Company Review

Trend Analysis

PORTMAN HEALTHCARE LIMITED exhibits an average payment time of 35 days, indicating a consistent tendency to pay slightly beyond standard 30-day terms. While 62% of payments are made within 30 days, a substantial 29% fall into the 31-60 day bracket, showing a clear trajectory for a notable portion of invoices to extend past initial due dates.

Volatility Analysis

The 32% late payment rate, coupled with 9% of payments extending over 60 days, suggests a notable degree of payment unpredictability for suppliers. While a majority of invoices are settled promptly, suppliers should anticipate that nearly one-third of payments may not adhere to agreed-upon terms, impacting reliable cash flow forecasting.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers should proceed with caution when establishing terms with PORTMAN HEALTHCARE LIMITED due to the moderate risk of payment delays. It is advisable to factor in potential cash flow impacts from the 32% late payment rate and consider negotiating shorter payment terms or implementing stricter credit policies to mitigate risk.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

The majority of Portman's suppliers are on Portman's standard terms where conditions of purchase are set to 30 days payment terms. This is stipulated in the market tenders inviting commercial proposals, although some suppliers provide longer payment terms as part of the formal negotiation to provide a more attractive commercial model. Any payment terms less than 30 days agreed in advance with the relevant senior management.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Dispute Resolution Process

The Company is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner. We seek to resolve queries as quickly as possible to both party's satisfaction prior to payment being made. In the first instance, invoice queries are managed by the Accounts Payable Team. Senior Managers from both the Finance and Operations Team review follow up activities on outstanding queries each month. An escalation process is in place whereby items not satisfactorily resolved in the first instance are escalated to the Finance Director (UK & IRE) and ultimately to the UK & IRE CFO.
