Company Review

Trend Analysis

ICS OPERATIONS LIMITED demonstrates a primary trend of paying within 30 days for the majority (62%) of invoices, aligning closely with typical net-30 terms. However, their average payment time of 35 days indicates a drift beyond the 30-day mark, suggesting a moderate but consistent delay across their payment cycle. The 37% late payment rate, combined with 11% paying over 60 days, indicates a persistent segment of slower payments rather than improving speed.

Volatility Analysis

The 37% late payment rate introduces significant unpredictability for cash flow planning, as over a third of invoices will not be paid on time. While 62% pay promptly, the remaining 38% are subject to delays, with 11% extending payments beyond 60 days, which represents a notable tail risk for extended capital lock-up. This variability suggests that while most payments are timely, a substantial portion is not, necessitating careful management of expected payment dates.

Summary Analysis

Given ICS OPERATIONS LIMITED's mixed payment profile, a supplier should approach engagements with caution, particularly regarding expected cash flow. While the majority of payments are made within 30 days, the high 37% late payment rate and 11% extreme delays necessitate robust credit management and clear payment terms. Suppliers might consider implementing shorter payment terms, upfront payment requirements for larger orders, or close monitoring of outstanding balances to mitigate potential financial exposure.
