Receivables, net	$	2,337	$	2,444
Contract assets	9,094		9,472

Receivables, net consist of approximately $1.7 billion from the U.S. Government and $648 million from other governments and commercial customers as of December 31, 2019.

Contract assets are net of $33.0 billion and $30.2 billion of customer advances and progress payments as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Contract assets decreased $378 million during 2019, primarily due to billings related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations during 2019 exceeding the revenue recognized. There were no significant impairment losses related to our contract assets during 2019 and 2018. We expect to bill our customers for the majority of the December 31, 2019 contract assets during 2020.

Contract liabilities increased $563 million during 2019, primarily due to payments received in excess of revenue recognized on these performance obligations. During 2019 and 2018, we recognized $3.9 billion of our contract liabilities at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as revenue. During 2017, we recognized $3.3 billion of our contract liabilities at December 31, 2016 as revenue.
