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: 502 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 174 days. The gap of 328 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Inventory turnover is 2495 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. WCR is negative (-1304 days): operations structurally generate cash. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-205%), freeing up cash.
