The days sales outstanding (DSO) for XPEL Inc has shown fluctuations over the past five years. In 2023, the DSO increased to 22.85 days from 16.59 days in 2022, marking a significant rise.

The increase in DSO in 2023 could indicate potential issues with the company's accounts receivable management or changes in customer payment patterns. It may be beneficial for XPEL Inc to review its credit policies, collections processes, and customer creditworthiness to improve cash flow efficiency and overall financial performance.
