Receivables turnover measures how efficiently a company collects cash from its customers in a given period. A higher receivables turnover ratio indicates a shorter time between credit sales and cash collection, reflecting better efficiency in managing accounts receivable.

Analyzing Chemours Co's receivables turnover over the past five years reveals a fluctuating trend. In 2023, the receivables turnover ratio decreased to 9.54 from 10.60 in 2022, indicating that the company took longer to collect cash from customers compared to the previous year.
