1. Inventory Turnover:

In conclusion, while the analysis of ODP Corp's activity ratios provides some insights into its operational efficiency, the lack of data for certain metrics hinders a complete assessment of the company's overall performance in managing its inventory, receivables, payables, and working capital.

Long-term

Dec 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2023 Dec 31, 2022 Dec 31, 2021 Dec 31, 2020
Fixed asset turnover 24.12 17.75 16.86
Total asset turnover 1.98 2.02 2.05 1.74 1.75

The fixed asset turnover ratio for ODP Corp has shown a consistent upward trend from 16.86 in 2020 to 24.12 in 2022, indicating that the company is generating more sales relative to its investment in fixed assets. However, the data for 2023 and 2024 is unavailable.

On the other hand, the total asset turnover ratio has fluctuated over the years, with a slight decrease from 1.75 in 2020 to 1.74 in 2021, followed by an increase to 2.05 in 2022, and then a slight decline to 1.98 in 2024. This suggests that the company's ability to generate sales from its total assets has varied, possibly due to changes in business operations or asset utilization efficiency.

Overall, the increasing trend in fixed asset turnover and the fluctuating yet relatively stable total asset turnover indicate that ODP Corp has been efficiently utilizing its assets to generate sales, though further analysis of the underlying reasons for these fluctuations would be necessary to provide a more conclusive assessment of the company's long-term activity ratios.
