Utilities:

The utility industry is gearing up for a period capital intensive growth. Investments are expected to increase significantly on a series of different fronts — additional power generation facilities, exploration for natural gas reserves, new LNG port terminals, and distribution system expansion for both gas and electric, to just name a few. Continued cost cutting and further industry consolidation are also anticipated in order to address capital requirements and to meet investor growth expectations. While Arrow can not be much help to utilities on the above, we can assist in providing additional liquidity from a balance sheet item that has remained largely untapped — delinquent and charged-off account receivables. Arrow has several industry specific programs that can help extract value from these underperforming and often dormant assets. Most importantly, we understand the sensitive customer-centric environment utilities must operate in, and therefore gear our solutions accordingly. We can assist with the range of A/R issues from pre-disconnect final bill calls, to cost effective post-disconnect outsourced collections to outright purchases of delinquent accounts to maximize upfront cash proceeds.
