- In the most recent fiscal year, as of February 3, 2024, the DSO stood at 11.49 days, indicating a slight increase from the prior year but still relatively consistent.
- In the preceding year, as of January 28, 2023, the DSO was slightly lower at 11.44 days, suggesting efficient collection of receivables.
- However, in the fiscal year ending January 29, 2022, the DSO was higher at 12.00 days, which may indicate a slower collection process or potential credit issues.
- In contrast, the DSO figures for the fiscal years ending January 30, 2021, and February 1, 2020, were notably lower at 8.65 days and 8.94 days, respectively, suggesting faster collections and potentially improved credit management during those periods.
