Sabre Corp's activity ratios provide insights into how efficiently the company manages its inventory, collects receivables, and pays its creditors.

1. Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH): The company did not provide data on the days of inventory on hand for any of the quarters, which makes it challenging to assess how quickly Sabre is turning its inventory into sales. Without this information, it is unclear if Sabre is effectively managing its inventory levels.

2. Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO): Sabre's days of sales outstanding decreased from 54.75 days in Q4 2022 to 46.88 days in Q4 2023. This indicates that the company has been able to collect its accounts receivable more efficiently over time. A decreasing DSO suggests that Sabre has improved its credit policies or has been more successful in collecting payments from customers.

3. Number of Days of Payables: Sabre's number of days of payables increased from 59.99 days in Q4 2022 to 72.59 days in Q4 2023. This suggests that the company is taking longer to pay its suppliers, which can be beneficial for cash flow management. It is essential to monitor this metric closely to ensure that the company maintains good relationships with its suppliers.

Overall, Sabre Corp has shown improvements in managing its receivables and payables, although the lack of data on inventory turnover makes it difficult to provide a comprehensive analysis of the company's overall activity ratios. The company should focus on maintaining an optimal balance between inventory levels, receivables collection, and payable turnover to enhance its operational efficiency.
