Company Review
Trend Analysis
EPTA COLD SERVICE LTD has seen a consistent increase in their average time to pay invoices over the past three periods, with a decrease in the percentage of invoices paid within 30 days and an increase in the percentage of invoices paid later than 60 days. This trend suggests that the company is taking longer to pay their suppliers, potentially impacting their relationships and cash flow.
Volatility Analysis
The volatility of EPTA COLD SERVICE LTD's payment patterns is relatively high, with significant changes between periods in the percentage of invoices paid within 30 days and those paid later than 60 days. This volatility could indicate inconsistent payment practices and potential strain on supplier relationships.
