The company monitors the current credit condition of its customers in estimating the expected credit losses and has not experienced significant changes in customers’ payment trends or significant deterioration in customers’ credit risk as of October 1, 2022. The company has an EMEA asset securitization program under which it continuously sells its interest in designated pools of trade accounts receivables of certain of its subsidiaries in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa ("EMEA"), at a discount, to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells certain of the receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions and conduits administered by such unaffiliated financial institutions ("unaffiliated financial institutions") on a monthly basis. In September 2022, the company amended its EMEA asset securitization program to increase its borrowing capacity from €400 million to €600 million and extend its maturity to December 2025, among other things. The program is conducted through Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V., an entity structured to be bankruptcy remote. The company is deemed the primary beneficiary of Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. as the company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from the transfer of the trade accounts receivables into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. is included in the company’s consolidated financial statements. Sales of accounts receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under the EMEA asset securitization program:
|  | Quarter Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
(thousands) |  | October 1, 2022 |  | October 2, 2021 |  | October 1, 2022 |  | October 2, 2021
EMEA asset securitization, sales of accounts receivables |  | $ | 834,456 |  |  | $ | 546,125 |  |  | $ | 1,943,723 |  |  | $ | 1,608,388 |
Receivables sold to unaffiliated financial institutions under the program are excluded from “Accounts receivable, net” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets, and cash receipts are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The purchase price is paid in cash when the receivables are sold. Certain unsold receivables held by Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. are pledged as collateral to unaffiliated financial institutions. These unsold receivables are included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. The company continues servicing the receivables which were sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under the program. The company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the company’s consolidated balance sheets as the company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities. Other amounts related to the EMEA asset securitization program:
(thousands) |  | October 1, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
Receivables sold to unaffiliated financial institutions that were uncollected |  | $ | 586,132 |  |  | $ | 453,292 |
Collateralized accounts receivable held by Arrow EMEA funding Corp B.V. |  | 916,516 |  |  | 745,965 |
Any accounts receivables held by Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. would likely not be available to other creditors of the company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings relating to the company if there are outstanding balances under the EMEA asset securitization program. The assets of Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. cannot be used by the company for general corporate purposes. Additionally, the financial obligations of Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. to the unaffiliated financial institutions under the program are limited to the assets it owns and there is no recourse to Arrow Electronics, Inc. for receivables that are uncollectible as a result of the insolvency of Arrow EMEA Funding Corp B.V. or its inability to pay the account debtors. The EMEA asset securitization program includes 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.
