ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $1,108, $907 and $1,151 as of December 29, 2023, September 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022, respectively. The determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where specific collection concerns about a receivable exist, a reserve is established to value the affected account receivable at an amount the Company believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on historical experience of bad debts as a percent of accounts receivable outstanding for each business segment. Uncollectible accounts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company typically does not require collateral on its accounts receivable.
