To analyze the impact of WCM on the profitability of non-financial firms listed in NEPSE, this paper has used current ratio (CR), debt ratio (TDTA), current assets to total assets (CATA), current liabilities to total assets ratio (CLCA) and inventory conversion period (ICP), receivable conversion period (RCP), payable deferral period (PDP), and cash conversion cycle (CCC) as the measures of WCM. This paper has used annual panel data of 12 non-financial NEPSE-listed firms from 2005/06 to 2019/20. Using the Random Effect regression model, this paper has found the significant impact of WCM on profitability. Likewise, this paper found a significant negative impact of the current ratio (CR) and debt ratio (TDTA) and a significant positive impact of the ratio of current assets to total assets (CATA) on profitability. Further, the finding also reveals that there is an insignificant negative impact of the ICP and RCP.
