Erik Gershwind, president and chief executive officer, said, "The manufacturing environment maintained its positive momentum in the fiscal fourth quarter, while pricing remained relatively stable. Our sales performance continued to be impacted by our sales force effectiveness initiatives, but we are beginning to see positive results from our actions and expect stronger growth levels over the next couple of quarters. Growth in the quarter was slightly above our expectations, with Core customers seeing notable improvement, well ahead of company average, and our two acquisitions, DECO and AIS, continuing to perform well. Overall, there is a building excitement and confidence in our plan."

Rustom Jilla, executive vice president and chief financial officer, added, "Excluding the acquisitions, our base business operating margins for the quarter and year were up 30 and 50 basis points, respectively, as we achieved both gross margin stability and operating expense leverage. Our fourth quarter reported operating margin of 12.9% was down 40 basis points versus last year, entirely due to the acquisitions. Cash generation remained strong with full year Free Cash Flow* up $94 million, or up 47% over last year. This allowed us to increase ordinary dividends by 23%, acquire AIS for $88 million, buy back 2% of our outstanding shares, and reduce our leverage ratio slightly to 1.0 times."

Gershwind concluded, "In recent years, we have repositioned MSC from a spot buy supplier to a mission critical partner on manufacturing plant floors across North America. By focusing on products and services that are technical and high touch, we have cemented our leadership in metalworking and gained solid traction in the Class C VMI space. We also established a new platform in OEM Fasteners. Most recently, we redesigned our sales force to deliver upon the new, more complex and high-touch role that we are playing in enabling our customers to achieve higher levels of growth, productivity, and profitability. As we begin fiscal 2019, we are well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities ahead of us."

* An explanation and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures is presented in schedules following this press release

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

  • Free Cash Flow

Our measure of "FCF" meets the definition of a non-GAAP financial measure. FCF is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and FCF should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. FCF, which we reconcile to "Net cash provided by operating activities," is cash flow from operations reduced by "Expenditures for property, plant and equipment". We believe that FCF, although similar to cash flow from operations, is a useful additional measure since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. Management also views FCF, as a measure of the Company's ability to reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay dividends, and repurchase stock. FCF has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, FCF does not incorporate payments made on capital lease obligations or required debt service payments. In addition, different companies define FCF differently. Therefore, we believe it is important to view FCF as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows. A reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to FCF for the thirteen week periods and fiscal years ended September 1, 2018 and September 2, 2017, respectively is shown below.

  • Results excluding DECO Tool Supply Co (DECO) and All Integrated Solutions (AIS), collectively "Acquisitions"

To supplement MSC's unaudited selected financial data presented consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP net sales, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP (benefit) provision for income taxes, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, that exclude the results of our acquisitions of DECO Tool Supply Co. ("DECO") on July 31, 2017 and All Integrated Solutions ("AIS") on April 30, 2018, collectively, "Acquisitions". Beginning with the thirteen-week period ending December 1, 2018, the results of DECO are included.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect MSC's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these measures should only be used to evaluate MSC's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of the Company's performance.

In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude the results of our Acquisitions to facilitate a review of the Company's operating performance on a period-to-period basis, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. We believe that investors benefit from seeing results "through the eyes" of management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

  • the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's operating results;
  • the ability to better identify trends in the Company's underlying business and perform related trend analyses;
  • a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company's underlying business; and
  • an easier way to compare the Company's operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures
