Accounts receivable increased $147 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with a $51 million increase in 2025, primarily because of billing and collection timing. Days sales outstanding increased to 41.7 days from 40.4 days, while DSO net of deferred revenue increased to 31.8 days from 29.9 days. Accounts payable increased $123 million, compared with a $13 million decrease in 2025, primarily because of payment timing. Operating cash flow benefited from these working-capital movements but was partly offset by $27 million of capping, closure, and post-closure payments and higher remediation payments.
