## What management 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" Martina McIsaac, President and Chief Executive Officer (8-K filed Oct 22, 2026). Source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1003078/000100307826000108/exhibit991earningspressrel.htm
- "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%" Rob Kuhns, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (8-K filed Oct 22, 2026).
