Electronic Arts Inc's activity ratios provide insight into how efficiently the company is managing its assets and liabilities.

1. Inventory Turnover: Unfortunately, no data is available for the inventory turnover ratio for all the years. This ratio indicates how many times a company sells and replaces its inventory during a specific period. The absence of data may suggest that Electronic Arts does not hold significant inventory relative to its sales.

2. Receivables Turnover: The receivables turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company collects payments from its customers. Electronic Arts' receivables turnover has been relatively stable over the years, with values ranging from 10.76 to 13.38. This consistency suggests that the company has been successful in collecting payments from its customers in a timely manner.

3. Payables Turnover: The payables turnover ratio evaluates how quickly a company pays its suppliers. Electronic Arts' payables turnover has shown a slight decline from 18.41 in 2022 to 14.70 in 2025. This decrease indicates that the company is taking longer to pay its suppliers, which could be due to changing payment terms or other factors.

4. Working Capital Turnover: The working capital turnover ratio indicates how efficiently a company utilizes its working capital to generate sales. Electronic Arts' working capital turnover has shown significant fluctuations, with a notable increase from 1.32 in 2021 to 10.96 in 2022. Subsequently, the ratio decreased to 6.54 in 2024 and data is not available for 2025. These fluctuations may signal changes in the company's working capital management practices or business operations.

In conclusion, while Electronic Arts has demonstrated effective receivables turnover and varying trends in payables turnover and working capital turnover, the absence of data for inventory turnover limits a comprehensive analysis of the company's overall activity efficiency.
