11.4 Factoring arrangements
The Group factors trade receivables in France through factoring agreement with a third party for a maximum capacity of €255 million. This agreement matures on December 31, 2023.
The Group factors trade receivables in Germany, Switzerland and Czech Republic through factoring agreements with a third party for a maximum capacity of €150 million. These agreements mature on December 31, 2023. In addition, the Group sells receivables from one of its German customers under an uncommitted factoring facility whereby receivables sold are confirmed by the customer. In addition, Constellium Valais is party to an uncommitted factoring arrangement which provides for the sale of specific customer receivables.
Constellium Automotive USA LLC is party to a factoring agreement which provides for the sale of specific account receivables up to a maximum capacity of $25 million. This agreement matures on December 10, 2020.
Muscle Shoals is party to a factoring agreement that provides for the sale of specific trade receivables up to a maximum capacity of $300 million. This agreement matures on September 30, 2021.
Under the Group’s factoring agreements, most of the trade receivables are sold without recourse. Where the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the receivables, the receivables are derecognized. Some remaining receivables do not qualify for derecognition under IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, as the Group retains substantially all the associated risks and rewards.
Under the agreements, at June 30, 2020, the total carrying amount of the original assets factored is €506 million (December 31, 2019: €574 million) of which:
€390 million (December 31, 2019: €463 million) have been derecognized from the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as the Group transferred substantially all of the associated risks and rewards to the factor;
€116 million (December 31, 2019: €111 million) were recognized on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
There was a €7 million debt due to the factors relating to trade account receivables sold at June 30, 2020, and no debt at December 31, 2019.
Covenants
The factoring arrangements contain certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including some relating to the administration and collection of the assigned receivables, the terms of the invoices and the exchange of information, but do not contain maintenance financial covenants.
The commitment of the factor to buy receivables under the Muscle Shoals factoring agreement is subject to certain credit ratings being maintained.
The Group was in compliance with all applicable covenants at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
