The receivables turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company is managing its accounts receivable by indicating how many times during a period the company collects its average accounts receivable balance. Higher turnover ratios generally imply better efficiency in collecting outstanding payments from customers.

Based on the data provided for XPEL Inc over the past five years, we observe fluctuations in the receivables turnover ratio. In 2023, the receivables turnover was 15.98, indicating that the company collected its average accounts receivable balance approximately 16 times during the year. This represented a decrease from the previous year's ratio of 22.00.

Comparing these figures to earlier years, we note that the turnover ratio was 18.82 in 2021, 15.98 in 2020, and 17.93 in 2019. The variation in the turnover ratios suggests that there have been changes in the company's accounts receivable management efficiency over the years.

The declining trend in receivables turnover from 2022 to 2023 may raise concerns about the company's ability to collect payments efficiently from its customers. It is important for XPEL Inc to analyze the reasons behind this decrease and take necessary steps to improve its accounts receivable collection process to ensure healthy cash flow and financial stability.
