Days of inventory on hand (DOH) days 220.48 204.38 255.78 191.03 176.86

Number of days of payables days

CONMED Corporation's activity ratios indicate the efficiency of the company in managing its inventory, receivables, and payables.

1. Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH): The trend in DOH shows an increase from 176.86 days in 2020 to 220.48 days in 2024. This indicates that CONMED is holding inventory for a longer period, which may lead to higher holding costs and the risk of obsolete inventory.

2. Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO): The data shows that DSO values are not available for the years provided, indicating a lack of information on how quickly CONMED is collecting payments from its customers. Without this information, it is challenging to assess the efficiency of the company in managing its receivables.

3. Number of Days of Payables: Similar to DSO, the data does not provide information on the number of days of payables for the years specified. This makes it difficult to evaluate how effectively CONMED is managing its payables and cash flow through payment terms with suppliers.

In conclusion, while the increasing trend in Days of Inventory on Hand suggests potential inefficiencies in inventory management, the absence of data for Days of Sales Outstanding and Days of Payables limits a comprehensive analysis of CONMED Corporation's overall activity ratios.
