Socket Mobile's Days Inventory for the three months ended in Mar. 2026 is calculated as:

Days Inventory	=	Average Total Inventories (Q: Mar. 2026 )	/	Cost of Goods Sold (Q: Mar. 2026 )	*	Days in Period
	=	3.4765	/	1.558	*	365 / 4

2. Inventory-to-Revenue determines the ability of a company to manage their inventory levels. It measures the percentage of Inventories the company currently has on hand to support the current amount of Revenue.
