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: 85 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 63 days. The company must finance 22 days of gap between collections and payments. 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 222 days of revenue, i.e. 4.8 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2017-2025, WCR increased by +107%, requiring additional financing.
