Trend Analysis
LAING O'ROURKE SERVICES LIMITED has an average payment time of 42 days, with 66% of invoices settled within 30 days. However, a significant 34% of payments are classified as late, indicating a consistent challenge with timely disbursements for a substantial portion of transactions. The 15% of payments extending beyond 60 days further highlights a trend of longer payment cycles for some invoices.
Volatility Analysis
The 34% late payment rate introduces considerable unpredictability, making it unreliable for suppliers to consistently expect payments within standard terms. With 15% of payments occurring over 60 days, suppliers face a material risk of extended payment delays directly impacting their cash flow planning. This distribution suggests a moderate to high risk profile regarding payment reliability.
Summary Analysis
Suppliers should approach LAING O'ROURKE SERVICES LIMITED with caution, accounting for the 42-day average and the notable 34% late payment rate in their financial planning. It is advisable to establish clear payment terms and consider credit limits that acknowledge the potential for payments extending beyond 60 days. Mitigate risk by closely monitoring outstanding invoices and maintaining a buffer for potential payment delays.
