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: 35 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 45 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 10 days. Inventory turnover is 141 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 175 days of revenue, i.e. 6.0 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2019-2024, WCR increased by +168%, requiring additional financing.
