The cash conversion cycle of Rogers Corp. has shown fluctuations over the past eight quarters. The company's cash conversion cycle measures the time required to convert its investments in inventory and other resources into cash flows from sales. In the most recent quarter, Q4 2023, the cash conversion cycle was 129.42 days, indicating that it takes the company approximately 129 days to convert its resources into cash from sales.
The trend in the cash conversion cycle over the past eight quarters shows variability, with values ranging from 114.16 days in Q1 2022 to 141.41 days in Q2 2023. A decreasing trend in the cash conversion cycle, as observed from Q1 2022 to Q3 2022, may suggest that the company has been improving its efficiency in managing its inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
However, the increase in the cash conversion cycle from Q3 2022 to Q3 2023 and the subsequent decrease in Q4 2023 indicates a need for closer monitoring of the company's working capital management. These fluctuations suggest potential challenges in efficiently converting investments into cash and optimizing operating cycles.
Overall, the cash conversion cycle analysis highlights the importance of closely monitoring working capital efficiency to ensure optimal cash flow management and operational performance for Rogers Corp.
