METHODOLOGY

How the analysis works.

DIO equals inventory divided by cost of goods sold times period days. DSO equals receivables divided by revenue times period days. DPO equals payables divided by cost of goods sold times period days. CCC equals DIO plus DSO minus DPO.

LIMITATIONS

What this does not replace.

Average balances are preferable to single period-end balances. Seasonality, supplier terms, customer mix and accounting classification can materially affect interpretation.
