Approximately 75% of the increase in accounts receivable was due to the short payment of royalties reported by and deemed collectible from Apple’s contract manufacturers. This same amount is recorded in customer-related liabilities for Apple, since the Company does not have the contractual right to offset these amounts. The remaining increase in accounts receivable resulted from the accounts receivable relating to the Company’s recently formed RF360 Holdings joint venture (Note 8) and the timing of the collection of payments from certain of the Company’s other licensees.

Customer incentives and other customer-related liabilities substantially consist of amounts payable to customers for incentive and other arrangements, including volume-related and other pricing rebates and cost reimbursements for marketing and other activities involving certain of the Company’s products and technologies. The corresponding charges for such arrangements were recorded as a reduction to revenues.
Other Income, Costs and Expenses. Other expenses in the nine months ended June 25, 2017 consisted of a $927 million charge related to the KFTC fine (Note 6), including related foreign currency losses, and $35 million in restructuring and restructuring-related charges related to the Company’s Strategic Realignment Plan. Other expenses in the three months ended June 26, 2016 consisted of restructuring and restructuring-related charges related to the Company’s Strategic Realignment Plan. Other income in the nine months ended June 26, 2016 included a gain of $380 million on the sale of wireless spectrum in the United Kingdom that was held by the QSI (Qualcomm Strategic Initiative) segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 for $232 million in cash and $275 million in deferred payments due in 2020 to 2023, which were recorded at their present values in other assets. Other income in the nine months ended June 26, 2016 also included $158 million in restructuring and restructuring-related charges, which were partially offset by a $48 million gain on the sale of the Company’s business that provided augmented reality applications, both of which related to the Company’s Strategic Realignment Plan.
