The cash conversion cycle of VF Corporation has fluctuated over the past few years, indicating variability in its management of cash, inventory, and receivables. The cash conversion cycle measures the time taken by a company to convert its investments in inventory and other resources into cash flows from sales.

From June 2020 to September 2021, VF Corporation's cash conversion cycle varied between 91.79 days and 171.59 days, reflecting changes in its operational efficiency. A lower cash conversion cycle indicates that the company is able to efficiently manage its working capital by quickly selling inventory and collecting receivables, thus converting them into cash.

In the more recent periods, the cash conversion cycle decreased to 108.00 days as of June 2024, reflecting improvements in inventory management and collection of receivables. However, in September 2024, the cycle increased to 138.84 days, suggesting potential challenges in managing working capital efficiently.

Overall, VF Corporation should continue monitoring its cash conversion cycle closely to ensure optimal management of its working capital and improve its operational efficiency. Efforts to streamline inventory management, enhance receivables collection processes, and negotiate favorable payment terms with suppliers could potentially reduce the cash conversion cycle further, leading to improved liquidity and financial performance.
