NOTE 15. DEBT

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our long-term debt included borrowings outstanding under our $1,000.0 million variable rate senior credit facility, which is composed of a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $150.0 million sublimit for letters of credit) and a $500.0 million Term Loan A. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility were $185.0 million and $115.0 million, respectively. Our Term Loan A was fully drawn as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. We also have a $25.0 million letter of credit facility, also known as our bi-lateral facility.

 

During the third quarter of 2020, we repaid $30.0 million under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility with the Bank of Nova Scotia (the “funding entity”) which matured in September 2020. Interest on borrowings under this amended facility was calculated at a 90-day commercial paper rate. Under this facility, we sold accounts receivables to Armstrong Receivables Company, LLC (“ARC”), a Delaware entity that is consolidated in these financial statements.  ARC is a 100% wholly owned single member LLC special purpose entity created specifically for this transaction; therefore, any receivables sold to ARC were not available to the general creditors of AWI. ARC used this facility to borrow cash or issue letters of credit. When ARC borrowed cash under this facility, ARC sold an undivided percentage ownership interest in the purchased accounts receivables to the funding entity. We had the unilateral right to repurchase the funding entity’s purchased interest in the accounts receivables and, as a result, borrowings under this facility were reported as debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Borrowings under this facility were obligations of ARC and not AWI.  ARC contracted with and paid a servicing fee to AWI to manage, collect and service the purchased accounts receivables.  All new receivables under the program were continuously purchased by ARC with the proceeds from collections of receivables previously purchased. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 2019.

 

We utilize lines of credit and other commercial commitments in order to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet operating requirements.  Letters of credit are currently arranged through our revolving credit facility and our bi-lateral facility. Letters of credit may be issued to third party suppliers, insurance and financial institutions and typically can only be drawn upon in the event of AWI’s failure to pay its obligations to the beneficiary. The following table presents details related to our letters of credit facilities:
