The Specialty Products segment earns revenues from a variety of submarkets within the industrial market.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
The Company has contract assets and contract liabilities primarily related to in-process tooling projects for long-term supply arrangements with a contractual guarantee for reimbursement by the customer. Contract assets primarily consist of capitalized costs related to customer-owned tooling contracts, wherein the Company has not yet met performance obligations. Contract liabilities include deferred tooling revenue, where the performance obligation was not met. The performance obligation is satisfied and cost of goods sold is recognized and released from the balance sheet when control of the tooling is transferred to the customer.
The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows (dollars in thousands):
 December 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Contract asset$8,010 $1,990 
Contract liabilities11,610 7,930 
During the year ended December 31, 2025, $3.2 million of revenue was recognized that was recorded as a contract liability as of December 31, 2024. The remainder of the change in the contract liability balance was driven by additional deferrals of $11.9 million, primarily from new billings, as well as an increase in the balance resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by revenue recognized on current year deferrals.

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
