Trend Analysis
BECTON, DICKINSON U.K. LIMITED exhibits a consistent payment trend where invoices are typically settled beyond standard 30-day terms, with an average payment time of 37 days. A significant majority (56%) of payments fall into the 31-60 day bracket, indicating a predictable trajectory towards slightly extended payment cycles rather than prompt settlement.
Volatility Analysis
The company's payment reliability shows moderate volatility, with 24% of payments being late and 14% extending beyond 60 days. This introduces a measurable risk of unpredictable delays for suppliers, impacting cash flow forecasting due to a notable portion of very extended payment cycles.
Summary Analysis
Overall, BECTON, DICKINSON U.K. LIMITED presents a moderately acceptable payment profile, though suppliers should factor in the average 37-day payment time and the high proportion of payments occurring between 31 and 60 days. To mitigate risks from the 24% late payment rate, suppliers may consider negotiating terms closer to 45 days or implementing tiered credit limits.
