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 $1,800,000 revolving credit facility maturing in December 2021. 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, 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 (1.18% at April 1, 2017), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 2.10% at April 1, 2017. The facility fee, which is based on the company's credit ratings, was .20% at April 1, 2017.  The company has $42,500 in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at April 1, 2017. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2016.

The company has a commercial paper program and the maximum aggregate balance of commercial paper outstanding may not exceed the borrowing capacity of $1,200,000. The company had $85,239 in outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program at April 1, 2017 with a weighted average interest rate of 1.40%. The company had no outstanding borrowings under this program at December 31, 2016.

The company has an asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. The company may borrow up to $910,000 under the asset securitization program, which matures in September 2019. 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 true 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 April 1, 2017), which is based on the company's credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 1.45% at April 1, 2017. The facility fee is .40%.

At April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the company had $480,000 and $460,000, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program, which was included in "Long-term debt" in the company's consolidated balance sheets. Total collateralized accounts receivable of approximately $1,681,144 and $2,045,464, 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 and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. The company was in compliance with all covenants as of April 1, 2017 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.  

The company has a $100,000 uncommitted line of credit. There were no outstanding borrowings under the uncommitted line of credit at April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $7,926 and $4,667for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.
