Holding less inventory in 2020 compared to 2019, therefore, decreasing the cash conversion cycle
COGS have increased from $1,661,113,000 to $1,846,707,000 , however, the inventory has decreased from $167,042,000 to $143,799,000 meaning that they’ve been managing their inventory somewhat well enough to decrease their inventory days.

SYNLAIT MILK
Synlait Milk has a negative CCC in 2019 meaning that the company received cash from its sales before it paid its suppliers for the products it sold.
However, in 2020, while the Avg daily COGS increased from 157,765,336 in 2019, the inventories and accounts receivables increased as well. They weren’t able to manage their inventories as well which might have resulted in a higher CCC in 2019
Accounts payable days reduced from 96.9 days in 2019 to 82.26 days in 2019 which might suggest it is not taking full advantage of opportunities to delay payment to suppliers.
