MGM Resorts International's activity ratios provide insight into its efficiency in managing inventory, collecting receivables, and paying suppliers.

The Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH) decreased from 9.34 days in 2020 to 6.05 days in 2023, indicating a more efficient inventory management process. This means the company is selling its inventory quicker, which could lead to lower holding costs and potentially higher profitability.

The Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) decreased from 39.59 days in 2020 to 24.17 days in 2023, suggesting an improvement in collecting receivables. A lower DSO means the company is collecting payments from customers more quickly, leading to improved cash flow and reduced risk of bad debts.

The Number of Days of Payables increased from 11.30 days in 2019 to 19.70 days in 2023, indicating that the company is taking longer to pay its suppliers. While this may indicate a deliberate strategy to preserve cash or negotiate better terms, it could also potentially strain relationships with suppliers if the extension is not managed effectively.

Overall, the trend in these activity ratios suggests that MGM Resorts International has been effectively managing its operational activities to improve efficiency and cash flow over the years.

Fixed asset turnover 2.86 2.84 0.62 0.40 0.79
Total asset turnover 0.37 0.32 0.22 0.16 0.43

MGM Resorts International's long-term activity ratios reflect the efficiency of the company in utilizing its fixed assets and total assets to generate revenue over the years. The fixed asset turnover ratio has shown an increasing trend from 2019 to 2023, indicating that MGM Resorts has improved its ability to generate revenue from its fixed assets. This suggests that the company has been more efficient in utilizing its property, plant, and equipment to generate sales.

On the other hand, the total asset turnover ratio has fluctuated over the same period. The ratio peaked in 2020 before declining sharply in 2021 and gradually increasing again thereafter. This fluctuation may indicate changes in the company's overall efficiency in generating revenue from its total assets, including both fixed and current assets.

Overall, the upward trend in fixed asset turnover and the fluctuating trend in total asset turnover suggest that MGM Resorts International has made improvements in utilizing its fixed assets efficiently, while the efficiency of utilizing total assets has experienced some variability. Further analysis of the factors driving these ratios over the years can provide insights into the company's operational effectiveness and asset utilization strategies.
