Company Review

Trend Analysis

The average payment time of 32 days suggests a slight drift beyond a standard 30-day term. However, 90% of invoices are paid within 30 days, demonstrating a strong general trend towards timely settlements. This indicates a consistent but marginally delayed payment speed trajectory for the majority of transactions.

Volatility Analysis

Despite the strong performance within 30 days, 10% of payments are consistently late, with 6% extending beyond 60 days. This introduces a moderate level of unpredictability and risk for a minority of invoices, potentially impacting a supplier's short-term cash flow. Such volatility requires careful monitoring, as a small fraction of invoices can experience significant payment delays.

Summary Analysis

TUBE LINES LIMITED presents as a largely reliable payer for most transactions, supported by 90% payments within 30 days. Suppliers should factor in the 10% risk of late payments, particularly the 6% that stretch beyond 60 days, when setting credit terms. To mitigate this, consider implementing early payment discounts or more stringent follow-up for invoices approaching the 30-day mark.
