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: 167 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 261 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 94 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 321 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. WCR is negative (-68 days): operations structurally generate cash. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-116%), freeing up cash.
