Executive summary
Revenue grew 9.2% year-over-year to $350.4 million, with average daily sales up 7.6% and operating income up 13.2% to $20.6 million, driven by both price and volume gains, especially among strategic accounts.
Net income from continuing operations rose 13.3% to $15.3 million, with diluted EPS from continuing operations up 11.4% to $0.39.
Canada posted exceptional performance with 24.4% revenue growth in local currency, marking the third consecutive quarter of double-digit top-line growth.
Strategic initiatives, including customer vertical realignment, expanded e-procurement, and enhanced digital experience, are supporting sustainable growth and deepening customer relationships.
The company remains focused on margin management amid macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds, including elevated fuel prices and potential new tariffs.
Financial highlights
Gross profit was $121.9 million; gross margin was 34.8%, down 10 basis points year-over-year due to higher fuel surcharges and product mix shifts.
Operating margin improved to 5.9% from 5.7% in Q1 2025.
SG&A as a percentage of sales improved by 40 basis points year-over-year to 28.9%.
Net income from discontinued operations was $1.3 million, with total net income reaching $16.6 million.
Operating cash flow from continuing operations was $4.7 million; capital expenditures were $800,000 for the quarter.
Outlook and guidance
Revenue growth in the mid to high single digits has continued into the second quarter.
Management anticipates margin headwinds in spring and summer due to sustained high fuel prices, evolving tariff risks, and the non-repeat of prior year FIFO-related timing benefits.
Second quarter will face a modest timing headwind due to the 4th of July holiday shift, impacting June revenue.
Price appreciation benefits are expected to moderate as the company laps prior pricing actions.
Capital expenditures for 2026 are projected at $3.0–$4.0 million.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
