Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Global Industrial Company, collectively with its subsidiaries (the "Company") are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Global Industrial Company, through its operating subsidiaries, is a value-added industrial distributor of more than a million industrial and maintenance, repair and operation ("MRO") products in North America going to market through a system of branded e-commerce websites and relationship marketers. Global Industrial Company operates and is internally managed in one reportable business segment. The Company sells a wide array of industrial and MRO products, markets the Company has served since 1949. Because of the large number of products and product categories the Company offers, providing information on the amount of revenue derived from transactions with external customers for each product or groupings of product is impractical. The Company’s discontinued operations consist of its former North American Technology Group business, which was sold in December 2015 and has been winding down its operations since then. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, discontinued operations incurred a net loss of $0.1 million and net income of $0.3 million, respectively (see Note 4, Discontinued Operations). For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021, discontinued operations incurred a net loss of $0.1 million and net income of $10.5 million, respectively. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2022 and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The December 31, 2021 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Global Industrial Company manages its business and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year that ends at midnight on the Saturday closest to December 31. For clarity of presentation herein, fiscal years and quarters are referred to as if they ended on the traditional calendar month. The actual fiscal third quarters ended on October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively. The third quarters of both 2022 and 2021 included 13 weeks and the first nine months of both 2022 and 2021 included 39 weeks. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Public companies in the United States are subject to the accounting and reporting requirements of various authorities, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These authorities issue numerous pronouncements, most of which are not applicable to the Company’s current or reasonably foreseeable operating structure. There were no accounting pronouncements issued in the quarter or with future effective dates that are either applicable or are expected to have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
