There was an increase in WC metrics compared with 2013The WC Cash to Cash (C2C) increased by 15 days to 116 days in 2016 from 101 days in 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in days sales outstanding (DSO) in 2016 by 13 days compared with 2013.
Very large companies (by size) manage WC more efficiently than mid- and small-sized companiesOverall, the larger companies have managed to improve their WC in 2015 compared with small- and mid-sized companies. The average NWC by sales percentage for very large companies decreased to 7% in 2016 from 10% in 2013. The average NWC by sales percentage for small companies was 35% in 2016.
What influences WC?Middle East (MENA) companies have not been proactive in managing WC in 2016. The following economic situations resulted in WC deterioration in 2016:
• Sales decrease • Volatile oil prices• Rising interest rates• Decrease in banks’ lending appetite
Is it more than just negotiating power?The common misconception is that improvements are related only to payment terms. However, in reality, there are many different levers to pull in trade and non-trade WC, such as order processing time, invoice processing timeline, invoice trigger date, invoice delivery timeline and dispute management.
The key aspect that drives WC reduction for very large companies is their investment in people, policies, processes and infrastructure. Discipline in creating and adhering to smart WC processes helps release cash trapped in the business because of process inefficiencies.

Themes Key questions to think about
WC top performers operate better across all the metricsOn the basis of the study, top WC performers, on average, show better financial metrics, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), return on equity (ROE), and return on capital employed (ROCE), compared with WC performers at the bottom of the scale. They also have more spare cash toward capital expenditure (capex) compared with poor performers.
There are good performers in every industryOn the basis of the study, every industry has exeptional WC improvement. Out of the top 15 industries, four have seen improvement in WC metrics for 50% or more of the companies.
What is the link?There are multiple strategic advantages of WC improvements, such as:
• Creating investment capacity• De-leveraging the business or improving
shareholder yield• Dividend payments • Lower interest income
What can be learnt from them?There are a number of companies improving their WC performance in every industry. The sectors with the largest variance are building materials, chemicals, food producers and distributors, among others.

Themes Key questions to think about
MENA companies overview
Reduced sales growth and cash on hand
In FY16, the sales for MENA companies declined by 4.1% compared with FY15. This was primarily because of subdued industrial activity, weak investment environment and low oil prices. The key sectors with maximum sales drop are household durable products, entertainment industry, oil and gas, and industrial and packing material.
Cash on hand for the MENA companies went down by 2.7% in FY16. This may be because of increased WC metrics; and thereby, excess cash unnecessarily being tied up in the business.

“ In a tough economic environment, it is important to focus on efficiencies and maintain an optimal capital structure. WC optimization can help support the capital structure by releasing excess cash, which can be effectively utilized elsewhere.”

Increase in short-term borrowings and reduction in total debt compared with 2015
A review of the total debt and short-term borrowings indicate that total debt and short-term borrowings increased by 2.5% and 12.0% respectively in 2016. This indicates the need for increased WC
investment required by companies. The total debt increased by 17.0% between 2013 and 2016.

Chart 4: Overall trend in short-term borrowings
The cash to cash cycle for the region increased by eight days to 116 days in 2016 (2013: 101 days). This was primarily because of a significant increase in DSO.
Our study shows that MENA companies are collecting their dues seven days slower in 2016 compared to 2015. There may be multiple drivers, such as increase in credit period, weaker collections process and liquidity issues for a few customers. However, an interesting aspect is the percentage overdue of total receivables and its movement across years. The health of receivables can be ascertained by analyzing the movement of overdue percentage over the period.

The overall days payable outstanding (DPO) improved by five days in 2016 compared with 2015. However, this shows that MENA companies have not been successful in passing over the increase in DSO down to their suppliers through an increase in payment terms. It is important to understand if this increase is due to improved credit terms or delay in payments.

Our study shows that the top industries with the highest WC days (C2C) are the pharmaceuticals, electrical components and equipment, and other diversified industrials sectors. The C2C days for pharmaceuticals, and electrical components and equipment decreased by 4.9% and 6.2%, respectively, in FY16. The main reason for the increase in C2C days was decline in inventory days.
At the other end of the spectrum, telecoms, food and beverage, utilities, and transportation services enjoy a low C2C cycle. However, the sectors saw an increase in the C2C cycle in FY16 compared with FY15. The main reasons for the low C2C cycle for telecoms and restaurants were the high payable days coupled with medium receivable days and extremely low inventory days.
Average NWC by industry in FY16 shows wide variance in WC performance between industries.The differences primarily arise because of differences in operating models, supplier and customer mix, procurement strategies, and overall industry drivers.

“ WC management appears to be a key area of concern for many companies in the region. It is important for MENA companies across sizes to move from an only P&L-focused organization to P&L and cash-focused organization.”
Phil Gandier EY MENA TAS Leader

Chart 2: Historical DIO movement
The important thing to note is that the very large companies use many more WC levers apart from negotiations terms in order to optimize cash. A few key levers are:
• Streamlined WC processes
• Cash flow forecasting and monitoring
• Focus on operational metrics as well as financial metrics
• Optimum inventory modeling• Enablement of efficient systems
• Demand forecast accuracy mapping
Therefore, it is important for smaller companies to adopt leading WC practices in order to stay ahead of the curve.

Our study shows that the very large companies appear to be better at managing their WC than smaller companies. The gap in WC performance between very large and small companies widened in FY16. However, WC performance for very large companies in FY16 has deteriorated.
Factors typically influencing differences such as these include:
• Practical factors
• For large companies (large and very large), scale provides greater opportunities to negotiate favourable payment terms with customers and suppliers.
• Large companies are also more likely than smaller (small and medium) companies to have more SKUs and complex supply chain including selling outside their home regions, potentially giving rise to longer lead times and excess safety stocks.
• Large companies tend to be more diversified out of the region resulting in lesser impact from the long payment terms in the region.
• Approach and outlook towards WC management
• Large companies tend to have a holistic view on working capital therefore monitoring more levers closely compared to smaller companies.
• Large companies tend to hire management with specialist experience (eg: Treasurer for better cash and liquidity management) as they have greater access to resources.
• Lean practices and vendor managed inventory arrangements are more widespread among large companies compared with smaller companies.
• Larger companies tend have better systems (ERP systems) and reporting tools compared to smaller companies.
While these results confirm that size matters in WC, it remains unclear how much of the WC performance gap between small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large companies is due to the SMEs’ reluctance to engage more openly with other participants in the value chain.
Overall, the C2C for very large companies was at 24 days in FY16 compared with 129 days for small companies and 131 days for medium-sized companies in FY16.

Top vs. bottom WC performersTop WC performers demonstrate better financial indicators than bottom performing ones.
“ WC is a key element to consider when contemplating undertaking a transaction; sellers need to avoid ‘leaving value on the table’, and corporate investors often prefer to invest in tightly managed companies with optimized WC, so as not to dilute their own performance metrics.”
Matthew Benson EY Partner — EMEIA Transaction Services
Source: EY analysis, based on publicly available annual financial statements
Our analysis indicates that companies that excel in their WC management also have strong balance sheets, and deliver high margins and ROCE. The top WC performers report a C2C of 24 days and achieve an EBITDA margin of 19%, ROCE of 6% and ROE of 4%. In contrast, the bottom WC performers report a higher C2C of 222 days, while achieving a lower EBITDA margin of 17%, ROCE of 3% and ROE of –26%.

How EY can helpIf your answer is “yes” or “maybe” to any of these indicators, it may be time to think about WC optimization.
It not only provides clarity and predictability over cash flow, but also organically reduces the WC investment in the company.
This results in unlocking trapped cash for redeployment.
How EY can help
End-to-end WC approach Service design
The Global EY Network of dedicated WC professionals helps clients identify, evaluate and prioritize actionable improvements to liberate significant cash from WC through sustainable changes to commercial and operational policies, processes, metrics, and procedure adherence.
We can assist organizations in their transition to a cash-focused culture and help implement the relevant metrics. We can also identify areas for improvement in cash flow forecasting practices. We can then assist in implementing processes to improve forecasting and create the frameworks to sustain those improvements.

Methodology and glossary
• The report contains the findings of a review of the WC performance of 326 companies in the MENA region. We have considered companies with a revenue of above US$10m in 2016, headquartered in MENA.
• This report also sets out the findings of a review comparing the WC performance of small, medium, large and very large companies, using sales as the indicator of each company’s size. SMEs have been defined in this report as follows:
• Small — less than US$250m
• Medium — US$251m to US$750m
• Large — US$750m to US$2b
• Very large — more than US$2b
• The overall analysis draws on companies’ latest fiscal 2016 reports. Performance comparisons have been made with 2015, 2014 and 2013 for the companies.
• The report is based on the review, which is segmented by region, country, industry and company. It uses metrics to provide a clear picture of the overall WC management and identify the resulting levels of cash opportunity.
• Each of the companies analyzed in this research has been allocated to an industry and to a region or country. Reported global, regional and country numbers are sales-weighted.
• The overall review excludes financial institutions and real estate companies because of the difficulty of assessing its “true” WC performance, given the intertwined nature of its industrial and financial activities.
• The performance trends at the country and industry levels need to be treated with a degree of caution; the approach is based on consolidated numbers in the absence of further local details, with each company being allocated to the location of its headquarters.
• Because of differences in industry weightings and the level of international activity within each economy, an analysis of the WC performance gap across countries in Europe would not have been useful or meaningful.
• The WC performance metrics are calculated from the latest publicly available company annual financial statements. In order to make the figures as comparable and consistent as possible, adjustments (see glossary) have been made to the data to reflect the impact of acquisitions and disposals, and off-balance sheet arrangements.
• DSO: year-end trade receivables net of provisions, including value-added tax (VAT) and adding back securitized and current financial receivables, divided by full-year pro forma sales and multiplied by 365 (expressed as a number of days of sales, unless stated otherwise)
• DIO: year-end inventories net of provisions, divided by full-year pro forma sales and multiplied by 365 (expressed as a number of days of sales, unless stated otherwise)
• DPO: year-end trade payables, including VAT and adding back trade-accrued expenses, divided by full-year pro forma sales and multiplied by 365 (expressed as a number of days of sales, unless stated otherwise)
• C2C: sum of DSO and DIO less DPO (expressed as a number of days of sales, unless stated otherwise)
• Pro forma sales: reported sales net of VAT, and adjusted for acquisitions and disposals where this information was available
• NWC: year-end trade receivables net of provisions, including VAT and adding back securitized and current financial receivables plus year less end inventories net of provisions — year-end trade payables, including VAT and adding back trade-accrued expenses
