In Q3 2024, Fastenal reported net sales growth of 3.5% and earnings per share of $0.52, matching last year's performance. Despite tough market conditions, including an 11.3% decline in the reseller end market, September saw a sales uptick of 3.2%. The company anticipates further growth with strong Onsite signings and an adjusted net capital spending forecast of $235-255 million for the year. Gross margins fell to 44.9%, partly due to higher import duties and reduced supplier rebates. Looking ahead, Fastenal's strategic focus on inventory and operational efficiency aims for improved margins in 2025.
