What the cycle tells you

Cash conversion cycle = days inventory outstanding + days sales outstanding − days payables outstanding. A shorter cycle means cash comes back faster. Trading and retail businesses can shorten it by turning stock faster, collecting sooner or negotiating longer supplier terms.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the cash conversion cycle formula?

CCC = DIO + DSO − DPO, where DIO = inventory ÷ COGS × days, DSO = receivables ÷ revenue × days, and DPO = payables ÷ COGS × days.

Can the cycle be negative?

Yes. A negative cycle means you collect from customers before you pay suppliers, which is common in retail and subscription businesses and is very good for cash flow.
