In the High-Touch Solutions – N.A. segment, sales were up 3.4% on both a daily and constant currency basis compared to the third quarter of 2024. Results for the segment were driven by volume growth and improving price contribution as tariff costs are passed. In the Endless Assortment segment, sales were up 18.2%, or 14.6% on a daily, constant currency basis, compared to the third quarter of 2024. Growth for the segment was driven by strong performance at both MonotaRO and Zoro.

In the High-Touch Solutions – N.A. segment, gross profit margin was 41.1%, a 50 basis point decrease compared to the prior year quarter as tariff-related inflation caused unfavorable price / cost timing and last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation headwinds.
