Any other information about payment terms

The statistical information provided includes payments to both purchase ledger and sub-contract suppliers. Payments in the 6 months to 31/12/2023 for identifiable supplier companies with under 50 employees (previous 6 months in brackets): 30 Days or Less % of Total: 77% (78%) 31 to 60 Days % of Total : 18% (18%) After 60 Days % of Total : 5% (4%) Avg Days to Pay : 28 (29) During this reporting period the Company implemented a new ERP system. As predicted, this has had a short-term negative impact on our supply chain payment performance and is expected to continue do so at least into the next DRPPP reporting period. In particular, this prevented further improvement in relation to <30 day payments to smaller suppliers. Despite the ERP implementation, average days to pay reduced in the 6 month period to 23 days.
