The cash conversion cycle of Enpro Inc fluctuated over the past eight quarters, ranging from a low of 82.01 days in Q3 2022 to a high of 105.67 days in Q2 2023. In general, a shorter cash conversion cycle indicates that the company is able to convert its inventory and accounts receivable into cash more quickly, which is a positive sign of operational efficiency. Conversely, a longer cash conversion cycle suggests that Enpro Inc takes longer to generate cash from its operational activities.

It is important to note that factors such as inventory management, accounts receivable collection, and accounts payable payment timelines all contribute to the cash conversion cycle. Therefore, fluctuations in this metric may be attributed to changes in any of these areas. For Enpro Inc, a downward trend in the cash conversion cycle over time would be a positive indication of improved working capital management and overall operational efficiency. Further analysis and comparison with industry benchmarks can provide additional insights into the company's performance in this area.
