Rhea-AI Summary

MSC Industrial Supply Co. reported fiscal 2024 third quarter results, highlighting a 7.1% YoY decline in net sales to $979.4 million. The decline included a 300 basis point headwind from non-repeating Public Sector orders in the previous year. Operating income fell to $106.8 million, with an adjusted figure of $111.5 million. Operating margin was reported at 10.9%, or 11.4% adjusted. Diluted EPS decreased to $1.27, while adjusted EPS was $1.33, both showing significant YoY drops. CEO Erik Gershwind noted unexpected gross margin pressure and sluggish recovery in average daily sales as factors contributing to the below-expectations performance. The full-year outlook has been revised, anticipating a 4.3%-4.7% decline in ADS growth and an adjusted operating margin of 10.5%-10.7%.

Insights

From a financial perspective, MSC Industrial Supply Co.'s Q3 results show a decline in net sales by 7.1% YoY to $979.4 million. This drop is partially attributed to a significant decrease in non-repeating Public Sector orders. Despite the decline, the company managed to maintain a positive operating margin of 10.9%, though it was lower compared to the previous year's 12.8%. Adjusted figures also showed a drop, with adjusted operating income down by 19.6% and adjusted diluted EPS down by 23.6%.

For retail investors, the key takeaway here is the decline in both revenue and profitability metrics. The short-term outlook is challenging, as indicated by the revised guidance, which now projects a decrease in average daily sales (ADS) and a lower adjusted operating margin. However, the company's strong cash flow generation could be seen as a mitigating factor, highlighting its ability to generate cash even in tougher times.

Looking at the long-term, MSC has already taken corrective actions focusing on improving gross margin and enhancing web capabilities. If these initiatives prove effective, they could support a recovery. The investor should also note MSC's strategic pillars aimed at reenergizing core customers and optimizing costs, which are important for long-term growth. The diluted EPS reduction to $1.27 from $1.69 is a metric to watch.

The industrial supply sector has faced broad-based challenges and MSC's performance mirrors some of these industry-wide issues. The public sector order reduction is noteworthy as it was a one-time event; this won't impact future comparisons, potentially setting up for easier YoY comparisons in subsequent quarters. Additionally, the decline in the manufacturing verticals where MSC is heavily exposed is a reflection of broader economic trends, including potential slowdowns in industrial activity.

Investors should consider the competitive landscape and how MSC is positioning itself. The company's initiatives to enhance web capabilities are a response to increasing digitalization in the supply chain. If successful, this could attract a broader customer base and improve efficiency. However, the impact of these initiatives on the revenue and margins will need to be closely monitored. The focus on optimizing cost to serve could also help MSC navigate through this challenging period more effectively.

While the near-term outlook has been adjusted downward, the efforts to reenergize the core customer base and improve operational efficiencies are positive steps. These actions could provide upside potential if executed well, but caution is warranted given the macroeconomic uncertainties.

FISCAL 2024 Q3 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Net sales of $979.4 million decreased 7.1% YoY and includes a roughly 300 basis point headwind from non-repeating Public Sector orders in the prior year
  • Operating income of $106.8 million, or $111.5 million adjusted to exclude restructuring and other costs1
  • Operating margin of 10.9%, or 11.4% excluding the adjustments described above1
  • Diluted EPS of $1.27 vs. $1.69 in the prior fiscal year quarter
  • Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.33 vs. $1.74 in the prior fiscal year quarter1

4 Based on 56.2 million and 56.1 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for FY23 Q3 and FY23 YTD, respectively.

Erik Gershwind, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "As announced on June 13th, we began the second half of our fiscal year with unexpected gross margin pressure and a slower than expected recovery in average daily sales, particularly within our Core customer base. As a result, our third quarter performance was below expectations and led to a revised full year outlook. We responded with swift corrective actions to improve gross margin trending and accelerate progress on the rollout of our web enhancements." 

Kristen Actis-Grande, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "Average daily sales declined 7.1% in the fiscal third quarter driven by non-repeating Public Sector orders in the prior year and softness in manufacturing verticals where we have heavy exposure. While we are encouraged by continued strong cash flow generation, these results nonetheless fell below our expectations. We are laser focused on realizing the expected benefits of our organic growth investments to drive progress towards our long-term targets." 

Gershwind concluded, "Looking forward, as our corrective actions take hold, we will remain steadfast in our approach to unlocking the value creation potential of MSC. We are doing this by leaning into the core pillars of our Mission Critical initiatives — Maintaining Momentum, Reenergizing the Core Customer, and Optimizing Cost to Serve. While results to date in fiscal 2024 are not up to our standards, we are confident we have the talent and strategy in place to achieve our long-term goals and create meaningful value for all stakeholders."

The Company defines Operating Cash Flow Conversion as Net cash provided by operating activities as a percentage of Net income. The Company's management uses Operating Cash Flow Conversion to evaluate the Company's operating performance, in particular how efficiently the Company turns its sales and profits into cash, and to assess the efficiency of the Company's use of working capital. The Company believes Operating Cash Flow Conversion is useful to investors for the foregoing reasons and as a measure of the rate at which the Company converts its net income reported in accordance with GAAP to cash inflows, which helps investors assess whether the Company is generating sufficient cash flow to provide an adequate return.

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, including 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, acquisition-related costs, share reclassification costs, 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 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, Acquisition-Related Costs and Share Reclassification Costs 

In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude restructuring and other costs, acquisition-related costs and share reclassification costs, 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.
