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: 161 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 32 days. The gap of 129 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Inventory turnover is 113 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. WCR is negative (-129 days): operations structurally generate cash.
