Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-12-31).
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibited an overall decreasing trend from 1.99 in 2018 to 1.25 in 2022. A peak occurred in 2020 at 2.26, indicating relatively stronger short-term liquidity that year. However, the ratio declined significantly in the subsequent years, reaching its lowest point in 2022, suggesting a gradual weakening in the company's ability to cover current liabilities with current assets.
- Quick Ratio
- The quick ratio followed a similar pattern to the current ratio. Beginning at 1.48 in 2018, it decreased slightly in 2019 to 1.39 before rising markedly to 1.97 in 2020, which implies an increase in liquid assets excluding inventories. After 2020, the ratio declined steadily to 1.04 by the end of 2022, indicating reduced liquidity excluding inventory and potentially tighter short-term financial conditions.
- Cash Ratio
- The cash ratio showed a notable decline over the period. Starting at a relatively strong level of 1.08 in 2018, it decreased to 0.96 in 2019 and then increased to 1.55 in 2020, reaching its highest point during the period. Subsequently, it dropped sharply to 0.74 in 2021 and further to 0.47 in 2022. This trend suggests a reduction in the most liquid assets available to meet current obligations in the latter years, which could indicate increased reliance on receivables or inventory to cover short-term liabilities.
