Total asset turnover measures the efficiency with which Matthews International Corporation generates sales revenue from its total assets. A higher total asset turnover ratio indicates that the company is utilizing its assets effectively to generate sales.

Looking at the trend over the past several quarters, Matthews International Corporation's total asset turnover has shown relatively stable performance, ranging between 0.67 to 1.00. This suggests that the company has been able to consistently generate sales relative to its total asset base.

In particular, there was an improvement in total asset turnover from the beginning of 2022 to the third quarter of 2023, reaching a peak of 1.00 in the third quarter of 2023. This could indicate that the company became more efficient in generating sales from its assets during that period.
