By December 31, 2024, the cash ratio increased slightly to 0.35, but it still remained below the level observed at the beginning of the period. Overall, the trend in the cash ratio of Travel + Leisure Co reflects fluctuations in the company's ability to cover short-term liabilities with its cash holdings, highlighting the importance of monitoring liquidity management and cash flow strategies.
