DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS	NOTE A — DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS Organization Monocle Acquisition Corporation (“Monocle”) was initially formed on August 20, 2018 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. ​ On December 22, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Monocle consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 8, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Monocle, AerSale Corporation (f/k/a Monocle Holdings Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), AerSale Aviation, Inc. (f/k/a AerSale Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“AerSale Aviation”), Monocle Merger Sub 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub 1”), Monocle Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub 2”), and Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as the initial Holder Representative (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Merger” or the “Business Combination” and in connection therewith, Monocle merged with and into us, whereby we survived the Merger and became the successor issuer to Monocle by operation of Rule 12g-3 under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. ​ Upon the consummation of the Merger: (a) Merger Sub 1 was merged with and into Monocle, with Monocle surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger”), and (b) Merger Sub 2 was merged with and into AerSale Aviation, with AerSale Aviation surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Second Merger”).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which permits reduced disclosures for interim periods. Although these interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual consolidated financial statements, management believes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows have been made. Unaudited interim results of operations and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 Revenue Recognition Products — Used Serviceable Material (“USM”) Sales Revenues from sales of USM are measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales commissions and taxes collected and remitted to government agencies. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. The parts are sold at a fixed price with no right of return. In determining the performance obligation, management has identified the promise in the contract to be the shipment of the spare parts to the customer. Title passes to the buyer when the goods are shipped, and the buyer is responsible for any loss in transit and the Company has a legal right to payment for the spare parts once shipped. We generally sell our USM products under standard 30-day payment terms, subject to certain exceptions. Customers neither have the right to return products nor do they have the right to extended financing. The Company has determined that physical acceptance of the spare parts to be a formality in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Spare parts revenue is based on a set price for a set number of parts as defined in the purchase order. The performance obligation is completed once the parts have shipped and as a result, all of the transaction price is allocated to that performance obligation. The Company has determined that it is appropriate to recognize spare parts sales at a point in time (i.e., the date the parts are shipped) in accordance with ASC 606. Products — Whole Asset Sales Revenues from whole asset sales are measured based on consideration specified in the contract with the customer. The Company and customer enter into an agreement which outlines the place and date of sale, purchase price, condition of the whole asset, bill of sale and the assignment of rights and warranties from the Company to the customer. The Company has identified the transfer of the whole asset as the performance obligation. The transaction price is set at a fixed dollar amount per fixed quantity (number of whole assets) and is explicitly stated in each contract. Whole asset sales revenue is based on a set price for a set number of assets, which is allocated to the performance obligation discussed above, in its entirety. The Company has determined the date of transfer to the customer is the date the customer obtains control over the asset and would cause the revenue recognition. Payment is required in full upon customers’ acceptance of the whole asset on the date of the transfer, unless the Company extends credit terms to customers it deems creditworthy. Leasing Revenues The Company leases aircraft and engines (“Flight Equipment”) under operating leases that contain monthly base rent and reports rental income straight line over the life of the lease as it is earned. Additionally, the Company’s leases provide for supplemental rent, which is calculated based on actual hours or cycles of utilization and, for certain components, based on the amount of time until maintenance of that component is required. In certain leases, the Company records supplemental rent paid by the lessees as maintenance deposit payments and other liabilities in recognition of the Company’s contractual commitment to reimburse qualifying maintenance. Reimbursements to the lessees upon receipt of evidence of qualifying maintenance work are charged against the existing maintenance deposit payment liabilities. In leases where the Company is responsible for performing certain repairs or replacement of aircraft components or engines, supplemental rent is recorded as revenue in the period earned. In the event of premature lease termination or lessee default on the lease terms, revenue recognition will be discontinued when outstanding balances are beyond the customers’ deposits held. Flight Equipment leases are billed in accordance with the lease agreement and invoices are due upon receipt. Service Revenues Service revenues are recognized as performance obligations are fulfilled and the benefits are transferred to the customer. At contract inception, we evaluate if the contract should be accounted for as a single performance obligation or if the contract contains multiple performance obligations. In some cases, our service contract with the customer is considered one performance obligation as it includes factors such as the good or service being provided is significantly integrated with other promises in the contract, the service provided significantly modifies or customizes the other good or service or the goods or services are highly interdependent or interrelated with each other. If the contract has more than one performance obligation, the Company determines the standalone price of each distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation and allocates the transaction price based on their relative standalone selling prices. The transaction price of a contract, which can include both fixed and variable amounts, is allocated to each performance obligation identified. Some contracts contain variable consideration, which could include incremental fees or penalty provisions related to performance. Variable consideration that can be reasonably estimated based on current assumptions and historical information is included in the transaction price at the inception of the contract but limited to the amount that is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. For most service contracts, our performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time based on transfer of control of products and services to our customers. We receive payments from our customers based on billing schedules or other terms as written in our contracts. For our performance obligations that are satisfied over time, we measure progress in a manner that depicts the performance of transferring control to the customer. As such, we utilize the input method of cost-to-cost to recognize revenue over time as this depicts when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognized based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to date to the estimated total cost at completion of the performance obligation. We are required to make certain judgments and estimates, including estimated revenues and costs, as well as inflation and the overall profitability of the arrangement. Key assumptions involved include future labor costs and efficiencies, overhead costs and ultimate timing of product delivery. Differences may occur between the judgments and estimates made by management and actual program results. Under most of our maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) contracts, if the contract is terminated for convenience, we are entitled to payment for items delivered, fair compensation for work performed, the costs of settling and paying other claims and a reasonable profit on the costs incurred or committed. Changes in estimates and assumptions related to our arrangements accounted for using the input method based on labor hours are recorded using the cumulative catchup method of accounting. These changes are primarily adjustments to the estimated profitability for our long-term programs where we provide MRO services. We have elected to use certain practical expedients permitted under ASC 606. Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and are not considered a performance obligation to our customers. Our reported revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is net of any sales or related non-income taxes. New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted There have been no recent accounting pronouncements, changes in accounting pronouncements, or recently adopted accounting guidance during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that are of significance or potential significance to us. ​ Payroll Support Programs In connection with the financial assistance the Company received under the Payroll Support Program, the Company was required to comply with certain provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), including the requirement that funds provided pursuant to the Payroll Support Program be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of employee wages, salaries and benefits and the requirement against involuntary terminations and furloughs and reductions in employee pay rates and benefits from the signing date of the Payroll Support Program agreement through September 30, 2021. The agreement also required the Company to issue a recall to any employee who was terminated or furloughed between October 1, 2020 and March 4, 2021 and enable such employee to return to employment. In addition, the Company was subject to provisions prohibiting the repurchase of common stock and the payment of common stock dividends through September 30, 2022, and limited the payment of certain employees’ compensation, which lapsed on April 1, 2023. If the Company does not comply with these provisions, it may be required to reimburse up to 100% of any previously received relief funds. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable provisions of the CARES Act, Payroll Support Program and American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. ​

In order to comply with these sanctions, we ceased pursuing future business in Russia and terminated three leases in 2022 with operators doing business in Russia, successfully recovering two aircraft with one engine still unrecovered. Due to continued uncertainty in the ability to recover this engine from Russia or to collect insurance coverage, we impaired this asset during the second quarter of 2022. Although the current sanctions prohibit the continuation of certain business activities, the three leases referenced were contractually scheduled to expire in 2022 and therefore did not have a material impact on our business. While it is difficult to predict the short or long term implications of this conflict and sanctions on the global economy and the aviation industry, we intend to fully comply with all applicable sanctions and embargoes, and do not expect the current situation will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. ​ Emerging Military Conflict in Israel On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants launched an extensive military operation into Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks, followed by an invasion of Israeli territory by land, air and sea directed at civilian and military targets. On October 8, 2023 Israel formally declared war on Hamas after their deadly attack. The intensity and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas is difficult to predict, as are such war’s global economic impact and impact on the Company’s business and operations and on the businesses and operations of the Company’s suppliers, customers and other third parties with which the Company conducts business. Although we do not expect the current situation will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, our supplier of most of the components in our Enhanced Flight Vision System “AerAware” and our ERP supplier are both based in Israel. ​

REVENUE
REVENUE	NOTE D — REVENUE The timing of revenue recognition, customer billings and cash collections results in a contract asset or contract liability at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables or costs incurred where revenue recognized over time exceeds the amounts billed to customers. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Certain customers make advance payments prior to the satisfaction of performance obligations on the contract. These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities until such performance obligations are satisfied. Contract assets and contract liabilities are determined on a contract-by-contract basis. Contract assets are as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Change Contract assets ​ $ 7,007 ​ $ 7,277 ​ $ (270) ​ Contract assets are reported within deposits, prepaid expenses, and other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in contract assets primarily result from the timing difference between the performance of services. Contract liabilities are reported as deferred revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amounted to $1.4 million as of December 31, 2022, of which $1.1 million was related to contract liabilities for services to be performed. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized as revenue the full amount of contract liabilities included in the beginning balance for services performed as the timing between customer payments and our performance of the services is generally no longer than six months. No such revenue was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company reports revenue by segment.

WARRANT LIABILITY
WARRANT LIABILITY	NOTE J – WARRANT LIABILITY ​ Warrants to purchase a total of 623,834 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 750,000 warrants were issued to founders in a private placement (the “Private Warrants”). Each of the Private Warrants entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. During 2022, a private warrant holder initiated a cashless exercise of 126,166 warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (remaining term on exercised warrants at September 30, 2023 was 2.2 years) and we issued 47,867 shares of common stock based on the fair value at the date of exercise of $18.5306 per share. The Private Warrants include provisions that affect the settlement amount. Such variables are outside of those used to determine the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed instrument, and as such, the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment under guidance contained in ASC Topic 815, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock.” The Company classifies the Private Warrants as a liability at their fair value subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and adjusted at each reporting period until exercised or expired, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table represents the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the Private Warrants as of September 30, 2023: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2023 Risk-free interest rate ​ 4.60% Expected volatility of common stock ​ 41.48% Dividend yield ​ - Expected option term in years ​ 2.2 ​ ​ The significant assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes calculation consist of interest rate for U.S. Treasury Bonds, as published by the U.S. Federal Reserve, and expected volatility estimated using historical daily volatility of guideline public companies. ​ The warrant liability adjustment recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the change in fair value of warrant liability was $0.1 million expense and $1.0 million income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The warrant liability expense recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations related to the change in fair value of warrant liability was $2.0 million and $1.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
BUSINESS SEGMENTS	NOTE L — BUSINESS SEGMENTS Consistent with how our chief operating decision maker (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance and utilizes gross profit as a profitability measure, the Company reports its activities in two business segments: ● Asset Management Solutions — comprised of activities to extract value from strategic asset acquisitions through leasing, trading, or disassembling for product sales. ● TechOps — comprised of MRO activities and product sales of internally developed engineered solutions and other serviceable products. The Asset Management Solutions segment activities include monetization of assets through the lease or sale of whole assets, or through disassembly activities in support of our USM-related activities. Our monetizing services have been developed to maximize returns on mid-life Flight Equipment throughout their operating life, in conjunction with realizing the highest residual value of Flight Equipment at its retirement. The TechOps segment consists of aftermarket support and services businesses that provide maintenance support for aircraft and aircraft components, and sale of engineered solutions. Our MRO business also engages in longer term projects such as aircraft modifications, cargo conversions of wide-body aircraft, and aircraft storage. The segment also includes MRO of landing gear, thrust reversers, and other components. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of product, direct labor, and overhead. Our engineered solutions revenue consists of sales of products internally developed as permitted by Supplemental Type Certificates issued by the FAA. These products are proprietary in nature and function as non-original equipment manufacturer solutions to airworthiness directives and other technical challenges for operators. In order to develop these products, the Company engages in research and development (“R&D”) activities, which are expensed as incurred. The TechOps segment also engages in the repair and sale of USM inventory for which it has the overhaul capabilities and relationships to sell. Gross profit is calculated by subtracting cost of sales from revenue. The assets and certain expenses related to corporate activities are not allocated to the segments. Our reportable segments are aligned principally around the differences in products and services. The segment reporting excludes the allocation of selling, general and administrative expenses, interest income (expense) and income tax expense. Selected financial information for each segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended September 30, ​ Nine Months Ended September 30, ​ ​ 2023 2022 ​ 2023 2022 Revenue ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Asset Management Solutions ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Aircraft ​ $ 20,888 ​ $ 6,503 ​ $ 57,836 ​ $ 78,343 Engine ​ 44,166 ​ 14,088 ​ 92,719 ​ 131,319 ​ ​ 65,054 ​ 20,591 ​ 150,555 ​ 209,662 TechOps ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ MRO services ​ 23,154 ​ 26,390 ​ 78,725 ​ 72,258 Product sales ​ 4,276 ​ 4,018 ​ 10,583 ​ 7,888 Whole asset sales ​ ​ - ​ - ​ 218 ​ 23,605 ​ ​ 27,430 ​ 30,408 ​ 89,526 ​ 103,751 Total ​ $ 92,484 ​ $ 50,999 ​ $ 240,081 ​ $ 313,413 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended September 30, ​ Nine Months Ended September 30, ​ ​ 2023 ​ 2022 ​ 2023 2022 Gross profit ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Asset Management Solutions ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Aircraft ​ $ 6,656 ​ $ 2,480 ​ $ 16,871 ​ $ 29,779 Engine ​ 11,881 ​ 6,210 ​ 31,080 ​ 60,439 ​ ​ 18,537 ​ 8,690 ​ 47,951 ​ 90,218 TechOps ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ MRO services ​ 3,892 ​ 5,453 ​ 17,078 ​ 16,257 Product sales ​ 1,045 ​ 1,346 ​ 2,600 ​ 3,174 Whole asset sales ​ ​ - ​ - ​ 376 ​ 7,523 ​ ​ 4,937 ​ 6,799 ​ 20,054 ​ 26,954 Total ​ $ 23,474 ​ $ 15,489 ​ $ 68,005 ​ $ 117,172 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 Total assets ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Asset Management Solutions ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 382,624 ​ $ 233,034 Tech Ops ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 156,672 ​ ​ 141,406 Corporate ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 14,606 ​ ​ 157,139 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 553,902 ​ $ 531,579 ​ The following table reconciles segment gross profit to (loss) income before income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, ​ ​ 2023 2022 ​ 2023 2022 Segment gross profit ​ $ 23,474 ​ $ 15,489 ​ $ 68,005 ​ $ 117,172 Selling, general and administrative expenses ​ (25,403) ​ (23,983) ​ (77,724) ​ (71,252) Interest (expense) income, net ​ (250) ​ 393 ​ 1,178 ​ 15 Other income, net ​ 127 ​ 45 ​ 498 ​ 526 Change in fair value of warrant liability ​ ​ (55) ​ ​ (2,029) ​ ​ 1,004 ​ ​ (1,881) (Loss) income before income tax provision ​ $ (2,107) ​ $ (10,085) ​ $ (7,039) ​ $ 44,580 ​ Intersegment sales include amounts invoiced by a segment for work performed for another segment.

Interim Financial Statements	Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which permits reduced disclosures for interim periods. Although these interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual consolidated financial statements, management believes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows have been made. Unaudited interim results of operations and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Products — Used Serviceable Material (“USM”) Sales Revenues from sales of USM are measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales commissions and taxes collected and remitted to government agencies. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. The parts are sold at a fixed price with no right of return. In determining the performance obligation, management has identified the promise in the contract to be the shipment of the spare parts to the customer. Title passes to the buyer when the goods are shipped, and the buyer is responsible for any loss in transit and the Company has a legal right to payment for the spare parts once shipped. We generally sell our USM products under standard 30-day payment terms, subject to certain exceptions. Customers neither have the right to return products nor do they have the right to extended financing. The Company has determined that physical acceptance of the spare parts to be a formality in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Spare parts revenue is based on a set price for a set number of parts as defined in the purchase order. The performance obligation is completed once the parts have shipped and as a result, all of the transaction price is allocated to that performance obligation. The Company has determined that it is appropriate to recognize spare parts sales at a point in time (i.e., the date the parts are shipped) in accordance with ASC 606. Products — Whole Asset Sales Revenues from whole asset sales are measured based on consideration specified in the contract with the customer. The Company and customer enter into an agreement which outlines the place and date of sale, purchase price, condition of the whole asset, bill of sale and the assignment of rights and warranties from the Company to the customer. The Company has identified the transfer of the whole asset as the performance obligation. The transaction price is set at a fixed dollar amount per fixed quantity (number of whole assets) and is explicitly stated in each contract. Whole asset sales revenue is based on a set price for a set number of assets, which is allocated to the performance obligation discussed above, in its entirety. The Company has determined the date of transfer to the customer is the date the customer obtains control over the asset and would cause the revenue recognition. Payment is required in full upon customers’ acceptance of the whole asset on the date of the transfer, unless the Company extends credit terms to customers it deems creditworthy. Leasing Revenues The Company leases aircraft and engines (“Flight Equipment”) under operating leases that contain monthly base rent and reports rental income straight line over the life of the lease as it is earned. Additionally, the Company’s leases provide for supplemental rent, which is calculated based on actual hours or cycles of utilization and, for certain components, based on the amount of time until maintenance of that component is required. In certain leases, the Company records supplemental rent paid by the lessees as maintenance deposit payments and other liabilities in recognition of the Company’s contractual commitment to reimburse qualifying maintenance. Reimbursements to the lessees upon receipt of evidence of qualifying maintenance work are charged against the existing maintenance deposit payment liabilities. In leases where the Company is responsible for performing certain repairs or replacement of aircraft components or engines, supplemental rent is recorded as revenue in the period earned. In the event of premature lease termination or lessee default on the lease terms, revenue recognition will be discontinued when outstanding balances are beyond the customers’ deposits held. Flight Equipment leases are billed in accordance with the lease agreement and invoices are due upon receipt. Service Revenues Service revenues are recognized as performance obligations are fulfilled and the benefits are transferred to the customer. At contract inception, we evaluate if the contract should be accounted for as a single performance obligation or if the contract contains multiple performance obligations. In some cases, our service contract with the customer is considered one performance obligation as it includes factors such as the good or service being provided is significantly integrated with other promises in the contract, the service provided significantly modifies or customizes the other good or service or the goods or services are highly interdependent or interrelated with each other. If the contract has more than one performance obligation, the Company determines the standalone price of each distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation and allocates the transaction price based on their relative standalone selling prices. The transaction price of a contract, which can include both fixed and variable amounts, is allocated to each performance obligation identified. Some contracts contain variable consideration, which could include incremental fees or penalty provisions related to performance. Variable consideration that can be reasonably estimated based on current assumptions and historical information is included in the transaction price at the inception of the contract but limited to the amount that is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. For most service contracts, our performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time based on transfer of control of products and services to our customers. We receive payments from our customers based on billing schedules or other terms as written in our contracts. For our performance obligations that are satisfied over time, we measure progress in a manner that depicts the performance of transferring control to the customer. As such, we utilize the input method of cost-to-cost to recognize revenue over time as this depicts when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognized based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to date to the estimated total cost at completion of the performance obligation. We are required to make certain judgments and estimates, including estimated revenues and costs, as well as inflation and the overall profitability of the arrangement. Key assumptions involved include future labor costs and efficiencies, overhead costs and ultimate timing of product delivery. Differences may occur between the judgments and estimates made by management and actual program results. Under most of our maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) contracts, if the contract is terminated for convenience, we are entitled to payment for items delivered, fair compensation for work performed, the costs of settling and paying other claims and a reasonable profit on the costs incurred or committed. Changes in estimates and assumptions related to our arrangements accounted for using the input method based on labor hours are recorded using the cumulative catchup method of accounting. These changes are primarily adjustments to the estimated profitability for our long-term programs where we provide MRO services. We have elected to use certain practical expedients permitted under ASC 606. Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and are not considered a performance obligation to our customers. Our reported revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is net of any sales or related non-income taxes.
