Company Review

Trend Analysis

BAILLIE GIFFORD OVERSEAS LIMITED exhibits an average payment time of 24 days, suggesting a general tendency towards promptness. However, a significant 44% of their payments are classified as late, indicating inconsistent adherence to payment terms. While 56% of invoices are settled within 30 days, a substantial 37% routinely extends into the 31-60 day range, forming a notable pattern of delayed settlements.

Volatility Analysis

The 44% late payment rate introduces considerable unpredictability for suppliers regarding when payment will be received, making cash flow forecasting challenging. Although over half of payments are made promptly, the concentrated 37% of payments delaying beyond 30 days significantly impacts reliability. This volatility presents a moderate risk of cash flow strain for suppliers who depend on consistent payment schedules, despite the seemingly favorable average.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers should engage with BAILLIE GIFFORD OVERSEAS LIMITED with caution, understanding that while many payments are quick, a substantial portion will experience delays. Key decision factors include the supplier's tolerance for delays, especially for invoices extending into the 31-60 day bracket, and the potential impact on their working capital. Risk mitigation strategies could involve establishing very clear payment terms, considering early payment incentives, or adjusting pricing to account for the cost of extended payment cycles.
