FISCAL Q2 2018 HIGHLIGHTS

· Operating income of $98.1 million, an increase of approximately 13.2% YoY

· Operating margin of 12.8%, a 50 basis point expansion YoY

· Diluted EPS of $2.06, which includes one-time tax adjustments, versus $0.93 in the prior year quarter

MELVILLE, NY and DAVIDSON, NC, APRIL 10, 2018 - MSC INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY CO. (NYSE: MSM),  "MSC" or the "Company," a premier distributor of Metalworking and Maintenance, Repair and Operations ("MRO") products and services to industrial customers throughout North America,  today reported financial results for its fiscal 2018 second quarter ended March 3, 2018.

Financial Highlights1	FY18 Q2		FY17 Q2		Change	FY18 YTD		FY17 YTD		Change

Diluted EPS	$2.06	.2	$0.93	.3	121.5%	$3.12	2	$1.89	3	65.1%

1In millions except per share data or as otherwise noted. 2Based on 56.9 million and 56.7 million diluted shares outstanding for FY18 Q2 and FY18 YTD, respectively.  3  Based on 57.2 million and 56.9 million diluted shares outstanding for FY17 Q2 and FY17 YTD, respectively. 

Reported results include a tax benefit attributable to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which has the following components:

· A provisional benefit of $41.2 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, from the revaluation of the company’s tax related balance sheet items; and

· A benefit of $16.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, attributable to the lower effective tax rate required to bring our first half into alignment with the expected full year rate.

Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 excluding the positive impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was $1.04 per share, up 11.8% over the prior year.

Erik Gershwind, president and chief executive officer, said, "The manufacturing environment in the second fiscal quarter remained firm, and customer outlook remained positive. The pricing environment also continued to improve, and we implemented a moderate price increase in late January. As a result, we delivered improved gross margins, which along with productivity, resulted in strong incremental margins. We remain focused on growing technical and high-touch areas to create a deeper moat around our business, and while I am pleased with our progress, we have room for further improvement. Strengthening market demand and a better pricing environment, coupled with a continuing focus on driving productivity and our decision to begin growing our sales force, bode well for an even better future."

Rustom Jilla, executive vice president and chief financial officer, added, "Our reported fiscal second quarter average daily sales rose 9.3%, gross margin was 43.9%, operating expenses to sales improved to 31.1%, and operating income rose 13.2%. Excluding the impact of the DECO acquisition, our organic average daily sales growth was 5.0%, our gross margin was flat with the prior year, our operating expenses to sales ratio improved by 90 basis points, and operating income rose 12.8%, demonstrating strong leverage.* We also had another quarter of solid cash generation, with year to date net cash from operations up 22% on the prior year. During the quarter, we repurchased shares and paid out a dividend of 58 cents per share, up 29% from the prior year, indicative of our commitment to allocating capital to enhance total shareholder returns."

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

MSC INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY CO. REPORTS FISCAL 2018 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

· Results excluding DECO Tool Supply Co

· Results excluding (a)provisional one-time tax benefit and (b)adjustment from applying lower YTD rate due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”)

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 acquisition of DECO Tool Supply Co. (“DECO”) on July 31, 2017. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude, for the thirteen and twenty-six-week periods ended March 3, 2018, the net estimated impact of the TCJA passed in December 2017, as these items will significantly impact comparability between years. This provisional benefit is an estimate subject to adjustment during a 12-month measurement period.

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 DECO and the tax benefits attributable to the TCJA 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 on-going 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
