Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 59 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 67 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 8 days. Inventory turnover is 94 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360).

Notable WCR improvement over the period (-55%), freeing up cash.
