However, the DSO in 2023 is lower than in 2021 and 2020, indicating some improvement in collecting receivables more efficiently than those years.

The Number of Days of Payables ratio, which measures how long it takes for the company to pay its suppliers, has shown fluctuation over the years. In 2023, the Number of Days of Payables is 869.13 days, significantly higher than in the previous years. This suggests that Magnolia Oil & Gas Corp took much longer to pay its suppliers in 2023 compared to the earlier years.

It is worth noting that the Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH) data is not provided for the years under review, so we cannot assess the efficiency of managing inventory levels over time.

Overall, based on the DSO and Number of Days of Payables ratios, Magnolia Oil & Gas Corp may need to focus on improving its accounts receivable collection practices and managing its payables effectively to enhance its working capital management in the future.
