Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 5 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 124 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 119 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 107 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360).

Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +64%, requiring additional financing.
