The cash conversion cycle provides insights into how efficiently Range Resources Corp manages its cash flows related to its operating cycle. Looking at the historical trend of the cash conversion cycle from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024, the company has experienced fluctuations and improvements in its cash conversion efficiency.

Initially, the company had a positive cash conversion cycle, indicating that it took a relatively long time to convert its investments in inventory and accounts receivable into cash. However, from December 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024, Range Resources Corp significantly improved its cash conversion cycle, moving into negative days.

The negative days in the cash conversion cycle suggest that the company is efficiently managing its working capital, indicating quick conversion of inventory and receivables into cash. This improvement reflects effective inventory management and collection of receivables, leading to a shorter cycle period and faster cash turnover for the company.

Moreover, the positive cash conversion cycle observed in the most recent period ending December 31, 2023, at 197.17 days, may raise concerns about potential liquidity challenges or operating inefficiencies during that quarter.

Overall, Range Resources Corp's improving trend in the cash conversion cycle indicates enhanced operational efficiency and working capital management, which can positively impact the company's cash flow and financial performance.
