Receivables. Arconic has two separate arrangements, each with a single financial institution, to sell certain customer receivables outright without recourse on a continuous basis. All such sales are at the Company’s discretion. The first arrangement, which was executed in January 2022, relates to certain of Arconic’s U.S. operations and automatically renews each year unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of the underlying purchase agreement. The second arrangement, which was executed in July 2022, relates to certain of the Company’s European operations. Under both arrangements, Arconic serves in an administrative capacity, including collection of the receivables from the respective customers and remittance of these cash collections to the respective financial institution. Accordingly, upon the sale of customer receivables to the financial institutions, the Company removes the underlying trade receivables from its Consolidated Balance Sheet and includes the reduction as a positive amount in the (Increase) in receivables line item within Operating Activities on its Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. At no time can the outstanding balance due to the respective financial institution exceed $225 and $46 (€42.5) for the U.S. and European, respectively, arrangements. In the 2023 six-month period, Arconic sold customer receivables of $184 and remitted cash collections of $182 to the financial institutions. In the 2022 six-month period, the Company sold customer receivables of $550, collected cash from customers of $438, and remitted cash collections to the financial institution of $425 under the U.S. arrangement.
Supplier Finance Program. Arconic has an existing arrangement (capacity of $225 – reduced by $25 in the 2023 second quarter) with a financial institution to make available a finance program to the Company’s suppliers. Under this program, Arconic agrees to pay the financial institution the stated amount of confirmed invoices from its designated suppliers on the respective original maturity date of the invoices. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the program require payment in full within no more than 120 days of the invoice date. The Company or the financial institution may terminate the arrangement upon at least 30 days’ notice. Arconic does not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between the financial institution and the suppliers nor does the Company participate in the transactions between its suppliers and the financial institution. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Arconic had outstanding obligations of $132 and $124, respectively, which have been confirmed as valid to the financial institution, under this program. These outstanding obligations were reported in Accounts payable, trade on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
