Income taxes · 2,519 characters as filed

Income Taxes The Companys effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was (0.2)% and (1.9)%, respectively, compared with (4.4)% and (1.9)%, for the corresponding periods in the prior year. The effective income tax rate is based on estimated income for the year, the estimated composition of the income in different jurisdictions and discrete adjustments, if any, in the applicable periods, including retroactive changes in tax legislation, settlements of tax audits or assessments, and the resolution or identification of tax position uncertainties. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the effective tax rates differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the Company maintaining a valuation allowance reserve on its U.S. deferred tax assets, discrete tax adjustments and the composition of income from foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had reserves for uncertain tax positions of $788 and $724, respectively. There were no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to the Companys reserve for uncertain tax positions. The Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2025 may decrease $16 in the next twelve months as a result of a lapse of statutes of limitations and settlements with taxing authorities. The Companys tax jurisdictions include the United States, the U

Restructuring · 2,504 characters as filed

Restructuring On February 9, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to implement a staged wind-down of the Companys manufacturing activities at its facility in Middletown, Rhode Island. The Board made this determination following a strategic review of the Companys manufacturing operations, driven by reduced demand for the Companys hardware products in the face of intensifying competition during the third and fourth quarters of 2023. The Board concluded that the Company should discontinue its capital-intensive manufacturing activities and concentrate its efforts on growing sales of its multi-orbit, multi-channel, integrated communications solutions, which in recent years have constituted the largest portion of the Companys overall revenues. The Company expects that it will continue its product manufacturing activities for a period of time in order to generate a targeted amount of inventory of maritime satellite connectivity and satellite television terminals to meet anticipated demand and that it will cease substantially all manufacturing activity by the end of 2026. The Company expects to continue to facilitate customer transition to third-party hardware products compatible with the Companys mobile satellite communications services. The Company also plans to continue to conduct maintenance, refurbishment service, warehousing, shipping and receiving activities at the Middletown, Rhode Island location until the Company's anticipated relocation in the spring of 2026.

Revenue recognition · 5,708 characters as filed

Revenue from Contracts with Customers In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised products and services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these products and services. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table summarizes net sales from contracts with customers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Service - over time $ 25,388 $ 24,410 $ 70,079 $ 74,122 Product - point in time 3,065 4,561 10,411 12,789 Total net sales $ 28,453 $ 28,971 $ 80,490 $ 86,911 For product sales, the delivery of the Companys performance obligations is generally transferred to the customer, and associated revenue is recognized, at a point in time. For service sales, the delivery of the Companys performance obligations is transferred to the customer, and associated revenue is recognized, over time. Revenues for these service agreements are recognized over time using an output method based upon the passage of time, as this provides a faithful depiction of the pattern of transfer of control. 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 offers a comprehensiv

These consolidated interim financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed on March 10, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Subsequent events · 1,216 characters as filed

Subsequent Events On October 8, 2025, the Company acquired certain customer and vendor agreements and other assets from a satellite services provider operating in the Asia-Pacific region for a purchase price consisting of approximately $3.1 million in cash. The Company also paid approximately $0.6 million for certain satellite communications equipment related inventory. The Company expects to record one or more intangible assets with respect to these transactions. In connection with the acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company made offers of employment to eleven employees of the seller, all of which have been accepted. The Company also entered into transition arrangements with the seller to facilitate the orderly transfer of acquired assets. The transfer of certain agreements requires the consent of the counterparty. The Company expects that, if consent is not obtained, the Company and the seller will fulfill those agreements through subcontracting arrangements, where permitted. The agreements remain terminable in accordance with their terms, and the unanticipated termination of any of the agreements may prevent the Company from realizing some or all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
