Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted - In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to provide more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the consolidated statement of income. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which clarifies the measurement of expected credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets arising from revenue transactions within the scope of Topic 606. The amendments require entities to measure expected credit losses for these financial assets using a methodology consistent with the current expected credit loss model while clarifying the interaction between the guidance in Topic 326 and Topic 606.

Revenue recognition · 2,680 characters as filed

NOTE 3: REVENUE RECOGNITION The Companys sales revenue is derived primarily from short term contracts with customers, which are generally in effect for less than twelve months. Sales revenue from manufactured equipment transferred at a single point in time accounts for a majority of the Companys revenue. Sales revenue is recognized when control of the Companys manufactured equipment is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive based upon the agreed transaction price. The Companys performance obligations are satisfied when its customers take control of the purchased equipment, which is based on the contract terms. Based on prior experience, the Company reasonably estimates its sales returns and warranty reserves. Sales are presented net of discounts and allowances. Discounts and allowances are determined when a sale is negotiated. The Company does not grant its customers or independent representatives, the ability to return equipment nor does it grant price adjustments after a sale is complete. The Company does not capitalize any sales commission costs related to the acquisition of a contract. All commissions related to a performance obligation that are satisfied at a point in time are expensed when the customer takes control of the purchased equipment. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have origi
