The carrying amount of the company’s short-term borrowings in various countries, revolving credit facility, 6.00% notes due April 2020, 5.125% notes due March 2021, North American asset securitization program, commercial paper, and other obligations approximate their fair value.

The company has a $2,000,000 revolving credit facility maturing in December 2023. This facility may be used by the company for general corporate purposes including working capital in the ordinary course of business, letters of credit, repayment, prepayment or purchase of long-term indebtedness, acquisitions, and as support for the company’s commercial paper program, as applicable. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate plus a spread (1.18% at March 28, 2020), which is based on the company’s credit ratings, or an effective interest rate of 1.27% at March 28, 2020. The facility fee, which is based on the company’s credit ratings, was .20% of the total borrowing capacity at March 28, 2020. The company had $122,500 and $10,000 in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at March 28, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The company has a North American asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. The company may borrow up to $1,200,000 under the program, which matures in June 2021. The program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation (“AFC”), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The asset securitization program does not qualify for true sale treatment. Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt obligation remain on the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate plus a spread (.40% at March 28, 2020), or an effective interest rate of 1.37% at March 28, 2020. The facility fee is .40% of the total borrowing capacity.

At March 28, 2020, the company had no outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program. At December 31, 2019, the company had $400,000 in outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program, which was included in “Long-term debt” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Total collateralized accounts receivable of approximately $2,099,700 and $2,217,800, respectively, were held by AFC and were included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Any accounts receivable held by AFC would likely not be available to other creditors of the company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings before repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the asset securitization program.

Both the revolving credit facility and North American asset securitization program include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. The company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 28, 2020 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.

During April 2020, the company repaid $209,366 principal amount of its 6.00% notes due April 2020.

In the normal course of business, certain of the company’s subsidiaries have agreements to sell, without recourse, selected trade receivables to financial institutions. The company does not retain financial or legal interests in these receivables, and, accordingly they are accounted for as sales of the related receivables and the receivables are removed from the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Financing costs related to these transactions were not material and are included in “Interest and other financing expense, net” in the company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $9,965 and $14,045 for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
