Assumptions and estimates
- Cash conversion cycle = inventory days + debtor days − creditor days. Funding is an indicative operating-cost proxy; seasonal purchases and profit margins can change actual borrowing needs.
- Method: Cycle days = inventory days + debtor days − creditor days; positive cycle × annual cash operating cost ÷ 365 estimates funding.
- Negative cycles can arise when suppliers finance stock and customers pay promptly. The funding figure is indicative.
