Standard payment terms
The Company pays its intra-group supplier of vehicles and spare parts no earlier than 47 days (standard payment term) following the date of invoice via a weekly payment run, therefore payment may occur up to four working days after the due date. The Company’s standard third party supplier payment terms are net monthly and invoices are settled at the end of the month immediately following the month issued. This gives a minimum payment period of 30 days, a maximum of 60 days and an average of 51 days. Alternative payment terms may be negotiated on a case by case basis during contract negotiations.
