Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of SIFCO Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In October 2024, the Company sold its European operations in order to streamline operations and refocus on its core aerospace forging business. SIFCO Irish Holdings, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) pursuant to which it sold 100% of the share capital of C Blade S.p.A. Forging & Manufacturing, an Italian joint stock company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“CBlade”), for cash consideration.
As a result of the sale transaction, the Company’s financial statements have been prepared with the net assets, results of operations, and cash flows of CBlade presented as discontinued operations. All historical statements, amounts and related disclosures have been retrospectively adjusted to conform to this presentation. Refer to Note 2 — Discontinued Operations.
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company’s operations in the United States (“U.S.”) and its non-operating, non-U.S. subsidiaries. For these operations, all gains and losses from completed currency transactions are included in income (loss). Prior to the sale of CBlade, the functional currency for the Company’s other non-U.S. subsidiaries was the Euro; the Company no longer has active operations in Europe. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated using average rates of exchange for the period which approximate the rates in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.
These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”). The year-end consolidated condensed balance sheet contained in these financial statements was derived from the audited financial statements and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.
Net Loss per Share Net Loss per ShareThe Company’s net loss per basic share has been computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

E.Impact of Newly Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2025-01 outlines the effective date of ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), as the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is still permitted. ASU 2024-03 requires both interim and annual disclosures pertaining to expense captions on the face of the income statement within continuing operations containing the following amounts: (i) purchases of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) intangible asset amortization, and (v) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. This disaggregated information will be required to be disclosed with other disaggregated amounts under other U.S. GAAP guidance, such as revenue and income taxes. Additionally, a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and total selling expenses and a definition of such costs (in annual reporting periods only) should be disclosed. More granular information about cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) would assist a reader of the Company's consolidated financial statements in better understanding an entity’s cost structure and forecasting future cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, that would enhance disclosures for significant segment expenses for all public entities required to report segment information in accordance with ASC 280. ASC 280 requires a public entity to report for each reportable segment a measure of segment profit or loss that its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to assess segment performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more useful financial analyses. Currently, Topic 280 requires that a public entity disclose certain information about its reportable segments. For example, a public entity is required to report a measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to assess segment performance and make decisions about allocating resources. ASC 280 also requires other specified segment items and amounts such as depreciation, amortization and depletion expense to be disclosed under certain circumstances. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 do not change or remove those disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 also do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in ASU 2023-07 retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2023-07 to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in ASU 2023-09 prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Fair Value Measurements FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Based on the examination of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.
Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The book value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their fair values because of their short maturities. The carrying value of debt is considered to approximate the fair value based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities. Fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are primarily used in goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets impairment analysis, the valuation of acquired intangibles and in the valuation of assets held for sale. Goodwill and intangible assets are valued using Level 3 inputs. Defined benefit plans can be valued using Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 or a combination of Level 1, 2 and 3 inputs.
Reclassifications Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period amounts to conform to current-period reporting classifications. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Company revised its classification within the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows by moving the prior period amount for contract liabilities from accrued liabilities to contract liabilities to conform to current period presentation.
Revenue
The Company produces forged components for (i) turbine engines that power commercial, business and regional aircraft as well as military aircraft and other military applications; (ii) airframe applications for a variety of aircraft; (iii) industrial gas and steam turbine engines for power generation units; and (iv) commercial space, semiconductor and other commercial applications.
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contract with a customer of the Company are satisfied. A portion of the Company’s contracts are from purchase orders (“PO’s”), which continue to be recognized as of a point in time when products are shipped from the Company’s manufacturing facilities or at a later time when control of the products transfers to the customer. Under the revenue standard, the Company recognizes certain revenue over time as it satisfies the performance obligations because the conditions of transfer of control to the applicable customer are as follows:
•Certain military contracts, which relate to the provisions of specialized or unique goods to the U.S. government with no alternative use, include provisions within the contract that are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”). The FAR provision allows the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience and requires
the customer to pay the Company for costs incurred plus reasonable profit margin and take control of any work in process.
•For certain commercial contracts involving customer-specific products with no alternative use, the contract may fall under the FAR clause provisions noted above for military contracts or may include certain provisions within their contract that the customer controls the work in process based on contractual termination clauses or restrictions of the Company’s use of the product and the Company possesses a right to payment for work performed to date plus reasonable profit margin.
As a result of control transferring over time for these products, revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products to be provided. The Company elected to use the cost to cost input method of progress based on costs incurred for these contracts because it best depicts the transfer of goods to the customer based on incurring costs on the contracts. Under this method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.
