= $1,273,720K ÷ $489,265K
= 2.60

Dolby Laboratories' receivables turnover has been declining over the past five years, indicating that the company takes longer to collect payments from its customers. In particular, the ratio decreased from 4.79 in 2020 to 2.60 in 2024. This downward trend suggests potential difficulties in efficiently managing accounts receivable and collecting payments in a timely manner. It may be important for Dolby Laboratories to review its credit policies and collection practices to improve its cash flow and overall financial performance.
