Company Review

Trend Analysis

ST GEORGE PLC exhibits an average payment time of 34 days, suggesting a slight tendency to exceed standard 30-day terms for overall payments. While 73% of invoices are paid within 30 days, a notable 13% extend beyond 60 days, indicating a bifurcated pattern in payment speed. This trajectory implies that a significant minority of invoices will face substantial delays, impacting overall consistency.

Volatility Analysis

The 26% late payment rate and 13% of payments exceeding 60 days introduce a moderate level of unpredictability for suppliers. This indicates significant payment volatility, as a substantial portion of invoices will not adhere to typical short-term settlement expectations. Suppliers must factor in this unreliability when assessing cash flow projections and managing working capital.

Summary Analysis

ST GEORGE PLC presents a moderate payment risk, where the majority of prompt payments are offset by a considerable segment experiencing significant delays. Suppliers should account for the 26% late payment rate and the 13% extending over 60 days in their financial planning. Mitigate risk by establishing clear payment terms, proactive follow-up, and potentially adjusting credit limits for larger or critical transactions.
