The activity ratios of Academy Sports Outdoors Inc can provide insights into its operational efficiency and management of key operating assets. Let's analyze the activity ratios:
1. Inventory Turnover:
- The inventory turnover ratio measures how efficiently the company manages its inventory by indicating how many times in a period the inventory is sold and replaced.
- The trend shows a gradual decrease in inventory turnover from 4.47 on January 31, 2022, to 3.02 on January 31, 2025. This suggests that the company is holding onto inventory for a longer period, which could tie up working capital and lead to potential obsolescence or carrying costs.
2. Receivables Turnover:
- The receivables turnover ratio reflects how efficiently the company is collecting its accounts receivable within a given period.
- The data shows sporadic and incomplete information regarding receivables turnover, making it challenging to assess the trend accurately.
3. Payables Turnover:
- The payables turnover ratio indicates how quickly the company pays its suppliers. A higher turnover implies the company is paying its suppliers more frequently.
- The trend fluctuates but generally shows consistency in paying suppliers, with the highest turnover of 9.25 on February 3, 2024. This indicates good payment management and relationships with suppliers.
4. Working Capital Turnover:
- The working capital turnover ratio measures how effectively the company utilizes its working capital to generate sales.
- The trend shows a gradual decline in working capital turnover from 11.54 on January 31, 2022, to 7.92 on January 31, 2025. This could indicate inefficiencies in utilizing working capital to drive sales or a potential slowdown in operations.
In conclusion, while the company's payables turnover reflects good payment practices, the declining trends in inventory turnover and working capital turnover ratios raise concerns about the company's operational efficiency and management of assets. Further analysis and comparison with industry benchmarks are recommended to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Academy Sports Outdoors Inc's activity ratios.
