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: 47 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 261 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 214 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 255 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 424 days of revenue, i.e. 131 k€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-46%), freeing up cash.
