8 New Working Capital Strategy
We decided to shift our transaction business from an operational focus to value- added working capital solutions From… …To Focusing on ‘value-added’ working capital solutions as it is more valuable to clients and more profitable for AA Increasing demand from clients to unlock cash to fund capital expenditure and reduce borrowing costs European clients’ needs are underserved as there is currently no home-grown European working capital offer The working capital proposition combines our strength in transaction annuity flows with our strong FX and debt products and will allow us to leverage our client base across SBUs Platform for future competitive advantage and hence profitable growth Operational focus where the game is primarily about reducing unit cost (through building scale and consolidating) ahead of market driven price reductions Not ultimately value maximising for AA
