Atradius-onderzoek: aantal oninbare vorderingen in Noord-Amerika stijgt

AMSTERDAM, October 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

De Atradius Payment Practices Barometer, een onderzoek bij B2B-leveranciers van producten en diensten in Noord-Amerika, geeft aan dat gemiddeld 5,3% van de globale waarde van de vorderingen van B2B-bedrijven als oninbaar wordt afgeschreven, in vergelijking met 4,0% een jaar eerder.

Het niveau van oninbare vorderingen steeg in elk van de onderzochte landen, te weten Canada, Mexico en de Verenigde Staten. In Canada van 2,9% in 2011 naar 5,2% in 2012, in Mexico van 4,3 in 2011 naar 5,2% in 2012 en in de Verenigde Staten van 4,6% in 2011 naar 5,6% in 2012. Ter vergelijking, in Europa bedroegen de oninbare B2B-vorderingen in 2012 gemiddeld 3,0% van de waarde van de vorderingen van de respondenten (stabiel in vergelijking met dezelfde onderzoeksperiode in 2011).

In Mexico was de situatie meer uitgesproken, met 5,6% oninbare binnenlandse vorderingen in vergelijking met 4,1% buitenlandse vorderingen. In Canada en de Verenigde Staten vormden de buitenlandse vorderingen een groter risico dan de binnenlandse vorderingen. Het probleem was ernstiger in de VS, met 5,1% binnenlandse en 6,6% buitenlandse niet-geïnde vorderingen, dan in Canada, waar 4,8% van de binnenlandse en 5,8% van de buitenlandse vorderingen oninbaar waren.

Over het algemeen ligt in Noord-Amerika het percentage te late vorderingen, in 2012 t.o.v. 2011, niet zo veel hoger, maar een groter deel van deze achterstallige vorderingen staan langer uit, wat resulteert in betalingsproblemen. Het gevolg is dat de gemiddelde Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) in de hele regio ook omhoog kruipt. Ongeveer 23,3% van de respondenten heeft een toename van hun DSO ervaren gedurende de afgelopen 12 maanden ten opzichte van 7,8% van de respondenten voor wie de DSO daalde. De gemiddelde DSO voor de regio is 42,7 dagen. De gemiddelde betalingstermijn van 34,3 dagen werd dus overschreden met 8 dagen. Mexico had de hoogste gemiddelde DSO, met 50,7 dagen, gevolgd door de VS, met 38,0 dagen en Canada met 36,8 dagen.

Christophe Cherry, Country Director Atradius België-Luxemburg verklaart: "De Verenigde Staten zijn de eerste bestemming buiten Europa voor de Belgische export. In 2011 helde de commerciële balans tussen beide landen zelfs over in het voordeel van België. Meer dan de helft van de export betreft chemische producten, meer bepaald medicijnen. Maar betalingsrisico is dus wel degelijk aanwezig, wat ook de sector is, en Belgische ondernemingen dienen zich te beschermen tegen onbetaalde facturen. Het stijgende aantal wanbetalers benadrukt dat dit nog steeds een zeer onstabiele periode is in de economische cyclus. Bedrijfsfaillissementen komen nog steeds vaak voor omdat bedrijven vaak te agressief groei nastreven en daarbij de vraag aan het begin van deze periode van herstel overschatten."

Andreas Tesch, CMO van Atradius NV, voegt toe: "Faillissementen in de Verenigde Staten zijn in de afgelopen twee jaar afgenomen. De antwoorden op de enquête, die een toename laten zien van oninbare vorderingen, benadrukken het feit dat lagere insolventietarieven zich niet noodzakelijk vertalen in minder wanbetalingen. Het benadrukt daarentegen het belang van zorgvuldigheid (due diligence) en bescherming tegen wanbetalingen."
