The Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) for News Corp B over the period from June 30, 2021, to June 30, 2025, displays notable variations. As of June 30, 2021, the DSO was approximately 58.43 days, indicating the average number of days it took the company to collect receivables was slightly under two months. By June 30, 2022, the DSO decreased to approximately 52.79 days, reflecting an improvement in receivables collection efficiency. This downward trend continued marginally by June 30, 2023, with the DSO reaching approximately 52.65 days, maintaining a similar collection period compared to the previous year.
However, a shift occurs in the subsequent year, with the DSO increasing to approximately 54.40 days by June 30, 2024. This slight rise suggests a marginal slowdown in receivables collection or changes in credit policies or customer payment behaviors. The most significant change is observed by June 30, 2025, where the DSO escalates sharply to approximately 68.71 days. This rise indicates a substantial lengthening in the average collection period, potentially signaling weakening of credit control, increased credit risk, or delays from customers.
Overall, the trend from 2021 to 2023 indicates stable or improving receivables management, with DSOs remaining comfortably below 60 days. The marked increase in 2025, however, warrants further scrutiny, as it suggests deteriorating collection efficiency, which could impact cash flow and liquidity if the trend persists.
