Global Industrial Company on Tuesday reported higher sales and margin totals in its latest quarter and over the full year.
The Long Island distributor — no. 18 on ID’s latest Big 50 — posted net sales of $345.6 million in the final quarter of the year, a 14.3% increase compared to the same quarter in 2024. On a daily average basis, Q4 sales were up 7.4% year-over-year.
Gross profit rose from $102.3 million to $119.1 million over that span, while operating income from continuing operations increased from $14.5 million to $19.6 million. Gross margin climbed from 33.8% to 34.5%, and operating margin grew from 4.8% to 5.7%.
Net income from continuing operations went from $10.6 million in the previous fourth quarter to $14.6 million, which translated to earnings of $0.38 per diluted share — a more than 40% year-over-year increase.
Global Industrial CEO Anesa Chaibi said the year ended with “good momentum across the business” amid “both volume and price improvements.” For the full year, Global Industrial reported $1.38 billion in sales, a 4.8% increase from 2024.
Chaibi noted that the company also invested in its CRM system and services platforms last year to “enhance the alignment of our services and solutions.”
"We continue to make progress on our strategic initiatives, which we believe will enable us to drive profitable top-line growth, and scale the business in 2026 and beyond,” Chaibi said in a statement.
