Trend Analysis
SCOTTISH HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION PLC consistently demonstrates strong payment speed, with 92% of invoices settled within 30 days and an average payment time of 25 days. This indicates a reliable trend of prompt payments, typically well within standard supplier terms.
Volatility Analysis
While most payments are prompt, 12% are classified as late, with 7% falling into the 31-60 day range and 1% exceeding 60 days. This introduces a low but present degree of payment unpredictability for a small portion of invoices, indicating potential minor to moderate delays.
Summary Analysis
Overall, SCOTTISH HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION PLC presents a favorable payment risk profile due to its high percentage of on-time payments. Suppliers should note the small risk of occasional late payments (12%), and it is advisable to maintain ongoing monitoring for these instances to mitigate potential cash flow impacts.
