Average customer payment term: 137 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 69 days. The gap of 68 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow.

Overall, WCR represents 153 days of revenue, i.e. 27.1 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +195%, requiring additional financing.
