 with the life cycle of a vehicle; however, a LTA does not reach the level of a performance obligation until Gentherm receives either a purchase order and/or a materials release from its customer for a specific number of production parts at a specified price, at which point an enforceable contract exists. Revenue is recognized when control of the production parts has transferred to the customer according to the terms of the contract, which typically occurs at a point in time when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer’s premises. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring production parts. Transaction price is determined based on the price and quantity of parts specified in the contract with the customer at the time of shipment, adjusted for discrete price adjustments and consideration payable to a customer. Discrete price reductions may occur to remain competitive with market prices. These price reductions are negotiated based on changes in product specifications, product content/cost or other commercial factors. Some of these amounts include estimates of variable consideration which are recorded at the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled based on historical experience and input from customer negotiations. From time to time, the Company provides cash incentives to customers in exchange for new business awards. The Company evaluates the underlying economics of each amount of consideration payable to a customer to determine the proper accounting by understanding the reasons for the payment, the rights and obligations resulting from the payment, the nature of the promises in the contract, and other relevant facts and circumstances. When the Company concludes that the payment is incurred only if the new business is obtained and the Company expects to recover the amounts from the customer over the term of the new business arrangement, the Company recognizes these payments as an asset. The Company amortizes the asset as a reduction of revenue as products related to the payment are transferred to the customer, based on the total amount of products expected to be sold over the term of the arrangement (generally 5 to 10 years following start of production). The Company evaluates the amounts capitalized each reporting period for recoverability and recognizes a reduction of revenue for any amounts that are no longer expected to be recovered over the term of the business arrangement. Payments to customers that are not capitalized are recognized as a reduction to revenue at the time of the commitment to make such payments. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, total capitalized payments to customers were $14,276 and $7,305, respectively.There have been no impairment losses in relation to the costs capitalized.
