While the Company believes RPO and CRPO are leading indicators of revenue as they represent sales activity not yet recognized in revenue, they are not necessarily indicative of future revenue growth as they are influenced by several factors, including seasonality of contract renewal timing and average contract terms. The Company monitors RPO and CRPO to manage the business and evaluate performance. RPO increased due to several large, multi-year renewals. CRPO increased due to new customer additions, as well as the multi-year renewals. The relative decline in RPO and CRPO growth (in terms of % change) is primarily due to revenue run-off from large multi-year arrangements subject to future renewal.

Current wording
In the six months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities of $61.5 million resulted primarily from operating results adjusted for non-cash items of $43.2 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $18.3 million. Net cash provided by operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to a $29.2 million Internal Revenue Service refund related to fiscal 2021, an increase in income taxes payable of $13.9 million, and an increase in other assets of $5.7 million, offset partially by a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $12.9 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $16.3 million. The change in accounts payable and other liabilities is primarily due to the payment of annual incentive compensation, and the timing of payments to suppliers. The change in accounts receivable is primarily due to revenue growth and the timing of cash receipts from customers.
