Deferred Revenues

For certain products or services and customer types, we require payment before delivery to the customer. We defer revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, including amounts which are refundable. This is also the case for services associated with certain product sales. The balance in the deferred revenue and customer advances was $46.7 million as of September 27, 2019 and $40.0 million as of December 28, 2018. Net sales for the year to date included $34.9 million in 2019 and $21.8 million in 2018 that related to deferred revenue as of the beginning of each period.
