1. Days Inventory indicates the number of days of goods in sales that a company has in the inventory.

QST International's Days Inventory for the three months ended in Mar. 2024 is calculated as:

Days Inventory	=	Average Total Inventories (Q: Mar. 2024 )	/	Cost of Goods Sold (Q: Mar. 2024 )	*	Days in Period
