Accounts Receivable Financing

4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FINANCING

The Company has a financing agreement with an unrelated third party financing company (the “Financing Agreement”) whereby the Company offers distributors and resellers direct or indirect financing on their purchases of the Company’s products and services. In return, the Company agrees to pay the financing company a fee based on a defined percentage of the transaction amount financed. In certain instances, these financing arrangements result in a transfer of the Company’s receivables, without recourse, to the financing company. If the transaction meets the applicable criteria under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860 and is accounted for as a sale of financial assets, the accounts receivable are excluded from the balance sheet upon the third party financing company’s payment remittance to the Company. In certain legal jurisdictions, the arrangement fees that involve maintenance services or products bundled with maintenance at one price do not qualify as a sale of financial assets in accordance with the authoritative guidance. Accordingly, accounts receivable related to these arrangements are accounted for as a secured borrowing in accordance with ASC 860, and the Company records a liability for any cash received, while maintaining the associated accounts receivable balance until the distributor or reseller remits payment to the third-party financing company.

In the three months ended March 31, 2016, total transactions entered into pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement were $51.7 million, of which $30.1 million were related to the transfer of the financial assets arrangement. In the three months ended March 31, 2015, total transactions entered into were $64.6 million, of which $39.2 million were related to the transfer of the financial assets arrangement. The financing of these receivables accelerated the collection of the Company’s cash and reduced its credit exposure. The amount due from the financing company as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $38.1 million and $32.7 million, respectively, of which $18.4 million and $22.1 million, respectively, was related to the accounts receivable transferred, and is included in “Trade receivables, net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fees incurred pursuant to the Financing Agreement were $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Those fees were recorded as reductions to revenues.
