When the SEC's staff reviews a filing, it writes to the company with numbered questions, and the company answers each one in a letter. SEC publishes the exchange once the review is over, at least 20 business days later. A question is not an accusation; most reviews end with the company adding detail to its next filing.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies · Revenue Recognition, page 48
SEC asked (2)
Please expand your revenue recognition policy to discuss how and when revenue for your specific products within your two reportable segments is recognized. For example, disclose for which products and services revenue is recognized at a point in time and those that are recognized over time, including the input measures used in recognizing the revenue.
Rest of the question

Disclose when control of your products or services is transferred to the customer, along with the related performance obligations. Your current disclosure in the first paragraph is general in nature, and should be expanded or tailored to be specific to the nature of the products and services you provide. For example, we note your Materials Group segment manufactures and sells pressure-sensitive label materials and performance tapes products, brand graphics and reflective products, whereas your Solutions Group segment offers RFID solutions, branding and embellishment solutions, data management and identification solutions, etc. as disclosed in the Business section and also in Note 15. Please revise your disclosures accordingly. Refer to ASC 606-10-25-14 through 25-18 and ASC 606-10-50-12.
