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: 147 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 115 days. The gap of 32 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Overall, WCR represents 98 days of revenue, i.e. 51 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +62%, requiring additional financing.
