Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the management of MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which it maintains a controlling financial interest, “MSC Industrial” or the “Company”) and in the opinion of management include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 3, 2023 and September 3, 2022, results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended June 3, 2023 and May 28, 2022, and cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 3, 2023 and May 28, 2022. The financial information as of September 3, 2022 was derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 3, 2022. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company, however, believes that the disclosures contained in this Report comply with the requirements of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 3, 2022. Fiscal Year The Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to August 31 st of each year. References to “fiscal year 2023” refer to the period from September 4, 2022 to September 2, 2023, which is a 52-week fiscal year. References to “fiscal year 2022” refer to the period from August 29, 2021 to September 3, 2022, which was a 53-week fiscal year. The fiscal quarters ended June 3, 2023 and May 28, 2022 refer to the thirteen weeks ended as of those dates. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which it maintains a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Impact of Economic Trends The United States economy has experienced and continues to experience disruptions in the supply of certain products and services and tight conditions in the labor market. These disruptions and conditions have contributed to an inflationary environment which, while falling, remains elevated and has affected the price and, at times, the availability of certain products and services necessary for the Company’s operations, including fuel, labor and certain products the Company sells or the inputs for such products. Such disruptions and conditions have impacted, and may continue to impact in the future, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. As a result of recent high inflation and periodic supply chain disruptions, the Company continues to implement price realization strategies in response to increased costs the Company faces and has invested in improved warehouse automation to mitigate the effects of labor inflation. The category line review process initiated in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 continues to progress and shows early signs of improvements in supply chain efficiency, customer experience and supplier engagement. Furthermore, in light of disruptions to availability and increased or uncertain shipping times, the Company is maintaining higher purchasing levels than it did prior to its fiscal year 2020 in order to ensure sufficient inventory supply to meet customer demand. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which provides for additional disclosures and added transparency for entities which receive government assistance. This includes disclosure of the type of government assistance received, the entity’s method of accounting, and the impact on the entity’s financial statements. This guidance is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance was adopted by the Company for fiscal year 2023 and will be applied prospectively. The Company anticipates disclosures within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2023 related to the Employee Retention Credit (the “ERC”) provision provided under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
