Factoring arrangements
The Group has entered into several accounts receivable factoring programs with various financial institutions for certain receivables of the Group.
The proceeds from the sale of certain of these receivables comprise a combination of cash and a deferred purchase price receivable. The deferred purchase price receivable is ultimately realized by the Group following the collection by the financial institutions of the underlying receivables sold. The beginning deferred purchase price balance for six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $2 million and $8 million, respectively. During each of the aforementioned periods, there were non-cash additions to the deferred purchase price receivable of $0 million and $41 million (these additions are excluded from the Interim Statement of Cash Flow as they are non-cash investing transactions) and cash collections of $2 million and $40 million, respectively. This activity resulted in an ending deferred purchase price receivable balance of $0 million and $9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, recorded in Fair value of derivatives instruments and other financial assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Group has recorded $11 million and $10 million of expense related to its factoring programs in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and has presented these amounts in Other gains and losses - net in its Interim Consolidated Income Statement.
