East Midlands Airport Core Property Investments Limited demonstrates a solid central payment performance, with an average payment time of 27 days and 79% of invoices settled within 30 days. However, a notable 18% of payments fall into the 31–60 day bracket, indicating a recurring pattern of delayed settlement for a meaningful portion of invoices. The 3% of payments exceeding 60 days, while relatively small, suggests occasional outlier delays that suppliers should factor into cash flow planning.
The company's payment behaviour carries moderate volatility, with 21% of invoices paid beyond standard 30-day terms and a reported late payment rate of 10%. This divergence between the late payment figure (10%) and the proportion paid beyond 30 days (21%) suggests that some extended payments may still fall within contractually agreed terms, reducing but not eliminating risk. Overall predictability is reasonable given the sub-30-day average, but the tail risk of late payments warrants attention for suppliers operating on tight liquidity margins.
East Midlands Airport Core Property Investments Limited presents a broadly acceptable payment risk profile, making it a workable trading partner for most suppliers, particularly those with standard 30-day payment terms. The 27-day average and 79% on-time rate are reassuring, but suppliers should build contingency for the consistent minority of delayed payments. To mitigate risk, consider including clearly defined late payment interest clauses in contracts and monitoring payment patterns on an invoice-by-invoice basis.
