Company Review

Trend Analysis

ESDEVIUM GAMES LIMITED exhibits a clear trend of delayed payments, with an average payment time of 44 days and 59% of invoices settling late. While 33% of payments are made within 30 days, the dominant trajectory shows 46% settling between 31-60 days, indicating a consistent pattern of payments extending beyond standard net-30 terms. A concerning 21% of payments consistently extend beyond 60 days, suggesting a regular occurrence of substantial delays.

Volatility Analysis

The payment profile of ESDEVIUM GAMES LIMITED presents moderate volatility and lower predictability for prompt payments, as 59% are routinely late. The distribution, with 46% paying between 31-60 days, offers some predictability for moderate delays, but the significant 21% of payments exceeding 60 days introduces considerable uncertainty regarding extended delays. This pattern indicates a higher risk of unpredictable cash flow impact for suppliers due to the frequent and sometimes prolonged nature of late payments.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers should exercise caution when engaging with ESDEVIUM GAMES LIMITED, as timely payment is not consistently achieved; anticipate an average payment time of 44 days with 59% being late. A key decision factor is the high likelihood of payments extending beyond 30 days, with 21% taking over 60 days, posing a significant cash flow risk. To mitigate this risk, suppliers could consider implementing adjusted payment terms (e.g., net-45 or net-60), establishing stricter credit limits, or requesting upfront deposits for larger orders.
