Revenue and Contract Balances | Revenue and Contract BalancesWe disaggregate revenue by client sector and contract type, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following tables present revenue disaggregated by client sector and contract type: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended July 3, June 27, July 3, June 27, (in thousands) Client Sector: U.S. state and local government $ 150,731 $ 135,717 $ 465,770 $ 390,464 U.S. federal government (1) 261,434 265,999 781,503 799,560 U.S. commercial 188,255 153,100 536,901 454,607 International (2) 289,811 246,817 817,311 676,869 Total $ 890,231 $ 801,633 $ 2,601,485 $ 2,321,500 Contract Type: Fixed-price $ 335,014 $ 294,568 $ 982,565 $ 841,118 Time-and-materials 417,898 379,705 1,221,598 1,082,143 Cost-plus 137,319 127,360 397,322 398,239 Total $ 890,231 $ 801,633 $ 2,601,485 $ 2,321,500 (1) Includes revenue generated under U.S. federal government contracts performed outside the United States. (2) Includes revenue generated from foreign operations, primarily in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and revenue generated from non-U.S. clients. Other than the U.S. federal government, no single client accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the three and nine months ended July 3, 2022 and June 27, 2021. Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities We invoice customers based on the contractual terms of each contract. However, the timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoice issuance. Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of the amounts for which we have the contractual right to bill our customers. Such amounts are recoverable from customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones or completion of a contract. In addition, many of our time and materials arrangements are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms that are standard within the industry, resulting in contract assets and/or unbilled receivables being recorded, as revenue is recognized in advance of billings. Contract retentions, included in contract assets, represent amounts withheld by clients until certain conditions are met or the project is completed, which may extend beyond one year. Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of revenue recognized. Contract liabilities decrease as we recognize revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation and increase as billings in advance of revenue recognition occur. Contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. There were no substantial non-current contract assets or liabilities for the periods presented. Net contract assets/liabilities consisted of the following: Balance at July 3, October 3, 2021 (in thousands) Contract assets (1) $ 99,830 $ 103,784 Contract liabilities (247,013) (190,403) Net contract liabilities $ (147,183) $ (86,619) (1) Inclu des $21.3 million and $12.2 million of contract retentions as of July 3, 2022 and October 3, 2021, respectively. In the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenue of approximately $111 million and $108 million, respectively, from amounts included in the contract liability balances at the end of fiscal 2021 and 20 20, respectively. We recognize revenue primarily using the cost-to-cost measure of progress method to estimate progress towards completion. Changes in those estimates could result in the recognition of cumulative catch-up adjustments to the contract’s inception-to-date revenue, costs and profit in the period in which such changes are made. As a result, we recognized net unfavorable revenue and operating income adjustments of $2.8 million and net favorable revenue and operating income adjustments of $2.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022, respectively, compared to net favorable adjustments of $1.7 million and $2.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021, respectively. C hanges in revenue and cost estimates could also result in a projected loss, determined at the contract level, which would be recorded immediate ly in earnings. As of July 3, 2022 and October 3, 2021, our consolidated balance sheets included liabilities for anticipated losses of $11.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively. The estimated cost to complete these related contracts as of July 3, 2022 and October 3, 2021 was approximately $84 million and $104 million, respectively. Accounts Receivable, Net Net accounts receivable consisted of the following: Balance at July 3, October 3, (in thousands) Billed $ 451,065 $ 432,814 Unbilled 276,001 240,536 Total accounts receivable 727,066 673,350 Allowance for doubtful accounts (4,198) (4,352) Total accounts receivable, net $ 722,868 $ 668,998 Billed accounts receivable represent amounts billed to clients that have not been collected. Unbilled accounts receivable, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, include unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue recognized but not yet billed pursuant to contract terms or billed after the period end date. Substantially all of our unbilled receivables at July 3, 2022 are expected to be billed and collecte d within 12 months. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents amounts that are expected to become uncollectible or unrealizable in the future. We determine an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts based on management's consideration of trends in the actual and forecasted credit quality of our clients, including delinquency and payment history; type of client, such as a government agency or a commercial sector client; and general economic and industry conditions, including the potential impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic, that may affect our clients' ability to pay. Claims are amounts in excess of agreed contract prices that we seek to collect from our clients or other third parties for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price, or other causes of unanticipated additional costs. Factors considered in determining whether revenue associated with claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regards to both scope and price) should be recognized include the following: (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in our performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. This can lead to a situation in which costs are recognized in one period and revenue is recognized in a subsequent period when a client agreement is obtained, or a claims resolution occurs. Total accounts receivable at October 3, 2021 included approximately $11 million related to claims, including requests for equitable adjustment, on contracts that provide for price redetermination. This amount related to a single claim in our Remediation and Construction Management ("RCM") reportable segment. In May 2022, we received a cash settlement for the claim, which resulted in an immaterial gain in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. There were no claims included in our total accounts receivable at July 3, 2022. We regularly evaluate all unsettled claim amounts and record appropriate adjustme nts to revenue when it is probable that the claim will result in a different contract value than the amount previously estimated. In the first nine months of fiscal 2022, we recorded no gains or losses related to claims other than the aforementioned immaterial gain on the settled RCM claim. In the first nine months of fiscal 2021 (all in the second quarter), we recognized increases to revenue and related gains of $2.8 million. Other than the U.S. federal government, no single client accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable at July 3, 2022 and October 3, 2021. Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (“RUPO”) Our RUPO represents a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. We h ad $3.5 billion of RUPO as of July 3, 2022. RUPO increases with awards from new contracts or additions on existing contracts and decreases as work is performed and revenue is recognized on existing contracts. RUPO may also decrease when projects are canceled or modified in scope. We include a contract within our RUPO when the contract is awarded and an agreement on contract terms has been reached. We expect to satisfy our RUPO as of July 3, 2022 over the following periods: Amount (in thousands) Within 12 months $ 2,182,597 Beyond 1,312,857 Total $ 3,495,454 Although RUPO reflects business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. RUPO is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate. Our operations and maintenance contracts can generally be terminated by the clients without a substantive financial penalty. Therefore, the remaining performance obligations on such contracts are limited to the notice period required for the termination (usually 30, 60, or 90 days). |
