* The actual fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2016.  The fourth quarters of 2016 and 2015 included 13 and 14 weeks, respectively; the full fiscal years of 2016 and 2015 included 52 and 53 weeks, respectively.


** On December 1, 2015 the Company closed on the sale of certain assets of its North American Technology Group ("NATG").  Pursuant to this transaction, the Company is winding down the remaining operations of NATG during 2016 and continuing into 2017.   In the GAAP presentation, the retail operations which were discontinued by the Company prior to the transaction, along with allocations of common distribution and back office costs, are presented as part of the Company's continuing operations for all periods; other NATG operations that were sold (as well as the remaining retail operations that existed at the time of the transaction (and were subsequently discontinued by the Company) are presented as discontinued operations for all periods.  The non-GAAP results reflect the entire NATG segment as a discontinued operation for all periods presented as well as adjustments for non-recurring items, intangible amortization, equity compensation and a normalized effective tax rate in recurring operations.  On September 2, 2016 the Company closed on the sale of certain assets of its Misco Germany operation which has been reported as part of its European Technology Products Group. Prior and current year results of Germany have been eliminated in the non-GAAP presentation.  On December 31, 2016 the Company closed on the sale of its Afligo rebate processing business.  Prior and current year results of the rebate processing business, along with the associated gain on the sale, have been eliminated in the non-GAAP presentation.  The Company believes that the non-GAAP presentation conveys additional more meaningful information to investors.  See accompanying GAAP reconciliation tables.

Larry Reinhold, Chief Executive Officer, said, "To support our growth and improve profitability, during the past year we have significantly streamlined our corporate structure while continuing to invest in our ongoing businesses.  The initial impacts of these efforts are reflected in our improved operating results for the quarter, as we returned to overall profitability on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis."

"In Industrial we extended our solid top line performance, with revenues reaching a record level for the full year 2016 and we had an outstanding fourth quarter with average daily sales increasing greater than many MRO market competitors.  Profitability at Industrial continues to reflect investments in sales representatives and our nationwide warehouse infrastructure.  Last week we completed our warehouse system conversion with all six of our distribution centers now on a single leading third party integrated platform and anticipate cost efficiencies in our distribution network going forward.  The business remains very well positioned and we have built a scalable infrastructure that is capable of handling higher volumes.  We expect to see profitability gains as we capitalize on our efficiency initiatives and the business continues to grow."

"Our European Technology Products Group showed improved bottom line performance for the full year and quarter as we benefited from another record quarter in France, solid gains in the Netherlands, the narrowing of our loss in the United Kingdom and the exit of our German operations.  France, led by its strong management team, delivered another quarter of double digit organic growth as it benefited from gains across its customer base, success in a number of tender bids and excellent vendor partnerships.  In the Netherlands we completed the integration of the businesses into a single organization and our solutions offerings continue to gain traction.  Finally, in the United Kingdom we narrowed our operating losses and took additional steps to enhance our management effectiveness and broaden our solutions and services offering," Reinhold concluded.

Tex Clark, Chief Financial Officer, said, "We are starting to see the benefits of our simplified structure and our productivity initiatives.  Consolidated operating income improved in the quarter, and we are seeing quicker inventory turns and improved customer service levels at Industrial.  In order to further drive profitability in our more streamlined structure, we recently took an additional action to reduce our cost structure in North America by over $5.0 million on an annualized basis.  Severance and related costs associated with this action were $0.5 million and will be reflected in our first quarter results.  We are well positioned to leverage our infrastructure and continue to grow our business in 2017 and our cash position remains strong."

At December 31, 2016, the Company had total working capital of $186.2 million, cash and cash equivalents of $149.7 million and excess availability under its credit facility of approximately $59.0 million.  The Company has significant flexibility to return capital to shareholders, execute on its business plans and continue investing in growth opportunities.  Accordingly, the Company's board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share of common stock to shareholders of record at the close of March 10, 2017, payable on March 20, 2017.  The Company anticipates continuing a regular quarterly dividend in the future.

1 On December 1, 2015 the Company closed on the sale of certain assets of its North American Technology Group ("NATG").  Pursuant to this transaction, the Company is winding down the remaining operations of NATG during 2016 and continuing into 2017.  In the GAAP presentation, the retail operations which were discontinued by the Company prior to the transaction, along with allocations of common distribution and back office costs, are presented as part of the Company's continuing operations for all periods; other NATG operations that were sold (as well as the remaining retail operations that existed at the time of the transaction (and were subsequently discontinued by the Company) are presented as discontinued operations for all periods.  The non-GAAP results reflect the entire NATG segment as a discontinued operation for all periods presented as well as adjustments for non-recurring items, intangible amortization, equity compensation and a normalized effective tax rate in recurring operations.  On September 2, 2016 the Company closed on the sale of certain assets of its Misco Germany operation which has been reported as part of its European Technology Products Group. Prior and current year results of Germany have been eliminated in the non-GAAP presentation.   On December 31, 2016 the Company closed on the sales of its Afligo rebate processing business.  Prior and current year results of the rebate processing business, along with the associated gain on the sale, have been eliminated in the non-GAAP presentation.  The Company believes that the non-GAAP presentation conveys additional more meaningful information to investors.  See accompanying GAAP reconciliation tables.
