Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised product or rendering a service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the product or service (the “transaction price”). The Company’s transaction price in its contracts with customers is generally fixed;

payment discounts, rebates, refunds, or any other forms of variable consideration are included within its contracts. The Company also does

not

provide service-type warranties either via written agreement or customary business practice, nor does it allow customer returns. In connection with the sale of various parts to customers, the Company is subject to typical assurance warranty obligations covering the compliance of the electronics parts produced to agreed-upon specifications (See Note

). Customer returns, when they occur, relate to quality rework issues and are

not

connected to any repurchase obligation of the Company.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or render a service to a customer and is the unit of account to which the transaction price is allocated under ASC

606.

When a contract contains multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to the individual performance obligations using the price at which the promised goods or services would be sold to customers on a standalone basis. For most sales within our Sypris Technologies segment and a portion of sales within Sypris Electronics, control transfers to the customer at a point in time. Indicators that control has transferred include the Company having a present right to payment, the customer obtaining legal title and the customer having the significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point, or equivalent, and, as such, the Company primarily transfers control and records revenue for product sales upon shipment.

For contracts where Sypris Electronics serves as a contractor for aerospace and defense companies under federally funded programs, we generally recognize revenue over time as we perform because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contracts that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. Because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. We use labor hours incurred as a measure of progress for these contracts because it best depicts the Company’s performance of the obligation to the customer, which occurs as we incur labor on our contracts. Under this measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of labor hours incurred to date to the total estimated labor hours at completion of the performance obligation.

The majority of our arrangements are for

one

year or less. For the remaining population of non-cancellable contracts greater than

one

year we had

$6,211,000

of remaining performance obligations as of

April

2018,

all of which were long-term Sypris Electronics’ contracts. We expect to recognize approximately

70%

of our remaining performance obligations as revenue by

2018,

22%

2019

and the balance thereafter.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table summarizes revenue from contracts with customers for the

months ended

2018:

	April 1,

Sypris Technologies – transferred point in time	$	14,507
Sypris Electronics – transferred point in time		914
Sypris Electronics – transferred over time		4,521
Net revenue	$	19,942

Contract Balances

Differences in the timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue, customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets.

Contract assets

– Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts where revenue is recognized over time and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and the right to payment is subject to conditions other than the passage of time. Contract assets are generally classified as current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The balance of contract assets as of

April

2018

and at the date of adoption of ASC

606

were

$1,331,000

and

$825,000,

respectively, and are included within other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Contract liabilities

—

Some of the Company’s contracts within Sypris Electronics are billed as work progresses in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of certain milestones. Often this results in billing occurring prior to revenue recognition resulting in contract liabilities. Additionally, the Company occasionally receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term in the consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. As of

April

2018

and at the date of adoption of ASC

606,

contract liabilities were

$1,268,000

and

$1,509,000,

respectively, and are included within accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition are

not

considered to be significant financing components because they are used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract.

The Company recognized revenue from contract liabilities of

$727,000

and

$250,000

during the

first

quarters of

2018

and

2017,

respectively.

Practical expedients and exemptions

Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period would have been

one

year or less. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

We do

not

disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with original expected lengths of

one

year or less.
