The carrying amount of the company’s other short-term borrowings, revolving credit facility, 4.50% notes due in 2023, North American asset securitization program, commercial paper, and other obligations approximate their fair value.

The company has a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility maturing in September 2026. The 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 (1.08% at October 1, 2022), which is based on the company’s credit ratings, or a weighted-average effective interest rate of 3.23% at October 1, 2022. The facility fee, which is based on the company’s credit ratings, was 0.175% of the total borrowing capacity at October 1, 2022. The company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The company has a North American asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its subsidiaries. In September 2022, the company amended its asset securitization program to increase its borrowing capacity from $1.25 billion to $1.5 billion and extend its maturity to September 2025, among other things. The program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation (“AFC”), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The North American asset securitization program does not qualify for 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 (0.40% at October 1, 2022) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% or an effective interest rate of 3.54% at October 1, 2022. The facility fee is 0.40% of the total borrowing capacity.

The company had $1.2 billion in outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program at October 1, 2022, which was included in “Long-term debt” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. There were no outstanding borrowings under the North American asset securitization program at December 31, 2021. Total collateralized accounts receivable of approximately $2.8 billion and $2.7 billion were held by AFC and were included in “Accounts receivable, net” in
the company’s consolidated balance sheets at October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. 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 of the company before repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the North American 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. As of October 1, 2022, the company was in compliance with all such financial covenants.

During February 2022, the company repaid $350.0 million principal amount of its 3.50% notes due April 2022.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the company completed the sale of $500.0 million principal amount of 2.95% notes due in February 2032. The net proceeds of the offering of $495.1 million were used to repay the $350.0 million principal amount of its 3.50% notes due April 2022 and for general corporate purposes.

During March 2021, the company repaid $130.9 million principal amount of its 5.125% notes due March 2021.

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.

Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest and dividend income of $8.3 million and $18.8 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, and $4.0 million and $11.9 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively.
