Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 10 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 130 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 120 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 129 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 164 days of revenue, i.e. 67.5 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +170%, requiring additional financing.
