Trend Analysis
PILKINGTON GROUP LIMITED exhibits a trend of extended payment cycles, with an average payment time of 56 days. Only 34% of invoices are paid within 30 days, indicating a consistent deviation from standard prompt payment terms. A substantial 66% of payments fall into the 31-day or longer categories, suggesting a planned longer payment approach rather than occasional delays.
Volatility Analysis
The data indicates a notable level of payment unpredictability, with 33% of payments being late. Furthermore, 25% of invoices are paid over 60 days, highlighting a significant portion of highly extended payment terms. This suggests a higher credit risk profile for suppliers due to inconsistent payment timing beyond typical business cycles.
Summary Analysis
Suppliers engaging with PILKINGTON GROUP LIMITED should anticipate extended payment terms, with a high likelihood of payments exceeding 30 days and a significant risk of late payments. Key decision factors include adjusting cash flow expectations and pricing for longer payment cycles. Implementing clear payment terms, early payment discounts, or upfront payment for new engagements could mitigate associated risks.
