ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Graybar, a leading distributor of electrical, communications and data networking products and provider of related supply chain management and logistics services, reported Thursday that it surpassed $3 billion in quarterly net sales for the first time in company history.
Graybar’s net sales for the second quarter of this year set a new quarterly record of $3 billion, an increase of 7.6% compared to the same period last year. Net income attributable to Graybar for the quarter finished at $110.4 million, an 11.1% decrease from the second quarter of 2023.
For the first half of 2024, the company reported net sales of $5.7 billion, a 5% increase compared to the same period last year. Net income attributable to Graybar for the first six months of 2024 decreased 13.4% to $215.6 million. The decrease in net income for three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was due in part to the company’s investments in Graybar Connect, its multi-year, strategic business transformation project.
