Sale of Receivables

Receivables Securitization Facility

On December 21, 2016, CSC established a $250 million accounts receivable securitization facility (the "Receivables Facility") with certain unaffiliated financial institutions (the "Purchasers") for the sale of commercial account receivables in the United States. Under the Receivables Facility, CSC and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Sellers") sell billed and unbilled accounts receivable to CSC Receivables, LLC ("CSC Receivables"), a wholly owned bankruptcy-remote entity. CSC Receivables in turn sells such purchased accounts receivable in their entirety to the Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. Sales of receivables by CSC Receivables occur continuously and are settled on a monthly basis. The proceeds from the sale of these receivables comprise a combination of cash and a deferred purchase price receivable ("DPP"). The DPP is realized by the Company upon the ultimate collection of the underlying receivables sold to the Purchasers. The amount available under the Receivables Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business after deducting excess concentrations. As of December 31, 2017, the total availability under the Receivables Facility was approximately $177 million. The Receivables Facility terminates on September 14, 2018, but provides for one or more optional one-year extensions, if agreed to by the Purchasers. The Company uses the proceeds from receivables sales under the Receivables Facility for general corporate purposes.

The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative services and its right to the DPP. The DPP is included in receivables at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated their book value due to their short-term nature, and as a result no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded. In exchange for the sale of accounts receivable during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Company received cash of $201 million and recorded a DPP. The DPP, which fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business, was $249 million as of December 31, 2017. Additionally, as of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a $24 million liability within accounts payable because the amount of cash proceeds received by the Company under the Receivables Facility exceeded the maximum funding limit.

The Company's risk of loss following the transfer of accounts receivable under the Receivables Facility is limited to the DPP outstanding and any short-falls in collections for specified non-credit related reasons after sale. Payment of the DPP is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable sold under the Receivables Facility.

Certain obligations of Sellers under the Receivables Facility and CSC, as initial servicer, are guaranteed by the Company under a performance guaranty, made in favor of an administrative agent on behalf of the Purchasers. However, the performance guaranty does not cover CSC Receivables’ obligations to pay yield, fees or invested amounts to the administrative agent or any of the Purchasers.

The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the DPP:

(in millions)	Three Months Ended December 31, 2017			Nine Months Ended December 31, 2017

Receivables Sales Facility

On July 14, 2017, Enterprise Services LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Enterprise"), entered into a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain financial institutions (the "Financial Institutions"). The Purchase Agreement established a federal government obligor receivables purchase facility (the “Facility”). Concurrently, the Company entered into a guaranty made in favor of the Financial Institutions, that guarantees the obligations of the sellers and servicers of receivables under the Purchase Agreement. The guaranty does not cover any credit losses under the receivables. In connection with the previously announced spin-off of the Company's USPS business, the Company entered into certain amendments to the guaranty whereby the Company can request to terminate its guaranty at the time of the separation of the USPS business. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on January 23, 2018, the Purchase Agreement was amended to increase the facility limit from $200 million to $300 million in funding based on the availability of eligible receivables and the satisfaction of certain conditions.

Under the Facility, the Company sells eligible federal government obligor receivables, including both billed and certain unbilled receivables. The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables other than collection and administrative functions for the Financial Institutions for a servicing fee. The Facility has a one-year term but may be extended. The Company uses the proceeds from receivables sales under the Facility for general corporate purposes.

The Company accounts for these receivable transfers as sales and derecognizes the sold receivables from its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated their book value due to their short-term nature. The Company estimated that its servicing fee was at fair value and therefore, no servicing asset or liability related to these services was recognized as of December 31, 2017.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Company sold $0.7 billion and $1.2 billion of billed and unbilled receivables, respectively. Collections corresponding to these receivables sales were $0.6 billion and $1.0 billion during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, there was $27 million of cash collected by the Company, but not remitted to the Financial Institutions, which represents restricted cash and is included within other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The operating cash flow effect, net of collections and fees from sales was $176 million.
