Company Review

Trend Analysis

The average payment time is 30 days, indicating a commitment to standard terms; however, a substantial 44% of payments are made late. This trend suggests inconsistency, with nearly half of payments extending beyond the initial 30-day window.

Volatility Analysis

The distribution reveals that while just over half of payments are timely, a significant 33% fall into the 31-60 day bracket, with an additional 11% taking over 60 days. This high proportion of late payments, totaling 44%, introduces a notable degree of unpredictability regarding cash flow for suppliers. The risk factor is elevated for prompt payment, as there's a considerable chance payments will be delayed beyond standard terms.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers should factor in the high probability of payment delays when dealing with CAIRN ENERGY HYDROCARBONS LIMITED, as 44% of invoices are paid late. It is recommended to establish clear payment terms, potentially incorporating late payment penalties, and maintain sufficient working capital to absorb potential delays. Consider structuring agreements with milestone-based payments or requesting partial upfront payments to mitigate cash flow risks.
