December 31, 2023 calculation

Cash ratio = (Cash and cash equivalents + Short-term investments) ÷ Total current liabilities
= ($113,024K + $542,376K) ÷ $102,678K
= 6.38

The cash ratio of Cytokinetics Inc has shown a declining trend over the past eight quarters, indicating a decrease in the company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its cash and cash equivalents. The ratio has decreased from 11.53 in Q3 2022 to 6.10 in Q4 2023.

This downward trend suggests that the company may be experiencing challenges in maintaining sufficient liquid assets to meet its immediate financial obligations. A lower cash ratio may indicate potential liquidity issues, which can impact the company's ability to pay off its short-term debts and fund its ongoing operations.

It is important for Cytokinetics Inc to closely monitor its cash position and liquidity management strategies to ensure it maintains an adequate level of cash reserves to weather any unforeseen financial challenges and meet its financial obligations in a timely manner.
