ZOGENIX INTERNATIONAL LIMITED maintains an average payment time of 44 days, positioning most transactions within the 31-60 day bracket and indicating a consistent tendency to pay beyond standard 30-day terms. While 52% of payments are made within 30 days, the remaining 48% extend further, with 16% exceeding 60 days, suggesting a split payment behavior rather than a uniform cycle. Notably, the 0% late payment rate indicates that even extended payments are ultimately honored within agreed or expected contractual limits.
The distribution across three distinct payment bands — 52% under 30 days, 32% at 31-60 days, and 16% over 60 days — reveals moderate variability in payment timing, making cash flow forecasting somewhat unpredictable for suppliers. The 16% of payments exceeding 60 days represents a meaningful minority that could strain supplier liquidity if invoice values are high or if multiple payments cluster in this band simultaneously. However, the complete absence of late payments reduces the risk of default or dispute, pointing to a reliable but inconsistently timed payer.
ZOGENIX INTERNATIONAL LIMITED presents a moderate payment risk profile: financially reliable with no late payments, but operationally inconsistent due to a 44-day average that exceeds standard net-30 terms. Suppliers should factor extended payment windows into their cash flow planning and consider negotiating clear payment terms of net-45 to align expectations with observed behavior. For higher-value contracts, requesting partial upfront payments or early payment incentives could help mitigate the impact of the 16% of invoices that extend beyond 60 days.
