We have a Receivables Purchase Agreement (RPA) with Wells Fargo Bank N.A., under which we may sell certain U.S.-originated accounts receivable balances up to a maximum amount of $350.0 million at any given time. In return for these sales, we receive a cash payment equal to the face value of the receivables less a financing charge.
We account for these transfers as sales. We have no retained interest in the transferred receivables other than administrative responsibilities, and Wells Fargo has no recourse for any credit risk. We estimate that the implicit servicing fees for an arrangement of this size and type would be immaterial.
For the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the value of accounts receivables transferred to Wells Fargo and derecognized from our balance sheet was $682.2 million and $377.2 million, respectively. In exchange for these sales, we received cash of $678.9 million and $374.9 million for the same periods, respectively. The difference, representing a loss on sale from these transfers, is included within our selling, general, and administrative expenses. We have recorded these transactions within our operating cash flows.
