Overall, there has been fluctuation in the efficiency of inventory management over the years.

2. Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO):
- Royal Gold's DSO has been consistently low, indicating a quick turnover of accounts receivable into cash. In June 2020, the company took only 1.78 days to convert sales into cash, which increased slightly to 2.54 days by June 2021.
