Trend Analysis
The average payment time for STARBUCKS EMEA LTD is 33 days, indicating a tendency to pay just outside the typical 30-day window for a significant portion of invoices. While 55% are paid within 30 days, a substantial 38% fall into the 31-60 day bracket, showing a consistent pattern of slightly extended payments. A notable 7% of payments exceed 60 days, contributing to the overall 12% late payment rate, which suggests a small but material tail of very long payment cycles.
Volatility Analysis
Payment reliability is moderate, as only 55% of invoices are settled within 30 days, meaning nearly half will extend beyond standard terms. The 12% late payment rate, coupled with 7% exceeding 60 days, introduces a predictable level of extended payment risk for some invoices. Suppliers should anticipate variability in payment timing, requiring flexible cash flow management rather than relying on strict 30-day adherence.
Summary Analysis
STARBUCKS EMEA LTD presents a moderate payment risk, with an average payment time of 33 days and a significant portion extending beyond 30 days. Suppliers should factor the 33-day average and the 12% late payment rate into their cash flow projections, as reliance on strict 30-day terms could lead to shortfalls. Consider negotiating specific payment terms, such as Net 45 or offering early payment discounts, to align expectations and mitigate potential cash flow impact.
