Company Review

Trend Analysis

AUTOLUS LIMITED's average payment time is 45 days, with 56% paid within 30 days. However, a significant 44% of payments are late, including 19% extending beyond 60 days, indicating a consistent challenge with a notable portion of invoices experiencing delays. This pushes the overall payment speed into a moderately slow trajectory.

Volatility Analysis

The wide distribution of payment times, with payments ranging from within 30 days to over 60 days, indicates low payment predictability and reliability. With 44% of payments being late, suppliers face a significant risk of inconsistent cash flow. This variability suggests that timely payment cannot be reliably assumed for a substantial portion of transactions.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers should approach AUTOLUS LIMITED with caution due to the extended average payment time and high late payment rate. Key decision factors include the supplier's cash flow sensitivity and ability to manage longer payment cycles. Mitigations could involve negotiating stricter payment terms, requesting deposits for larger orders, or utilizing credit insurance to manage the elevated risk.
