The Company uses various factoring programs to sell certain receivables to financial institutions as part of managing its cash flows. At June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the amount of receivables sold by the Company was $173 million, $600 million and $221 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company reduced the use of its factoring programs compared to the most recent respective year end periods and this resulted in a higher use of working capital, and corresponding decrease to cash from operating activities, of approximately $427 million and $233 million, respectively.
