J.P. Morgan’s 2021 Working Capital Index report provides treasury and finance professionals with insights into the working capital performance of the S&P 1500 companies in the past year. We also assess the impact of the pandemic outbreak across industries and focus on how companies can better manage liquidity risks going forward.
The report captures trends from the Working Capital Index, Cash Index and Cash Conversion Cycles (CCC) of the S&P 1500 from 2011 to 2020.
CCC helps in quantifying how efficiently a company is managing its working capital. It measures the amount of time it takes to convert inventory purchases into cash flows. CCC is represented as:
The Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) is the number of days it takes to convert inventory purchases into cash flows from sales. The CCC is a metric that helps quantify the working capital efficiency of a company and is derived from three different components:

Top 3 industries showing improvement in CCC in 2020 (Number of days the CCC shortened by) |
16.9 Airlines |
10.8 Semiconductor |
198 Aerospace and Defense |
6.6 Apparel Retail |
39.9 Oil and Gas upstream |
3.2 Media |
64% of companies in the S&P 1500 saw a deterioration in CCC of which:
- 86% showed a lengthening in DSO
- 87% experienced an increase in DIO
Top 4 industries with the highest rise in case levels in 2020
- Airlines: 50.6%
- Apparel and Accessories: 7.1%

- Pharmaceuticals: 20.9%
- Technology Software: 20.6%
Growth in revenue during global financial crisis recovery (December 2008 – June 2011)
