The ratio decreased from 4.24 in March 2020 to 4.01 in March 2021, indicating a longer period required to collect receivables in 2021.

A lower receivables turnover ratio in March 2024 may indicate that ePlus inc is taking a longer time to collect receivables compared to the previous period. This could potentially be a red flag as a low turnover ratio may tie up the company's cash flow and working capital, impacting liquidity. Further analysis of the company's collection policies, credit terms, and overall efficiency in managing receivables may be warranted to address this trend.
