To analyze Phillips 66's Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) based on the provided data, a trend analysis over the past eight quarters can be conducted. DSO measures the average number of days it takes for a company to collect payment after a sale has been made.
It is observed that the DSO for Q4 2023 and Q3 2023 stood at 29.05 days and 29.26 days, respectively. This indicates a relatively stable collection period over these two quarters. However, looking further back to Q2 2023 and Q1 2023, the DSO decreased significantly from 30.28 days to 22.31 days, pointing towards a more efficient collection process during that period.
Comparing the recent quarters to the corresponding quarters in the previous year reveals a positive trend. In Q4 2023, the DSO dropped to 29.05 days from 23.59 days in Q4 2022, indicating an improvement in the collection efficiency. Similarly, Q3 2023 also showed a decrease in DSO compared to Q3 2022.
Overall, it appears that Phillips 66 has made progress in managing its accounts receivable more effectively, as evidenced by the declining trend in DSO over the quarters. However, fluctuations between quarters suggest potential variability in the company's collection practices and customer payment behaviors that may require further examination.
