To analyze California Resources Corporation's Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) over the past five quarters, we can see fluctuations in the collection period for accounts receivable. In Q4 2023, the DSO decreased to 28.15 days from 32.17 days in Q3 2023, indicating a faster collection of receivables. This could be a positive sign of efficient credit management or timely payment by customers.

Comparing Q4 2023 to Q2 2023, the DSO increased significantly from 19.52 days to 28.15 days. This rise suggests a longer collection period and may raise concerns about potential issues in accounts receivable management or an increase in credit risk exposure.

In Q1 2023, the DSO was at 25.40 days, showing a slight increase from Q4 2022's 43.96 days. The decrease in DSO from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 indicates an improvement in the company's ability to collect receivables more promptly compared to the previous quarter.

Overall, while there have been fluctuations in California Resources Corporation's DSO over the past five quarters, it is essential to monitor trends closely to ensure efficient management of accounts receivable and timely cash flow generation.
