- On February 3, 2024, the DSO decreased to 2.32 days, suggesting further improvement in the collection process compared to the previous period.
- Subsequently, as of January 31, 2025, the DSO data was once again unavailable, making it challenging to evaluate the collection performance for that period.

However, the missing data points limit a comprehensive evaluation of the company's collection processes across all the mentioned periods.
