Company Review

Trend Analysis

NORWOOD SCHOOLS LTD. exhibits an average payment time of 28 days, suggesting a general tendency to pay within standard net-30 terms. However, 52% of payments are categorized as late, indicating inconsistency in adhering to due dates despite the acceptable average. This implies a fluctuating payment trajectory where nearly half of invoices extend beyond their initial terms.

Volatility Analysis

The 52% late payment rate, combined with 35% of payments occurring between 31-60 days and 2% over 60 days, points to moderate payment volatility. This pattern suggests a noticeable lack of predictability regarding exact payment dates, as almost four in ten payments will extend beyond 30 days. Suppliers face a tangible risk of delayed cash flow for a substantial portion of invoices, though extreme delays are uncommon.

Summary Analysis

NORWOOD SCHOOLS LTD. presents a moderate payment risk profile for suppliers, characterized by an acceptable average payment time but a high frequency of late payments. Key decision factors should include the 52% late payment rate and the 37% likelihood of payments extending beyond 30 days. Suppliers are advised to establish clear payment terms, monitor invoices closely, or consider phased payments to mitigate potential cash flow delays.
