The counterparty lens — spend, terms and supply risk, with the cash and continuity move for each partner.
Paying to terms frees $-994M of cash at no cost to profit — DPO sits at 48d vs the 45-day target. Capture it, dual-source the 2 at-risk suppliers, and consolidate the top tier before lead times stretch.
3 of 4 headline metrics improving vs prior · still off target: Days Payable Outstanding 48d vs 50d, Cash Conversion Cycle 29d vs 25d
GACL & Hindalco carry medium+ supply risk and softer delivery — a single stretch in lead times can stall installs.
$-994M of cash stays in the business by moving DPO from 48d to the 45-day target on $6280.24M of spend — no hit to margin.
Suryachem ($1732.48M) and DCW Ltd ($1570.06M) are 53% of spend — concentrating volume earns rebates and priority allocation.
$6280.24M of equipment runs through six partners. This view turns that into two moves: a $-994.3435602739728M cash release from paying to terms, and a dual-source plan for the 2 suppliers whose delivery risk could stall installs.
Two partners are 53% of spend — the negotiation priorities.
Each card: spend, reliability and the specific move.
