(1)In December 2018, May 2019 and March 2021, certain subsidiaries entered into factoring arrangements with two separate third-party factor agencies related to our accounts receivable from customers in Europe and the United States. As a result of these factoring arrangements, title of certain accounts receivable balances was transferred to third-party vendors, and both arrangements were accounted for as a sale of financial assets given effective control over these financial assets has been surrendered. As a result, these financial assets have been excluded from our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the factoring arrangements, we sold
accounts receivable invoices amounting to $336.7 million and $249.0 million in fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, total uncollected accounts receivable from end customers under both arrangements were $36.7 million and $34.1 million, respectively.
