Read the North row alongside the account breakdown below before drawing a regional conclusion: this is a concentration story, not a systemic slowdown in that region's chasing.
Two accounts hold most of the North region's overdue total. Both are past the final reminder stage and are now with the account owner rather than the automated schedule.
Revenue billed is invoice value raised within the quarter, exclusive of VAT. Average days to pay is the mean of (payment date minus due date) across invoices settled within the quarter, so a late invoice still paid this quarter counts, and one paid next quarter does not yet. Overdue balance is the outstanding value of invoices past their due date as at 30 June 2026.
The revised reminder schedule (first reminder seven days before the due date, rather than three) rolled out to 60% of accounts on 3 March 2026 and to the remainder on 14 April 2026. The 3.1-day improvement figure in the summary compares accounts on the new schedule for the full quarter against accounts still on the old one.
