Abstract: Working capital plays an important role in the profitability of companies. A high financial performance is expected if there is an efficient working capital management. The study was conducted to investigate the impact of working capital management on financial performance by using the data collected from seven listed firms in Muscat Securities Market under industrial sector-construction material support category. The study covered 7 years, from 2013 to 2018. The efficiency of the working capital was measured through the cash conversion cycle. A conceptual framework was needed to complete the study. The analysis of data has been segmented into three models with each area of profit kept as dependent variable. The parts are gross profit, net profit and operating profit kept as dependent variable and analysed using correlation, regression and annova. The three models showed a positive relationship between inventory conversion period, average collection period, average payment period and profitability.
