Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 26 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 117 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 91 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. Overall, WCR represents 166 days of revenue, i.e. 20.1 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2019-2024, WCR increased by +39%, requiring additional financing.
