Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Debt [Text Block] | Debt At March 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013, short-term borrowings of $16,452 and $23,878, were primarily utilized to support the working capital requirements of certain international operations. The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings at March 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were 4.3% and 4.5%, respectively. Long-term debt consists of the following:
The 7.50% senior debentures are not redeemable prior to their maturity. The 3.375% notes, 6.875% senior debentures, 3.00% notes, 6.00% notes, 5.125% notes, and 4.50% notes may be called at the option of the company subject to "make whole" clauses. The estimated fair market value, using quoted market prices, is as follows:
The carrying amount of the company's short-term borrowings in various countries, revolving credit facility, asset securitization program, and other obligations approximate their fair value. The company has a $1,500,000 revolving credit facility, maturing in December 2018. This facility may be used by the company for general corporate purposes including working capital in the ordinary course of business, letters of credit, repayment, prepayment or purchase of long-term indebtedness and acquisitions, and as support for the company's commercial paper program, as applicable. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or a euro currency rate plus a spread (1.30% at March 29, 2014) based on the company's credit ratings. The facility fee is .20%. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at March 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The company has an asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. In March 2014, the company amended its asset securitization program and, among other things, increased its borrowing capacity from $775,000 to $900,000 and extended its term to mature in March 2017. The asset securitization program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation ("AFC"), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The asset securitization program does not qualify for sale treatment. Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt obligation remain on the company's consolidated balance sheets. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread (.40% at March 29, 2014), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of .59% at March 29, 2014. The facility fee is .40%. At March 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the company had $335,000 and $420,000, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program, which was included in "Long-term debt" in the company's consolidated balance sheets, and total collateralized accounts receivable of approximately $1,440,753 and $1,867,552, respectively, were held by AFC and were included in "Accounts receivable, net" in the company's consolidated balance sheets. Any accounts receivable held by AFC would likely not be available to other creditors of the company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings before repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program. Both the revolving credit facility and asset securitization program include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings, limit the company's ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase stock, and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. The company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 29, 2014 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future. During the first quarter of 2013, the company completed the sale of $300,000 principal amount of 3.00% notes due in 2018 and $300,000 principal amount of 4.50% notes due in 2023. The net proceeds of the offering of $591,156 were used to refinance the company's 6.875% senior notes due July 2013 and for general corporate purposes. During the first quarter of 2013, the company redeemed $332,107 principal amount of its 6.875% senior notes due July 2013. The related loss on the redemption for the first quarter of 2013 aggregated $4,277 ($2,627 net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and was recognized as a loss on prepayment of debt in the company's consolidated statements of operations. Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $779 and $571 for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
