Allowance for Credit Losses (Trade Receivables)

NOTE 2 - ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (TRADE RECEIVABLES)

Trade receivables are reported on the consolidated balance sheet at the amount due, adjusted for any allowance for credit losses. The Corporation provides an allowance for credit losses to reduce trade receivables to their estimated net realizable value equal to the amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is estimated based on historical collection experience, current regional economic and market conditions, aging of accounts receivable, current creditworthiness of customers, and forward-looking information. The use of forward-looking information is based on certain macroeconomic and microeconomic indicators including, but not limited to, regional business environment risk, political risk, and commercial and financing risks.

The Corporation reviews its allowance for credit losses to ensure its reserves for credit losses reflect regional and end-customer industry risk trends as well as current and future global operating conditions.

The allowance for credit losses on trade receivables was $975 as of December 31, 2023. The comparable allowance for doubtful accounts was $763 as of December 31, 2022.
