Reserves for Credit Losses
In general, the Company’s trade receivables provide for payment terms of 30 days or less. Receivables not paid within the terms of the customer agreement are generally subject to late fees based upon the outstanding customer receivable balance. Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, the Company began to extend revolving credit to certain customers with respect to small fleet receivables. These accounts are also subject to late fees and balances that are not paid in full are subject to interest charges based on the revolving balance. The Company had approximately $2,600 in receivables with revolving credit as of September 30, 2016 and $1,100 in receivables with revolving credit as of December 31, 2015.
The portfolio of receivables consists of a large group of homogeneous smaller balance amounts that are collectively evaluated for impairment. No customer made up more than eight percent of the outstanding receivables at September 30, 2016. One customer made up eleven percent of the outstanding receivables at December 31, 2015.
Receivables are generally written off when they are 150 days past due or upon declaration of bankruptcy by the customer. The reserve for credit losses is calculated by an analytic model that also takes into account other factors, such as the actual charge-offs for the preceding reporting periods, expected charge-offs and recoveries for the subsequent reporting periods, a review of accounts receivable balances which become past due, changes in customer payment patterns, known fraudulent activity in the portfolio, as well as leading economic and market indicators.
As of September 30, 2016, approximately 93 percent of the outstanding balance of total trade accounts receivable was current and approximately 97 percent of the outstanding balance of total trade accounts receivable was less than 60 days past due. As of September 30, 2015, approximately 90 percent of the outstanding balance of total trade accounts receivable was current and approximately 98 percent of the outstanding balance was less than 60 days past due. The outstanding balance is made up of receivables from a wide range of industries.
