As of January 27, 2018, the Company’s accounts receivable, net were $318.7 million. Subsequently, on January 28, 2018 (the Company’s first day of adoption of ASU 2014-09) the Company reclassified $311.7 million of unbilled receivables from contract assets (historically referred to as Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings) to accounts receivable, net in accordance with the guidance under ASU 2014-09. As a result of the reclassification, accounts receivable, net were $630.4 million as of January 28, 2018. As of October 27, 2018, the corresponding balance was $849.8 million. The increase is primarily a result of an increased level of operations and an increase in amounts invoiced to customers under large programs during the nine months ended October 27, 2018. See Note 3, Accounting Standards, for further information on the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

During the three and nine months ended October 27, 2018 and October 28, 2017, write-offs to the allowance for doubtful accounts, net of recoveries, were not material.

As of January 27, 2018, the Company’s contract assets (historically referred to as Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings) were $369.5 million. Subsequently, on January 28, 2018 (the Company’s first day of adoption of ASU 2014-09) the Company reclassified $311.7 million of unbilled receivables from contract assets to accounts receivable, net in accordance with the guidance under ASU 2014-09. As a result of the reclassification, contracts assets were $57.8 million as of January 28, 2018. As of October 27, 2018, the corresponding balance was $147.3 million. The increase primarily resulted from services performed under contracts consisting of multiple tasks, for which billings will be submitted upon completion of the remaining tasks not yet completed. There were no other significant changes in contract assets during the period. During the nine months ended October 27, 2018, the Company performed services and recognized an immaterial amount of revenue related to its contract liabilities that existed at January 27, 2018.
