Accounts Receivable Factoring

From time to time, we participate in factoring arrangements to sell accounts receivable to third-party financial institutions. In the first three months of 2019, we sold accounts receivable of $84 million and recognized a loss of $0.6 million on these sales. We received cash proceeds totaling $81 million. In the first three months of 2018, we sold accounts receivable of $96 million and recognized a loss of $0.6 million. We received cash proceeds totaling $93 million. Our factoring transactions in the first three months of 2019 and 2018 were recognized as sales, and the proceeds are included as operating cash flows in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
