Sale of Accounts Receivable

Note B – Sale of Accounts Receivable

VF has an agreement with a financial institution to sell selected trade accounts receivable on a recurring, nonrecourse basis. Under the agreement, up to $237.5 million of accounts receivable may be sold to the financial institution and remain outstanding at any point in time. After the sale, VF does not retain any interests in the accounts receivable and removes them from the Consolidated Balance Sheets, but continues to service and collect outstanding accounts receivable on behalf of the financial institution. At September 2014, December 2013 and September 2013, accounts receivable had been reduced by $172.0 million, $136.4 million and $155.0 million, respectively, related to this program. During the first nine months of 2014, VF sold $916.3 million of accounts receivable at their stated amounts, less a funding fee charged by the financial institution. The funding fee is recorded in other income (expense), net, and totaled $1.2 million for the first nine months of 2014. Net proceeds of this program are classified in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
