Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 79 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 84 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 5 days. Inventory turnover is 232 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360).

Over 2018-2021, WCR increased by +21%, requiring additional financing.
