Short-term Activity Ratios (Summary)
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31).
The financial data presents several key trends over the five-year period ending in 2024, reflecting the company's operational efficiency and liquidity management.
- Inventory Turnover
- There is a clear downward trend in inventory turnover, decreasing steadily from 4.94 in 2020 to 3.7 in 2024. This suggests that the company is turning over its inventory less frequently, which is also supported by an increase in the average inventory processing period from 74 days in 2020 to 99 days in 2024.
- Receivables Turnover
- The receivables turnover ratio shows some fluctuation but remains relatively stable overall, moving from 4.78 in 2020 to 4.92 in 2024. Correspondingly, the average receivable collection period hovers around the mid-70s in days, with a slight decline from 76 days in 2020 to 74 days in 2024, indicating consistent efficiency in collecting receivables.
- Payables Turnover
- Payables turnover experiences minor variability, with a decline from 3.86 in 2020 to 3.4 in 2021, then a moderate recovery to 3.46 by 2024. The average payables payment period lengthens overall, increasing from 95 days in 2020 to around 105 days in 2024, suggesting a tendency to extend payment terms to suppliers.
- Working Capital Turnover
- Working capital turnover shows significant improvements from 3.64 in 2020 up to a peak of 7.39 in 2023, before declining to 5.79 in 2024. This indicates an overall enhancement in the efficient use of working capital, although the slight fall at the end may warrant further observation.
- Operating Cycle
- The operating cycle progressively lengthens, increasing from 150 days in 2020 to 173 days in 2023, and remaining stable into 2024. This extension reflects longer durations in inventory processing combined with stable receivable collection times.
- Cash Conversion Cycle
- The cash conversion cycle varies, decreasing from 55 days in 2020 to 50 days in 2021, then rising to 68 days in 2024. This rise indicates that the company is taking longer to convert its investments in inventory and other resources into cash, a possible concern for liquidity management.
In summary, the data indicates a weakening in inventory management efficiency and a lengthening cash conversion cycle, which could impact liquidity. Meanwhile, receivables collection remains consistent, and payables management shows a moderate increase in payment period. The improved working capital turnover suggests overall better utilization of working capital, despite some recent decline.
