Supply chain finance

… for suppliers delivering/invoicing to Siemens Energy in Canada

Program fee
The only cost of the program is the discount charge that a supplier pays on the face value of the receivable to receive early payment.
The current annualized discount rates are based on the supplier’s annual volume with Siemens Energy:

> 500k CAD: 1.75% p.a.* + CDOR**

> 300k CAD, < 500k CAD: 2.00% p.a.* + CDOR**

< 300k CAD: 2.75% p.a.* + CDOR** 

* The fixed fee is covering the costs of the program as well as those of the banks providing the fund for the benefit of the suppliers.
** The underlying interest reference rate depends on the currency of the invoice and is fixed in the corresponding contract with ORBIAN, e.g. for CAD invoices the relevant rate is the CDOR – the negotiated payment term (e.g. 90 days) is relevant for the calculated CDOR (e.g. 3M CDOR)

Sample calculation:
A supplier delivers products worth 1 million CAD. The payment is due in 90 days (net). When participating in the SCF program, the supplier will receive the payment 80 days earlier.

Discount rate: 7.25% p.a. (1.75% p.a. + CDOR (e.g. 5.50% p.a.))

Discount charge: CAD 16.111 (1m CAD x 7.25% x (80/360))

Discounted value receivable: CAD 983,889 (cash received by supplier)

Cash flow benefit: CAD 218,642 (payment after 10 instead of 90 days)

[Discount charge as a percentage of the receivable: 1.61%.]
