A. Connolly Limited demonstrates a split payment trend, with 50% of invoices paid within the 30-day average, indicating consistent on-time performance for a significant portion. However, a near-equal proportion (49%) consistently pays between 31 and 60 days, suggesting a predictable pattern of moderate delays for roughly half of payments. Only 1% of payments extend beyond 60 days, indicating very few exceptionally prolonged delays.
The payment behavior of A. Connolly Limited indicates moderate reliability for prompt payment, with half of all invoices experiencing delays of 31-60 days. Suppliers can anticipate a predictable cash flow pattern where approximately half of their earnings from this client will arrive about a month later than the stated average. The primary risk factor is the significant volume of invoices that consistently fall into the 31-60 day overdue category, potentially impacting supplier liquidity.
Suppliers should approach A. Connolly Limited with an understanding that while a portion of payments are timely, nearly half will be delayed by 31-60 days. It is crucial to factor these predictable payment delays into cash flow forecasting and operational planning. Consider establishing clear, potentially shorter, payment terms or requesting partial upfront payments for larger orders to mitigate the impact of consistent payment extensions.
