Supplier Finance Program
The Company facilitates a supply chain financing (“SCF”) program in the ordinary course of business in order to extend payment terms with vendors. Under the terms of this program, a vendor can voluntarily enter into an agreement with a participating financial intermediary to sell its receivables due from the Company. The vendor receives payment from the financial intermediary, and the Company pays the financial intermediary on the terms originally negotiated with the vendor, which generally range from 90 to 120 days. The vendor negotiates the terms of the agreements directly with the financial intermediary and the Company is not a party to that agreement. The financial intermediary may allow the participating vendor to utilize the Company’s creditworthiness in establishing credit spreads and associated costs, which may provide the vendor with more favorable terms than they would be able to secure on their own. The Company does not provide guarantees related to the SCF program. At December 31, 2024, outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under the SCF program were $291 million ($285 million at December 31, 2023), included in “Accounts payable – Trade” in the consolidated balance sheets.
The following table summarizes the activity of the SCF program for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
| Supplier Finance Program Activity | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| In millions | ||
| Confirmed obligations outstanding at Jan 1 | $285 | $267 |
| Invoices confirmed to financial intermediary | 1,313 | 1,308 |
| Confirmed invoices paid to financial intermediary | (1,307) | (1,290) |
