Customer Concentration Ratio (CCR) =

Measures the company's dependence on the top five customers. The higher the value, the higher the customer concentration. The company's bargaining power is relatively low and it may face a higher risk of customer churn.

Supplier Concentration Ratio (SCR) =

Measures the company's dependence on the top five suppliers. The higher the value, the higher the supplier concentration. The company's bargaining power is relatively low and it may face higher procurement cost risks.

Capital Occupation Ratio (COR) =

This indicator measures the capital occupation of upstream and downstream companies in the supply chain. It combines accounts payable, advances received, accounts receivable, prepaid accounts and inventory. A positive value means that the company occupies more funds from upstream and downstream companies, and may be in a favorable position in the supply chain; a negative value may mean that the company is occupied by funds from upstream and downstream companies.

Cash Flow to Profit Ratio (CFPR) =

Measures the company's ability to convert net profit into cash, excluding the impact of non-cash expenses (depreciation and amortization) and financial expenses. The higher the value, the higher the company's profit quality and the stronger the net cash flow generated by operating activities.

factor.explanation

Empirical research shows that: customer concentration and supplier concentration are both negative factors, reflecting the market's preference for companies with a higher degree of upstream and downstream dispersion in the supply chain; capital occupation level is a positive factor, indicating that companies that occupy more upstream and downstream funds tend to have more say in the supply chain; operating cash flow cash flow is a positive factor, indicating that the higher the quality of profitability of a company, the more stable its position in the supply chain.
