10% or more of the Company's consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the long-lived tangible assets related to the Company’s international subsidiaries were less than 10% of the Company’s long-lived tangible assets and were deemed not material.
