Accounts Receivable Arrangements |
NOTE 9—ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARRANGEMENTS: The Company has an uncommitted supply-chain financing program with a global financial institution under which trade accounts receivable of certain customers and their affiliates may be acquired, without recourse, by the financial institution. Available capacity under this program is dependent on the level of the Company’s trade accounts receivable with these customers and the financial institution’s willingness to purchase such receivables. As of November 30, 2019 and 2018, accounts receivable sold to and held by the financial institution under this program were $32,472 and $33,677, respectively. Discount fees related to the sale of trade accounts receivable under this facility are included in “Interest expense and finance charges, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, discount fees were $2,281, $1,621 and $1,201, respectively. SYNNEX Japan, the Company's Japanese Technology Solutions subsidiary, has arrangements with financial institutions for the sale and financing of approved accounts receivable and notes receivable. The amounts outstanding under these arrangements that were sold, but not collected, as of November 30, 2019 and 2018 were $2,856 and $2,848, respectively. The Company also has other financing agreements in North America with financial institutions (“Flooring Companies”) to allow certain customers of the Company to finance their purchases directly with the Flooring Companies. Under these agreements, the Flooring Companies pay to the Company the selling price of products sold to various customers, less a discount, within approximately 15 to 30 days from the date of sale. The Company is contingently liable to repurchase inventory sold under flooring agreements in the event of any default by its customers under the agreement and such inventory being repossessed by the Flooring Companies. See Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies for further information. The following table summarizes the net sales financed through flooring agreements and the flooring fees incurred:
As of November 30, 2019 and 2018, accounts receivable subject to flooring agreements were $69,637 and $84,668, respectively. |
