7 RISK MANAGEMENT & LOSS TRANSFER
8 Account Receivables Risk, Protect Your Assets!! A/R is your most volatile asset What amount of loss would seriously impact your annual profit? How many customers have credit extended over that amount?
9 My Customers are Golden Bankruptcies are inevitable, even old well established firms!! Failures come from increasingly unpredictable sources: Surprise economic downturn Unforeseen loss of key customers Management change / succession Complex Financial Restructuring Technology advances Product Liability Political Upheaval Labour strikes/shortages Just one large bankruptcy can lead to the failure of many suppliers. To avoid being caught in the domino effect, the credit strength of the full supply chain must be monitored

Failures come from increasingly unpredictable sources: Surprise economic downturn Unforeseen loss of key customers Management change / succession Complex Financial Restructuring Technology advances Product Liability Political Upheaval Labour strikes/shortages Just one large bankruptcy can lead to the failure of many suppliers. To avoid being caught in the domino effect, the credit strength of the full supply chain must be monitored
11 Vulnerability Factors=Need for Risk Mitigation Sales Concentration: Sector/Industry/Customer >25% of sales Rapid Sales Growth or New Customer Risk: Sales expansion = greater risk to new customers Export Sales: LOC s can inhibit growth untapped opportunity to leverage foreign receivables with lender. Recent Bad Debt History: reserves > 1% of sales. Special Order Goods: Custom-made orders > 30% of sales
12 Vulnerability Factors=Need for Risk Mitigation Longer Terms of Sale: credit terms > 60 days Limited Financial Capacity: thin profit margins/highly leveraged companies Low Risk Tolerance: senior financial executives, especially with public companies, actively seek to avoid earnings volatility Overburdened Credit Management Capability: prefers to supplement credit decision making with external resources.
13 Vulnerability Factors=Need for Risk Mitigation Middle East: Hostilities and insurrection Latin America: Political alignment with radical left Political corruption in Russia Eastern Europe: Less pro-business & market friendly governments Western Europe: Economic recession Sub-Saharan Africa: armed disputes and instability South Central Asia: Political uncertainty and rising tensions
14 Policy Types of Risks Covered
15 Impact of Bad Debt Losses Bad debts beyond budgeted amounts can impact: Cash Flow: less access to the company s revolving credit line which is secured by its accounts receivable. Future Sales: Due to a lack of credit management flexibility. Investments : less cash to invest in product development, distribution, technology, etc.
16 Mechanics of a Policy
17 Mechanics of a Policy Limits: buyer limits: discretionary credit limit, cancellable or non-cancellable Policy limit or policy face Aggregate limits Country limits Scope of Coverage: export, domestic, key buyer, multi-buyer, single buyer, segmented coverage (e.g. sector, country) Duration: typically one-year covering short term credit extension (e.g. net days). Policies > one year are available (e.g. special projects, political risks) 2 years-20 years Risk Retention: Insured Percentage (co-insurance), Annual Aggregate Deductible, Per Buyer Deductible, Non Qualifying Loss/Minimum Claims Amount
18 Mechanics of a Policy Premium pricing components: Industry or trade sector Nature of goods or services Buyer financial strength Spread of risk, i.e. total amount of sales insured Country Risk Terms of Payment Bad Debt history Quality of Aged-trial balance Credit Management structure/procedures. Premium Rates: Typically < 0.50% of sales Average 0.20%-0.30% cases of <0.05% of sales
19 Mechanics of a Policy Claims: Proof of loss/debt Claim Form Accurate records of shipments including credit files
20 Mechanics of a Policy Top reasons claims can be denied: Late filing Disputes Wrong Buyer No Proof of Debt Shipment after coverage period Wrong Country
21 SALES EXPANSION
22 EXPANDING & SALES GROWTH Credit insurance is a tool to increase incremental sales. Expand sales to new, unknown or higher-risk customers and new markets to which sales are currently restricted while protecting bottom line. The higher the gross margin percentage, the greater the contribution from incremental sales. Improve export sales by selling on less restricted payment terms (no need to require Letters of Credit). Increasing competitiveness in foreign markets. Analysis and review of your portfolio of buyers and sellers by a third party insurer ASK Are there any new or higher-risk customers to which you are restricting sales? ASK Do you have export sales? If so, which countries and under what payment terms? ASK Could selling on open account terms make you more attractive to your potential client base and improve your competitive position?
23 EXAMPLE MANUFACTURING Manufacturing Situation A manufacturer of consumer goods was interested in growing sales into new markets. It understood that selling into international markets increase its exposure to risk, but it also understood there were tools available that would help it to mitigate risks. By utilizing Trade Credit Insurance and protecting itself from buyer payment default the company has grown in new markets such as Brazil, Mexico, France and Italy. Solution August 2015 Trade Credit Insurance gave the company an opportunity to get to know the new market and is not only selling to these new markets, but it has also set up subsidiary manufacturing companies in these locations.
24 Sales Expansion Operating Facts Company: $40 Million in Sales Average A/R: $4 Million Gross Margin: 10% Account Turns Per Year: 8 Objective Company has a few large/new accounts that offer additional selling opportunities but reached their comfort exposure level. Interested in a credit risk protection program that would allow to safely increase sales. One Account Can Make A Difference "Comfort" Exposure $500,000 Approved Coverage $750,000 Additional Sales Opportunity $250,000 Gross Profit 10.00% A/R Turns 8 Increased Revenue $2,000,000 Increased Gross Profit $200,000
25 Return on Investment (ROI)
26 CASH FLOW CONSIDERATION
27 Options to Manage Short-Term Credit Risk Self-insurance establishing bad debt reserves or captive program to offset deficit should customers be unable to pay Offers flexibility to respond to issues with nominal coverage exclusions May create liquidity problems, especially for unforeseen losses Impacts capital allocation of balance sheet and may reveal operating weaknesses Requires investment in credit management systems, information acquisition, analysis and monitoring, and finally audit controls No alternative bad cop to soften conflict resolution with clients who are slow to pay.
28 Options to Manage Short-Term Credit Risk Collateral transfer credit risk from balance sheet by using pre-payment, cash on delivery, letters of credit or other assets (i.e. liens) Mechanism for quick recovery, depending on liquidity of the collateral LC s are obligations and require performance of specific conditions Can make a business very unattractive to potential customers in competitive marketplace. May damage relationship with a client if the company has to move against the asset Requires administration to maintain security position (for example, filing UCC statements, monitoring escrow accounts, and/or execution of LC documents)
29 Options to Manage Short-Term Credit Risk Credit Insurance commercial insurance product that indemnifies a company against non-disputed losses from non-payment or slow payment of commercial trade debt Program flexibility designed for an entire A/R portfolio or segment of customers Accommodates both sizeable and smaller exposures; rated and unrated companies; delivered products and trading operations. Recovery triggered by defined events As credit quality deteriorates, cover may be restricted or cancelled (depending on insurer) Business maintains control of customer relationships; bearing cost of protection so customer(s) may be unaware that coverage has been purchased.
30 Managing Costs Administrative costs associated with credit risk 1. Collecting and managing security deposits Get help in identifying where the real risk lies Remove the liability from your Balance Sheet Improve your leverage Less processing/managing 2. Third Party collection/legal fees Assistance with collections - fees are lower than market rates Once the debt is passed on to the insurer, i.e. after the claim is paid, the insurer handles legal costs associated with the loss.
31 Managing Costs Administrative costs associated with credit risk 3. Third Party reporting fees (e.g. D&B) Need for third party reporting is reduced as the insurer monitors your customers The insurer will provides recommendations with actual dollar amounts 4. Internal credit management/information systems Monitoring services Reporting services
