Cash Conversion Cycle
The Cash Conversion Cycle (“CCC”) is an indicator that provides information on how efficiently a company manages its liquidity . The cash conversion cycle indicates the time (measured in days) it takes for a company to convert its investments into free liquidity (“cash”) through sales.
Here’s how the CCC calculates:
Cash Conversion Cycle = Days Sales Outstanding + Days Inventory Outstanding – Days Payables Outstanding
The CCC is a very good indicator of the liquidity that is tied up in the value chain. It is particularly meaningful if it is calculated regularly and compared with previous periods. It is also a good measure for identifying and monitoring opportunities for improvement.

There is no guide value for the CCC. However, it can be stated: The lower the CCC, the more efficiently a company manages its working capital. Even a negative CCC is possible. In any case, the CCC is an important comparative indicator within an industry, showing three parameters for possible improvement potential. The goal of professional liquidity management is to have as much circulating capital and as little fixed capital as possible. We would like to show you which options you have to improve your CCC!
