Company Review

Trend Analysis

BRISTOW HELICOPTERS LIMITED demonstrates a strong trend of prompt payments, with an average payment time of 27 days and 82% of invoices settled within 30 days. While the majority are paid swiftly, a consistent segment of 17% extends to 31-60 days, indicating a predictable variance in payment speed rather than a downward trajectory.

Volatility Analysis

Payment reliability for BRISTOW HELICOPTERS LIMITED is high, with 82% of invoices settled within a predictable 30-day window and no reported instances of contractually "late" payments. Although 18% of payments fall into the 31-60+ day range, this distribution suggests low volatility for suppliers, provided they account for the possibility of slightly extended timelines. Overall risk is minimal, reflecting a generally predictable payment behavior.

Summary Analysis

BRISTOW HELICOPTERS LIMITED is assessed as a highly reliable payer, presenting a low-risk profile for potential suppliers. Suppliers should plan for the majority of payments to be within 30 days, while acknowledging a minority may take up to 60 days. To optimize cash flow, suppliers could consider flexible payment terms or establish clear communication to track the status of invoices.
