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: 27 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 58 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 31 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 189 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 210 days of revenue, i.e. 12.3 M€ to permanently finance.
