The cash conversion cycle measures the average number of days it takes a company to convert its inventory investments into cash inflows from sales, considering both the inventory holding period and the accounts receivable collection period, while taking into account the accounts payable payment period.

The cash conversion cycle for Boot Barn Holdings Inc ranged from a low of 65.27 days on March 31, 2022, to a high of 130.83 days on September 30, 2022. Notably, there was a significant increase in the cash conversion cycle in the following quarters from September 2022 to March 31, 2024, peaking at 120.23 days.
