Financial Health Assessment
-
General Condition: The company has a strong proportion of current receivables (73.7%), which suggests many customers are paying on time. However, ~12% of A/R is more than 60 days overdue, which may impact cash flow and increase bad debt risk.
-
Customer Concentration Risk: The five largest customers account for over 50% of A/R. Dependence on a small group of customers could significantly affect cash flow if one or more delay payments or default.
-
Credit Risk: Notables such as "Bosch, München" ($148.8K), "Karstadt Quelle" ($568.5K), and "ALK-Abelló" ($593.1K) have large outstandings. While some are current, close monitoring of these accounts is essential due to their material impact.
-
Anomalies/Concern:
-
BASF, Düsseldorf and BMW, München are shown with large negative total balances (BASF: -$38K, BMW: -$69.7K). This might mean overpayments, credits, or data errors, and should be investigated.
-
Davis Supplies is showing a negative A/R balance of -$210.4K in total. This is unusual and may indicate prepayment, data entry error, or a refund/credit owed.
-
Bad Debts: Several customers have all or a part of their balances aging into the 61–90, or >90 days columns, notably: "Motiva Mobility" ($112.5K at 90 days), "Office Refurbishment" ($255.8K over 90 days), and "Andy Burkston" ($22.9K at 61–90 days).
Customers/Transactions of Interest or Concern
- Large (Over $200,000) Exposures
- ALK-Abelló: $593,103.29 (almost all current)
- Karstadt Quelle: $568,457.09 (almost all current)
- Keller Supply: $433,750.00 (all current)
- Novo, Denmark: $303,160.03 (almost all current)
- Office Refurbishment: $255,800.00 (>90 days overdue!)
-
Potential Problem Accounts
- Motiva Mobility: All $112,545.00 is 90 days overdue.
- Office Refurbishment: All $255,800 is >90 days overdue.
- Andy Burkston, Airport Furniture Store, Bobby O'Mara: All A/R in the 61–90 day column (>$17K & $22K each).
- BASF, BMW, Davis Supplies: Large negative A/R balances — confirming root cause may reveal cash inflow, need for customer refund, or error.
-
Customer/Project Groups
- Groupings such as Mind the Gap Clothing, Pineapple Republic, and Bay Media Research aggregate large exposures. Grouping A/R can reveal potential risk clusters.
Trends, Anomalies and Risks
- Roughly 6.7% ($269K) of receivables are >90 days overdue; industry best practice is to keep this under 5%.
- Multiple significant customers have substantial overdue sums (>60 days) — this could indicate either customer financial stress or invoicing/collection inefficiency.
- Three customers have negative total balances, suggesting data inaccuracies, unapplied credits, or overpayments; these require prompt investigation.
- Certain customers (Office Refurbishment, Motiva Mobility) have all A/R in overdue columns, increasing the likelihood of write-offs.
- Customer concentration is high (top five = >54% of A/R), increasing risk from any payment delays among these accounts.
Actionable Insights & Recommendations
- Pursue Aggressive Collections: Proactively follow up on >90 days overdue accounts, especially "Office Refurbishment" and "Motiva Mobility". Consider placing holds or adjusting credit terms for these customers.
- Investigate Negative Balances: Review BASF, BMW, and Davis Supplies for data errors, over-payments, or the need for customer refunds.
- Monitor Top Customers: Tighten credit review and monitoring on ALK-Abelló, Karstadt Quelle, Keller Supply, and Novo, Denmark, due to their large balances.
- Review Customer Concentration: Diversify customer base to reduce financial exposure from a handful of clients.
- Enhance Credit & Billing Processes: Expedite invoice delivery, clarify terms, and automate reminders for customers trending toward overdue status.
