Average customer payment term: 10 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 43 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 33 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 4 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. WCR is negative (-32 days): operations structurally generate cash. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +72%, requiring additional financing.
