What could change in Year 5?
Move the sliders to see the illustrative effect on Year 5 EBITDA and on cash released from working capital.
Simplified assumptions: price increases fall straight to EBITDA with volumes unchanged; procurement savings apply to Year 5 bought-in costs; each OEE point adds 0.3% of revenue to EBITDA; cash released equals Year 5 revenue × days reduced ÷ 365.
What the data suggests.
Revenue growth is not converting to profit
Revenue rises 45% over five years while EBITDA margin falls from 14.0% to 10.6%.
Inventory and receivables are absorbing cash
Debtor days and inventory days both lengthen to 70, tying up cash as the business grows.
Procurement is rising faster than revenue
Bought-in costs climb from 48% to 56% of revenue, eroding gross margin.
Production efficiency is inconsistent
OEE swings between 63% and 74%, pointing to scheduling, maintenance or capacity issues.
Automation should be assessed, not assumed
Any automation would be evaluated against its cost, risk and expected benefit before investment.
