Receivables Securitization Program

Receivables Securitization Program

We are party to certain receivables purchase agreements (the “Receivables Purchase Agreements”) with MUFG Bank, Ltd. ("MUFG") (f.k.a. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.), under which MUFG acts as an agent to facilitate the sale of certain Patterson receivables (the “Receivables”) to certain unaffiliated financial institutions (the “Purchasers”). The sale of these receivables is accounted for as a sale of assets under the provisions of ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. We utilize PDC Funding III and PDC Funding IV to facilitate the sale to fulfill requirements within the agreement. We use a daily unit of account for these Receivables.

The proceeds from the sale of these Receivables comprise a combination of cash and a deferred purchase price (“DPP”) receivable. The DPP receivable is ultimately realized by Patterson following the collection of the underlying Receivables sold to the Purchasers. The amount available under the Receivables Purchase Agreements fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible Receivables generated during the normal course of business, with maximum availability of $200,000 as of April 27, 2024, of which $200,000 was utilized.

We have no retained interests in the transferred Receivables, other than our right to the DPP receivable and collection and administrative service fees. We consider the fees received adequate compensation for services rendered, and accordingly have recorded no servicing asset or liability. As of April 27, 2024 and April 29, 2023, the fair value of outstanding trade receivables transferred to the Purchasers under the facility and derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $400,626 and $429,853, respectively. Sales of trade receivables under this facility were $3,585,194, $3,718,167, and $3,643,700, and cash collections from customers on receivables sold were $3,614,901, $3,684,412 and $3,632,145 during the fiscal years ended 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The DPP receivable is recorded at fair value within the Consolidated Balance Sheets within prepaid expenses and other current assets. The difference between the carrying amount of the Receivables and the sum of the cash and fair value of the DPP receivable received at time of transfer is recognized as a gain or loss on sale of the related Receivables inclusive of bank fees and allowance for credit losses. In operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income, we recorded losses of $13,850, $11,403 and $3,247 during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the Receivables.
