| Accounts Receivable Arrangements | ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARRANGEMENTS: The Company primarily finances its United States operations with an accounts receivable securitization program (the “U.S. Arrangement”). Until September 2013, the Company’s subsidiary, which is the borrower under the U.S. Arrangement, could borrow up to a maximum of $400,000 in U.S. trade accounts receivable (“U.S. Receivables”). In September 2013, the Company amended the U.S Arrangement to increase the commitment of the lenders to $500,000. In addition, the amendment also included an accordion feature to allow requests for an increase in the lenders' commitment by an additional $100,000 to a maximum commitment of $600,000. The maturity date of the U.S. Arrangement is October 18, 2015. The effective borrowing cost under the U.S. Arrangement is a blended rate that includes prevailing dealer commercial paper rates and the daily London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus a program fee of 0.425% per annum based on the used portion of the commitment, and a facility fee of 0.425% per annum payable on the aggregate commitment of the lenders. As of May 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, there were $438,400 and $144,000, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the U.S. Arrangement. Under the terms of the U.S. Arrangement, the Company sells, on a revolving basis, its U.S. Receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in and to the U.S. Receivables acquired by the Company's subsidiary as security. Any borrowings under the U.S. Arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As is customary in trade accounts receivable securitization arrangements, a credit rating agency's downgrade of the third party issuer of commercial paper or of a back-up liquidity provider (which provides a source of funding if the commercial paper market cannot be accessed) could result in an increase in the Company's cost of borrowing or loss of the Company's financing capacity under these programs if the commercial paper issuer or liquidity back-up provider is not replaced, or if the lender whose commercial paper issuer or liquidity back-up provider is not replaced does not elect to offer the Company an alternative rate. Loss of such financing capacity could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company also has other financing agreements in North America with various financial institutions (“Flooring Companies”) to allow certain customers of the Company to finance their purchases directly with the Flooring Companies. Under these agreements, the Flooring Companies pay to the Company the selling price of products sold to various customers, less a discount, within approximately 15 to 30 days from the date of sale. The Company is contingently liable to repurchase inventory sold under flooring agreements in the event of any default by its customers under the agreement and such inventory being repossessed by the Flooring Companies. Please see Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies for further information. The following table summarizes the net sales financed through the flooring agreements and the flooring fees incurred:
As of May 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, accounts receivable subject to flooring agreements were $80,471 and $89,589, respectively. SYNNEX Infotec, the Company's Japan technology solutions subsidiary, has arrangements with various banks and financial institutions for the sale and financing of approved accounts receivable and notes receivable. The amounts outstanding under these arrangements that were sold, but not collected as of May 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013 were $14,592 and $13,862, respectively. |
