The Company uses various factoring programs to sell certain trade receivables to financial institutions as part of managing its cash flows. Sales of trade receivables are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. Trade receivables sold under the factoring programs are transferred without recourse to the Company and accounted for as true sales and, therefore, are excluded from Trade receivables, net in the

Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the total amount of trade receivables sold by the Company was $531 million, $535 million and $542 million, respectively. These amounts included $159 million, $155 million and $178 million at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for trade receivable amounts factored under supply-chain financing programs linked to commercial arrangements with key customers. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded expenses related to these factoring programs of approximately $19 million, $24 million and $23 million, respectively. The Company is the master servicer for the factoring programs that are not associated with key customers and is responsible for administering and collecting receivables.

In accordance with ASU 2022-04, “Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” the Company has agreements with third-party administrators that allow participating vendors to track the Company’s payments and, if voluntarily elected by the vendor, to sell payment obligations from the Company to financial institutions as part of a Supply Chain Financing (“SCF”) Program.  The Company's payment terms to the financial institutions, including the timing and amount of payments, are based on the original supplier invoices. When participating vendors elect to sell one or more of the Company’s payment obligations, the Company’s rights and obligations to settle the payables on their contractual due date are not impacted. The Company has no economic or commercial interest in a vendor’s decision to enter into these agreements, and the financial institutions do not provide the Company with incentives, such as rebates or profit sharing under the SCF Program. The Company agrees on commercial terms with vendors for the goods and services procured, which are consistent with payment terms observed at other peer companies in the industry, and the terms are not impacted by the SCF Program. Such obligations are classified as accounts payable in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not provide asset pledges, or other forms of guarantees, as security for the committed payment to the financial institutions. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $69 million and $82 million, respectively, of outstanding payment obligations to the financial institutions as part of the SCF Program.
