Supplier Financing Rate

What is it?

The Supplier Financing Rate is the company’s estimated cost of short-term financing.

Please note:

The financing rate is a variable rate composed of a Base Rate (based on a currency, e.g. SOFR) plus the Credit Spread which is based on the supplier’s credit rating.

Why is it important?

Suppliers with a high Supplier Financing Rate will receive a greater benefit from a supplier financing program if we choose to implement one since they will benefit more from low-cost financing. In addition, it can give us an indication of the impact of our term optimization on our supplier’s cost of financing.
