Vice President of Investor Relations
Good morning. Welcome to Grainger’s Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. With me are D.G. Macpherson, Chairman and CEO; and Laurie Thomson, Vice President and Interim CFO.
As a reminder, some of our comments today may include forward-looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Additional information regarding factors that could cause actual results to differ materially is included in the company’s most recent Form 8-K and other periodic reports filed with the SEC. This morning’s call will focus on our non-GAAP adjusted results for the third quarter of 2026, which exclude transaction-related costs associated with the technology acquisition we completed in the period.
We have also included organic revenue adjustments in the presentation, which normalized sales growth to reflect our exit from the U.K. market, including the Cromwell divestiture and the closure of Zoro U.K., both of which were completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. Definitions and full reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures with their corresponding GAAP measures are
