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: 62 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 15 days. Inventory turnover is 135 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 155 days of revenue, i.e. 9.8 M€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-57%), freeing up cash.
