Company Review

Trend Analysis

OPEN TEXT UK LIMITED demonstrates a strong trend of prompt payments, settling invoices in an average of 18 days. A significant 76% of payments are made within 30 days, indicating a consistent inclination towards timely supplier remuneration. While a portion falls into later categories, the overall trajectory points to a generally efficient payment processing cycle.

Volatility Analysis

While the majority of payments are predictable and on time, a notable 24% (17% within 31-60 days, 7% over 60 days) extends beyond the 30-day mark, resulting in a 13% late payment rate. This introduces some volatility, meaning suppliers should anticipate that roughly one in four invoices may not be settled within standard net-30 terms. The primary risk factor is managing cash flow for this minority of potentially delayed payments.

Summary Analysis

Overall, OPEN TEXT UK LIMITED presents a generally favorable payment profile for suppliers, with most invoices paid well within 30 days. Suppliers should factor in the 24% probability of payments extending beyond 30 days, including a 7% chance of payments exceeding 60 days, when managing their own cash flow expectations. To mitigate this, consider establishing clear payment terms, and actively monitoring initial payment performance.
