Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Although we rarely utilize off-balance sheet arrangements in our operations, we enter into operating leases in the normal course of business. The nature of these lease arrangements is discussed in Note 6 – Land, Buildings and Equipment, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, we have facilities in the U.S., Canada and several countries in Europe that enable us to sell, on an ongoing basis, certain short-term accounts receivable without recourse to third parties. Refer to Note 4 – Receivables, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Refer to Note 16 – Contingencies in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our guarantees, indemnifications and warranty liabilities.
