Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2015-12-26), 10-K (reporting date: 2014-12-27), 10-K (reporting date: 2013-12-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2012-12-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2011-12-31).


The inventory levels show variability over the five-year period under review. The amount increased from $273 million in 2011 to a peak of $313 million in 2012. Following this peak, a decline is observed, with inventories decreasing to $294 million in 2013 and then slightly rising again to $301 million in 2014. In the final year, 2015, inventories decreased notably to $229 million, marking the lowest level in the examined timeframe.

This pattern indicates that while the company initially increased its inventory holdings, likely to support higher sales or expansion efforts, it subsequently managed to reduce inventory levels, which could suggest improvements in inventory management or a response to changing market conditions. The significant reduction in 2015 may reflect strategic adjustments aimed at optimizing working capital or responding to sales fluctuations.
