Receivables [Abstract] |
Accounts Receivable | 2. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses When we extend credit on an unsecured basis, our exposure to credit losses depends on the financial condition of our customers and other macroeconomic factors beyond our control, such as global economic conditions or adverse impacts in the industries we serve, changes in oil prices and political instability. We actively monitor and manage our credit exposure and work to respond to both changes in our customers' financial conditions or macroeconomic events. Based on the ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, we adjust credit limits based upon payment history and our customers' current creditworthiness. However, because we extend credit on an unsecured basis to most of our customers, there is a possibility that any accounts receivable not collected may ultimately need to be written off. We had accounts receivable of $2.4 billion and $1.2 billion and an allowance for expected credit losses, primarily related to accounts receivable, of $29.8 million and $57.3 million, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Changes to the expected credit loss provision during the year ended December 31, 2021 include global economic outlook considerations as a result of the Company's assessment of reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, including the expected overall impact of the ongoing pandemic and global recovery, primarily in the aviation segment. Write-offs of uncollectible receivables during the year ended December 31, 2021 resulted from negative impacts of the pandemic combined with pre-existing financial difficulties experienced by certain customers. Based on an aging analysis as of December 31, 2021, 90% of our accounts receivable were outstanding less than 60 days. The following table sets forth activities in our allowance for expected credit losses (in millions):
| 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
Balance as of January 1, (1) | $ | 57.3 |  |  | $ | 46.6 |  |  | $ | 39.4 |
Charges to allowance for credit losses | 6.3 |  |  | 63.7 |  |  | 25.9 |
Write-off of uncollectible receivables | (35.3) |  |  | (53.7) |  |  | (32.2) |
Recoveries of credit losses | 1.4 |  |  | 1.0 |  |  | 2.4 |
Translation adjustments | 0.1 |  |  | (0.3) |  |  | — |
Balance as of December 31, | $ | 29.8 |  |  | $ | 57.3 |  |  | $ | 35.5 |
(1)For 2020, the balance as of the beginning of the period includes the $11.1 million cumulative transition adjustment related to the implementation of ASU 2016-13. Receivable sale programs We have receivable purchase agreements ("RPAs") that allow for the sale of our qualifying accounts receivable in exchange for cash consideration equal to the total balance, less a discount margin, depending on the outstanding accounts receivable at any given time. During 2020 and 2021, we amended our RPAs to, among other things, extend the renewal option term of the RPA through 2024 and increase the aggregate purchase limit as well as the individual customer limits. Accounts receivable sold under the RPAs are accounted for as sales and excluded from Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fees paid under the RPAs are recorded within Interest expense and other financing costs, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, we sold receivables under the RPAs with an aggregate face value of $9.2 billion, $4.3 billion, and $8.2 billion, respectively, and paid fees of $20.2 million, $11.8 million, and $25.9 million, respectively.
