Volatility Analysis
The volatility of OVO ENERGY LTD's payment process is evident in the fluctuation of the average time taken to pay invoices, as well as the varying percentages of invoices paid within 30 days and those paid later than 60 days. There has also been a change in the shortest (or only) standard payment period, which was 0 days in the first two periods and increased to 30 days in the following three periods. This may indicate a change in the company's payment policies.
