Grainger credited its success to a continued focus on customer relationships, innovation, and its growing digital presence.

Grainger reported that its fiscal Q2 sales reached $4.55 billion, a 5.6% increase compared to the same period last year. The company’s Endless Assortment segment, which includes its online platforms Zoro and MonotaRO, led the charge with a 20% increase in sales.

Net income for the quarter rose 2.6% to $482 million. In the first half of 2025, Grainger posted $8.94 billion in sales, up 5.7% from the same period in 2024. Net income for the year-to-date period was $952 million, a 4.3% increase.

Grainger credited its sales success in Q2 to a continued focus on customer relationships, innovation, and its growing online presence.

“Our team remains focused on our customers, fostering deep relationships, providing exceptional service, and driving innovation through differentiated capabilities,” said chairman and CEO D.G. Macpherson.

Grainger online sales in Q2

Grainger’s Endless Assortment segment saw sales increase 19.7%. That’s 16.3% on a daily, constant currency basis. It attributed the growth to robust performance from Zoro and MonotaRO. In contrast, Grainger’s High-Touch Solutions segment, which includes its North American branch network, grew 2.5%, impacted by tariff-related inflation and inventory valuation challenges.

Despite slight declines in profit margins, Grainger maintained strong cash flow and returned $336 million to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks.

Looking ahead, Grainger slightly raised its full-year revenue forecast, now expecting between $17.9 billion and $18.2 billion in 2025 sales, representing a growth of up to 5.9%. However, the company adjusted its earnings forecast due to the ongoing impact of tariffs.

“Even amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, our commitment to our customers remains steadfast, and we’re well-positioned to continue creating value for all stakeholders,” Macpherson added.
