The cash conversion cycle is a measure of the time it takes for a company to convert its investments in inventory and other resources into cash flows from sales. It is calculated by adding the days of inventory outstanding (DIO) to the days sales outstanding (DSO) and then subtracting the days payables outstanding (DPO).
Based on the provided data for ResMed Inc, the cash conversion cycle has exhibited fluctuations over the past few quarters. Initially, the company's cash conversion cycle was at a relatively high point, exceeding 170 days in the middle of 2021. However, it improved gradually during subsequent quarters before peaking again. The cycle reached its lowest point around March 2022, indicating efficient management of working capital.
Subsequently, the cycle increased, indicating potential challenges in managing inventory, accounts receivable, and payables. By March 2024, the cash conversion cycle stood at 141.40 days, which was relatively higher compared to the lower levels observed in the previous year.
Overall, the trend in ResMed Inc's cash conversion cycle suggests fluctuations in the efficiency of its working capital management. A decreasing trend indicates improved efficiency, while an increasing trend may signal inefficiencies in managing cash flows. It is essential for the company to monitor and optimize its inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable processes to enhance its cash conversion cycle and overall financial performance.
