4 Based on 56.2 million and 56.4 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for FY24 Q4 and FY24, respectively.

Erik Gershwind, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our fourth quarter results are evidence of the progress we are making through our Mission Critical strategy. We entered the year with three focus areas— maintain momentum in our high touch solutions, reenergize our core customer and optimize our cost to serve. As a result of execution in each of these priorities, we returned to daily sales growth in the fiscal fourth quarter for both the Core Customer and the total company. In fact, the Core Customer growth rate outpaced company average. We also returned to growth in earnings per share, with adjusted EPS in the quarter improving over 5% year over year. I am grateful for the hard work and dedication of our team members this year in supporting our goals.”

Greg Clark, Interim Chief Financial Officer, added, "We finished the year on a positive note with average daily sales improving 2.7% compared to the prior year and adjusted operating margin of 9.2% both of which exceeded our outlook. Cash generation remained favorable during the quarter resulting in free cash flow conversion of 122% for the fiscal year, ahead of our annual target. We leveraged this strong cash flow performance and our healthy balance sheet to return approximately $229 million to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.”

Martina McIsaac, President and Chief Operating Officer, concluded, "Looking out, I am encouraged by our performance exiting the fiscal year. As momentum builds, I gain increased confidence in our position to deliver profitable growth in fiscal 2026. We will continue advancing our growth initiatives and identifying areas to generate productivity, both of which are creating a strong foundation for future profitable growth. Our goal remains simple — to restore performance consistent with our long-term objectives of growing to 400 basis points or more above the IP Index and expanding adjusted operating margins to the mid-teens."

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, loss on sale of property, share reclassification litigation costs, share reclassification costs (prior year) and acquisition-related costs (prior year) and tax effects, as well as free cash flow conversion, which is a measure calculated using free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure.

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, capital expenditures 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.


•Free Cash Flow (“FCF”) and Free Cash Flow Conversion (“FCF Conversion”)

FCF is 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 finance 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. FCF 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. A reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to FCF, operating cash flow conversion and FCF conversion for the fiscal quarters and years ended August 30, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively, is shown below.


•Results Excluding Restructuring and Other Costs, Loss on Sale of Property, Share Reclassification Litigation Costs, Share Reclassification Costs (prior year) and Acquisition-Related Costs (prior year)

In calculating certain non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude restructuring and other costs, loss on sale of property, share reclassification litigation costs, share reclassification costs (prior year) and acquisition-related costs (prior year) and tax effects. Management makes these adjustments to facilitate a review of the Company’s operating performance on a comparable basis between periods, for comparison 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.
