FINANCING RECEIVABLES AND OPERATING LEASES

Our financing receivables and operating leases consist primarily of leases of IT and communication equipment and notes receivable from financing customer purchases of third-party software, maintenance, and services. Our leases often include elections for the lessee to purchase the underlying asset at the end of the lease term. Often, our leases provide the lessee a bargain purchase option.

The following table provides the profit recognized for sales-type leases at their commencement date, including modifications that are recognized on a net basis, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 (in thousands):

TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

We enter into arrangements to transfer the contractual payments due under financing receivables and operating lease agreements, which are accounted for as sales or secured borrowings.

For transfers accounted for as a secured borrowing, the corresponding investments serve as collateral for non-recourse notes payable. As of December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, we had financing receivables of $70.0 million and $35.7 million, respectively, and operating leases of  $2.5 million for both periods, which were collateral for non-recourse notes payable. See Note 8, “Notes Payable and Credit Facility.”


For transfers accounted for as a sale, we derecognize the carrying value of the asset transferred plus any liability and recognize a net gain or loss on the sale, which are presented within net sales in the consolidated statement of operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, we recognized net gains of $8.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and total proceeds from these sales were $422.1 million and $157.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, we recognized net gains of $16.3 million and $15.1 million, respectively, and total proceeds from these sales were $704.3 million and $586.1 million, respectively.



When we retain servicing obligations in transfers accounted for as sales, we allocate a portion of the proceeds to deferred revenue, which is recognized as we perform the services. As of December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, we had deferred revenue of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for servicing obligations.

In a limited number of transfers accounted for as sales, we provide an indemnification right to the assignee if the lessee elects to early terminate the lease. As of December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, the total potential payments that could result from these indemnities was immaterial.
