RECEIVABLES

Receivables were comprised of the following:


	September 27,		December 31,
(In thousands)	2024		2023
Billed receivables	$	101,274	$	109,318
Unbilled receivables (contract assets)	644,735		561,862
Other	20,390		34,815
Total receivables	$	766,399	$	705,995

As of September 27, 2024 and December 31, 2023, substantially all billed receivables were due from the U.S. government, either directly as prime contractor to the U.S. government or as subcontractor to another prime contractor to the U.S. government. Because the Company's billed receivables are with the U.S. government, the Company does not believe it has a material credit risk exposure.

Unbilled receivables are contract assets that represent revenue recognized on long-term contracts in excess of amounts billed as of the balance sheet date. The Company expects to bill customers for most of the September 27, 2024 contract assets during 2024. Changes in the balance of receivables are primarily due to the timing differences between performance and customers' payments.

SALE OF RECEIVABLES

The Company has a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (MARPA Facility) with MUFG Bank, Ltd. (MUFG) for the sale of certain designated eligible receivables up to a maximum amount of $300.0 million with the U.S. government. Receivables sold under the MARPA Facility are without recourse for any U.S. government credit risk.

The Company accounts for these receivable transfers under the MARPA Facility as sales under ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, and removes the sold receivables from its balance sheet. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated their book value due to their short-term nature.

1 For the nine months ended September 27, 2024, the Company recorded a net cash inflow from sale of receivables of $70.7 million from operating activities.
2 Includes the cash collected on behalf of, but not yet remitted to, MUFG as of September 27, 2024. This balance is included in other accrued liabilities as of the balance sheet date.

During the nine months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, the Company incurred purchase discount fees, net of servicing fees, of $7.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, which are presented in other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and are reflected as cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company does not retain an ongoing financial interest in the transferred receivables other than cash collection and administrative services. The servicing fee approximates fair value and, therefore, the Company has not recognized a servicing asset or liability as of September 27, 2024. Proceeds from the sale of receivables are reflected as cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
