<p class="has-drop-cap">MSC Industrial Supply Co. (NYSE: MSM) reported its <a href="https://investor.mscdirect.com/2024-07-02-MSC-INDUSTRIAL-SUPPLY-CO-REPORTS-FISCAL-2024-THIRD-QUARTER-RESULTS" target="_blank" aria-label="fiscal 2024 third-quarter results (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">fiscal 2024 third-quarter results</a>, showcasing a notable decline in key financial metrics compared to the same period last year. Net sales for the quarter stood at $979.4 million, representing a 7.1% decrease year-over-year.</p>
<p>This decline was attributed to a non-repeating public sector order from the prior year, which created a 300 basis point headwind. Operating income for the quarter was $106.8 million, or $111.5 million when adjusted for restructuring and other costs, resulting in an operating margin of 10.9%, or 11.4% on an adjusted basis. <br><br>The <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">diluted EPS</a> was reported at $1.27, down from $1.69 in the previous fiscal year, while the adjusted diluted EPS was $1.33, compared to $1.74 in the prior year.</p>
<h3 id="msc-industrial-supply-co-misses-eps-and-revenue-expectations-in-q3">MSC Industrial Supply Co. Misses EPS and Revenue Expectations in Q3</h3>
<p>The company’s performance fell short of expectations, which had anticipated an EPS of $1.34 and revenue of $999.64 million. The actual EPS of $1.27 (adj. $1.33) and revenue of $979.4 million were both below these projections. <br><br>This shortfall was further highlighted by a 24.7% drop in net income attributable to MSC, which was $71.7 million compared to $95.2 million in the same quarter last year. The adjusted net income also saw a decline, standing at $75.2 million, down 22.9% from $97.5 million in the prior year. The company’s gross profit for the quarter was $400.4 million, reflecting a decrease from $428.9 million in the previous year.</p>
<p>The company’s leadership acknowledged the underperformance, attributing it to unexpected gross margin pressure and a slower-than-expected recovery in average daily sales, particularly within its core customer base. <br><br>CEO Erik Gershwind noted that these factors led to a revised full-year outlook, necessitating swift corrective actions to improve gross margin trends and accelerate progress on web enhancements. CFO Kristen Actis-Grande added that the average daily sales decline of 7.1% was driven by the absence of last year’s public sector orders and softness in manufacturing verticals.</p>

The company now expects average daily sales (ADS) growth to decline between 4.7% and 4.3%, a significant adjustment from the previous forecast of 0% to 5% growth. <br><br>The adjusted operating margin is projected to be between 10.5% and 10.7%, down from the earlier estimate of 12.0% to 12.8%. Depreciation and amortization expenses are expected to be around $80 million, slightly lower than the previous forecast of $85 million.

The company maintains its operating cash flow conversion target at over 125%, and the tax rate is projected to remain between 24.0% and 24.5%.</p>
