14.4 Factoring arrangements

The Group factors trade receivables under committed factoring agreements in the United States, France, Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic:

•In the United States, Constellium Muscle Shoals LLC is party to a factoring agreement with a maximum capacity of $300 million and a maturity date in September 2021 and Constellium Automotive USA LLC is party to a factoring agreement with a maximum capacity of $25 million and a maturity date in December 2021.

•The factoring agreement in place for our entities in France has a maximum capacity of €255 million (including a €20 million recourse line) and a maturity date in December 2023.

•Factoring agreements in place for our entities in Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic have a combined maximum capacity of €150 million and maturity dates in December 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.

These factoring agreements 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. In addition, 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 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

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, as the Group retains substantially all the associated risks and rewards. At December 31, 2020, the total carrying amount of the original assets factored was €514 million of which €398 million have been derecognized. At December 31, 2019, the total carrying amount of the original assets factored was €574 million of which €463 million have been derecognized.

Amounts due to the factors in respect to trade receivables sold were nil at December 31, 2020 and 2019.
