Starting at a high level of 32.09 in December 31, 2020, the ratio has substantially decreased to 10.05 by December 31, 2021. This significant decline suggests a slower rate of inventory turnover within the company during the stated period. Subsequently, the turnover ratio remained relatively stable around the range of 10.0 to 10.8 for the following years, indicating a consistent performance in managing inventory levels.
