CDW10-Q: Inventory issue
Merchandise inventory increase of $257.6M negatively impacts operating cash flow
What happened
A $257.6 million cash outflow for merchandise inventory this quarter contributed to a longer cash conversion cycle. The company attributes this to holding 'customer-driven stocking positions' for higher demand, indicating a potential pain point in balancing inventory levels, forecasting, and working capital efficiency.
