The Company has a $100 million Amended and Restated Asset Securitization Agreement ("Accounts Receivable Facility") that matures on November 30, 2018. Under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Facility, the Company sells, on an ongoing basis, certain domestic trade receivables to Timken Receivables Corporation, a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, which in turn uses the trade receivables to secure borrowings, which are funded through a vehicle that issues commercial paper in the short-term market. Borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Facility are limited by certain borrowing base limitations. These limitations reduced the availability of the Accounts Receivable Facility to $85.4 million at March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, there were outstanding borrowings of $62.0 million under the Accounts Receivable Facility, which reduced the availability under this facility to $23.4 million. The cost of this facility, which is the prevailing commercial paper rate plus program fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The outstanding balance under the Accounts Receivable Facility was classified in accordance with the terms of the agreement and reflects the Company's expectations relative to the minimum borrowing base.

The lines of credit for certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries provide for short-term borrowings up to $233.6 million. Most of these lines of credit are uncommitted. At March 31, 2017, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had borrowings outstanding of $25.2 million and bank guarantees of $1.7 million, which reduced the availability under these facilities to $206.7 million.
