The activity ratios for Cytokinetics Inc provide insights into the efficiency of the company's operations in managing its inventory, receivables, payables, and working capital over the past five years.

1. Inventory Turnover: Unfortunately, the data for inventory turnover is not provided, making it impossible to evaluate how efficiently Cytokinetics Inc is managing its inventory levels.

2. Receivables Turnover: The receivables turnover ratio indicates how many times a company collects its accounts receivables during a period. Cytokinetics Inc's receivables turnover has fluctuated significantly over the years, from 643.46 in 2022 to 1.36 in 2021. The sharp drop in 2022 suggests a potential issue with collecting receivables efficiently, but the 2023 figure of 5.87 shows improvement.

3. Payables Turnover: The data indicates a payables turnover ratio of 0.00 for all years, suggesting that Cytokinetics Inc does not have a significant reliance on trade credit from suppliers, or the company may be paying its payables very quickly.

4. Working Capital Turnover: The working capital turnover ratio assesses how effectively a company is utilizing its working capital to generate sales revenue. Cytokinetics Inc's working capital turnover has been consistently low over the years, with a maximum of 0.15 in 2021 and a minimum of 0.01 in 2023.

The company should focus on improving its efficiency in managing receivables and working capital to enhance overall operational performance and financial stability.
