The inventory turnover of MGP Ingredients Inc has fluctuated over the years based on the provided data. The inventory turnover ratio indicates how efficiently the company is managing its inventory. A higher turnover ratio suggests that a company is selling goods quickly and efficiently.

Based on the data, MGP Ingredients Inc's inventory turnover ratio ranged from 1.14 to 2.18 during the period from December 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024. The highest inventory turnover was recorded on March 31, 2021, at 2.18, indicating the company was able to sell and replace its inventory more than twice during that period.

However, there was a decline in inventory turnover from June 30, 2021, with a ratio of 1.48, until December 31, 2024, where the ratio decreased to 1.14.

Analyzing the reasons behind the fluctuations in inventory turnover can help the company make informed decisions to improve efficiency and profitability.
