ST. LOUIS, Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Graybar, a leading distributor of electrical, communications and data networking products and provider of related supply chain management and logistics services, today reported its results for the third quarter of 2024.

Graybar’s net sales for the third quarter totaled $3.0 billion, a 4.4 percent increase compared to the same period in 2023. Net income attributable to Graybar for the quarter was $110.2 million, down 6.4 percent from the same period last year.

For the first nine months of the year, the company reported net sales of $8.7 billion, a 4.8 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Net income attributable to Graybar through three quarters of 2024 decreased 11.2 percent to $325.8 million. The decrease in net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, was due in part to the company’s investments in Graybar Connect, its multi-year, strategic business transformation project.

Mazzarella. “Although the markets we serve continue to face uncertainty, we see incredible opportunities for the future.
