Company Review
Trend Analysis
HIGHLAND COUNTRY BUSES LIMITED demonstrates a strong trend towards prompt payments, with an average payment time of 28 days. While 64% of invoices are settled within 30 days, a significant 34% consistently extend into the 31-60 day window, indicating a stable but slightly bifurcated payment trajectory.
Volatility Analysis
The payment profile shows low volatility for extreme delays, with only 2% of payments exceeding 60 days and a total of 7% being late overall. However, the substantial 34% of payments falling between 31-60 days suggests a predictable variability where suppliers should anticipate that not all invoices will be paid within the immediate 30-day term.
Summary Analysis
HIGHLAND COUNTRY BUSES LIMITED presents an acceptable payment risk, exhibiting generally reliable behavior with a low likelihood of severe payment delays. Suppliers should proceed, but factor in the consistent 31-60 day payment window for a third of invoices, potentially adjusting cash flow forecasts or credit terms to mitigate this predictable extension.
