The decrease in accounts receivable of $130.1 million from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 was primarily due to the accounts receivable securitization facility agreement the Company entered in September 2022.

The increase in deferred revenue of $32.7 million from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 was primarily due to cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, largely offset by $507.5 million of revenue recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2022.

The decrease in deferred revenue of $6.1 million from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 was primarily due to $496.4 million of revenue recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2021, largely offset by cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations.

The increase in contract assets of $10.5 million from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 was primarily due to new contract assets recognized, net of new amounts reclassified to receivables during 2023, partially offset by $11.4 million of contract assets included in the balance at January 1, 2023 that were reclassified to receivable when they became unconditional.

See Note 18 for a schedule providing a further disaggregation of revenue.
