Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 31 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 152 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 121 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 117 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. WCR is negative (-16 days): operations structurally generate cash. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-293%), freeing up cash.
