While the ratio was not available for some periods, we can see a general upward trend from early 2020 through mid-2023, peaking at 37.33 in July 2023. This suggests that the company was efficient in utilizing its working capital to generate revenue during that period.

However, there was a significant drop in the ratio in April 2024 to 5.82, indicating a decrease in the efficiency of working capital utilization.
