Days of Inventory held is continuously increasing for the
company, which means company is taking larger amount of time to
convert its raw material into end product. It shows that production
efficiency of the company has reduced over years.
Similarly, days of sales outstanding is also increasing, it means
company is taking larger amount of time to collect money from its
debtors. This also affects company's operating efficiency as
company's money is stuck with the debtors for more number of days,
and return earned by cycling same money in the year is
decreasing.
Effect of above 2 facts is that Operating Cycle of the company has
increased substantially, this means company's operating efficiency
has deteriorated and company is much less efficient operationally
today as compared to 3 years ago.
Company's days of payable outstanding has also increased
considerably, this means company is not paying its creditors as
early as it used to do 3 years ago. Although this helps company in
improving its cash conversion cycle, as loss in operating
efficiency is funded somehow by increase in DPO, but it should also
be considered that if DPO increases a lot, it might be difficult
for the company to get raw material on credit in future.
Overall, Cash Conversion Cycle of the company has increased, if
company was able to rotate all its cash about 4 times (365/95) 3
years ago, today company can rotate its cash only about 2.5
times(365/152) now. So return of the company from its resources has
decreased.
