contract. Under cost-reimbursement contracts, the price paid to the Company is determined based on the allowable costs incurred to perform plus a fee. The fee component of cost-reimbursement contracts can be fixed based on negotiations at contract inception or can vary based on performance against target costs established at the time of contract inception. The Company also designs, develops and manufactures defense products for international customers through Direct Commercial Sale contracts. The Transport segment supports its products through the sale of aftermarket parts and services. Aftermarket contracts can range from long-term supply agreements to ad hoc purchase orders for replacement parts. The Company evaluates Transport segment contracts at inception to identify performance obligations. The goods and services in Transport segment contracts are typically not distinct from one another as they are generally customized and have complex inter-relationships and the Company is responsible for overall management of the contract. As a result, Transport segment contracts are typically accounted for as a single performance obligation. The Transport segment provides standard warranties for its products for periods that typically range from one to three years. These assurance-type warranties typically cannot be purchased separately and do not meet the criteria to be considered a performance obligation. The Company determines the transaction price for each contract at inception based on the consideration that it expects to receive for the goods and services promised under the contract. This determination is made based on the Company’s current rights, excluding the impact of any subsequent contract modifications (including unexercised options) until they become legally enforceable. Contract modifications frequently occur within the Transport segment. The Company evaluates each modification to identify changes that impact price or scope of its contracts, which are then assessed to determine if the modification should be accounted for as an adjustment to an existing contract or as a separate contract. Contract modifications within the Transport segment are generally accounted for as a cumulative catch-up adjustment to existing contracts as they are not distinct from the goods and services within the existing contract. For Transport segment contracts that include a variable component in the sale price, the Company estimates variable consideration. Variable consideration is included within the contract’s transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The Company evaluates its estimates of variable consideration on an ongoing basis and any adjustments are accounted for as changes in estimates in the period identified. Common forms of variable consideration within Transport segment contracts include cost reimbursement contracts that contain incentives, economic price adjustment clauses, customer reimbursement rights and regulatory or customer negotiated penalties tied to contract performance. The Company recognizes revenue on Transport segment contracts as performance obligations are satisfied and control of the underlying goods and services is transferred to the customer. In making this evaluation, the Transport segment considers contractual terms and whether there is an alternative use for the good or service. Through this process the Company has concluded that substantially all of the Transport segment’s performance obligations, including a majority of performance obligations for aftermarket goods and services, transfer control to the customer over time. For U.S. government and Foreign Military Sale contracts, this determination is supported by the inclusion of clauses within contracts that allow the customer to terminate a contract at the customer's convenience. When these clauses are present, the Company is entitled to compensation for the work performed through the date of notification at a price that reflects actual costs plus a reasonable margin in exchange for transferring its work in process to the customer. For contracts that do not contain termination for convenience provisions, the Company generally transfers control over time as a result of enforceable payment rights and the customized nature of its goods and services, which create assets without an alternative use. The Transport segment recognizes revenue on its performance obligations that are satisfied over time by measuring progress using the cost-to-cost method of percentage-of-completion because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Under the cost-to-cost method of percentage-of-completion, the Transport segment measures progress based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs for the performance obligations. Due to the size and nature of these contracts, the estimation of total revenues and costs is highly complicated and judgmental. The Company must make assumptions regarding expected increases in wages and employee benefits, productivity and availability of labor, material costs and allocated fixed costs. Each contract is evaluated at contract inception to identify risks and estimate revenue and costs. In performing this evaluation, the Transport segment considers risks of contract performance such as technical requirements, schedule, duration and key contract dependencies. Occasionally, the Company incurs production costs not
