1. Inventory Turnover: This ratio indicates how many times during a period the company sells its average inventory. Royal Gold's inventory turnover has shown a positive trend over the years, with a significant increase from 2019 to 2023. The higher turnover suggests that the company is efficiently managing its inventory levels and converting them into sales faster.

2. Receivables Turnover: This ratio measures how many times a company collects its accounts receivable during a period. Royal Gold's receivables turnover has remained relatively stable over the years, indicating that the company has been consistently collecting its receivables efficiently.

3. Payables Turnover: This ratio shows how many times a company pays off its accounts payable in a given period.

Total asset turnover 0.18 0.17 0.24 0.18 0.17

The total asset turnover ratio measures the efficiency of Royal Gold, Inc. in generating sales revenue from its total assets. A higher total asset turnover ratio indicates that the company is more efficient in utilizing its assets to generate revenue.

However, it is important to note that the lack of data for fixed asset turnover ratios restricts a more granular analysis of the company's efficiency in utilizing its fixed assets to generate sales. Additional information on fixed assets would provide a more comprehensive assessment of Royal Gold, Inc.'s long-term activity performance.
