Garba, Sunusi1, Nasir Aminu Ibrahim2, Suleiman Ibrahim Kassim3.
This study examines the relationship between C2C cycle and firm profitability for
the Nigerian conglomerate sector. The study is undertaken based on the historical panel data
analysis. To achieve this objective; an ex-post facto research design was employed. Data were
generated from secondary sources, specifically, the annual reports and accounts of quoted
firms from 2003 to 2012. The population of the study comprises of six Conglomerate companies
listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, as well as
fixed-effect and random-effect Generalised Least Square (GLS) regression techniques
alongside with Hausman Specification Test as the decision rules were utilised as tools of
analysis in the study. The findings establish that C2C cycle is positively related to the efficiency
of the listed Conglomerate Firms in Nigeria, though the relationship is statistically
insignificant. Management has to attempt to uphold cash operating cycle. Since, as showed in
this study the lengthier the C2C cycle, the higher gainful the businesses turn out to be; implying
that a long operating cycle is more appropriate and logical as it influence profitability.
