In this case, we see that there was an improvement in receivables turnover from June to September, suggesting that the company was able to collect its receivables at a faster rate during the third quarter. However, the ratio decreased significantly by the end of the year, indicating that the company may have experienced challenges in collecting its receivables in the last quarter of the year.
