Note 13. Financing Receivables

 

Nestor Cables factors certain of its accounts receivable, with recourse provisions that are accounted for as a secured borrowing. Nestor Cables has a total factoring liability of $5,931,000 as of March 31, 2024. Nestor receives cash for 80% of the receivable balance from the bank initially and the remaining 20% when the invoice is paid up to a limit of €12.5 million ($13.5 million as of March 31, 2024). Due to the conditions mentioned above, these transactions do not qualify as a sale and are thus accounted for as secured borrowing. The contractual interest rate on Nestor’s factoring arrangements is the 3-month Euribor rate plus a range of 0.75% to 1.3%. The average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 5.34%. The average interest rate for the six months ended March 31, 2024, was 6.53%. These agreements are indefinite with a termination notice period ranging from zero to one month.
