As of March 31, 2024, the company takes about 57.48 days to pay its suppliers, which is an improvement from the previous year's 72.73 days. This suggests that the company is managing its payables more efficiently, potentially by negotiating better terms with its suppliers or streamlining its payment processes.

Comparing the current figure to historical data, we observe fluctuations in the number of days of payables over the years. The peak was recorded at 90.83 days as of December 31, 2020, indicating a longer payment period, which may have strained the company's working capital position. However, the decrease in days of payables since then is a positive sign for Under Armour Inc A's liquidity and cash flow management.
