Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Global Industrial Company, (the "Company" or "Global Industrial"), with its subsidiaries are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Global Industrial Company, through its operating subsidiaries, is a value-added distributor currently offering hundreds of thousands of industrial and maintenance, repair and operation ("MRO") products in North America going to market through a system of branded e-commerce websites and relationship marketers. The Company operates and is internally managed in one reportable business segment. The Company sells a wide array of industrial and MRO products, markets the Company has served since 1949. Because of the large number of products and product categories the Company offers, providing information on the amount of revenue derived from transactions with external customers for each product or groupings of product is impractical. As previously disclosed, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Indoff LLC ("Indoff''), a business-to-business direct marketer of material handling products, commercial interior products and business products with operations in North America, on May 19, 2023 for approximately $72.6 million in cash. The Indoff accounts are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition (see Note 2). In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, statements of comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The December 31, 2023 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and for the year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The results for the six month period ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Global Industrial Company manages its business and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year that ends at midnight on the Saturday closest to December 31. For clarity of presentation herein, fiscal years and quarters are referred to as if they ended on the traditional calendar month. The actual fiscal second quarters ended on June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, respectively. The second quarters of both 2024 and 2023 included 13 weeks and the first six months of both 2024 and 2023 included 26 weeks. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Public companies in the United States are subject to the accounting and reporting requirements of various authorities, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These authorities issue numerous pronouncements, most of which are not applicable to the Company’s current or reasonably foreseeable operating structure. In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public business entities to disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
