Short-term Activity Ratios (Summary)
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc., short-term (operating) activity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 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 demonstrate a significant expansion of the cash cycle between early 2022 and late 2024, followed by a period of gradual optimization through mid-2026. The most pronounced volatility is observed in inventory management and payables strategies, which heavily influenced the overall liquidity profile.
- Inventory and Receivables Management
- Inventory turnover experienced a sharp decline from 1.27 in March 2022 to a low of 0.63 by March 2025, indicating a substantial increase in the time required to move stock. However, a recovery trend emerged in early 2026, with the ratio rising to 0.76 by June 2026. Receivables turnover remained relatively stable after an initial decrease, fluctuating primarily between 2.30 and 2.60 throughout the latter half of the period, suggesting a consistent, albeit slower, collection cadence compared to the baseline in early 2022.
- Payables and Working Capital Efficiency
- A clear strategic trend is evident in the payables turnover, which declined steadily from 5.39 in March 2022 to 2.03 by June 2026. This indicates a deliberate extension of payment terms to suppliers. Working capital turnover followed a U-shaped trajectory, dropping from 1.46 to a trough of 0.82 in December 2023 before recovering to 1.20 by June 2026, reflecting improved efficiency in utilizing short-term assets and liabilities to generate revenue.
- Operational Cycle and Cash Conversion
- The operating cycle expanded drastically from 394 days in March 2022 to a peak of 734 days in September 2024, driven largely by the surge in the average inventory processing period, which reached 582 days in March 2025. Despite this, the cash conversion cycle was partially mitigated by the extended average payables payment period, which rose from 68 days to 180 days over the analyzed timeframe. Consequently, while the cash conversion cycle peaked at 640 days in September 2024, it contracted to 453 days by June 2026, coinciding with a reduction in inventory processing time to 479 days.

The inventory turnover ratio exhibited a significant downward trend throughout 2022, followed by a period of relative stability and a modest recovery toward mid-2026. The ratio decreased from a high of 1.27 in March 2022 to a low of 0.63 by March 2025, indicating a slowing of inventory movement relative to the cost of revenues during this timeframe.
- Cost of Revenues Trends
- Cost of revenues demonstrated overall growth with notable quarterly volatility. Starting at 404.9 million in March 2022, expenditures reached a peak of 669.4 million in March 2026. While there were periodic fluctuations, the long-term trajectory shows an increase in the total cost of goods sold, which typically supports a higher turnover ratio if inventory levels remain constant.
- Inventory Accumulation
- A consistent increase in inventory levels was observed between March 2022 and September 2025. Inventories rose from 1.99 billion to a peak of 3.25 billion. This steady accumulation of stock outpaced the growth in the cost of revenues during the initial period, contributing directly to the decline in the turnover ratio.
- Inventory Turnover Efficiency
- The turnover ratio experienced a sharp contraction during 2022, falling from 1.27 to 0.65 by December 2022. For the subsequent two years, the ratio remained largely stagnant, fluctuating within a narrow range between 0.63 and 0.72. A positive reversal began in early 2026, as the ratio climbed to 0.76 by June 2026. This improvement coincided with a peak in cost of revenues and a simultaneous contraction in inventory levels, which decreased from 3.20 billion in December 2025 to 3.08 billion in June 2026.
The data suggests a strategic or operational shift toward higher inventory buffers through 2025, which temporarily reduced turnover efficiency. The recovery observed in the first half of 2026 indicates a shift toward more efficient inventory management or an increase in product demand that accelerated the movement of existing stock.

An examination of the short-term operating activity reveals a general upward trajectory in both revenue and net accounts receivable over the analyzed period, accompanied by a significant initial decline and subsequent stabilization of the receivables turnover ratio.
- Revenue and Accounts Receivable Trends
- Revenues demonstrated a consistent long-term increase, rising from 2,965,100 thousand US dollars in March 2022 to a peak of 4,290,700 thousand US dollars by June 2026. This growth was mirrored by net accounts receivable, which increased from 4,839,000 thousand US dollars to 6,565,400 thousand US dollars over the same timeframe. Periodic fluctuations are observed, particularly in March of 2023, 2024, and 2025, where both revenues and receivables experienced temporary contractions before resuming their upward trend.
- Receivables Turnover Ratio Analysis
- The receivables turnover ratio underwent a marked transition. In the first year of the period, a sharp downward trend was observed, with the ratio falling from 3.41 in March 2022 to 2.28 by December 2022. Following this initial decline, the ratio entered a phase of relative stability, fluctuating within a narrow band between 2.27 and 2.60 for the remainder of the observed period. The lowest efficiency point was recorded in September 2024 at 2.27, while a slight recovery to 2.60 occurred in March 2026 before settling at 2.37 in June 2026.
- Operational Efficiency and Collection Insights
- The shift in the turnover ratio suggests a fundamental change in the company's collection cycle or credit terms between early 2022 and early 2023. The initial decrease indicates a slower conversion of accounts receivable into cash relative to sales. However, the subsequent stabilization suggests that the organization has established a new operational baseline for its credit management. Despite the substantial growth in total revenue, the ability to turn over receivables has remained constant since 2023, indicating that the growth in receivables is scaling proportionally with the growth in sales.

An analysis of the operating activity ratios reveals a consistent long-term decline in the payables turnover ratio, falling from 5.39 in the first quarter of 2022 to 2.03 by the second quarter of 2026. This trajectory indicates a slowing rate of payment to suppliers and an extension of the cash conversion cycle relative to accounts payable.
- Payables Turnover Trends
- The payables turnover ratio experienced a sharp initial contraction during 2022, dropping from 5.39 in March to 2.65 by December. Following this period, the ratio entered a phase of moderate volatility between early 2023 and late 2024, fluctuating between a low of 2.50 and a peak of 3.87. However, starting in 2025, a secondary sustained decline is observed, with the ratio reaching its lowest historical point of 2.03 in June 2026.
- Accounts Payable Growth
- A significant increase in the absolute volume of accounts payable is evident. Liabilities grew from 470.3 million US dollars in March 2022 to 1.159 billion US dollars by June 2026. The most aggressive expansion occurred between December 2024 and June 2026, where payable balances rose from 789.5 million to 1.159 billion US dollars, contributing directly to the reduction in the turnover ratio.
- Cost of Revenues Correlation
- While the cost of revenues generally trended upward, increasing from 404.9 million US dollars in March 2022 to a peak of 669.4 million US dollars in March 2026, the growth in accounts payable significantly outpaced the growth in operational costs. This divergence suggests that the company is increasingly leveraging supplier credit to finance its operations rather than the decline being a result of proportional increases in purchasing volume.
- Operational Implications
- The downward trend in the turnover ratio implies a shift in working capital management. By extending the time taken to settle obligations with vendors, the company has effectively increased its available cash flow from operations. The transition from a ratio of 5.39 to 2.03 represents a substantial extension of the payment cycle over the analyzed period.

The analysis of short-term operating activity reveals a cyclical pattern in the utilization of working capital relative to revenue generation over the period from March 2022 to June 2026.
- Working Capital Trends
- Working capital exhibited a consistent upward trajectory during the first two years of the analyzed period, rising from 11.3 billion USD in March 2022 to a peak of 16.1 billion USD by December 2023. Following this peak, a corrective trend emerged, with working capital gradually declining to 12.9 billion USD by June 2026. This movement suggests an initial phase of liquidity accumulation followed by a period of strategic capital reduction or optimization.
- Revenue Growth Patterns
- Revenues demonstrated a general upward trend, characterized by moderate fluctuations. Starting at 2.97 billion USD in March 2022, revenues climbed to 4.29 billion USD by June 2026. The most significant acceleration in revenue growth occurred between March 2024 and June 2026, which played a critical role in enhancing the efficiency of the company's operating assets.
- Working Capital Turnover Analysis
- The working capital turnover ratio followed a U-shaped trajectory. The ratio began at a high of 1.46 in March 2022 but experienced a steady decline, reaching a trough of 0.82 in December 2023. This contraction in the ratio was primarily driven by the fact that the increase in working capital outpaced the growth in revenues. However, a recovery phase began in early 2024, with the ratio climbing steadily to 1.20 by June 2026. This recovery reflects a more efficient deployment of short-term assets to drive sales growth.
The convergence of increasing revenues and decreasing working capital in the latter half of the period indicates an improvement in operational efficiency. The return of the turnover ratio toward its initial levels suggests a transition from a period of high liquidity and lower asset utilization to a more balanced operational structure.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Average receivable collection period = 365 ÷ Receivables turnover
= 365 ÷ 2.37 = 154
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
An analysis of the receivables activity reveals a distinct shift in collection efficiency beginning in early 2022, followed by a period of relative stabilization across subsequent fiscal quarters. The data indicates a notable deceleration in the speed at which outstanding receivables are converted into cash during the first year of the observed period, with efficiency levels remaining lower than initial benchmarks through mid-2026.
- Receivables Turnover Ratio
- A significant decline in the receivables turnover ratio is observed during the 2022 calendar year, falling from a peak of 3.41 in March 2022 to 2.28 by December 2022. Following this initial contraction, the ratio entered a phase of volatility with a narrow trading range, generally fluctuating between 2.27 and 2.60. The ratio concluded the period at 2.37 in June 2026, reflecting a sustained reduction in turnover efficiency compared to the baseline established at the start of the analysis.
- Average Receivable Collection Period
- The average receivable collection period exhibited a sharp upward trend throughout 2022, increasing from 107 days in March to 160 days by December. This suggests a substantial extension in the time required to collect payments from customers. From 2023 through mid-2026, the collection period stabilized but remained elevated, consistently oscillating between 140 and 161 days. A temporary improvement was noted in March 2026, where the period dropped to 140 days, before returning to 154 days by June 2026.
The inverse correlation between the turnover ratio and the collection period confirms a structural change in the operating cycle. The transition from a collection cycle of approximately 107 days to a sustained average exceeding 140 days indicates a permanent shift in the timing of cash inflows relative to revenue recognition. While the volatility decreased after 2022, the inability to return to the original collection speeds suggests a change in customer payment behavior or a modification in credit terms.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Operating cycle = Average inventory processing period + Average receivable collection period
= 479 + 154 = 633
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The operating cycle demonstrates a significant expansion during the 2022 fiscal year, followed by a period of relative stability at an elevated level, and a subsequent contraction beginning in early 2026. The overall duration of the cycle is primarily driven by fluctuations in inventory management rather than changes in receivable collection efficiency.
- Average Inventory Processing Period
- A substantial increase is observed from March 31, 2022, where the period stood at 287 days, peaking at 562 days by December 31, 2022. Throughout 2023, 2024, and 2025, this metric remained consistently high, fluctuating between 508 and 582 days. A downward trend emerges in the first half of 2026, with the period decreasing to 479 days by June 30, 2026, suggesting an improvement in inventory turnover efficiency toward the end of the analyzed period.
- Average Receivable Collection Period
- The collection period experienced an initial rise from 107 days in March 2022 to a peak of 160 days in December 2022. Following this increase, the period stabilized, generally fluctuating within a range of 140 to 161 days through June 2026. The relative stability of this metric indicates a consistent approach to credit management and collections, contributing a steady component to the total operating cycle.
- Operating Cycle
- The total operating cycle reflects the additive effects of inventory and receivable periods, rising sharply from 394 days in March 2022 to 722 days by December 2022. This duration remained elevated for several years, peaking at 734 days in September 2024. A notable reduction is observed in 2026, where the cycle decreased to 633 days by June 30, 2026. The correlation between the operating cycle and the inventory processing period is strong, confirming that inventory holding times are the primary variable influencing the company's short-term operating liquidity.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Average payables payment period = 365 ÷ Payables turnover
= 365 ÷ 2.03 = 180
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of short-term operating activity indicates a systemic extension of the time taken to settle obligations with suppliers over the observed period. There is a clear inverse relationship between the payables turnover ratio and the average payables payment period, reflecting a notable shift in working capital management.
- Payables Turnover Trends
- The payables turnover ratio exhibited significant volatility with a general downward trajectory. Starting at 5.39 in March 2022, the ratio declined to 2.65 by December 2022. Despite intermittent recoveries—most notably reaching 3.87 in September 2024—the ratio ultimately trended lower, reaching 2.03 by June 2026. This consistent decrease suggests a reduction in the frequency with which accounts payable are cleared during each reporting period.
- Average Payables Payment Period Analysis
- The average payables payment period demonstrates a substantial increase, ascending from 68 days in March 2022 to 180 days by June 2026. A primary acceleration occurred in late 2022, where the period increased to 138 days. While periodic fluctuations were observed between 2023 and 2024, including a local minimum of 94 days in September 2024, the trend shifted toward an aggressive extension of payment terms beginning in December 2024. The duration rose steadily throughout 2025, culminating in 180 days by the final quarter of the analysis.
- Working Capital Implications
- The expansion of the payment period from approximately 68 days to 180 days indicates a significant increase in the deferral of cash outflows. This pattern suggests a strategic move to optimize the cash conversion cycle by retaining liquidity for longer durations. The progression toward a six-month payment cycle indicates either a heightened reliance on supplier financing or the successful negotiation of more favorable credit terms with vendors.

The cash conversion cycle exhibits a period of significant expansion followed by a moderate contraction, peaking in late 2024 before trending downward through mid-2026. The overall liquidity cycle moved from 326 days in March 2022 to a high of 640 days in September 2024, eventually receding to 453 days by June 2026.
- Average Inventory Processing Period
- A substantial increase in inventory holding times is observed from March 2022 (287 days) through March 2025, where it reached a peak of 582 days. This indicates a significant slowing of inventory turnover during this three-year window. However, a corrective trend emerged in 2026, with the period declining to 479 days by June 2026, suggesting an improvement in inventory management or a shift in production and distribution efficiency.
- Average Receivable Collection Period
- The collection period experienced an initial rise from 107 days in March 2022 to a peak of 161 days in September 2024. Following this peak, the period remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow band between 140 and 154 days through June 2026. This stability suggests a consistent, albeit extended, credit policy for customers.
- Average Payables Payment Period
- A consistent upward trend is evident in the payment of obligations to suppliers. The period extended from 68 days in March 2022 to 180 days by June 2026. This strategic extension of payables has served as a critical counterbalance to the long inventory and receivable cycles, effectively preserving cash by delaying outflows.
The analysis indicates that the spike in the cash conversion cycle during 2023 and 2024 was primarily driven by the doubling of the inventory processing period. The subsequent reduction in the cycle throughout 2026 is attributed to both a decrease in inventory holding times and a continued extension of the payables payment period, resulting in a more favorable operational cash flow position compared to the 2024 peak.
