Working capital requirement (WCR) and payment terms
Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 41 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 266 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 225 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 156 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 207 days of revenue, i.e. 11.5 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2025, WCR increased by +811%, requiring additional financing.
