- Receivables Turnover
- The receivables turnover ratio shows fluctuations over the observed periods, beginning at 5.21 in March 2020, declining to a low of 4.19 by December 2020, then rebounding to a high of 9.09 in December 2023. This indicates variability in the efficiency with which the company collects receivables, with periods of slower collection followed by improved performance towards the end of the timeline.
- Payables Turnover
- The payables turnover ratio exhibits more volatility, ranging from a peak of 31.51 in June 2020 to a low of 8.21 in June 2022. After this low point, the ratio generally increases, reaching around 25.83 in December 2023 before declining again. This suggests significant changes in the company's payment practices, possibly reflecting adjustments in supplier management or cash flow strategies.
- Working Capital Turnover
- Working capital turnover shows a slight downward trend initially, moving from 2.12 in June 2020 to a low of 1.7 in June 2021, then recovering somewhat to 2.09 in March 2022. The data after this point is missing, which limits further trend analysis for this metric. The initial decline may indicate a reduced efficiency in using working capital to generate sales during that period.
- Average Receivable Collection Period
- The average receivable collection period ranges from 87 days in December 2020 to a low of 40 days in December 2023. The trend indicates improvement in collection efficiency over time, especially noticeable after the peak in late 2020, signifying that the company has increasingly accelerated its cash inflows from customer receivables.
- Average Payables Payment Period
- The average payables payment period increases sharply from 16 days in March 2020 to 44 days in June 2022, reflecting a longer time taken to pay suppliers. Subsequently, this period shortens, dropping to about 14 days by September 2023 before slightly fluctuating. This pattern reflects a shift in payment policy, possibly balancing supplier relations with internal cash preservation needs.

- Net Revenue Trends
- The net revenue exhibits a generally upward trajectory across the reported periods, starting at approximately 540 million US dollars in mid-2019 and culminating at over 1.5 billion US dollars by early 2025. Notable increases occur between mid-2021 and the end of 2022, where values rise from around 813 million to nearly 1.4 billion US dollars. This growth indicates a strengthening revenue base. However, some fluctuations are observed, such as a slight decline between mid-2023 and early 2024, followed by a resurgence thereafter. These variances may reflect seasonal or market-driven influences impacting revenue generation.
- Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances
- Accounts receivable amounts demonstrate significant variability, without a consistent upward or downward pattern. For instance, values initially increase sharply from about 353 million US dollars in mid-2019 to over 858 million shortly thereafter, followed by declines and rebounds throughout subsequent quarters. This volatility suggests changes in credit terms, collection performance, or sales mix over time. The peaks and troughs in receivables seem somewhat disconnected from steady revenue growth, indicating potential shifts in working capital management efficiency or customer payment behavior.
- Receivables Turnover Ratio
- The receivables turnover ratio, calculated for the later periods, ranges mostly between 4.27 and 9.09, illustrating fluctuations in how rapidly receivables are collected. A general positive trend is observed with ratios improving from mid-2020 to the most recent quarters. Higher turnover ratios above 7.0 suggest enhanced collection efficiency and potentially stronger cash flow management. Occasional dips to levels near 4.2 highlight periods of slower collection, which may warrant closer monitoring. Overall, the increasing turnover trend aligns with sound credit control practices during the analyzed timeframe.
- Interrelation and Operational Insight
- The combination of increasing net revenue and improving receivables turnover implies that the company has been effectively scaling its operations while maintaining or enhancing its collection efficiency. The irregularities in the accounts receivable balances hint at episodic changes in credit policy application or shifts in customer payment patterns, but these do not appear to impede overall financial performance substantially. Continuous improvement in turnover ratios, especially reaching values near 9, reflects positively on operational liquidity and working capital management capabilities.

- Cost of Revenue
- The cost of revenue exhibits considerable variability across the analyzed quarters. Starting at $241,469 thousand in June 2019, it peaked notably in September 2022 at $713,900 thousand. After this peak, a sharp rise continued into March 2023, reaching $1,223,100 thousand. Subsequently, there is observed volatility with declines and increases, including a significant drop to $567,100 thousand in June 2024 before rising again to $779,200 thousand in March 2025. Overall, the trend shows increased cost levels in recent periods compared to the earlier years, indicating possible expansion in operations or increased expenses related to revenue-generating activities.
- Accounts Payable
- Accounts payable values show a general upward trend with fluctuations. Starting from $55,379 thousand in June 2019, the figures rose to a high of $199,900 thousand by June 2022. After this peak, the sustainable levels fluctuated, with a gradual decline to $127,500 thousand in June 2023, followed by increases and decreases, settling at $194,700 thousand in March 2025. The pattern indicates periods of both increase in outstanding payables and partial reductions, which may reflect changes in payment practices or variations in supplier credit terms over time.
- Payables Turnover
- Although data points for the earliest quarters are missing, the payables turnover ratio begins at 23.48 in December 2019 and demonstrates a declining trend through most of 2021, reaching a low around 8.21 in September 2022. Thereafter, the ratio increased significantly, peaking at approximately 25.83 by September 2023, then gradually decreasing to 13.21 by March 2025. This movement suggests fluctuating efficiency in managing payables, with periods of slower turnover implying longer payment cycles or delays and periods of higher turnover indicating more rapid payment to suppliers.
- Overall Insights
- The concurrent examination of cost of revenue and accounts payable suggests that as the company's costs increased substantially in certain periods, accounts payable also saw corresponding growth but with some lag and fluctuations. This pattern implies that the company might be leveraging credit facilities or managing payment terms strategically in response to rising operational costs. The variability in payables turnover reinforces this observation, highlighting changing dynamics in cash flow management and supplier relationships.

- Working Capital
- The working capital demonstrated a positive growth trend from June 2019 until March 2022, increasing from approximately 879 million USD to around 1.77 billion USD. However, beginning from June 2022, there is a significant reversal in this trend with working capital turning negative. The values fluctuate largely in the negative range between -250.7 million USD to -1.35 billion USD through to March 2025, indicating possible liquidity challenges or substantial increases in current liabilities relative to current assets during this later period.
- Net Revenue
- Net revenue experienced a general upward movement over the entire period. Starting at 540 million USD in June 2019, revenues increased with some fluctuations to peak at 1.58 billion USD by March 2025. Notably, there was a consistent rise particularly from June 2021 onwards, reaching above 1.4 billion USD and continuing toward 1.58 billion USD, suggesting strong sales growth or improved market conditions during recent quarters.
- Working Capital Turnover
- Working capital turnover ratios, available only for the period from March 2020 to June 2022, fluctuated between approximately 1.7 and 2.2. This ratio initially indicated efficient use of working capital to generate revenue, with peaks early in 2020. Slight decreases followed, falling closer to 1.7 by mid-2021, before marginal recovery. The absence of data beyond mid-2022 coincides with the sharp deterioration of working capital, implying possible issues with operational efficiency or capital structure adjustments affecting turnover measurements after this date.
- Overall Analysis
- There is a clear divergence between working capital and net revenue starting in mid-2022, with working capital sharply declining and turning negative, while net revenue continues to grow steadily. This divergence suggests increasing operational or financial strain, potentially due to rapid expansion, elevated current liabilities, or strategic investments requiring further analysis. The earlier period demonstrated stable working capital management and revenue growth, with reasonably consistent working capital turnover ratios indicating efficient capital use during those quarters.

The analysis of the receivables turnover ratio over the periods from March 31, 2020, through March 31, 2025, reveals a fluctuating but generally increasing trend. The ratio started at 5.21 in March 2020, saw some decline reaching a low of 4.19 by December 2020, and subsequently experienced an upward movement with peaks such as 8.89 in December 2022. After some variability, it remained relatively strong, ending at 7.31 by March 2025. This indicates an overall improvement in the company's efficiency in collecting receivables, with more frequent collection periods throughout recent quarters.
Correspondingly, the average receivable collection period, which measures the number of days required to collect receivables, shows an inverse pattern. Beginning at 70 days in March 2020, the collection period increased to a peak of 87 days by December 2020. Afterward, the trend generally declined, reaching a low of 40 days in September 2024. Although there were some increases in certain quarters, the general movement towards a shorter collection period aligns with the improvement noted in the receivables turnover ratio.
- Receivables Turnover Ratio
- Started at 5.21 in early 2020 and fluctuated to as low as 4.19 by late 2020, reflecting some inefficiencies in receivables management during that period.
- Subsequent quarters demonstrated a marked improvement, with peaks including 8.89 in late 2022, indicating more efficient and rapid collection processes.
- The ratio remained strong and consistent through early 2025, suggesting sustained operational improvements.
- Average Receivable Collection Period
- Initially increased to 87 days by late 2020, pointing to delays in collecting receivables during that timeframe.
- Demonstrated a downward trend after the peak, declining to as low as 40 days by late 2024, which corresponds with improved receivables turnover.
- Shows some volatility in collection times in recent quarters but overall reflects quicker collection relative to earlier periods.
Overall, the data indicates that the company has enhanced its credit and collection management practices since 2020. The improvements are evident in both the increasing frequency of receivable collections and the decreasing number of days to collect outstanding receivables. This trend likely contributes positively to the company’s liquidity and operational efficiency.

1 Q4 2025 Calculation
Average payables payment period = 365 ÷ Payables turnover
= 365 ÷ 13.21 = 28
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The payables turnover ratio exhibits notable fluctuations over the observed periods. Initially, starting from the data available in March 2020, the ratio peaks at 31.51 in September 2020, indicating a relatively high frequency of accounts payable cycles during this quarter. However, this is followed by a general gradual decline through 2021 and into 2022, reaching a low of 8.21 in June 2022. Subsequently, the turnover ratio recovers somewhat, reaching levels above 20 in several quarters including December 2022, June 2023, and September 2023, before again showing a downward trend in the latest periods, ending at 13.21 in March 2025. This pattern suggests variability in the company's efficiency in managing its payables over time, with periods of both quick payments and slower turnover cycles.
Correspondingly, the average payables payment period reflects an inverse relationship to the payables turnover ratio. From March 2020 onwards, the payment period ranges from 12 to 44 days, with the lowest values observed during mid-2020 (12 days) and the highest in June 2022 (44 days). Generally, the trend displays an increase in the payment period from late 2020 through mid-2022, aligning with the lower turnover ratios in the same timeframe. Following this peak, the payment period decreases to around two to three weeks through late 2022 and mid-2023, indicative of quicker payments during these months. However, towards the end of the timeline, the payment days again prolong, reaching 28 days in March 2025.
Overall, the data reveals fluctuating patterns in accounts payable management, alternating between periods of rapid payment processing and intervals where payables are held longer. These trends could imply varying operational or strategic priorities affecting cash flow management and supplier relations across different quarters. The inverse correlation between payables turnover ratio and average payment period is consistent and reinforces the interpretation of changes in payment behaviors over time.
