The ratio was at a relatively high level of 19.14 on March 31, 2020, indicating that the company was able to convert its accounts receivable into cash almost 19 times within that year. However, the ratio decreased to 9.14 by September 30, 2021, implying a slowdown in the collection of receivables.

Thereafter, the receivables turnover ratio showed some improvement, reaching a peak of 18.77 on June 30, 2023, before declining again to 9.30 by December 31, 2024. This suggests that the company may have experienced challenges with efficient collections during certain periods.

Overall, fluctuations in the receivables turnover ratio can indicate changes in the company's sales policies, credit policies, or the effectiveness of its collection activities. A higher turnover ratio is generally preferred as it signifies that the company is collecting its outstanding receivables more quickly.
