The data indicates that RPM International Inc.'s days of sales outstanding (DSO) over the period from May 31, 2021, to May 31, 2025, has exhibited relatively stable fluctuations within a narrow range. Specifically, the DSO increased slightly from 76.56 days in 2021 to a peak of 77.96 days in 2022. Subsequently, the figure decreased to 75.60 days in 2023, reflecting a modest improvement in collection efficiency. In 2024, the DSO further declined to 73.51 days, indicating an enhancement in the company's receivables management and/or customer payment behavior. However, in 2025, the DSO experienced a slight uptick to 74.71 days, suggesting a small reversal in this trend but remaining within a close proximity to the earlier levels.
Overall, the trend demonstrates a marginal decrease in DSO over the four-year span, which could be interpreted as a slight improvement in accounts receivable collection times. This stabilization and modest decline may signal enhanced credit policies, more efficient collections processes, or changes in customer payment practices. Nonetheless, the stability in DSO figures suggests that the company's receivables management strategies have remained consistent, maintaining collection periods within a relatively narrow and predictable range.
