The carrying amount of the company’s short-term borrowings in various countries, revolving credit facility, asset securitization program, commercial paper, and other obligations approximate their fair value.

The company has a $2,000,000 revolving credit facility maturing in December 2023. 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 Eurocurrency rate plus a spread (1.18% at June 29, 2019), which is based on the company’s credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 3.50% at June 29, 2019. The facility fee, which is based on the company’s credit ratings, was .20% of the total borrowing capacity at June 29, 2019. The company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at June 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The company has an asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. The company may borrow up to $1,200,000 under the asset securitization program, which matures in June 2021. 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 plus a spread (.40% at June 29, 2019), or an effective interest rate of 2.90% at June 29, 2019. The facility fee is .40% of the total borrowing capacity.

At June 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the company had $930,000 and $810,000, 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 $2,413,243 and $2,754,400, 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 June 29, 2019 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.  

During 2018, the company redeemed $300,000 principal amount of its 3.00% notes due March 2018.

In the normal course of business, certain of the company’s subsidiaries have agreements to sell, without recourse, selected trade receivables to financial institutions. The company does not retain financial or legal interests in these receivables, and, accordingly they are accounted for as sales of the related receivables and the receivables are removed from the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Financing costs related to these transactions were not material and are included in Interest and other financing expense, net” in the company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $14,492 and $28,537 for the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively. Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $11,303 and $20,557 for the second quarter and first six months of 2018, respectively.
