Receivables | (4) Receivables Credit Quality The Company monitors the credit quality of Receivables based on delinquency status. Past due balances of Receivables still accruing finance income represent the total balance held (principal plus accrued interest) with any payment amounts 30 days or more past the contractual payment due date. Non-performing Receivables represent receivables for which the Company has ceased accruing finance income. Generally, when Customer Receivables are 90 days delinquent, accrual of finance income and lease revenue is suspended, and accrued finance income and lease revenue previously recognized is reversed. Generally, when a wholesale receivable becomes 60 days delinquent, the Company determines whether the accrual of finance income on interest-bearing wholesale receivables should be suspended and whether accrued finance income previously recognized should be reversed. Finance income and lease revenue for non-performing Receivables is recognized on a cash basis. Accrual of finance income and lease revenue is resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collections are reasonably assured. Accrued finance income and lease revenue reversed on non-performing Receivables, and finance income and lease revenue recognized from cash payments on non-performing Receivables were as follows (in millions of dollars ): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30 May 1 April 30 May 1 2023 2022 2023 2022 Accrued finance income and lease revenue reversed $ 5.1 $ 3.0 $ 7.9 $ 6.8 Finance income and lease revenue recognized on cash payments 4.6 3.9 7.7 7.0 Receivable balances are written off to the allowance for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, they are considered uncollectible. Generally, when retail notes and financing lease accounts are 120 days delinquent, the collateral is repossessed or the account is designated for litigation, and the estimated uncollectible amount from the customer is written off to the allowance for credit losses. Revolving charge accounts are generally deemed to be uncollectible and written off to the allowance for credit losses when delinquency reaches 120 days. Generally, when a wholesale account becomes 60 days delinquent, the Company determines whether the collateral should be repossessed or the account designated for litigation, and the estimated uncollectible amount is written off to the allowance for credit losses.

The Company measures expected credit losses on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Risk characteristics considered by the Company include product category, market, geography, credit risk, and remaining duration. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics with other receivables in the portfolio are evaluated on an individual basis. Non-performing Receivables are included in the estimate of expected credit losses. Recoveries from freestanding credit enhancements, such as dealer deposits, and certain credit insurance contracts are not included in the estimate of expected credit losses. Recoveries from dealer deposits are recognized in other income on the statements of consolidated income when the dealer’s withholding account is charged. Recoveries from freestanding credit enhancements recorded in other income were $3.9 million for the second quarter and $5.8 million for the first six months of 2023, compared with $1.9 million for the second quarter and $3.1 million for the first six months of 2022. An analysis of the allowance for credit losses and investment in Receivables during 2023 was as follows (in millions of dollars): Three Months Ended April 30, 2023 Retail Notes Revolving & Financing Charge Wholesale Total Leases Accounts Receivables Receivables Allowance: Beginning of period balance $ 94.8 $ 16.0 $ 10.9 $ 121.7 Provision for credit losses* 18.6 8.2 .2 27.0 Write-offs (14.3) (10.5) (24.8) Recoveries 4.2 5.6 9.8 Translation adjustments (.1) .1 End of period balance $ 103.2 $ 19.3 $ 11.2 $ 133.7 Six Months Ended April 30, 2023 Retail Notes Revolving & Financing Charge Wholesale Total Leases Accounts Receivables Receivables Allowance: Beginning of period balance $ 95.4 $ 21.9 $ 11.1 $ 128.4 Provision (credit) for credit losses* 25.4 4.5 (.3) 29.6 Write-offs (24.5) (18.0) (.1) (42.6) Recoveries 6.6 10.9 .6 18.1 Translation adjustments .3 (.1) .2 End of period balance $ 103.2 $ 19.3 $ 11.2 $ 133.7 Receivables: End of period balance $ 30,503.7 $ 3,699.4 $ 12,880.4 $ 47,083.5 * The allowance for credit losses increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, primarily driven by higher expected losses on turf and construction customer accounts, in addition to higher portfolio balances. The Company continues to monitor the economy as part of the allowance setting process, including potential impacts of inflation and interest rates, among other factors, and qualitative adjustments to the allowance are incorporated as necessary. An analysis of the allowance for credit losses and investment in Receivables during 2022 was as follows (in millions of dollars): Three Months Ended May 1, 2022 Retail Notes Revolving & Financing Charge Wholesale Total Leases Accounts Receivables Receivables Allowance: Beginning of period balance $ 94.7 $ 15.2 $ 11.5 $ 121.4 Provision for credit losses* 10.9 2.5 .2 13.6 Write-offs (13.3) (7.5) (.2) (21.0) Recoveries 3.7 7.1 10.8 Translation adjustments (.1) .1 (.3) (.3) End of period balance $ 95.9 $ 17.4 $ 11.2 $ 124.5 Six Months Ended May 1, 2022 Retail Notes Revolving & Financing Charge Wholesale Total Leases Accounts Receivables Receivables Allowance: Beginning of period balance $ 96.5 $ 20.8 $ 11.7 $ 129.0 Provision (credit) for credit losses* 18.8 (6.9) .3 12.2 Write-offs (25.8) (11.5) (.2) (37.5) Recoveries 6.6 14.9 21.5 Translation adjustments (.2) .1 (.6) (.7) End of period balance $ 95.9 $ 17.4 $ 11.2 $ 124.5 Receivables: End of period balance $ 27,139.8 $ 3,425.0 $ 7,346.4 $ 37,911.2 * Troubled Debt Restructuring A troubled debt restructuring is a significant modification of debt in which a creditor grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a debtor that is experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications may include a reduction of the stated interest rate, an extension of the maturity date, a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt, or a reduction of accrued interest. The following table includes Receivable contracts identified as troubled debt restructurings, which were primarily retail notes (in millions of dollars): Six Months Ended April 30 May 1 2023 2022 Number of receivable contracts 72 139 Pre-modification balance $ 1.5 $ 5.8 Post-modification balance 1.5 4.7 During the same periods as the table above, there were no significant troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted and were written off. At April 30, 2023, the Company had no commitments to provide additional financing to customers whose accounts were modified in troubled debt restructurings. |
