Company Review

Trend Analysis

THOMAS COOK TOUR OPERATIONS LIMITED demonstrates a strong trend of very prompt payments, with an average payment time of just 10 days. A substantial 89% of invoices are settled within 30 days, indicating consistent and efficient payment processing. This trajectory suggests a reliable pattern of quick turnaround on the majority of invoices.

Volatility Analysis

Despite the quick average, 25% of payments are classified as late, which introduces a notable element of unpredictability regarding individual invoice settlement. Furthermore, 6% of payments extending beyond 60 days presents a specific risk factor for potential long-tail delayed cash flow on a minority of transactions. This indicates some volatility, where while most payments are prompt, a significant portion deviates from the average.

Summary Analysis

Overall, THOMAS COOK TOUR OPERATIONS LIMITED is a generally reliable payer, with high probability of quick settlement for the majority of transactions. Suppliers should factor in the 25% late payment rate and the 6% of payments exceeding 60 days when extending credit, implying a need for careful monitoring. Mitigation could involve clear payment terms and proactive follow-up on overdue invoices to manage the identified risk tail.
