Step 1: Gather the Data
To calculate the CCC, you’ll need to calculate three key metrics:
You want to collect data for your company and 1 or 2 competitors (or your company over an3 year period).
- Income Statement: Sales, Cost of Goods Sold
- Balance Sheet: Receivables, Inventories, Payables
Check your company’s annual report, financial statements, or internal accounting data to find the data. If you're analyzing competitors, you can find similar data in publicly available annual reports, SEC filings, or industry reports.
Or use the Visual Finance App. If you don’t have an account, it’s easy to set one up.
Once you have collected the data, move to Step 2 to set up your comparison table.
