Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 143 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 75 days. The gap of 68 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 1344 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 1568 days of revenue, i.e. 37 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2017-2023, WCR increased by +1572%, requiring additional financing.
