Accounts Receivable Factoring

Accounts Receivable Factoring

The Company transfers certain receivables to banks without recourse as part of its credit and cash management activities. Such transfers are accounted for as sales and the related receivables are removed from the Company’s balance sheet. The Company does not maintain any beneficial interest in the receivables sold. The Company services the receivables on behalf of the banks, but otherwise maintains no significant continuing involvement with respect to the receivables. Sale proceeds that are representative of the fair value of factored receivables, less a factoring fee, are reflected in Cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while sale proceeds in excess of the fair value of factored receivables are reflected in Cash flows from financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company may be required to maintain a portion of sales proceeds as deposits in a restricted cash account that is released to the Company as it satisfies its obligations as servicer of sold receivables, which totaled $0 million and $1 million as of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, the Company received cash proceeds of $346 million and $373 million, respectively, from the sales of accounts receivables under its factoring arrangements. As of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were a total of $43 million and $56 million, respectively, of uncollected receivables that had been sold and removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As servicer of sold receivables, the Company had $121 million and $112 million of obligations that were not yet remitted to banks as of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These obligations are included within Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in such obligations reflected within Cash flows from financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
