The receivables turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company is managing its accounts receivable by showing how many times, on average, the company collects its outstanding receivables during a specific period.
Analyzing the receivables turnover of Treehouse Foods Inc over the past eight quarters reveals fluctuations in the speed of collecting receivables. In Q4 2023, the receivables turnover ratio decreased to 19.54 from 20.25 in Q1 2023, indicating a slight slowdown in collecting outstanding receivables compared to the previous quarter. However, it is still higher than the ratios in Q3 and Q2 2023.
