The days of sales outstanding (DSO) for US Foods Holding Corp have displayed some fluctuation over the reported periods. The DSO is a metric that indicates the average number of days a company takes to collect payments after making a sale.
For the latest available data point of December 31, 2024, the DSO stands at 18.90 days, showing a slight decrease from the prior period. This may suggest that the company is collecting payments more efficiently compared to the previous quarter.
Looking at the trend over the past few quarters, there was a notable increase in DSO from March 31, 2023, to March 31, 2024, indicating a potential delay in collecting payments during that period. However, the DSO has since shown some improvement in the subsequent quarters.
It would be critical for stakeholders to monitor this metric closely as changes in DSO can reflect the company's effectiveness in managing accounts receivable and cash flow. A decreasing trend in DSO is generally favorable, as it implies a more streamlined collection process and quicker conversion of sales into cash inflows for the company.
