Cash conversion cycle	days	34.45	44.87	43.94	43.13	36.68	37.86	37.91	39.15

The cash conversion cycle of N-Able Inc has fluctuated throughout the year, with a peak of 44.87 days in September 2023 and a low of 34.45 days in December 2023. This indicates the time it takes for the company to convert its resources into cash by analyzing its inventory turnover, accounts receivable collection, and accounts payable payment processes.

The trend shows some volatility, suggesting potential inefficiencies in managing working capital during certain periods. A longer cash conversion cycle may indicate challenges in efficiently selling inventory, collecting outstanding receivables, or delaying payables. Conversely, a shorter cycle implies quicker turnover of resources into cash, reflecting more effective working capital management.

Overall, monitoring and managing the cash conversion cycle is crucial for N-Able Inc to optimize cash flow, improve liquidity, and ensure sustainable operations. It is essential for the company to identify areas of improvement and implement strategies to shorten the cycle and enhance its overall financial performance.
