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

Williams-Sonoma's Days Inventory for the three months ended in Jan. 2024 is calculated as:

Days Inventory	=	Average Total Inventories (Q: Jan. 2024 )	/	Cost of Goods Sold (Q: Jan. 2024 )	*	Days in Period
	=	1321.6165	/	1230.322	*	365 / 4
