Graybar Electric Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Stated in millions, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
Graybar Electric Company, Inc. (“Graybar”, “Company”, "we", "our", or "us") is a New York corporation, incorporated in 1925. We are engaged in the distribution of electrical and communications and data networking products and are a provider of related supply chain management and logistics services. We primarily serve customers in the construction, commercial, institutional and government ("CIG"), and industrial & utility vertical markets, with products and services that support new construction, infrastructure updates, building renovation, facility maintenance, repair and operations ("MRO"), and original equipment manufacturers ("OEM"). In our primary role as third-party wholesale distributor, we neither manufacture nor contract to manufacture the products that we sell; however, one of our subsidiaries may contract to manufacture some of its private label lighting fixtures. Our business activity is primarily based in the United States (“U.S.”). We also have subsidiary operations with distribution facilities in Canada and Puerto Rico.
Our accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP”) and are applied on a consistent basis among all years presented. Significant accounting policies are described below.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Graybar pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that our disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Sales revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, which is typically upon delivery of the product to the customer. Sometimes product is purchased from the manufacturer and drop-shipped to the customer. We generally take control of the goods when shipped by the manufacturer and then recognize revenue when control of the product transfers to the customer. Revenues recognized are primarily for product sales, but may also include freight and handling charges. Our standard warehouse shipping terms are FOB shipping point, under which control passes to the customer at the time of shipment. We also earn revenue for professional services, general contracting services, and storage services. Such service revenue represented less than
months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Revenue is reported net of all taxes, primarily sales tax, assessed by governmental authorities as a result of revenue-producing transactions.
Our inventory, comprised entirely of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost (generally determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) cost method) or market. Inventories valued using the LIFO method comprised
The functional currency for our Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, its balance sheet amounts are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period and its statements of income amounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the current period. Currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
We account for postretirement benefits other than pensions by accruing the costs of benefits to be provided over the eligible employees’ periods of active service. These costs are determined on an actuarial basis. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect the funded status of postretirement benefits.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liabilities, and non-current operating lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts related to finance leases are included in property, current portion of long-term debt, and long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized and measured on the date the underlying asset is made available to us.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
For certain leases, such as real estate and information technology (“IT”) equipment, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. For all other leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components separately. We have elected as an accounting policy not to apply the recognition requirements for short-term leases. Therefore, leases with a term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease expenses associated with short-term leases are immaterial and are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income in selling, general and administrative expenses. Additionally, for certain vehicle leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities.
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU” or “Update”) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” that provides temporary relief to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative rates. This Update is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The guidance on contract modifications, which is applicable to Graybar, can be applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020 and may also be applied to modifications of existing contracts made earlier in the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. We have evaluated the impact of the adoption of the Update on our contracts and our consolidated financial statements. We do not engage in hedging transactions and we have the option under our Amended Credit Agreement, as defined in Note 5, “Debt”, to continue to use LIBOR until June 30, 2023. As such, this Update does not have a material impact on our contracts and our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which requires companies to apply ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. This creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805, which uses fair value. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance should be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the Update on our consolidated financial statements, and the adoption would be dependent upon whether we pursue any acquisitions in the future.
The following table summarizes the percentages of our net sales attributable to each of our vertical markets for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

We were in compliance with all covenants under the Prudential Shelf Agreement and the MetLife Shelf Agreement as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Letters of Credit
We have a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the "Pension Plan") covering substantially all employees first hired prior to July 1, 2015 after the completion of
Our funding policy is to make contributions to the Pension Plan, provided that the total annual contributions will not be less than the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the Pension Protection Act of 2006 minimums or greater than the maximum tax-deductible amount, to review the contribution and funding strategy on a regular basis, and to allow discretionary contributions to be made by us from time to time. The assets of the Pension Plan are invested primarily in fixed income investments and equity securities. We pay nonqualified pension benefits when they are due according to the terms of the supplemental benefit plan.
We provide certain postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits to retired employees. Substantially all of our employees hired or rehired prior to 2014 may become eligible for postretirement medical benefits if they reach the age and service requirements of the retiree medical plan and retire on a pension (except a deferred pension) under the Pension Plan. Medical benefits are self-insured and claims are administered through a third party administrator. The cost of coverage is determined based on the annual projected plan costs. The participant's premium or cost is determined based on Company guidelines. Postretirement life insurance benefits are insured through an insurance company. We fund postretirement benefits as incurred, and accordingly, there were no assets held in the postretirement benefits plan at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and our audited consolidated financial statements, notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for such period as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The results shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods.
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”), Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes”, “projects”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “intends”, “strategy”, “plan”, “may”, “will”, “would”,
“will be”, “will continue”, “will likely result”, and other similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the PSLRA. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse impact on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: general economic conditions, particularly in the residential, commercial, and industrial building construction industries; a sustained interruption in the operation of our information systems; the ongoing impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; volatility in the prices of industrial commodities; cyber-attacks; increased funding requirements and expenses related to our pension plan; disruptions in our sources of supply; the inability, or limitations on our ability, to borrow under our existing credit facilities or any replacements thereof; adverse legal proceedings or other claims; compliance with changing governmental regulations; and the inability, or limitations on our ability, to raise debt or equity capital. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless otherwise required by applicable securities law. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially impact our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the Commission. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, a number of which are outlined in Item 1A., “Risk Factors”, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
All dollar amounts, except per share data, are stated in millions in the following discussion and accompanying tables.
Background
Graybar Electric Company, Inc. (“Graybar”, “Company”, "we", "our", or "us") is a New York corporation, incorporated in 1925. We are engaged in the distribution of electrical and communications and data networking products and are a provider of related supply chain management and logistics services. We primarily serve customers in the construction, commercial, institutional and government ("CIG"), and industrial & utility vertical markets, with products and services that support new construction, infrastructure updates, building renovation, facility maintenance, repair and operations ("MRO"), and original equipment manufacturers ("OEM"). In our primary role as third-party wholesale distributor, we neither manufacture nor contract to manufacture the products that we sell; however, one of our subsidiaries may contract to manufacture some of its private label lighting fixtures. Our business activity is primarily based in the United States ("U.S."). We also have subsidiary operations with distribution facilities in Canada and Puerto Rico.
Our common stock is 100% owned by active and retired employees, and there is no public trading market for our common stock. No holder of our common stock or voting trust interests representing our common stock (“common stock”, “common shares”, or “shares”) may sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any shares without first offering us the option to purchase those shares at the price at which they were issued. We also have the option to purchase at the issue price the common shares of any shareholder who ceases to be an employee for any reason other than death or "retirement" (as defined in our amended restated certificate of incorporation), and on the first anniversary of any holder's death. In the past, we have always exercised these purchase options, and we expect to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. However, we can make no assurance that we will continue to exercise our purchase option in the future. All outstanding shares have been issued at $20.00 per share.
Business Overview
Our net sales for the first quarter of 2022 increased $481.3 million, or 25.3%, to $2,381.8 million, compared to $1,900.5 million for the first quarter of 2021. This was a new quarterly net sales record for the Company. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2022
increased $118.4 million, or 32.8%, to $479.3 million, compared to gross margin of $360.9 million for the same three-month period ended March 31, 2021. Several factors contributed to increased net sales and gross margin, including favorable conditions in our industry, price inflation, and a favorable sales mix. Our gross margin rate increased to 20.1% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 19.0% for the first quarter of 2021.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $46.1 million, or 16.6%, to $324.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $277.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to higher labor and transportation costs. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased to 13.6% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 14.6% for the same period in 2021.
Income from operations increased $71.9 million, or 100.8%, to $143.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $71.3 million for the same three-month period last year. Our increase in gross margin, partially offset by the increase in SG&A expenses, contributed to this improvement. As a result, net income attributable to Graybar Electric Company, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $55.0 million, or 116.5%, to $102.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $47.2 million for the same three-month period last year.
While the overall economy continues to grow, the markets we serve may continue to be affected by variables such as supply chain constraints, raw material shortages, price inflation, geopolitical tensions, labor issues, and the ongoing spread of COVID-19 and its variants. We remain focused on providing an exceptional service to our customers, minimizing potential risks, and maintaining our strong financial position.

Net sales increased to $2,381.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1,900.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $481.3 million, or 25.3%. Net sales in our construction, CIG, and industrial & utility vertical markets increased by 23.5%, 22.6%, and 36.5%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same three-month period of 2021.
Gross margin increased $118.4 million, or 32.8%, to $479.3 million from $360.9 million due to increased net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period of 2021. Our gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 20.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 19.0% for the same three-month period in 2021. The increase in gross margin rate was primarily due to a favorable sales mix and gross margin initiatives.
SG&A expenses increased $46.1 million, or 16.6%, to $324.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $277.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, mainly due to higher compensation and benefit-related expenses and
higher outgoing freight expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, down from 14.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $0.8 million, or 6.6%, to $13.0 million from $12.2 million for the same three-month period in 2021, due to higher intangibles amortization expense and an increase in property, at cost. Total property, at cost, at March 31, 2022 was $1,066.5 million, an increase of $53.2 million, or 5.3%, when compared to total property, at cost, at March 31, 2021 of $1,013.3 million. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net sales totaled 0.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, down from 0.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Non-operating expenses decreased $2.3 million, or 29.5%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $7.8 million for the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in non-service cost components of pension net periodic benefit costs of $2.8 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense, net of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same three-month period in 2021. The increase in interest expense, net was due to higher levels of average outstanding short-term borrowings and higher interest rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same three-month period in 2021.
Income before provision for income taxes totaled $137.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $74.2 million, or 116.9%, from $63.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to our increase in gross margin partially offset by increases in SG&A expenses.
Our total provision for income taxes increased $19.1 million, or 117.9%, to $35.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $16.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in our provision for income taxes year over year resulted from increased pretax income. Our year-to-date effective tax rate was 25.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 25.5% for 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was higher than the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state, local, and foreign income taxes.
Net income attributable to Graybar Electric Company, Inc. for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 increased $55.0 million, or 116.5%, to $102.2 million from $47.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
We manage our liquidity and capital levels so that we have the capability to invest in the growth of our business, meet debt service obligations, finance anticipated capital expenditures, pay dividends, make benefit payments, finance information technology needs, fund acquisitions and finance other miscellaneous cash outlays. We believe that maintaining a strong company financial condition enables us to competitively access multiple financing channels, maintain an optimal cost of capital and invest in strategic long-term growth plans.
We have historically funded our working capital requirements using cash flows generated from the collection of trade receivables and trade accounts payable terms with our suppliers, supplemented by short-term bank lines of credit, if necessary. Capital expenditures have been financed primarily with cash from working capital management and short-term bank lines of credit.
Our cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2022 were $44.0 million, compared to $48.5 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 9.3%. Cash on hand at March 31, 2022 is reflective of strong cash flows from operating activities as a result of increased net income and effective working capital management. As a result, short-term borrowings decreased by $54.2 million, or 43.6%, to $70.0 million at March 31, 2022, from $124.2 million at December 31, 2021. Current assets exceeded current liabilities by $834.0 million at March 31, 2022, an increase of $103.7 million, or 14.2%, from $730.3 million at December 31, 2021.
Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $58.2 million, compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $68.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $10.5 million, or 15.3%. Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to net income of $102.4 million adjusted for an increase in trade accounts payable of $134.0 million and an increase in other current liabilities of $18.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by an increase in trade accounts receivable of $90.5 million, an increase in merchandise inventory levels of $57.7 million and a decrease in accrued payroll and benefit costs of $44.7 million from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
The average number of days of sales in trade receivables for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 increased moderately compared to the same three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The days in inventory increased significantly for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities totaled $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net cash used by investing activities of $9.8 million for the same three-month period in 2021, a decrease of $1.8 million. The decrease was due to lower capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $54.7 million, compared to net cash used by financing activities of $51.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $3.4 million. The increase was primarily due to net payments on short-term borrowings of $54.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net payments on short-term borrowings of $50.0 million in the same three-month period in 2021.
Liquidity
Our cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2022 were $44.0 million, compared to $48.5 million at December 31, 2021. We also had a $750.0 million amended committed revolving credit facility (“Amended Credit Agreement”) with $679.6 million in available capacity at March 31, 2022, compared to available capacity of $625.4 million at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we also had two uncommitted, unsecured private placement shelf agreements ("Shelf Agreements"). One of the Shelf Agreements is expected to allow us to issue senior promissory notes up to $100.0 million to PGIM, Inc. at fixed rate terms to be agreed upon at the time of any issuance during a three-year issuance period ending in August 2023. Our other Shelf Agreement is expected to allow us to issue senior promissory notes up to $150.0 million to MetLife Investment Management, LLC (formerly known as MetLife Investment Advisors, LLC), and MetLife Investment Management Limited (collectively, “MetLife”) and each other MetLife affiliate that becomes party to the agreement at fixed or floating rate economic terms to be agreed upon at the time of any issuance during a three-year issuance period ending in June 2024.
We have not issued any notes under the Shelf Agreements as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. For further discussion related to our Amended Credit Agreement and our Shelf Agreements, refer to Note 5, "Debt", of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements located in Item 1., “Financial Statements”, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We had total letters of credit of $6.1 million outstanding at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, of which $0.4 million was issued under the Amended Credit Agreement. The letters of credit are issued primarily to support certain workers' compensation insurance policies.
New Accounting Standards Updates
Our adoption of new accounting standards is discussed in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements located in Item 1., "Financial Statements", of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in the policies, procedures, controls, or risk profile from those provided in Item 7A., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2022, was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Our common stock is 100% owned by active and retired employees, and there is no public trading market for our common stock. Since 1928, substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock have been held of record by voting trustees under successive voting trust agreements. A new Voting Trust Agreement was established effective March 3, 2017, which expires by its terms on March 1, 2027, because under applicable New York law, a voting trust may not have a term greater than ten years. At March 31, 2022, approximately 83% of our outstanding common stock was held in the voting trust. The participation of shareholders in the voting trust is voluntary at the time the voting trust is created, but is irrevocable during its term. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the voting trust hold their common stock as shareholders of record. Shareholders may elect to participate in the voting trust at any time during the term of the voting trust.
No holder of our common stock or voting trust interests representing our common stock ("common stock", "common shares", or "shares") may sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any shares without first offering us the option to purchase those shares at the price at which they were issued. We also have the option to purchase at the issue price the common shares of any shareholder who ceases to be an employee for any cause other than death or "retirement" (as defined in our amended restated certificate of incorporation), and on the first anniversary of any holder's death. In the past, we have always exercised these purchase options, and we expect to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. However, we can make no assurance that we will continue to exercise our purchase option in the future. All outstanding shares have been issued at $20.00 per share.
The following table sets forth information regarding purchases of common stock by the Company, all of which were made pursuant to the foregoing provisions:
