Ratio Definition and Interpretation

Name: Inventory Turnover

Definition: Inventory turnover measures how quickly the company sells and replaces its inventory. A higher turnover means products are selling fast and inventory isn’t sitting idle. Slow turnover may suggest weak sales, poor demand forecasting, or obsolete inventory piling up — all of which can tie up cash unnecessarily.

Interpretation:
• In '2023', BCO's inventory turnover was 197.19, reflecting efficiency in managing inventory stock. Industry average for Oil Refining/Marketing in '2023' stood at 5.72.
• In '2024', BCO's inventory turnover was 173.69, reflecting efficiency in managing inventory stock. The decline from '2023' may indicate some operational or financial challenges. Industry average for Oil Refining/Marketing in '2024' stood at 7.28. Industry average increased by 1.56 compared to previous year.
Overall, BCO's inventory turnover has consistently declined during the past 2 years.

Formula: Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory

Good Range: Typically 4 to 12 depending on industry.
