    4 Based on 56.5 million and 56.6 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for FY24 Q2 and FY24 YTD, respectively.

    Erik Gershwind, Chief Executive Officer, said, "During our fiscal second quarter, we continued expanding our solutions footprint, maintained momentum in the Public Sector, and completed important milestones in reenergizing our core customer growth rate. This included launching our website upgrades and an enhanced marketing campaign. Amid a challenging operating environment with industrial demand at low levels, we generated solid results that landed within our guidance range."

    Kristen Actis-Grande, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "Average daily sales declined 4.7% year-over-year, but we are encouraged by January and February performance which exceeded historical month-over-month trends. Additionally, our strong gross margin performance, partly aided by favorable supplier rebates, resulted in an operating margin of 7.0% and adjusted operating margin of 7.1%, slightly above the midpoint of our guidance range. We also utilized our healthy balance sheet and strong operating cash flow performance to return approximately $60 million to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases during the fiscal second quarter."

    Gershwind concluded, "While we are encouraged by positive early indicators from our growth initiatives and improving sequential growth rate trends, we have more work to do, and the environment remains uncertain. We are focused on executing our Mission Critical productivity and growth initiatives. Looking forward, this will strengthen MSC's position in the marketplace and ability to achieve our long-term objectives of reaching 400 basis points or more of growth above the IP Index and expanding operating margins to the mid-teens."

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement MSC's unaudited selected financial data presented consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP provision for income taxes, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, that exclude restructuring and other costs, share reclassification costs (prior year) and acquisition-related costs (prior year), and tax effects.

    These non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with GAAP or an alternative for GAAP financial measures and may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and should only be used to evaluate MSC's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measure.

    This press release also includes certain forward-looking information that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts because a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require the Company to predict the timing and likelihood of potential future events such as restructurings, M&A activity, capital expenditures and other infrequent or unusual gains and losses. Neither the timing or likelihood of these events, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided.

    • Results Excluding Restructuring and Other Costs, Share Reclassification Costs (prior year) and Acquisition-Related Costs (prior year)

    In calculating certain non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude restructuring and other costs, share reclassification costs (prior year) and acquisition-related costs (prior year), and tax effects. Management makes these adjustments to facilitate a review of the Company's operating performance on a comparable basis between periods, for comparing with forecasts and strategic plans, for identifying and analyzing trends in the Company's underlying business and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. We believe that investors benefit from seeing results from the perspective of management in addition to seeing results presented in accordance with GAAP for the same reasons and purposes for which management uses such non-GAAP financial measures.
