Company Review

Trend Analysis

EDRINGTON UK DISTRIBUTION LIMITED demonstrates a split payment trend, with 65% of payments made within 30 days but an extended average payment time of 52 days. This indicates that while many invoices are settled promptly, a substantial portion (35% late, 16% over 60 days) consistently experiences delays, lengthening the overall payment cycle. The trajectory suggests a regular pattern of slower payments for a minority of transactions rather than isolated incidents.

Volatility Analysis

Payment reliability for EDRINGTON UK DISTRIBUTION LIMITED is moderately unpredictable, with 35% of invoices paid late and 16% exceeding 60 days. This significant proportion of delayed payments introduces notable volatility, making it difficult for suppliers to consistently forecast cash flow. The inherent risk factor lies in the consistent nature of these delays, suggesting that a portion of invoices will not adhere to standard payment terms.

Summary Analysis

Overall, EDRINGTON UK DISTRIBUTION LIMITED presents a moderate payment risk due to its average 52-day payment cycle and consistent 35% late payment rate. Suppliers should factor in potential cash flow strain from the 16% of payments exceeding 60 days when making credit decisions. It is recommended to implement proactive risk mitigation strategies such as stricter payment terms or closer monitoring of outstanding invoices.
