CooperVision International Limited has an average payment time of 55 days, with all invoices settled within the 31-60 day band (60%) or earlier within 30 days (40%), and notably zero payments exceeding 60 days. While no payments breach the 60-day threshold, the concentration of 60% of payments in the 31-60 day range indicates a consistent pattern of extended but controlled payment cycles. The absence of over-60-day payments suggests a stable ceiling on payment delays, though the average of 55 days reflects a persistent tendency toward the later end of the payment window.
The late payment rate of 55% is a significant concern, indicating that more than half of invoices are not settled within agreed terms, creating meaningful cash flow unpredictability for suppliers. However, the clean 0% over-60-day rate provides a degree of reassurance that payments, while frequently late, do not escalate into severely delinquent territory. The split between the two payment bands (40% within 30 days, 60% in 31-60 days) suggests moderate but manageable volatility, with payment behavior largely confined to a predictable range.
CooperVision International Limited presents a moderate payment risk profile — payments are reliably completed within 60 days, but a 55% late payment rate means suppliers should not rely on contractual terms being met consistently. Suppliers with tight liquidity requirements or standard 30-day terms should factor in a realistic 45-55 day collection window when planning cash flow. To mitigate risk, suppliers are advised to build extended payment terms into contracts where feasible, apply early payment incentives, or establish clear escalation procedures for invoices approaching the 45-day mark.
