Turnover ratios

Mar 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2023 Sep 30, 2023
Inventory turnover 8.36 8.48 8.40
Receivables turnover 4.77 6.25 6.01
Payables turnover 3.69 4.58 4.09
Working capital turnover 2.85 3.46 3.68

Nextracker Inc.'s inventory turnover ratio has remained relatively stable over the past three quarters, averaging around 8.41. This indicates that the company efficiently sells and replenishes its inventory approximately 8.41 times a year.

In contrast, the receivables turnover ratio has shown some fluctuations, decreasing from 6.01 in September 2023 to 4.77 in March 2024. This suggests that the average collection period for the company's receivables has lengthened, indicating a potential issue with collecting payments from customers in a timely manner.

Similarly, the payables turnover ratio has also declined over the quarters, from 4.09 in September 2023 to 3.69 in March 2024. This indicates that the company is taking longer to pay its suppliers, which could impact relationships and potentially signal cash flow issues.

The working capital turnover ratio has shown a consistent decline over the quarters, decreasing from 3.68 in September 2023 to 2.85 in March 2024. This implies that the company is generating less revenue relative to its working capital, potentially indicating inefficiencies in the utilization of its current assets to generate sales.

Overall, while the inventory turnover ratio reflects efficient management of inventory, the decreasing trends in receivables turnover, payables turnover, and working capital turnover ratios suggest areas of concern that may require further investigation and management attention to improve the company's overall efficiency and financial health.
