The average time taken for ARITY INTERNATIONAL LIMITED to pay invoices has fluctuated over the past three periods, with a peak of 41 days in 2019 and a low of 9 days in 2023. However, there has been an overall decrease in the average time taken to pay invoices, from 17 days in 2018 to 9 days in 2023.
The volatility of ARITY INTERNATIONAL LIMITED's payment practices can be seen in the varying percentages of invoices paid within 30 days, between 31 and 60 days, and later than 60 days. In 2019, there was a significant increase in the percentage of invoices paid between 31 and 60 days, while in 2020 and 2021, the company had a high percentage of invoices paid within 30 days. However, there has been a consistent trend of paying invoices later than 60 days in 2018, 2019, and 2021.
Over the past three periods, ARITY INTERNATIONAL LIMITED has shown improvement in their payment practices, with a decrease in the average time taken to pay invoices. In 2022 and 2023, the company consistently paid all invoices within the agreed terms, with 100% of invoices paid within 30 days. However, the company has also had periods where a high percentage of invoices were paid later than 60 days, with a peak of 100% in 2019 and 2021. This suggests a need for continued improvement in payment practices to avoid potential delays and negative impacts on supplier relationships.
