1 Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. An explanation and a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented in the schedules accompanying this press release.

2 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.

3 In millions except percentages and per share data or as otherwise noted.

4 Based on 56.1 million and 56.0 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for FY26 Q4 and FY26, respectively.

5 Based on 55.9 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for FY25 Q4 and FY25.

Martina McIsaac, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We had a strong finish to fiscal 2026, with fourth quarter results exceeding our expectations and sales achieving record quarterly levels. Underpinning this performance was core customer growth of approximately 10%—our strongest in more than three years—and accelerating growth in National Accounts. These results provide further evidence that MSC is heading in the right direction, and that the changes we have made to drive profitable growth are taking hold.”

Rob Kuhns, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "Average daily sales exceeded the high end of our guided range, driven by price benefits and stronger volumes that yielded year-over-year improvement of 8.6%. Further progress on our cost structure, combined with this better-than-expected growth, led to an adjusted operating margin of 10.9%—exceeding the high end of our outlook—and an adjusted incremental operating margin of roughly 27%.”

McIsaac concluded, "While we remain mindful of inflationary headwinds and tougher comparisons looking ahead, we are confident that profitable growth will remain the trend. Our strategic execution is building momentum as our end markets continue to improve. This positions MSC well entering fiscal 2027, as demonstrated by first-quarter sales trends showing low double-digit growth to date."
