Abstract
Efficient management of working capital is a fundamental aspect of financial prowess for businesses, particularly in the ever – evolving realm of the retail industry. This publication aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the evaluation of working capital performance within the context of retail enterprises. Working capital, the difference between a company’s current assets and current liabilities, is a key determinant of an organization’s operational agility and financial resilience. In the dynamic and competitive landscape of retail, optimizing working capital performance becomes paramount for maintaining smooth day-to-day operations, meeting customer demands, and ensuring sustainable growth. Drawing inspiration from established financial literature, empirical studies, and industry practices, this paper delves into a comprehensive analysis of the working capital metrics and formula that hold particular relevance for retail enterprise. Within the purview of this exploration, key working capital metrics come to the fore, each with a distinct role in gauging a retail company’s financial health and operational efficiency. This paper navigates into the realm of working capital formulas, equipping readers with the tools to quantitatively assess a retail company’s financial robustness. Real world example culled from the retail industry vividly illustrates how these formulas are applied in practice. Through a case study of an international fashion retailer, the nuanced strategies for managing working capital amidst seasonal fluctuations and inventory dynamics come to light. However, the retail landscape is not without its challenge. This publication offers pragmatic solutions garnered from industry insights and financial expertise, empowering retailers to navigate these challenges and fortify their working capital strategies. This comprehensive discourse concludes with a glimpse into the future, where emerging trends like onmichannel retailing, sustainability and digital transformation cast a transformative shadow over working capital dynamics.
