Company Review

Trend Analysis

The average payment time of 45 days, with 85% of payments consistently falling within the 31-60 day range, indicates a predictable payment trend. This establishes a stable operational trajectory where payments reliably occur in the middle-to-late part of typical 60-day terms. Only 13% of invoices are paid within 30 days, suggesting a deliberate payment cycle that consistently targets the 31-60 day window.

Volatility Analysis

With only 2% of payments being late and 2% extending beyond 60 days, J.W.LEES & CO. demonstrates high reliability and low volatility in its payment schedule. This minimal occurrence of delayed payments significantly reduces unpredictability and associated financial risk for suppliers. The company exhibits a stable payment behavior, allowing suppliers to forecast cash flow with a high degree of confidence.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers can expect reliable, though slightly extended, payment terms from J.W.LEES & CO., with the majority of payments settling around 45 days. It is recommended that suppliers factor this consistent 31-60 day payment window into their cash flow planning, rather than anticipating early payments. Overall, the risk of payment delinquency is low, but suppliers should align their financial expectations with the established average payment cycle.
