Working Capital & Covid

  • This is a chart of the working capital of Electrolux since 2003.
  • It shows that the total cash collection cycle has fallen from 63 days in 2003 (a peak of 87) to zero today.
  • This was almost entirely achieved by payable days doubling from 60 to 120.
  • In short the company is squeezing suppliers.
  • What happens after Covid? This excellent blog post addresses this and other impacts.
