Trend Analysis
AFFINITY WATER LIMITED generally demonstrates a prompt payment trend with an average time of 26 days. While 69% of payments are settled within 30 days, a substantial 30% extend into the 31-60 day window. This indicates a primary trend of on-time payments, but with a considerable secondary cluster of slightly delayed settlements.
Volatility Analysis
The payment profile indicates moderate predictability; while the majority are timely, the 30% falling into the 31-60 day range suggests some variability in payment dates. A low 1% of payments extending beyond 60 days minimizes extreme long-tail risk for suppliers. However, the 18% late payment rate signifies that occasional delays beyond agreed terms are a distinct possibility.
Summary Analysis
AFFINITY WATER LIMITED is generally a reliable payer with a low risk of extremely late settlements. Suppliers should factor in the possibility that approximately 30% of invoices may be paid between 31 and 60 days. To mitigate potential cash flow impacts, consider payment terms that accommodate this variability or establish clear follow-up procedures for invoices approaching the 30-day mark.
