SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS AND OTHER CONCENTRATIONS [Abstract] |
SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS AND OTHER CONCENTRATIONS | (4)SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS AND OTHER CONCENTRATIONS The Company had no clients that contributed in excess of 10% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018. The Company does have clients with aggregate revenue exceeding $100 million annually and the loss of one or more of these clients could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, the Company has multiple contracts with these larger clients, where each individual contract is for an amount below the $100 million aggregate. To limit the Company’s credit risk with its clients, management performs periodic credit evaluations, maintains allowances for uncollectible accounts and may require pre-payment for services from certain clients. Based on currently available information, management does not believe significant credit risk existed as of June 30, 2019. On October 15, 2018, Sears Holding Corporation (“Sears”) announced that it had filed a petition for bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. As of December 31, 2018, TTEC had approximately $2.7 million in pre-petition accounts receivables exposure related to Sears, and during the fourth quarter of 2018 a $2.7 million allowance for uncollectible accounts was recorded and included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of June 30, 2019, the pre-petition accounts receivable balance is $2.5 million. During the first quarter of 2019, Sears sold a substantial part of its business, including the business that TTEC serves, to Transform SR Holdings Management LLC (“new Sears”). TTEC now provides services to new Sears pursuant to the terms of a new contract that parties signed in April 2019. Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement On March 5, 2019, the Company entered into an Uncommitted Receivables Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Bank of the West (“Bank”), whereby from time-to-time the Company may elect to sell, on a revolving basis, U.S. accounts receivables of certain clients at a discount to the Bank for cash on a limited recourse basis. The maximum amount of receivables that the Company may sell to the Bank at any given time shall not exceed $75 million. The sales of accounts receivable in accordance with the Agreement are reflected as a reduction of Accounts Receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance sheets. The Company has retained no interest in the sold receivables but retains all collection responsibilities on behalf of the Bank. The discount on the accounts receivable sold will be recorded within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The cash proceeds from this agreement are included in the change in accounts receivable within the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had factored $36.9 million of accounts receivable; under the Agreement discounts on these receivables were not material during the quarter. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had collected $11.4 million of cash from customers which has not been remitted to the Bank and thus is included in Accrued Expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not recorded any servicing assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2019 as the fair value of the servicing arrangement as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements.
