For product sales, the delivery of the Company’s performance obligations is generally transferred to the customer, and associated revenue is recognized, at a point in time, with the exception of certain VSAT contracts which are transferred to customers over time. For service sales, the delivery of the Company’s performance obligations is transferred to the customer, and associated revenue is recognized, over time. The Company's performance is impacted by the levels of activity in the marine and land mobile markets, among other factors. Performance in any particular period could be impacted by the timing of sales to certain large customers.

The Company primarily manufactures and distributes a comprehensive family of mobile satellite antenna products and services that provide access to the Internet, television, and VoIP services while on the move. Product sales accounted for 12% and 19% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 14% and 19% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Service sales of VSAT Broadband airtime service accounted for 82% and 76% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 80% and 74% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The balance of service sales is comprised of distribution of commercially licensed entertainment and news, product repairs, and extended warranty sales.

No other single product class accounts for 10% or more of the Company's consolidated net sales.

The Company operates in a number of major geographic areas, including internationally. Revenues from international locations primarily include Singapore, Canada, South America countries, European Union countries and other European countries, and countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia/Pacific, including India. Revenues are based upon customer location and revenues from international locations represented 69% and 62% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 67% and 61% of consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Sales to Singapore customers represented 18% and 17% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No other individual foreign country represented 10% or more of the Company's consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. Sales to Singapore customers represented 18% and 16% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No other individual foreign country represented 10% or more of the Company's consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the long-lived tangible assets related to the Company’s international subsidiaries were less than 10% of the Company’s long-lived tangible assets.
Business and Credit Concentrations

Concentrations of risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across several geographic areas. Although the Company does not foresee that credit risk associated with these receivables will deviate from historical experience, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of those individual customers. The Company establishes allowances for credit losses and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon expected losses, historical experience and its expectation for future collectability concerns.

No single customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. Two customers accounted for approximately 18% and 11% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2023, respectively. Two customers accounted for approximately 16% and 12%, respectively, of accounts receivable at December 31, 2022. One customer accounted for 64% and 66% of long-term accounts receivable included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets related to sales-type leases at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Certain components from third parties used in the Company’s products are procured from single sources of supply. The failure of a supplier, including a subcontractor, to deliver on schedule could delay or interrupt the Company’s delivery of products and thereby materially adversely affect the Company’s revenues and operating results.

Customer Contract Balances

The following table provides the balance sheet location and amounts of contract assets, or unbilled accounts receivable, and contract liabilities, or deferred revenue, from contracts with customers as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Contract Balance TypeBalance Sheet LocationSeptember 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Current portion of deferred costsCurrent contract assets$1,130 $1,243 
Non-current portion of deferred costsNon-current contract assets2,557 3,033 
Current portion of deferred revenuesContract liabilities*1,668 1,743 
Non-current portion of deferred revenuesLong-term contract liabilities3,905 4,315 

*Management notes that the remaining “Contract liabilities” balance not included in the above table (which as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is $1,600 and $1,365, respectively) relates to deferred income unaffiliated with the Company’s primary revenue streams, the majority of which relates to our content subscription business. These values are therefore excluded from the contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers.

There were no material changes to contract asset balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of changes in estimates or impairments. The change in the contract liability balance from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the increase in upfront support billings received in the first nine months of 2023 in comparison to revenues recognized in the prior period from historical support billings.
