American Woodmark Corporation (AMWD)

The number of days of payables for American Woodmark Corporation has exhibited notable fluctuations over the period from April 2021 through April 2025. As of April 30, 2021, the company maintained an average payables period of approximately 23.47 days. This increased slightly to 24.94 days by April 30, 2022, indicating a marginal lengthening in the company's payment cycle to suppliers.

However, a significant reduction occurred by April 30, 2023, with the payables period declining markedly to 13.65 days. This suggests a period of relatively faster payment to creditors during that year. Contrasting this trend, the payables period then increased again to 16.01 days as of April 30, 2024, implying a slight extension in the company's payment timeline but not returning to the earlier levels observed in 2021 and 2022.

By April 30, 2025, the number of days of payables had risen substantially to 36.86 days. This substantial increase indicates an elongation in the company's typical payment cycle, potentially reflecting strategic changes, shifts in supplier terms, or cash flow management policies. Overall, the trend showcases variability, with a recent significant uptick in payable days, which may warrant further investigation into the company's liquidity management and supplier relationships.
