VF has an agreement with a financial institution to sell selected trade accounts receivable on a recurring, nonrecourse basis. Under the agreement, up to $237.5 million of VF’s accounts receivable may be sold to the financial institution and remain outstanding at any point in time. VF removes the accounts receivable from the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the time of sale.

During 2014 and 2013, VF sold total accounts receivable of $1,247.4 million and $1,259.7 million, respectively. As of December 2014 and 2013, $130.3 million and $136.4 million, respectively, of the sold accounts receivable had been removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets but remained outstanding with the financial institution. The funding fee charged by the financial institution is included in other income (expense), net, and was $1.7 million in 2014, $1.8 million in 2013 and $2.0 million in 2012.
