The working capital turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company is utilizing its working capital to generate revenue. A higher ratio indicates better efficiency in utilizing working capital.

From the data provided, we observe significant fluctuations in Uber Technologies Inc's working capital turnover ratio over the past quarters.

In Q4 2023, the working capital turnover ratio was 20.23, showing a decrease from the previous quarter's ratio of 28.22 in Q3 2023. This decrease may indicate a decrease in efficiency in utilizing working capital to generate revenue.

However, in Q2 2023, the working capital turnover ratio was 17.25, showing another decrease from Q3 2023. This might indicate a period of lower efficiency in working capital management.

Remarkably, in Q1 2023, the working capital turnover ratio spiked to 65.98, which is significantly higher than the previous quarters. This surge could indicate a period of improved efficiency in utilizing working capital to generate revenue.

Comparing these figures with the ratios from the previous year, we see a substantial decrease in efficiency from Q4 2022 to Q1 2022, with Q1 2022 showing an unusually high working capital turnover ratio of 1,646.62. This aberration suggests potential anomalies or irregularities in the financial data for Q1 2022.
