Notably, there was an increase in DSO in the last quarter of each year, with peaks observed in December of 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Overall, the trend in DSO indicates some variability in the company's accounts receivable collection efficiency. A lower DSO value suggests that Sempra Energy is collecting revenue from its sales more quickly, whereas a higher DSO value indicates a longer collection period. The management should closely monitor and potentially improve collection processes to reduce DSO and enhance cash flow efficiency.
