(4)SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS AND OTHER CONCENTRATIONS

The Company had one client that contributed in excess of 10% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024; this client operates in the automotive industry and is included in the TTEC Engage segment. This client contributed 11.1% and 10.1% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, the Company has other clients with aggregate revenue exceeding $100 million annually and the loss of one or more of these clients could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, the Company’s business arrangements with these larger clients are structured as multiple contracts with different statements of work that are specific to a different line of business or service; these contracts have different durations and renewal dates and could have a revenue opportunity above the $100 million aggregate. In the first quarter of 2024, one of our larger financial services clients notified us that it is exiting one of the lines of business that we support.

To limit the Company’s credit risk with its clients, management performs periodic credit evaluations, maintains allowances for credit losses and may require pre-payment for services from certain clients whose financial stability or payment practices raise concern. Based on currently available information, management does not believe significant credit risk existed as of September 30, 2024 beyond what was already recognized.

Activity in the Company’s Allowance for credit losses consists of the following (in thousands):

Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreement

In the third quarter of 2024, the Company terminated its Uncommitted Receivables Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with BMO Bank, N.A. (“Bank”, or “BMO”), under the terms of which the Company had the right to sell, on a revolving basis, U.S. accounts receivables of certain clients at a discount to the Bank for cash on a limited recourse basis. The sales of accounts receivable in accordance with the prior Agreement are reflected as a reduction of Accounts Receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has retained no interest in the sold receivables but retains all collection responsibilities on behalf of the Bank. The discount on the accounts receivable sold is recorded within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The cash proceeds from the prior Agreement are included in the change in accounts receivable within the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

The balances related to the Agreement are as follows (in thousands):

	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Total accounts receivable factored	$	—	$	99,994
Total amounts collected from clients not yet remitted to Bank	$	—	$	1,158

The unremitted cash is restricted cash and is included within Prepaid and other current assets with the corresponding liability included in Accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not recorded any servicing assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2024 as the fair value of the servicing arrangement as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements.
