Supplier Finance Programs

SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAMS

We have a supplier financing program in China, which is utilized to finance the purchases of goods and services from our suppliers through local banking institutions. The payment terms under the program vary, but the program has a weighted average maturity date that is approximately 90 days from each respective financing inception. These financing arrangements are included in the current portion of borrowings within the consolidated balance sheets and at the time of issuance each transaction is treated as a non-cash financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows. Upon settlement of the financing, the cash outflow is classified as a financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows. Amounts outstanding under this program were $3.8 million, $13.5 million and $24.0 million at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, including $1.1 million, $3.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, related to purchases of property, plant and equipment. Cash outflows under this program were $41.9 million, $64.6 million and $63.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We maintain a voluntary supply chain financing ("SCF") program with a global financial institution which allows a select group of suppliers to sell their receivables to the participating financial institution at the discretion of both parties on terms that are negotiated between the supplier and the financial institution. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the program are paid by us to the financial institution according to the terms we have with the supplier. Amounts outstanding under the SCF program were $27.6 million and $29.8 million at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

We also participate in a virtual card program with a global financial institution, in which we pay supplier invoices on the due date using a Virtual Card Account ("VCA") and subsequently pay the balance in full 25 days after the billing statement date of the VCA. The program allows for suppliers to receive an accelerated payment for a fee at each supplier's discretion. Fees paid by our suppliers are negotiated directly with the financial institution without our involvement. Amounts outstanding under the VCA program were $7.6 million and $6.8 million at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The payment terms we have with our suppliers who participate in the SCF and VCA programs are consistent with the typical terms we have with our suppliers who do not participate. These financing arrangements are included in accounts payable within the consolidated balance sheets and the associated payments are included in operating activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows.
