The Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH) ratio measures how many days it takes for the company to turn its inventory into sales. Dorian LPG's DOH has been relatively consistent, ranging between 5.46 to 9.62 days over the past few quarters. A lower DOH indicates faster inventory turnover, which is generally more favorable as it minimizes holding costs and the risk of obsolescence.
The Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) ratio shows how long it takes the company to collect its accounts receivable. Dorian LPG's DSO has varied significantly, ranging from 34.51 to 124.92 days. A lower DSO is preferred as it indicates faster cash collection and improved liquidity. The company should focus on reducing DSO to ensure timely collection of receivables.
The Number of Days of Payables ratio reflects how long it takes the company to pay its suppliers. Dorian LPG's payables turnover has shown some fluctuation, ranging from 24.25 to 53.18 days. A higher number of days of payables suggests the company is taking longer to pay its suppliers, which can improve cash flow but may strain relationships with vendors. However, excessively long payables periods could indicate financial distress or aggressive cash management tactics.
Overall, Dorian LPG should aim to optimize its activity ratios by managing inventory levels efficiently, reducing DSO by improving collection practices, and balancing payables periods to maintain good relationships with suppliers while preserving cash flow.
