The provided data indicates that John Wiley & Sons did not report a measurable working capital turnover for the fiscal years ending April 30, 2021, through April 30, 2025. Specifically, the values are represented by dashes ("—"), which typically signify that the ratio is either not applicable, not available, or could not be calculated due to missing or insufficient data on current assets and current liabilities.
This absence of reported figures suggests that there may have been minimal or no significant change in working capital components such as current assets and current liabilities during these periods, or that the company’s operational structure did not produce a meaningful working capital turnover ratio. Alternatively, it could indicate that the company has adopted a business model or financial approach rendering this ratio less relevant or difficult to compute.
Overall, the lack of data points precludes any definitive interpretation of the company's efficiency in utilizing its working capital to generate sales or revenue, highlighting the need for additional financial detail to assess operational efficiency in this area.
