Sales of Receivables
Note 14—Sale of Receivables:
The Company has a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement ("MARPA Facility"), for the sale of up to a maximum amount of $300 million of certain designated eligible receivables with the U.S. government. The receivables sold under the MARPA Facility are without recourse for any U.S. government credit risk. The MARPA Facility automatically renews each year unless one of the parties gives prior notice to terminate.
The receivable transfers under the MARPA Facility have been recognized as sales, as the receivables had been legally isolated from the Company, the financial institution had a right to pledge or exchange the assets received and we do not maintain effective control over the transferred receivables. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated their book value due to their short-term nature.
The Company does not retain an ongoing financial interest in the transferred receivables other than cash collection and administrative services. The Company estimated that its servicing fee was at fair value and therefore has not recognized a servicing asset or liability as of January 30, 2026 and January 31, 2025. Proceeds from the sale of receivables are reflected as cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
During fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred purchase discount fees of $12 million, $14 million and $9 million, respectively, which are presented in "Other (income) expense, net" on the consolidated statements of income.
MARPA Facility activity consisted of the following:
