The analysis of Guidewire Software Inc.'s Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) over the specified periods reveals notable fluctuations with an overall trend indicating variability in the company's receivables collection efficiency.
From October 31, 2020, to October 31, 2021, the DSO increased from approximately 79.58 days to a peak of around 94.74 days in July 2021, suggesting a period of slower collections or possible delays in receivables conversion. However, this upward trajectory reversed in subsequent quarters, with a decline to approximately 77.61 days by October 2022, reflecting improved collection efficiency.
Between October 2022 and April 2023, the DSO exhibited an upward trend again, reaching about 106.70 days, indicating a significant deterioration in receivables management or changes in billing practices. Despite some fluctuations, the DSO showed signs of stabilization, with the figures moving toward an average around the high 80s to low 90s in the subsequent periods (e.g., October 2023 at approximately 80.49 days).
In the most recent data points, from October 2024 to July 2025, the DSO fluctuated near the mid-80s to low 100s, with a notable peak of approximately 100.84 days in April 2025. The latest recorded DSO as of October 31, 2025, stands at approximately 79.94 days, which is within the range observed earlier in the trend and indicates a return to more efficient receivables collection levels.
Overall, Guidewire's DSO has experienced periods of both deterioration and improvement, reflecting changing operational conditions, client payment behaviors, or adjustments in credit policies. The recent trend suggests a stabilization around approximately 80 days, aligning with historical lower ranges, which is generally viewed as manageable within industry standards for SaaS or software companies.
