Supply-chain finance programs seeing cuts as companies face high interest rates

Big companies like AT&T, Keurig Dr Pepper, and Krispy Kreme are reducing their use of supply-chain or vendor financing due to rising interest rates. Supply-chain financing allows buyers to delay payment to vendors and is not counted as debt on balance sheets. However, increasing interest rates have made this financing option costly for some companies. AT&T is paying down its high-cost program, while Keurig Dr Pepper is renegotiating terms with vendors. Despite concerns about liquidity risks and potential misuse, supply-chain financing remains beneficial for many companies looking to boost cash without borrowing or issuing debt.
