The number of days of payables is a crucial metric in assessing a company's liquidity position and its ability to manage its working capital effectively. A decreasing number of days of payables may indicate that the company is paying its suppliers more quickly, potentially signaling either stronger financial health or a need to improve relationships with suppliers. Conversely, an increasing number of days of payables could suggest a cash flow advantage for the company or potential liquidity concerns.

To perform a more in-depth analysis and provide further insights, it would be necessary to obtain the specific financial data for each year and calculate the number of days of payables accordingly.
