See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional financial information about our business' geographic operations.
18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Operating Conditions The North American industrial products market is highly fragmented and we compete against multiple distribution channels. Industrial products distribution is working capital intensive, requiring us to incur significant costs associated with the warehousing of many products, including the costs of maintaining inventory, leasing warehouse space, inventory management systems and employing personnel to perform the associated tasks. We supplement our on-hand product availability by maintaining relationships with major distributors and manufacturers, utilizing a combination of stock and drop-shipment fulfillment. The primary component of our operating expenses historically has been employee-related costs, which includes items such as wages, commissions, bonuses, employee benefits and equity-based compensation, as well as marketing expenses, primarily comprised of digital marketing spend, and occupancy related charges associated with our leased distribution and call center facilities. We continually assess our operations to ensure that they are efficient, aligned with market conditions and responsive to customer needs. The discussion of our results of operations and financial condition that follows will provide information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the factors that we believe may affect our future results and financial condition as well as information about how certain accounting policies and estimates affect the consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein and in conjunction with the audited financial statements as ofDecember 31, 2022 and the other information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 31, 2022 .
Business Outlook
The Company's net sales declined in the first quarter by 5.1% to$273.8 million . First quarter performance reflects a continuation of the recent soft demand environment, with average daily sales declining 3.7%. Price was neutral in the period and volume remained muted, reflecting cautionary purchase behavior, specifically within our core small and medium business customer base. These trends have continued into the second quarter. We recorded strong growth from our largest accounts in the quarter and customer retention remained healthy overall, which we believe reflects the value of our one-to-one managed sales organization. Sales inthe United States were down 3.7% and sales inCanada , in local currency, were off by 17.3%. Excluding the benefit of a large one time deal last year,Canada sales declined 6.4% in local currency. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2023 was 35.9%, a slight decline from sequential quarter results, but as expected, off from record results in the first quarter of 2022. Product margin was solid and expanded each month as we moved through the quarter, reflecting a continuation of the benefit we are receiving from lower cost inventory flowing into our cost of sales. The Company expects to see continued margin variability due to the current economic environment, inflationary pressures and historical seasonality. Selling, distribution and administrative ("SD&A") primarily reflects the fixed cost nature of the business, including compensation expense which included the impact of our previously announced reduction in force, planned marketing investment and the expansion of our distribution network. We continue to maintain strong cost controls, and will evaluate additional steps to optimize our structure. 19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 15 of the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and as a result, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These judgments are based on historical experience, observation of trends in the industry, information provided by customers, forecasts of future economic conditions and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Management has identified revenue recognition and inventory valuation as policies that entail significant judgments or estimates. Management believes that full consideration has been given to all relevant circumstances that we may be subject to, and the consolidated financial statements of the Company accurately reflect management's best estimate of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the years presented.
There were no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies
during the first quarter ended
Public companies inthe United States are subject to the accounting and reporting requirements of various authorities, including theFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and theSecurities 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.

Table of Contents Management's discussion and analysis that follows includes current operations.
The Company's net sales decreased 5.1% during the quarter endedMarch 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The Company's sales reflect a continuation of a soft demand environment experienced in the second half of 2022. Price was neutral in the period and volume remained muted, reflecting cautionary purchasing behavior, specifically within our core small and medium business customer base. Demand softened as we moved through the quarter and we have seen a continuation of this trend into the second quarter of 2023.U.S. sales decreased 3.7% for the quarter compared to the same periods in 2022.Canada sales, in local currency, were down 17.3%. Excluding the benefit of a large one time deal in 2022,Canada sales were down 6.4%, in local currency, compared to the first quarter of 2022. Consolidated average daily sales decreased 3.7% during the quarter.
There were 64 selling days in the
GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin is dependent on variables such as product mix including sourcing and category, competition, pricing strategy, vendor volume rebates, freight pricing decisions including the use of free or other promotional freight plans, freight cost inflation including both domestic outbound freight as well as international inbound ocean freight, inventory valuation and obsolescence and other variables, any or all of which may result in fluctuations in gross margin. The Company expects to see continued margin variability due to the current economic environment, inflationary pressures and historical seasonality. Gross margin declined by 150 basis points in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022. The first quarter of 2022 benefited from strong price realization and lower inventory cost flow through, both of which have now waned. Product margin trends improved as we moved through the quarter, as we benefited from lower total landing cost of imported inventory products, primarily the result of lower ocean freight costs.
SELLING, DISTRIBUTION AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES ("SD&A")
For the three month period endedMarch 31, 2023 , SD&A costs as a percentage of sales increased 230 basis points compared to the same period in 2022. This increase reflects the impact of the previously announced reduction in force of approximately$1.1 million , e-commerce and other technological enhancements and increased marketing efforts. In the first quarter of 2023, the cost increases include increased salary and related costs of approximately$0.7 million , including the previously announced reduction in force, offset by savings in temporary help spend of approximately$0.7 million . Other cost increases include approximately$1.2 million related to our increased marketing efforts and approximately$1.1 million of increased costs related to our Canadian distribution center offset by cost savings in contract services, consulting, professional fees of approximately$0.5 million .
OPERATING MARGIN
Operating margin for the three month periods endedMarch 31, 2023 declined 370 basis points compared to the same period in 2022. As discussed above, the decline was driven by the sales decrease in the quarter, lower gross margin as compared to the record gross margin in the first quarter of 2022, the fixed cost nature of our SD&A and approximately$1.1 million in costs related to our previously announced reduction in force.
INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE, NET
Interest and other expense, net from continuing operations was$0.2 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to$0.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 primarily related to higher borrowings in the first quarter of 2022.

$ (7.9) $ 14.4 Effects of exchange rates on cash$ 0.0 $ 0.0 Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$ 19.7 $ (0.8) Our primary liquidity needs are to support working capital requirements in our business, including inflationary cost pressure within inventory, funding recently declared and any future dividends, funding capital expenditures and inventory purchases related to our new distribution center inCanada , continuing investment in upgrading and expanding our technological capabilities specifically related to additional functionality and enhanced navigation of our new web platform, continuing investment in upgrading our distribution facilities and funding acquisitions. We rely principally upon operating cash flow to meet these needs. We currently believe that current cash on hand, cash flow from operations and our availability under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. We believe our current capital structure and cash resources are adequate for our internal growth initiatives. To the extent our growth initiatives expand, including major acquisitions, we would seek to raise additional capital. We believe that, if needed, we can access public or private funding alternatives to raise additional capital. Our working capital increased$7.0 million primarily related to increased cash and cash equivalent and accounts receivable balances, decreased accrued expenses and other current liabilities balances offset by decreased inventory, prepaid expenses and other current asset balances and increased accounts payable balances. Accounts receivable days outstanding were 38.3 in 2023 compared to 37.8 in 2022, inventory turns were 4.0 in 2023 compared to 4.3 in 2022 and accounts payable days outstanding were 54.6 in 2023 compared to 65.9 in 2022. We expect that future accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable balances will fluctuate with net sales and the product mix of our net sales. 24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was$28.5 million compared to$14.0 million used in 2022, attributable to changes in our working capital accounts which provided$12.9 million in cash compared to$38.2 million used in 2022, primarily the result of the changes in inventory, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and other liabilities and accounts receivable. Cash generated from net income adjusted by other non-cash items, provided$15.6 million in 2023 compared to$24.2 million provided by these items in 2022 primarily due to higher net income generated in the first three months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to 2023. Net cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations was$0.2 million and$0.1 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 andMarch 31, 2022 , respectively.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled$0.7 million and was used for warehouse machinery and equipment, primarily related to our new Canadian distribution center, leasehold improvements, computer equipment and molds. Net cash used in investing activities in 2022 totaled$1.1 million primarily for warehouse machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements, computer equipment and software. Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities totaled$7.9 million in 2023 primarily related to the regular quarterly dividend of$0.20 per common share which totaled approximately$7.7 million and repayments of short-term debt of approximately$0.6 million . Proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the employee stock purchase plan totaled$0.7 million and proceeds from stock option exercises totaled$0.1 million , offset by payments for payroll taxes through shares withheld, which totaled$0.4 million . Net cash provided by financing activities in 2022 totaled$14.4 million primarily related to the net proceeds from short-term borrowings of$20.5 million . Proceeds from the issuance of common stock from our employee stock purchase plan totaled$0.6 million and proceeds from the issuance of common stock from stock option exercises, net of payments for payroll taxes through shares withheld totaled$0.3 million . Dividends paid primarily related to the regular quarterly dividend of$0.18 per common share declared inFebruary 2022 which totaled approximately$7.0 million . The Company maintains a$125.0 million secured revolving credit facility with one financial institution, which has a five year term, maturing onOctober 19, 2026 and provides for borrowings inthe United States . The credit agreement contains certain operating, financial and other covenants, including limits on annual levels of capital expenditures, availability tests related to payments of dividends and stock repurchases and fixed charge coverage tests related to acquisitions. The revolving credit agreement requires that a minimum level of availability be maintained. If such availability is not maintained, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined). The borrowings under the agreement are subject to borrowing base limitations of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and the inventory advance rate computed as the lesser of 65% or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value ("NOLV"). Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the Borrower's assets, as defined, including all accounts, accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets, subject to limited exceptions, including the exclusion of certain foreign assets from the collateral. The interest rate under the amended and restated facility is computed at applicable market rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), theFederal Reserve Bank of New York ("NYFRB") or the Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on borrowing base availability. As ofMarch 31, 2023 , eligible collateral under the credit agreement was$120.6 million , total availability was$118.0 million , total outstanding letters of credit was$1.4 million , total excess availability was$116.6 million and no outstanding borrowings. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit agreement as ofMarch 31, 2023 . Levels of earnings and cash flows are dependent on factors such as consolidated gross margin and selling, distribution and administrative costs, product mix and relative levels of domestic and foreign sales. Unusual gains or expense items, such as special (gains) charges and settlements, may impact earnings and are separately disclosed. We expect that past performance may not be indicative of future performance due to the competitive nature of our business where the need to adjust prices to gain or hold market share is prevalent. Macroeconomic conditions, such as business and consumer sentiment, may affect our revenues, cash flows or financial condition. However, we do not believe that there is a direct correlation between any specific macroeconomic indicator and our revenues, cash flows or financial condition.
The expenses and capital expenditures described above will require significant levels of liquidity, which we believe can be adequately funded from our currently available cash resources, cash flow from operations and borrowing under our current
25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents credit facility. In 2023 we anticipate capital expenditures in the range of$6.0 to$8.0 million , though at this time we are not contractually committed to incur these expenditures. In the past we have engaged in opportunistic acquisitions, choosing to pay the purchase price in cash, and may do so in the future as favorable situations arise. However, a deep and prolonged period of reduced business spending could adversely impact our cash resources and force us to either forego future acquisition opportunities or to pay the purchase price using stock, debt or a combination of consideration which could have an adverse effect on our earnings. We believe that our cash balances and future cash flows from operations and availability under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents in money market funds or their equivalents that have maturities of less than three months and in non-interest bearing accounts that partially offset banking fees. As ofMarch 31, 2023 , we had no investments with maturities of greater than three months. Accordingly, we do not believe that our cash balances have significant exposure to interest rate risk. AtMarch 31, 2023 cash balances held in foreign subsidiaries totaled approximately$4.4 million . These balances are held in local country banks and are held primarily to support local working capital needs. The Company had over$160 million of liquidity (cash and undrawn line of credit) in theU.S. as ofMarch 31, 2023 . Material Cash Requirements We are obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for the rental of our facilities and certain of our equipment which expires at various dates through 2032. As ofMarch 31, 2023 we were obligated for approximately$98.4 million under these non-cancelable leases. In 2023 we anticipate remaining cash expenditures of approximately$13.1 million for these operating leases. We have sublease agreements for unused space, as well as excess space in facilities we are currently occupying inthe United States andCanada . In the event the sub lessee is unable to fulfill its obligations, we would be responsible for remaining rents due under the leases.
Our purchase and other obligations consist primarily of purchase commitments for
certain employment, consulting and service agreements. In addition to the
previously mentioned commitments, at
We are party to certain litigation, the outcome of which we believe, based on discussions with legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
