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: 40 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 60 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 20 days. Inventory turnover is 104 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 130 days of revenue, i.e. 3.4 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +471%, requiring additional financing.
