In December 31, 2020, the company had an inventory holding period of 38.46 days, which decreased to 33.16 days by December 31, 2021. However, in the subsequent year, the DOH increased significantly to 61.11 days by December 31, 2022. This rise in DOH suggests that the company may have been holding excess inventory or facing challenges in managing its inventory efficiently.

Nevertheless, by December 31, 2024, the DOH surged to 89.41 days, reaching a notably high level. Such an extended inventory holding period could lead to increased carrying costs, potential obsolescence, and reduced liquidity if inventory cannot be converted to sales promptly.
