The following table illustrates the approximate percentage of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied over time versus the amount of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time:

 

		Fiscal Year Ended
		March 28, 2026				March 29, 2025				March 30, 2024
Point-in-time			95	%			98	%			98	%
Over time			5	%			2	%			2	%
			100	%			100	%			100	%

 

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders meeting the definition of a contract in ASC Topic 606 for which work has not been performed or has been partially performed and excludes unexercised contract options. The duration of the majority of our contracts, as defined by ASC Topic 606, is less than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, which allows companies to exclude remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for such contracts with a duration of more than one year was approximately $1,267.2 at March 28, 2026. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 42% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months with the remainder recognized thereafter.

 

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affect accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

 

Contract Assets - Pursuant to the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior to the customer being invoiced. An unbilled amount is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when (1) the cost-to-cost method is applied and (2) such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer. Such amounts are recoverable from our customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, shipment of specified units, or completion of a contract. Contract assets are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets or other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

As of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, current contract assets were $9.3 and $6.6, respectively, and included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in current contract assets was primarily due to current contract assets acquired as part of the VACCO acquisition and the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations prior to billing, partially offset by amounts billed to customers during the period. As of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the Company had noncurrent contract assets of $10.8 and $0.0, respectively, which were included within other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in noncurrent contract assets was primarily due to the acquisition of VACCO.

 

Contract Liabilities - Contract liabilities can arise from a customer advance or deposit prior to revenue being recognized. Since the performance obligations related to such advances may not have been satisfied, a contract liability is established. In addition, contract liabilities can arise from our over-time revenue contracts when amounts invoiced to our customers exceed revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Contract liabilities are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets until the respective revenue is recognized. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as the timing of the transfer of the related goods or services is at the discretion of the customer.

 

As of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, current contract liabilities were $59.3 and $32.7, respectively, and included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in current contract liabilities was primarily due to current contract liabilities acquired as part of the VACCO acquisition and advance payments received, partially offset by revenue recognized on customer contracts. For the year ended March 28, 2026, the Company recognized revenues of $24.4 that were included in the contract liability balance as of March 29, 2025. For the year ended March 29, 2025, the Company recognized revenues of $18.1 that were included in the contract liability balance at March 30, 2024.

 

As of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, noncurrent contract liabilities were $79.5 and $12.1, respectively, and included within other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in noncurrent contract liabilities was primarily due to the acquisition of VACCO and advance payments received.

Variable Consideration

 

The amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services is not generally subject to significant variations. However, the Company does offer certain customers rebates, prompt payment discounts, end-user discounts, the right to return eligible products, and/or other forms of variable consideration. The Company estimates this variable consideration using the expected value amount, which is based on historical experience. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company adjusts the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Accrued customer rebates were $40.7 and $40.0 at March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, and were included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
