Company Review

Trend Analysis

OXFORD BIOMEDICA exhibits a strong trend of prompt payments, with an impressive average payment time of just 20 days. A substantial 85% of invoices are consistently settled within 30 days, indicating a highly efficient and positive payment trajectory.

Volatility Analysis

While the majority of payments are swift, 14% are classified as late, with 14% settling between 31-60 days and 1% extending beyond 60 days. This suggests a high level of payment predictability overall, though a small segment of invoices carries a minor risk of delayed settlement that suppliers should acknowledge.

Summary Analysis

OXFORD BIOMEDICA presents a very low payment risk profile for suppliers, with 85% of invoices paid promptly within 30 days. Suppliers can anticipate highly reliable and timely payments; however, monitoring invoices that may fall into the 14% late payment category is a minor but prudent risk mitigation strategy. Overall, the company is a highly dependable partner from a payment perspective.
