Envoy Aerospace is an FAA Organization Designation Authorization (“ODA”) services provider. Envoy Aerospace is included in our Aerospace segment. The total purchase price was approximately $8.3 million, net of cash acquired and the estimated closing adjustment. Of the purchase price, $4.5 million was paid at the closing date. Payments of $2.0 million and $1.8 million will become payable by the Company following the first and second anniversary of the closing date, respectively, based on the achievement of certain milestones.
On October 13, 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Bühler Motor Aviation (“BMA”), located in Uhldingen-Mühlhofen, Germany.

Restricted Cash
Under the provisions of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility (as defined and discussed below in Note 7, Long-term Debt and Notes Payable) which was terminated on October 22, 2025, the Company had a cash dominion arrangement with the banking institution for its accounts within the United States whereby daily cash receipts were contractually utilized to pay down outstanding balances on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. Account balances that had not yet been applied to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility were classified as restricted cash in the applicable Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The
following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash included in Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets to the amounts included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.
(In thousands) April 4, 2026 March 29, 2025
Cash and Cash Equivalents $ 11,867  $ 24,805 
Restricted Cash —  1,143 
Total Cash and Restricted Cash Shown in Statements of Cash Flows $ 11,867  $ 25,948 
Trade Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
The allowance for estimated credit losses is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as the age of the receivable balances, historical experience, credit quality, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.
The changes in allowances for estimated credit losses for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025 consisted of the following:
Three Months Ended
(In thousands) April 4, 2026 March 29, 2025
Balance at Beginning of the Period $ 847  $ 2,377 
Bad Debt Expense, Net of Recoveries 652  (128)
Write-off Charges Against the Allowance and Other Adjustments (136) 42 
Balance at End of the Period $ 1,363  $ 2,291 
Cloud Computing Arrangements
The Company incurs costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that are hosted by third-party vendors. Implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements are capitalized when incurred during the application development phase. Amortization begins when the related cloud computing solution is ready for its intended use and is calculated on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the cloud computing arrangement. Implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements are reflected in Cash from Operating Activities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with ASC Topic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. The Company capitalized implementation costs related to such arrangements of $5.0 million and $2.8 million as of April 4, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, within other non-current assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Amortization expense was insignificant for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025.
Valuation of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
The Company tests goodwill at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
Long-lived assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever adverse effects or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability test consists of comparing the undiscounted projected cash flows with the carrying amount. Should the carrying amount exceed undiscounted projected cash flows, an impairment loss would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds fair value.
As of April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the Company concluded that no indicators of impairment relating to intangible assets or goodwill existed and an interim test was not performed in the three-month periods then ended.
Foreign Currency Translation
The aggregate foreign currency transaction gain or loss included in operations was immaterial for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025.
New or Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. There have been no new applicable accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended April 4, 2026 as compared with the recent accounting
pronouncements described in the 2025 10-K. ASUs not disclosed were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or had or are expected to have minimal impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.
