Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31).
The operational activity ratios exhibit a period of significant deceleration in efficiency between early 2022 and late 2024, followed by a gradual recovery in the subsequent quarters. The overall trend is characterized by a substantial expansion of the working capital cycle, which peaked in late 2024 before beginning a downward trajectory toward the end of the observed period.
- Inventory Management
- Inventory turnover experienced a sharp decline from 1.27 in March 2022 to a low of 0.64 by June 2024, indicating a significant slowdown in inventory movement. This is mirrored by the average inventory processing period, which rose from 287 days to a peak of 573 days. However, a recovery trend is observed starting in 2025, with turnover increasing to 0.83 and the processing period dropping to 439 days by September 2026.
- Receivables and Collection Efficiency
- Receivables turnover declined from 3.41 in early 2022 to a stabilized range between 2.23 and 2.60. Consequently, the average receivable collection period lengthened from 107 days to a peak of 164 days. The collection period remained relatively volatile but consistently higher than the baseline, suggesting a structural shift in the timing of cash inflows from customers.
- Payables and Supplier Obligations
- A consistent downward trend in payables turnover is observed, moving from 5.39 to 2.11. This corresponds to a marked increase in the average payables payment period, which grew from 68 days to 173 days. This trend indicates a strategic or operational shift toward extending payment terms with suppliers to preserve cash.
- Working Capital and Cycle Analysis
- The operating cycle reached a maximum of 734 days in September 2024, driven primarily by the surge in inventory processing times. While the cash conversion cycle peaked at 640 days in the same period, it subsequently improved to 430 days by September 2026. This improvement was facilitated by both the recovery in inventory turnover and the continued extension of the payables payment period. Working capital turnover, after dipping to 0.82 in December 2023, recovered to 1.16 by the end of the period, reflecting a moderate return to previous levels of asset utilization.

An analysis of inventory management efficiency reveals a distinct three-phase trajectory characterized by an initial sharp decline, a prolonged period of stabilization, and a recent upward recovery trend in turnover velocity.
- Inventory Turnover Volatility
- A significant reduction in the inventory turnover ratio is observed during the first year of the period, falling from 1.27 in March 2022 to 0.65 by December 2022. This decline indicates a slowing of inventory movement relative to the cost of revenues, suggesting that stock accumulation outpaced the rate of consumption or sale during this timeframe.
- Stabilization Period
- Between December 2022 and March 2025, the inventory turnover ratio entered a phase of relative stagnation, fluctuating within a narrow band between 0.63 and 0.72. During this period, inventories grew steadily from approximately 2.4 billion USD to a peak of 3.2 billion USD. The stability of the ratio suggests that the cost of revenues increased at a rate roughly proportional to the expansion of inventory holdings, maintaining a consistent, albeit lower, level of operational efficiency.
- Recent Efficiency Gains
- Starting in March 2025, a gradual improvement in inventory turnover is evident, with the ratio rising from 0.63 to 0.83 by September 2026. This recovery is supported by a strategic reduction in total inventory levels, which decreased from a peak of 3.25 billion USD in September 2025 to 2.89 billion USD by September 2026, while cost of revenues remained at elevated levels compared to the 2022 baseline.
- Correlation Between Cost of Revenues and Stock Levels
- The overall trend shows that while the cost of revenues experienced periodic spikes—most notably in December 2025—the inventory levels followed a more linear growth path until mid-2025. The late-period increase in the turnover ratio indicates a successful realignment of inventory buffers with actual revenue costs, reducing the amount of capital tied up in non-productive stock.

An analysis of the operating activity ratios indicates a period of significant revenue expansion accompanied by a shift in receivables management efficiency. While total revenues exhibited a long-term upward trajectory, moving from 2,965,100 thousand USD in March 2022 to 5,115,800 thousand USD by September 2026, the efficiency of converting these sales into cash experienced an initial decline followed by a period of relative stability.
- Revenue and Receivables Growth
- A consistent increase in scale is observed across both top-line revenue and net accounts receivable. Total revenues grew by approximately 72% over the analyzed period. Simultaneously, net accounts receivable rose from 4,839,000 thousand USD to 7,578,600 thousand USD. The growth in receivables generally tracks the growth in revenue, though periodic contractions in receivable balances occurred every March (2023, 2024, and 2025), suggesting cyclical settlement patterns or year-end adjustments.
- Receivables Turnover Volatility
- The receivables turnover ratio underwent a marked decline during the first year of the observation period, falling from a peak of 3.41 in March 2022 to 2.28 by December 2022. Following this initial drop, the ratio entered a phase of consolidation, fluctuating within a narrow band between 2.27 and 2.60 for several years. This indicates that the company transitioned to a new baseline for its collection cycle, which remained largely consistent regardless of the increase in total sales volume.
- Collection Efficiency and Recent Trends
- The stabilization of the turnover ratio between 2023 and early 2026 suggests a disciplined approach to credit management amidst business growth. However, a downward trend re-emerged in the final quarters of the period, with the ratio declining from 2.60 in March 2026 to 2.23 in September 2026. This recent decline coincides with the most aggressive growth in revenues and receivables, suggesting that the growth in outstanding receivables is currently outpacing the growth in sales, potentially leading to a longer average collection period.

The analysis of short-term operating activity reveals a significant long-term decline in the payables turnover ratio over the observed period. From a peak of 5.39 in March 2022, the ratio decreased to 2.11 by September 2026, indicating a slower rate of supplier payment and an increase in the average time taken to settle obligations.
- Payables Turnover Trajectory
- A sharp initial decline is noted throughout 2022, where the ratio fell from 5.39 to 2.65. While a moderate recovery occurred during the first three quarters of 2023, peaking at 3.43 in September 2023, the ratio entered a sustained downward trend from December 2023 onward, eventually fluctuating between 2.03 and 2.24 during the final year of the sequence.
- Accounts Payable Expansion
- There is a pronounced increase in total accounts payable, which grew from 470.3 million US dollars in March 2022 to 1.14 billion US dollars by September 2026. This expansion in liabilities outpaced the growth of operational costs, contributing directly to the compression of the turnover ratio.
- Cost of Revenues Correlation
- Cost of revenues exhibited a general upward trend, increasing from 404.9 million US dollars in March 2022 to a peak of 669.4 million US dollars in March 2026. However, because the growth in payables was disproportionately higher than the increase in the cost of revenues, the efficiency of payables turnover diminished over the timeframe.

The analysis of short-term operating activity reveals a cyclical pattern in working capital management and a significant expansion in revenue generation over the period from March 2022 to September 2026.
- Working Capital Trends
- Working capital experienced a sustained increase during the first two years, rising from 11,298,400 thousand US$ in March 2022 to a peak of 16,055,800 thousand US$ by December 2023. Following this peak, a period of contraction was observed, with values descending to 12,915,400 thousand US$ in June 2026, before trending upward again to 14,593,000 thousand US$ by September 2026.
- Revenue Performance
- Revenues remained relatively stable between 2.8 billion and 3.4 billion US$ through 2022 and 2023. A clear growth trajectory emerged starting in 2024, characterized by a substantial acceleration in the final quarters of the period. This trend culminated in a peak of 5,115,800 thousand US$ in September 2026, representing a significant increase in top-line performance compared to the start of the period.
- Working Capital Turnover Analysis
- The working capital turnover ratio exhibited a distinct U-shaped trend. The ratio declined from an initial 1.46 in March 2022 to a minimum of 0.82 in December 2023, indicating a period where the growth of working capital outpaced revenue growth, thereby reducing operational efficiency. Subsequently, the ratio recovered as revenue growth accelerated and working capital levels were optimized, reaching a peak of 1.20 by June 2026. The final reading of 1.16 in September 2026 suggests a stabilized level of efficiency in utilizing short-term resources to generate sales.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Average inventory processing period = 365 ÷ Inventory turnover
= 365 ÷ 0.83 = 439
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis reveals a distinct three-phase cycle in inventory management efficiency, characterized by an initial sharp increase in holding times, a prolonged period of stagnation, and a subsequent recovery toward higher turnover rates.
- Inventory Turnover Trends
- A significant contraction in turnover is observed from March 31, 2022, to December 31, 2022, where the ratio declined from 1.27 to 0.65. Following this decline, the ratio entered a period of relative stability, fluctuating within a narrow range between 0.63 and 0.72 from 2023 through 2024. An upward trajectory emerged in early 2026, with the ratio improving to 0.83 by September 30, 2026.
- Average Inventory Processing Period
- The duration required to process inventory experienced a sharp escalation during 2022, increasing from 287 days to 562 days. This elevated processing period persisted for several years, peaking at 582 days in March 2025. A corrective trend began in early 2026, resulting in a steady reduction of the processing period to 439 days by the final reporting date.
- Operational Efficiency Insights
- A strong inverse correlation is evident between the turnover ratio and the processing period. The peak in processing days aligns with the lowest turnover values, indicating a period of diminished efficiency in inventory movement. The trend observed in 2026 suggests a recovery in operational velocity, as the reduction in processing days coincides with the rise in the inventory turnover ratio.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Average receivable collection period = 365 ÷ Receivables turnover
= 365 ÷ 2.23 = 164
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
An analysis of the average receivable collection period reveals a significant initial increase in the time required to convert receivables into cash, followed by a prolonged period of relative stability at a higher operational baseline.
- Initial Trend Expansion (2022)
- During the 2022 calendar year, there was a consistent upward trajectory in the average receivable collection period, which rose from 107 days in March to 160 days by December. This expansion is mirrored by a decline in the receivables turnover ratio, which fell from 3.41 to 2.28, indicating a marked reduction in the efficiency of credit collection during this period.
- Stabilization Phase (2023–2025)
- Between March 2023 and December 2025, the collection period entered a phase of stabilization, generally oscillating within a range of 144 to 161 days. Despite minor quarterly fluctuations—such as the dip to 144 days observed in March 2024 and June 2025—the duration remained elevated compared to the early 2022 levels, suggesting that the longer collection cycle became the new operational norm.
- Recent Volatility and Peak Duration (2026)
- Data from 2026 indicates renewed volatility in receivables management. After a decrease to 140 days in March 2026, the collection period climbed to 164 days by September 2026. This represents the highest collection duration within the analyzed timeframe, coinciding with the lowest recorded receivables turnover ratio of 2.23.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Operating cycle = Average inventory processing period + Average receivable collection period
= 439 + 164 = 603
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the operating cycle reveals a significant expansion in the timeframe required to convert assets into cash, followed by a prolonged period of high stability and a subsequent contraction beginning in 2026.
- Average Inventory Processing Period
- A sharp upward trend is observed from March 2022, where the period stood at 287 days, increasing to 562 days by December 2022. From March 2023 through December 2025, the processing period entered a plateau phase, fluctuating between 508 and 582 days. A definitive downward trend emerged in 2026, with the period decreasing to 439 days by September 2026, indicating a acceleration in inventory turnover.
- Average Receivable Collection Period
- The collection period experienced an initial increase from 107 days in March 2022 to 160 days by December 2022. Subsequent to this increase, the metric remained relatively stable, oscillating within a range of 140 to 164 days through September 2026. This pattern suggests a consistent credit and collection policy over the analyzed period, with no significant long-term volatility after the 2022 adjustment.
- Operating Cycle Synthesis
- The total operating cycle was primarily driven by the volatility in inventory processing. The cycle lengthened from 394 days in March 2022 to a peak of 734 days in September 2024. After maintaining a high average above 700 days for several quarters, the cycle began to compress in 2026, falling to 603 days by September 2026. This reduction is attributable to the improvement in inventory processing times, as receivable collection periods remained comparatively flat.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Average payables payment period = 365 ÷ Payables turnover
= 365 ÷ 2.11 = 173
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
An analysis of the operating activity ratios from March 2022 through September 2026 reveals a consistent expansion of the company's payables payment cycle. This trend is characterized by a steady decline in the payables turnover ratio, which inversely correlates with a substantial increase in the number of days required to settle obligations to suppliers.
- Payables Turnover Trends
- A general downward trajectory is observed in the payables turnover ratio, which began at a high of 5.39 in March 2022 and declined to 2.11 by September 2026. Although temporary recoveries occurred—most notably in June 2024 when the ratio rose to 3.32—the overarching trend indicates a slowing frequency of supplier payments over the analyzed period.
- Average Payables Payment Period Expansion
- The average period for settling payables experienced significant growth, increasing from 68 days in March 2022 to a peak of 180 days in June 2026. This represents more than a twofold increase in the time taken to pay creditors, suggesting a strategic shift in working capital management to preserve cash flow or an adjustment in supplier credit terms.

- The payment period can be categorized into three distinct phases: an initial rapid extension from 68 to 138 days by December 2022; a period of volatility between 2023 and 2024 where the cycle fluctuated between 94 and 146 days; and a final phase of sustained lengthening starting in 2025, where the period remained consistently above 129 days and reached its maximum of 180 days in mid-2026.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Cash conversion cycle = Average inventory processing period + Average receivable collection period – Average payables payment period
= 439 + 164 – 173 = 430
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The cash conversion cycle exhibits a period of significant expansion followed by a gradual contraction. From March 2022 to September 2024, the cycle lengthened substantially, peaking at 640 days. Since that peak, there has been a consistent downward trend, with the cycle reducing to 430 days by September 2026, indicating an improvement in the efficiency of working capital management.
- Average Inventory Processing Period
- Inventory holding times experienced a dramatic increase during the first half of the analyzed period, rising from 287 days in March 2022 to a peak of 582 days in March 2025. This represents a doubling of the time required to move inventory. However, a corrective trend emerged thereafter, with the period declining to 439 days by September 2026, suggesting a successful effort to optimize stock levels or an increase in sales velocity.
- Average Receivable Collection Period
- The collection of receivables shows a general upward trajectory, increasing from 107 days in March 2022 to 164 days by September 2026. While there were periods of stabilization between 140 and 160 days starting in 2023, the overall trend indicates a gradual slowdown in the conversion of credit sales into cash, which has acted as a persistent upward pressure on the total cash conversion cycle.
- Average Payables Payment Period
- The payment period for payables has expanded significantly, moving from 68 days in March 2022 to a high of 180 days in June 2026. This trend indicates a strategic shift toward extending payment terms with suppliers. This extension has served as a critical offset to the long inventory and receivable periods, effectively financing a portion of the operating cycle through supplier credit.
- Aggregate Cash Conversion Cycle Analysis
- The overall cash conversion cycle was primarily driven by the surge in inventory processing times between 2022 and 2024. The peak of 640 days in September 2024 highlights a period of maximum liquidity strain. The subsequent reduction to 430 days by late 2026 is the result of a dual effect: a meaningful reduction in inventory days and a simultaneous increase in the payables payment period, which combined to accelerate the overall return of cash to the organization.
