The company has entered into several regional committed and uncommitted accounts receivable factoring programs with various financial institutions for certain of its receivables. The programs are accounted for as true sales of the receivables, without recourse to Ball, and had combined limits of approximately $2 billion and $1.7 billion at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. A total of $638 million and $308 million were available for sale under these programs as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
