Receivables vs revenue
How much faster receivables grew than revenue year over year - collections lagging sales or recognition running ahead of cash.
Formula
Receivables growth − revenue growth (percentage points, same period ends)
Served as: annual · derived. Annual and quarterly observations are never mixed unlabeled.
Where the inputs come from
- Receivables concepts (fallback chain)
- Revenues (same-end pairing)
Listed highest priority first. Every served figure carries its filing, fiscal period and accession; open any value on the financials page to see them.
How to compare it honestly
Compare against the company's own history; a one-year build can be honest timing, a multi-year divergence rarely is.
When it is not served
Not computed when either base is non-positive or the two are not tagged at the same consecutive ends.
Missing data is missing evidence: it is never shown as zero and never treated as a conclusion.
What it cannot tell you
Acquisitions and mix shifts move the ratio without any recognition change; it is a prompt to read the filings, not a finding.
Questions worth asking next
- Do the notes explain the receivables build (terms, acquisitions, timing)?
- Does the divergence persist across more than one year?
Research prompts, not recommendations.
