In December 2020, the DOH was relatively high at 119.06 days, which suggests a slower turnover of inventory. However, there has been a consistent improvement in inventory management efficiency as indicated by the decreasing DOH figures in subsequent years.

By December 31, 2024, the company reported a DOH of "— days," which may indicate a possible change in reporting or inventory management practices. It is important to further investigate this anomaly to determine the underlying reasons and implications.
