Receivables [Abstract] |
Receivables | Receivables Arconic has an arrangement with three financial institutions to sell certain customer receivables without recourse on a revolving basis. The sale of such receivables is completed using a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which is a consolidated subsidiary of Arconic. This arrangement provides for minimum funding of $200 up to a maximum of $400 for receivables sold. Arconic maintains a beneficial interest, or a right to collect cash, on the sold receivables that have not been funded (deferred purchase program). On March 30, 2012, Arconic initially sold $304 of customer receivables in exchange for $50 cash and $254 of deferred purchase program under the arrangement. Arconic has received additional net cash funding of $300 ($2,508 in draws and $2,208 in repayments) since the program’s inception, including net cash draws totaling $0 ($150 in draws and $150 in repayments) for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the deferred purchase program receivable was $320 and $187, respectively, which was included in Other receivables on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The deferred purchase program receivable is reduced as collections of the underlying receivables occur; however, as this is a revolving program, the sale of new receivables will result in an increase in the deferred purchase program receivable. The gross amount of receivables sold and total cash collected under this program since its inception was $36,938 and $36,268, respectively. Arconic services the customer receivables for the financial institutions at market rates; therefore, no servicing asset or liability was recorded. Cash receipts from customer payments on sold receivables (which are cash receipts on the underlying trade receivables that have already been previously sold in this program) as well as cash receipts and cash disbursements from draws and repayments under the program are presented as cash receipts from sold receivables within investing activities in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows.
