Sale of Receivables Programs

The Company maintains an accounts receivables securitization arrangement through a wholly-owned special purpose entity (“SPE”). The Company previously had a second arrangement which terminated on August 30, 2021. The net cash funding from the sale of accounts receivable was neither a use of cash nor a source of cash for any quarter of 2022 or 2021.

The terminated arrangement was with financial institutions to sell certain customer receivables without recourse on a revolving basis. The Company had $22 net cash repayments ($41 in draws and $63 in repayments) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in connection with this arrangement. The total cash receipts from both customer payments on sold receivables (which were cash receipts on the underlying trade receivables that had been previously sold) and net cash repayments under the program were presented as cash receipts from sold receivables within investing activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The current accounts receivables securitization arrangement is one in which the Company, through an SPE, has a receivables purchase agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) such that the SPE may sell certain receivables to financial institutions until the earlier of August 30, 2024 or a termination event. The Receivables Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, as well as affirmative and negative covenants. Pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred receivables, and therefore accounts for these transfers as sales of receivables. This accounts receivable securitization arrangement totaled $325 at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of which $250 was drawn as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. As collateral against the sold receivables, the SPE maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which were $130 and $79 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company sold $437 and $901 of its receivables without recourse and received cash funding under this program during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, resulting in derecognition of the receivables from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Costs associated with the sales of receivables are reflected in the Company’s Statement of Consolidated Operations for the periods in which the sales occur. Cash receipts from sold receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement are presented within operating activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows.

Other Customer Receivable Sales

In the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold $117 and $223, respectively, of certain customers’ receivables in exchange for cash ($125 was outstanding from customers at June 30, 2022), the proceeds from which are presented in changes in receivables within operating activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. In the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold $98 and $164, respectively, of certain customers’ receivables in exchange for cash, the proceeds from which are presented in changes in receivables within operating activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows.
