Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers | 4. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS Disaggregation of Revenue The Company disaggregates revenue based on the method of measuring satisfaction of the performance obligation either over time or at a point in time. Additionally, the Company disaggregates revenue based upon the end market where products and services are transferred to the customer. The Company’s principal operating segments and related revenue are discussed in Note 11, Segments. The following table shows disaggregated net sales satisfied overtime and at a point in time (excluding intercompany sales) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Systems & Support Satisfied over time $ 108,343 $ 118,813 $ 342,007 $ 324,968 Satisfied at a point in time 127,000 140,519 397,804 418,753 Revenue from contracts with customers 235,343 259,332 739,811 743,721 Amortization of acquired contract liabilities 938 4,306 3,633 11,569 Total revenue 236,281 263,638 743,444 755,290 Aerospace Structures Satisfied over time $ 81,511 $ 148,526 $ 308,667 $ 596,145 Satisfied at a point in time 1,457 11,269 21,168 28,003 Revenue from contracts with customers 82,968 159,795 329,835 624,148 Amortization of acquired contract liabilities — 2,561 12 23,448 Total revenue 82,968 162,356 329,847 647,596 $ 319,249 $ 425,994 $ 1,073,291 $ 1,402,886 The following table shows disaggregated net sales by end market (excluding intercompany sales) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Systems & Support Commercial aerospace $ 99,762 $ 92,529 $ 290,347 $ 280,102 Military 113,343 145,168 375,671 396,672 Business jets 11,148 7,802 34,026 26,884 Regional 5,706 5,231 16,294 18,218 Non-aviation 5,384 8,602 23,473 21,845 Revenue from contracts with customers 235,343 259,332 739,811 743,721 Amortization of acquired contract liabilities 938 4,306 3,633 11,569 Total revenue $ 236,281 $ 263,638 $ 743,444 $ 755,290 Aerospace Structures Commercial aerospace $ 75,624 $ 109,929 $ 288,153 $ 372,249 Military 454 31,670 15,367 105,365 Business jets 5,078 18,039 21,588 138,141 Regional 1,544 — 4,441 8,025 Non-aviation 268 157 286 368 Revenue from contracts with customers 82,968 159,795 329,835 624,148 Amortization of acquired contract liabilities — 2,561 12 23,448 Total revenue 82,968 162,356 329,847 647,596 $ 319,249 $ 425,994 $ 1,073,291 $ 1,402,886 Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets primarily represent revenues recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied or partially satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed. This typically occurs when revenue is recognized over time but the Company's contractual right to bill the customer and receive payment is conditional upon the satisfaction of additional performance obligations in the contract, such as final delivery of the product. Contract assets are typically derecognized when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Company pools contract assets that share underlying risk characteristics and records an allowance for expected credit losses based on a combination of prior experience, current economic conditions and management’s expectations of future economic conditions, and specific collectibility matters when they arise. Contract assets are presented net of this reserve on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, credit loss expense and write-offs related to contract assets were immaterial. Contract liabilities are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations to be satisfied over a period of time. Contract liabilities other than those pertaining to forward loss reserves are derecognized when or as revenue is recognized. Contract modifications can also impact contract asset and liability balances. When contracts are modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements, the Company considers whether the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications that are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract, due to the significant integration with the original good or service provided, are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification to an existing contract on the transaction price and the Company's measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. When the modifications include additional performance obligations that are distinct and at relative stand-alone selling price, they are accounted for as a new contract and performance obligation and are recognized prospectively. Contract balances are classified as assets or liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The following table summarizes the Company's contract assets and liabilities balances: December 31, 2021 March 31, Change Contract assets $ 155,284 $ 139,937 $ 15,347 Contract liabilities ( 186,972 ) ( 305,116 ) 118,144 Net contract liability $ ( 31,688 ) $ ( 165,179 ) $ 133,491 During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue due to changes in estimates associated with performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods of $ 5,340 . The change in contract assets is the result of revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed during the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The change in contract liabilities is the result of revenue recognized in excess of the receipt of additional customer advances as well as certain customer advance repayments settled during the nine months ended December 31, 2021. For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $ 68,083 of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. Noncurrent contract assets presented in other, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, were $ 4,529 and $ 5,299 , respectively. Noncurrent contract liabilities presented in other noncurrent liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, were $ 25,990 and $ 100,737 , respectively. Performance Obligations Customers generally contract with the Company for requirements in a segment relating to a specific program, and the Company’s performance obligations consist of a wide range of engineering design services and manufactured components, as well as spare parts and repairs for OEMs. A single contract may contain multiple performance obligations consisting of both recurring and nonrecurring elements.
