Standard payment terms
For the reporting period, the most commonly used terms (by reference to number of invoices) was a payment period of 30 days. However, for key suppliers of core materials to our production process, differing terms of longer payment periods were agreed at the discretion of the supplier. Therefore, the weighted average payment period by reference to invoice value would be greater than 30 days.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
No
Maximum contractual payment period agreed
120 days
The longest payment period agreed with a supplier during the reporting period was for invoices to be paid on the 31st of the 3rd month following the invoice date.
