In Q1 2022, the fixed asset turnover was relatively high at 1.58, indicating that the company was able to generate $1.58 in revenue for every dollar invested in fixed assets during that period. This high turnover suggests efficient utilization of fixed assets in revenue generation.

In the most recent quarter, Q4 2023, the fixed asset turnover stood at 0.96, showing a slight decrease from the previous quarter but still indicating a reasonable level of efficiency in asset utilization.
