Company Review

Trend Analysis

ARRIVA RAIL NORTH LIMITED demonstrates a clear trend of extremely slow payments, with an average payment time of 147 days. A significant 77% of invoices are paid late, with 44% extending beyond 60 days, indicating a consistent trajectory towards delayed settlements.

Volatility Analysis

ARRIVA RAIL NORTH LIMITED's payment reliability is extremely low, with 77% of invoices paid late, making future payment timing highly unpredictable. The significant portion of payments exceeding 60 days (44%) introduces substantial volatility and high cash flow risk for suppliers.

Summary Analysis

Given the extremely poor payment performance, suppliers should anticipate significant working capital strain and high credit risk when dealing with ARRIVA RAIL NORTH LIMITED. It is critical to implement strong risk mitigation, such as demanding upfront payments, negotiating very short payment terms with penalties, or setting conservative credit limits.
