Current ratio 2.80 1.28 1.59 1.46 3.72
Quick ratio 0.35 0.26 0.50 0.34 1.71
Cash ratio 0.35 0.26 0.50 0.34 1.71

The liquidity ratios of Travel + Leisure Co indicate its ability to meet short-term obligations and manage its current liabilities. The current ratio, which compares current assets to current liabilities, decreased from 3.72 in December 2020 to 1.46 in December 2021, suggesting a decline in the company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its current assets. However, the ratio improved slightly to 1.59 in December 2022 and then fell to 1.28 in December 2023 before significantly increasing to 2.80 in December 2024, which may indicate improved liquidity in the most recent period.

The quick ratio, which excludes inventory from current assets in the calculation, also decreased substantially from 1.71 in December 2020 to 0.34 in December 2021, indicating a potential liquidity issue. The quick ratio continued to remain low at 0.50 in December 2022, 0.26 in December 2023, before slightly increasing to 0.35 in December 2024. This suggests that the company may have challenges in quickly converting its most liquid assets into cash to meet its short-term obligations.

The cash ratio, which specifically measures a company's ability to cover its current liabilities with its cash and cash equivalents, mirrored the trend of the quick ratio, revealing a decline from 1.71 in December 2020 to 0.34 in December 2021. The ratio remained consistent at 0.50 in December 2022 and 0.35 in December 2024, indicating that Travel + Leisure Co may have limited cash reserves to cover its short-term liabilities in the specified periods.

Overall, the downward trend in the quick ratio and cash ratio, along with fluctuations in the current ratio, suggest that Travel + Leisure Co faced liquidity challenges in some periods but improved its liquidity position by the end of December 2024, as indicated by the significant increase in the current ratio. Investors and stakeholders should monitor these ratios to assess the company's ability to manage short-term financial obligations effectively.
