Receivables Facility The Company has an accounts receivable sales facility (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified as of September 30, 2021, the “Receivables Facility”) with certain unaffiliated financial institutions (the “Purchasers”) for the sale of commercial accounts receivable in the United States. The Receivables Facility has a facility limit of $400 million as of September 30, 2021. Under the Receivables Facility, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Sellers”) sell accounts receivable to DXC Receivables LLC (“Receivables SPV”), a wholly owned bankruptcy-remote entity, in a true sale. Receivables SPV subsequently sells certain of the receivables in their entirety to the Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. The financial obligations of Receivables SPV to the Purchasers under the Receivables Facility are limited to the assets it owns with non-recourse to the Company. Sales of receivables by Receivables SPV occur continuously and are settled monthly. The amount available under the Receivables Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business after deducting excess concentrations. As of September 30, 2021, the total availability under the Receivables Facility was $400 million, and the amount sold to the Purchasers was $400 million, which was derecognized from the Company’s balance sheet. The Receivables Facility is scheduled to terminate on July 29, 2022, but provides for one or more optional one-year extensions, if agreed to by the Purchasers. The Company uses the proceeds from Receivables SPV’s sale of receivables under the Receivables Facility for general corporate purposes. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to the short-term nature, and as a result, no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded. While the Company guarantees certain non-financial performance obligations of the Sellers, the Purchasers bear customer credit risk associated with the receivables sold under the Receivables Facility and have recourse in the event of credit-related customer non-payment solely to the assets of the Receivables SPV. Milano Receivables Facility On October 1, 2020, in connection with the consummation of the sale of the HHS Business, and at the direction of the purchaser of the HHS Business, the Milano Facility was terminated. For more information, refer to Note 4 – “Divestitures.” German Receivables Facility On October 1, 2019, the Company executed an accounts receivable securitization facility (the “DE Receivables Facility”) with certain unaffiliated financial institutions (the “DE Purchasers”) for the sale of commercial accounts receivable in Germany. On June 30, 2021, the Company terminated the agreement governing the DE Receivables Facility. In connection with the termination of the DE Receivables Facility, the Company repaid all outstanding obligations and fees thereunder. Under the DE Receivables Facility, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries organized in Germany (the “DE Sellers”) sold accounts receivable to DXC ARFacility Designated Activity Company (“DE Receivables SPV”), a trust-owned bankruptcy-remote entity, in a true sale. DE Receivables SPV subsequently sold certain of the receivables in their entirety to the DE Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. Sales of receivables by DE Receivables SPV occurred continuously and were settled monthly. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, DE Receivables SPV amended the DE Receivables Facility. Under the terms of the DE Receivables Facility, there was no longer any deferred purchase price (“DPP”) for receivables as the entire purchase price is paid in cash when the receivables are sold to the DE Purchasers. Prior to the Amendment, DPPs were realized by DE Receivables SPV upon the ultimate collection of the underlying receivables sold to the DE Purchasers. Cash receipts on the DPPs were classified as cash flows from investing activities. The DPP balance was $102 million before the Amendment was executed. Upon execution of the Amendment, the Purchasers extinguished the DPP balance and returned title to the applicable underlying receivables to DE Receivables SPV. The DPP extinguishment was classified as a non-cash investing activity. See Note 19 – “Cash Flows” for additional information. The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the DPP:
