The average time taken for ABERDEEN ROADS LIMITED to pay their invoices has increased over the past three periods, going from 28 days in the first period to 36 days in the most recent period. The percentage of invoices paid within 30 days has also decreased from 69% to 48%, while the percentage of invoices paid later than 60 days has increased from 4% to 14%. These trends suggest that ABERDEEN ROADS LIMITED is taking longer to pay their invoices, and is struggling to pay them within the agreed terms.
The volatility of ABERDEEN ROADS LIMITED's payment practices can be seen in the fluctuating percentages of invoices paid between 31 and 60 days. While the first two periods saw a relatively stable percentage of 38%, the most recent period saw a significant increase to 48%. This indicates that ABERDEEN ROADS LIMITED's payment practices are not consistent, and may be affected by external factors such as cash flow or supplier relationships.
From Jan 2018 to Jun 2018, ABERDEEN ROADS LIMITED had an average time to pay of 28 days, with 69% of their invoices being paid within 30 days. However, from Jul 2018 to Dec 2018, the average time to pay increased to 31 days, with only 58% of invoices being paid within 30 days. In the most recent period (Jan 2019 to Jun 2019), the average time to pay increased even further to 36 days, with only 48% of invoices being paid within 30 days. This shows a consistent trend of ABERDEEN ROADS LIMITED taking longer to pay their invoices, and struggling to pay them within the agreed terms.
