Barry Litwin, Chief Executive Officer, said, "2022 was an outstanding year for Global Industrial as we executed against our ACE strategy and delivered a record financial performance for total revenue, as well as gross and operating margin. For the full year, we added $100 million in revenue, resulting in a 9.7% increase in net sales. Gross margin improved 90 basis points to 36.1% and we delivered a 9.0% operating margin, a 70 basis point improvement from 2021. With the strong financial performance in 2022, today we announced an increase in the quarterly recurring dividend for the 7th consecutive year. Fourth quarter results reflect the impact of economic headwinds and flat price/volume comparisons from the year ago period, which benefited from strong price realization. We were very pleased with the proactive management of gross margin in the quarter as we recorded improvement on a sequential basis and remain confident in our ability to manage our margin profile in the current cycle."

"As we enter 2023, we believe we have a strong game plan and a clear vision for our team to execute on. While uncertainty remains in the economic outlook, we are optimistic and excited by the opportunities we see for growth including, our ability to attract new enterprise customers, penetrate new vertical markets including healthcare and hospitality, expand our Global Industrial Exclusive Brand products, and deliver an innovative and personalized e-commerce experience. With strong cash flow from operations, and an exceptional balance sheet, we remain well-positioned to execute on our strategy, invest in our growth drivers, and build long-term value for our stakeholders."

At December 31, 2022, the Company had total working capital of $172.6 million, cash and cash equivalents of $28.5 million, debt of $0.6 million and availability under its credit facility of approximately $111.7 million. Operating cash flow generated by continuing operations in the quarter was approximately $26.3 million. The Company's Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share to common stock shareholders of record at the close of business on March 6, 2023, payable on March 13, 2023. The Company anticipates continuing a regular quarterly dividend in the future.
