The cash conversion cycle of Adapthealth Corp has exhibited fluctuations over the years. From 2020 to 2021, the cycle increased significantly from 14.46 days to 36.87 days, indicating a potential delay in converting investments into cash. This trend continued in 2022 and 2023 with the cycle extending to 37.17 days and 40.48 days, respectively.
However, there was a slight improvement in the cash conversion cycle in 2024, dropping to 29.87 days. This suggests that Adapthealth Corp may have managed its receivables, inventory, and payables more efficiently during that period.
Overall, the increasing trend in the cash conversion cycle from 2020 to 2023 raises concerns about the company's liquidity and operating efficiency. Monitoring and potentially optimizing the components of the cycle, such as managing inventory levels and collecting receivables more promptly, could help improve Adapthealth Corp's cash conversion cycle in the future.
