The payables turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company manages its accounts payable by evaluating how many times a company pays off its average accounts payable balance during a certain period.

Ultra Clean Holdings Inc's payables turnover ratio has shown some fluctuations over the past few years, ranging from a low of 5.02 in December 2021 to a high of 9.38 in September 2020. The trend in the payables turnover ratio indicates that the company's ability to convert its accounts payable into cash varies over time.

A decreasing trend in the payables turnover ratio may suggest that the company is taking longer to pay its suppliers, which could strain relationships if not managed effectively. On the other hand, an increasing trend in the ratio may indicate that the company is paying off its suppliers more quickly, potentially improving its working capital management.
