AutoZone  (NYSE:AZO) Inventory Turnover Explanation

Inventory Turnover measures how fast the company turns over its inventory within a year. A higher Inventory Turnover means the company has light inventory.

1. Days Inventory indicates the number of days of goods in sales that a company has in the inventory.

AutoZone's Days Inventory for the three months ended in Feb. 2024 is calculated as:

Days Inventory =Average Total Inventories (Q: Feb. 2024 )/Cost of Goods Sold (Q: Feb. 2024 )*Days in Period
=5872.321/1779.474*365 / 4
=301.13

2. Inventory-to-Revenue determines the ability of a company to manage their inventory levels. It measures the percentage of Inventories the company currently has on hand to support the current amount of Revenue.

Inventory-to-Revenue=Average Total Inventories (Q: Feb. 2024 ) / Revenue (Q: Feb. 2024 )

Be Aware

Usually retailers pile up their inventories at holiday seasons to meet the stronger demand. Therefore, the inventory of a particular quarter of a year should not be used to calculate Inventory Turnover. An average inventory is a better indication.
