Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
BASIS OF PRESENTATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Global Industrial Company, through its operating subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Global Industrial”), is a value-added industrial distributor of hundreds of thousands of industrial and maintenance, repair and operations ("MRO") products in North America going to market through a system of branded e-commerce websites and relationship marketers. The Company operates and is internally managed in one reportable business segment. The Company sells a wide array of industrial and maintenance, repair and operation 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 products is impractical.

As previously disclosed, on May 19, 2023 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Indoff LLC ("Indoff"), a business-to-business direct marketer of material handling products, commercial interior products and business products with operations in North America, for approximately $72.6 million in cash, $5.2 million of which was placed into an escrow account for two years to secure the sellers’ indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement. Under the terms of the escrow agreement the escrow amount will be reduced to $2.5 million on the one year anniversary of the closing date. This acquisition expands the Company's presence in the MRO market in North America. The Indoff accounts are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The Company's discontinued operations include its former North American Technology Group business, which was sold in December 2015 and has been winding down its operations since then. The sale of this business met the “strategic shift with major impact” criteria as defined under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, therefore, the results of the former North American Technology business are included in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Related Party Transactions
During 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred a de minimis amount of related party transactions other than those disclosed within the leases disclosure. During 2021, the Company recorded approximately $3.1 million in professional fee expense from a law firm which employs an immediate family member of one of the Company's Vice Chairmen.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Industrial Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year — The Company’s fiscal year ends at midnight on the Saturday closest to December 31. For clarity of presentation herein, all fiscal years are referred to as if they ended on December 31. The fiscal year is divided into four fiscal quarters that each end at midnight on a Saturday.  For clarity of presentation herein, all fiscal quarters are referred to as if they ended on the traditional calendar month.  The full year of 2023, 2022 and 2021 included 52 weeks.
 
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current business factors, and various other assumptions that the Company believes are necessary to consider to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts of revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic and political factors, and changes in the Company’s business environment, therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the allowance for credit losses, product returns liabilities, inventory reserves, the provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, certain accrued liabilities, revenue recognition, contingencies, goodwill and intangible assets, litigation and related legal accruals.
Foreign Currency Translation — The Company has operations in foreign countries. The functional currency of each foreign country is the local currency.  The financial statements of the Company’s foreign entities are translated into U.S. dollars, the reporting currency, using year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, year to date average exchange rates for the statement of operations items and historical rates for equity accounts. Translation gains or losses are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Cash and cash equivalents — The Company considers amounts held in money market accounts and other short-term investments, including overnight bank deposits, with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash. Cash overdrafts are classified in accounts payable.

Inventories — Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by using the first-in, first-out method or the average cost method. The Company estimates the net realizable value of its inventory by considering factors such as inventory levels, historical write-off information, market conditions, estimated direct selling costs and physical condition of the inventory.

Leases — The Company has operating and finance leases for office and warehouse facilities, headquarters, call centers, machinery and certain computer and communications equipment which provide the right to use the underlying assets in exchange for agreed upon lease payments, determined by the payment schedule contained in each lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating or finance lease at the inception of the lease. The Company has elected not to apply recognition requirements to leases with terms of one year or less. All other leases are recorded on the balance sheet, with Operating lease Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and Operating lease liabilities representing the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The ROU assets and corresponding liabilities are recorded based upon the net present value of the lease payments, discounted using interest rates determined by utilizing such factors as the Company's current credit facility terms, length of the lease term, the Company's expected debt credit rating and comparable company term loan yields. Certain leases may include options to extend the lease, however, the Company is not including any impact of such options in the valuation of its ROU assets or liabilities as they are not probable of being extended. The Company's lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company has sublease agreements for unused space as well as excess space in facilities we are currently occupying.

The Company’s lease portfolio consists primarily of operating leases which expire at various dates through 2032.

Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line or accelerated method over their estimated useful lives ranging from three years to fifteen years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives or the term of the respective leases. During 2023, the Company disposed of property, plant and equipment and accumulated depreciation of approximately $1.3 million. During 2022, the Company disposed of property, plant and equipment of approximately $3.0 million and accumulated depreciation of approximately $2.9 million.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations in the period realized.

Evaluation of Long-lived Assets — Long-lived assets are assets used in the Company’s operations and include definite-lived intangible assets, operating lease right of use assets, property and equipment used to generate sales and cash flows. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment by reviewing operating results, cash flows, future operating forecasts and anticipated future cash flows. Impairment is assessed by evaluating the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the asset’s remaining life. If the undiscounted cash flows of an asset group is less than the carrying value of the asset group, the asset group is impaired and an impairment loss is recorded..

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets — Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired assets over the fair value of the assets acquired. Indefinite lived intangible assets are assets acquired in an acquisition that are non-amortizing. The Company operates in three reporting units and in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, the Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of current circumstances, such as a reporting units' operating results, cash flows, future operating forecasts and anticipated future cash flows to determine the existence of impairment indicators and to assess if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit or an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it
is determined that the fair value of the reporting unit or an indefinite lived intangible asset may be less than its carrying value, the Company will do a quantitative impairment test. In the quantitative test the carrying value of the reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset is calculated and compared with its fair value. Any excess of the carrying value over fair value is recorded as an impairment loss.

Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and tax credit carry forwards and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and a valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not expected to be realized.

In accordance with the guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes the Company recognizes the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit of an uncertain tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of accruals, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be affected.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable — The Company’s revenue is shown as “Net sales” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and is measured as the determined transaction price, net of any variable consideration consisting primarily of rights to return product. The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling revenues as activities to fulfill its performance obligation. Billings for freight and shipping and handling are recorded in net sales and costs of freight and shipping and handling are recorded in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company will record a contract liability in cases where customers pay in advance of the Company satisfying its performance obligation. The Company had approximately $3.3 million of contract obligations or liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and $0.0 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in the contract liability balance in 2023 is related to the Indoff acquisition.

The Company offers customers rights to return product within a certain time, usually 30 days. The Company estimates its sales returns liability quarterly based upon its historical return rates as a percentage of historical sales for the trailing twelve-month period. The total accrued sales returns liability was approximately $2.1 million at December 31, 2023 and $2.2 million at December 31, 2022, and was recorded as a refund liability in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Allowance for Credit Losses — The Company’s trade accounts receivable is one portfolio comprised of commercial businesses and public sector organizations operating in the U.S. and to a much lesser extent, Canada. The Company develops its allowances for credit losses, which represent an estimate of expected losses over the remaining contractual life of its receivables, considering customer financial condition, historical loss experience with its customers, current market economic conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions when appropriate. When the Company becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligation, a specific reserve is recorded to reduce the receivable to the expected amount to be collected. For the balance of its trade receivables, the Company uses a loss rate method to estimate its credit loss reserve. Historical loss experience rates are calculated using receivable write offs over a trailing twelve-month period and comparing that to the average receivable balances over the same period. That rate is applied to the current accounts receivable portfolio, excluding accounts that have been specifically reserved. Any write offs incurred are recorded against the established reserves.

The Company grants credit to commercial business customers using an electronic application process that evaluates the customer's detailed credit report, reference responses, availability under credit facilities, existing liens, tenure of management and business history, among other factors. Credit terms are typically net 30 days payment required with larger businesses eligible for up to net 90 day terms, if qualified.

Shipping and Handling Costs — The Company recognizes shipping and handling costs in cost of sales.
Advertising Costs — Expenditures for internet, television, local radio and newspaper advertising are expensed in the period the advertising takes place. Catalog preparation, printing and postage expenditures are amortized over the fiscal year during which the benefits are expected.

Net advertising expenses were $79.8 million, $72.0 million and $65.3 million during 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company utilizes advertising programs to drive traffic to its websites, support vendors, including catalogs, internet and magazine advertising, support brand awareness through sports marketing and other upper funnel brand advertising programs, and receives payments and credits from vendors, including consideration pursuant to volume incentive programs and cooperative marketing programs. The Company accounts for consideration from vendors as a reduction of cost of sales unless certain conditions are met showing that the funds are used for specific, incremental, identifiable costs, in which case the consideration is accounted for as a reduction in the related expense category, such as advertising expense.

Net Income Per Common Share — Net income per common share - basic is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods presented using the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The two-class method was used as the Company has outstanding restricted stock with rights to dividend participation for unvested shares.  Undistributed net income is allocated between common shares outstanding and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Undistributed net losses are not allocated to our participating securities as these participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. Net income per common share - diluted was calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and included the equivalent shares for dilutive options outstanding during the respective periods, including unvested options. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and restricted stock issued by the Company is reflected in net income per share - diluted using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, options will only have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.

Employee Benefit Plans — The Company’s U.S. subsidiaries participate in a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering substantially all U.S. employees.  Employees may invest 1% or more of their eligible compensation, limited to maximum amounts as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company provides a matching contribution to the plan, determined as a percentage of the employees’ contributions.  Aggregate expense to the Company for contributions to the plan was approximately $1.9 million in 2023 and $1.5 million in 2022 and $1.4 million in 2021.

Fair Value Measurements — Fair value accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value standards establish the fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in valuation techniques. There are three levels to the fair value hierarchy (Level 1 is the highest priority and Level 3 is the lowest priority):
Level 1 -Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 -Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 -Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity

Financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash, trade accounts receivable, debt and accounts payable. The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments based on interest rates available to the Company. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of outstanding debt is considered to be representative of its respective fair values due to its variable interest rate. Cash is classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.  

The fair value of goodwill, non-amortizing intangibles and long-lived assets is measured in connection with the Company’s annual impairment testing as discussed above.

The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was 7.6% in 2023, 4.4% in 2022 and 4.3% in 2021.

Significant Concentrations — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.  The Company’s excess cash balances are invested with money center banks. 
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers and their geographic dispersion comprising the Company’s customer base.  The Company also performs on-going credit evaluations and maintains allowances for potential losses as warranted.

The Company purchases substantially all of its products and components directly from both large and small manufacturers as well as large wholesale distributors.  No supplier accounted for 10% or more of our product purchases in 2023, 2022 and 2021. Most private brand products are manufactured by third parties to our specifications.   

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.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public business entities to disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
ACQUISITION ACQUISITION
On May 19, 2023 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Indoff, a business-to-business direct marketer of material handling products, commercial interiors and business products with operations in North America, for approximately $72.6 million in cash, $5.2 million of which was placed into an escrow account for two years to secure the sellers’ indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement. Under the terms of the escrow agreement the escrow amount will be reduced to $2.5 million on the one year anniversary of the closing date. This acquisition expands the Company's presence in the MRO market in North America. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value assigned to the identified intangible assets acquired were based on assumptions and estimates made by management. The total associated transaction costs of the acquisition were approximately $1.0 million and were recorded in selling, distribution and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company acquired in the transaction customer lists and trademark assets and will be amortizing them over a ten-year period which will result in approximately $3.0 million in annual amortization expense. The acquisition was an asset acquisition for tax purposes and as such, the customer lists, trademarks and goodwill resulting from this acquisition will be tax deductible over a fifteen-year period. The Indoff accounts are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The Company prepared a preliminary purchase price fair value allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. The fair value allocation has not yet been finalized, principally related to the measurement of the acquired
net working capital. Amounts below could change, potentially materially, as we finalize the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table details the preliminary fair values as of the acquisition date (in millions):

The amount allocated to goodwill reflects the benefits the Company expects to realize from the growth of the acquisition's operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Indoff generated revenue and net income of approximately $116.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

The Company’s unaudited pro forma revenue and net income for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 below have been prepared as if the Indoff acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022. The pro forma information reflects certain adjustments related to the acquisition.

CREDIT FACILITIES AND SHORT-TERM DEBT CREDIT FACILITIES AND SHORT-TERM DEBT
The Company maintains a $125.0 million secured revolving credit facility with one financial institution. This facility has a five-year term, maturing on October 19, 2026 and provides for borrowings in the 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"), the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“NYFRB”) or the Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on borrowing base availability.  As of December 31, 2023, eligible collateral under the credit agreement was $105.4 million, total availability was $102.8 million, total outstanding letters of credit was $1.6 million, total excess availability was $101.2 million and there were no outstanding borrowings. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit agreement in place as of December 31, 2023.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Net income per common share - basic was calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods presented using the two-class method of computing earnings per share.  The two-
class method was used as the Company has outstanding restricted stock with rights to dividend participation for unvested shares. Undistributed net income is allocated between common shares outstanding and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Undistributed net losses are not allocated to our participating securities as these participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. Net income per common share - diluted was calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and included the equivalent shares for dilutive options outstanding during the respective periods, including unvested options.  The dilutive effect of outstanding options and restricted stock issued by the Company is reflected in net income per share - diluted using the treasury stock method.  Under the treasury stock method, options will only have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income per share under the two-class method for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in millions, except for per share amounts):

STOCK REPURCHASES STOCK REPURCHASES
In 2018, the Company's Board of Director's approved a share repurchase program with a repurchase authorization of up to two million shares of the Company's common stock. During 2023, 2022 and 2021, no shares were repurchased. In 2020, the Company repurchased 392,337 common shares for approximately $7.2 million. The maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the Plan was approximately 1,375,000 at December 31, 2023.
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company currently has two equity compensation plans which reserve shares of common stock for issuance to key employees, directors, consultants and advisors to the Company. The following is a description of these plans:

The 2010 Long-term Stock Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”) - This plan was adopted in April 2010 and allows the Company to issue incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock based awards authorized by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options and awards issued under this plan expire ten years after the options and awards are granted. The maximum number of shares granted per type of award to any individual may not exceed 1,500,000 in any calendar year. Restricted stock grants and common stock awards reduce stock options otherwise available for future grant. Awards for a maximum of 7,500,000 shares may be granted under this plan. The Company is no longer granting options or awards under this plan. A total of 313,863 options and 13,118 restricted stock units were outstanding under this plan as of December 31, 2023.

The 2020 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (“2020 Omnibus Plan”) - This plan was adopted in June 2020 and allows the Company to issue incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock based awards authorized by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options and awards issued under this plan expire ten years after the options and awards are granted. The maximum number of shares granted per type of award to any individual may not exceed 1,500,000 in any calendar year (or $10.0 million in the case of cash performance awards). Restricted stock grants and common stock awards reduce stock options otherwise available for future grant. Awards for a maximum of 7,500,000 shares may be granted under this plan. A total of 227,794 options and 219,735 restricted stock units were outstanding under this plan as of December 31, 2023.

The fair value of employee share options is recognized in expense over the vesting period of the options, using the graded attribution method. The fair value of employee share options is determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company has calculated its dividend yield by dividing the annualized regular quarterly dividend by the current stock price at grant date. The Company has used historical volatility in its estimate of expected volatility. The
expected life represents the period of time (in years) for which the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for forfeitures and is recognized over the expected term of the award.

The fair value of the restricted stock ("RSU") and performance restricted stock ("PRSU") is the closing stock price on the NYSE of the Company's common stock on the date of grant or the closing stock price of the Company's common stock on the last business day prior to the grant date. Upon delivery, a portion of the RSU or PRSU award may be withheld to satisfy the statutory withholding taxes. The remaining RSUs or PRSUs will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock after the vesting period and on the prescribed delivery date. These RSUs and PRSUs have none of the rights of outstanding shares of common stock, other than rights to cash dividends, until common stock is distributed. The PRSUs awarded in 2023 are entitled to cash dividends on the vested, not unvested, units.

Shares issued under our share-based compensation plans are usually issued from shares of our common stock held in the treasury.

Compensation cost related to non-qualified stock options recognized in continuing operations (selling, distribution and administrative expenses) for 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $0.9 million, $1.3 million, and $1.1 million respectively. The related future income tax benefits recognized for 2023 and 2022 was $0.2 million, respectively, and $0.3 million in 2021.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY STOCK REPURCHASES
In 2018, the Company's Board of Director's approved a share repurchase program with a repurchase authorization of up to two million shares of the Company's common stock. During 2023, 2022 and 2021, no shares were repurchased. In 2020, the Company repurchased 392,337 common shares for approximately $7.2 million. The maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the Plan was approximately 1,375,000 at December 31, 2023.
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company currently has two equity compensation plans which reserve shares of common stock for issuance to key employees, directors, consultants and advisors to the Company. The following is a description of these plans:

The 2010 Long-term Stock Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”) - This plan was adopted in April 2010 and allows the Company to issue incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock based awards authorized by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options and awards issued under this plan expire ten years after the options and awards are granted. The maximum number of shares granted per type of award to any individual may not exceed 1,500,000 in any calendar year. Restricted stock grants and common stock awards reduce stock options otherwise available for future grant. Awards for a maximum of 7,500,000 shares may be granted under this plan. The Company is no longer granting options or awards under this plan. A total of 313,863 options and 13,118 restricted stock units were outstanding under this plan as of December 31, 2023.

The 2020 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (“2020 Omnibus Plan”) - This plan was adopted in June 2020 and allows the Company to issue incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock based awards authorized by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options and awards issued under this plan expire ten years after the options and awards are granted. The maximum number of shares granted per type of award to any individual may not exceed 1,500,000 in any calendar year (or $10.0 million in the case of cash performance awards). Restricted stock grants and common stock awards reduce stock options otherwise available for future grant. Awards for a maximum of 7,500,000 shares may be granted under this plan. A total of 227,794 options and 219,735 restricted stock units were outstanding under this plan as of December 31, 2023.

The fair value of employee share options is recognized in expense over the vesting period of the options, using the graded attribution method. The fair value of employee share options is determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company has calculated its dividend yield by dividing the annualized regular quarterly dividend by the current stock price at grant date. The Company has used historical volatility in its estimate of expected volatility. The
expected life represents the period of time (in years) for which the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for forfeitures and is recognized over the expected term of the award.

The fair value of the restricted stock ("RSU") and performance restricted stock ("PRSU") is the closing stock price on the NYSE of the Company's common stock on the date of grant or the closing stock price of the Company's common stock on the last business day prior to the grant date. Upon delivery, a portion of the RSU or PRSU award may be withheld to satisfy the statutory withholding taxes. The remaining RSUs or PRSUs will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock after the vesting period and on the prescribed delivery date. These RSUs and PRSUs have none of the rights of outstanding shares of common stock, other than rights to cash dividends, until common stock is distributed. The PRSUs awarded in 2023 are entitled to cash dividends on the vested, not unvested, units.

Shares issued under our share-based compensation plans are usually issued from shares of our common stock held in the treasury.

Compensation cost related to non-qualified stock options recognized in continuing operations (selling, distribution and administrative expenses) for 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $0.9 million, $1.3 million, and $1.1 million respectively. The related future income tax benefits recognized for 2023 and 2022 was $0.2 million, respectively, and $0.3 million in 2021.

During 2023 the Company utilized approximately $4.1 million in foreign and state NOL carryforwards to reduce the current year tax expense. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has foreign NOLs of $5.2 million which expire through 2037 and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $0.4 million expiring in years through 2028. The Company has recorded valuation allowances of approximately $5.2 million, consisting of valuations against foreign NOLs of $4.8 million and $0.4 million against foreign tax carryforwards. Valuation allowances have been recorded against these assets as the Company believes it is more likely than not that these NOLs, temporary differences and foreign tax credits will not be utilized in the near future.

The Company has not provided for federal income taxes applicable to the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, primarily in India and Canada, of approximately $2.6 million as of December 31, 2023, since these earnings are considered permanently reinvested in the subsidiaries. If the Company ceases to be permanently reinvested in its foreign subsidiaries, the Company may be subject to foreign withholding and other taxes on undistributed earnings and may need to record a deferred tax liability for any outside basis difference in its investments in its foreign subsidiaries.
Under the TCJA each U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation ("CFC") must include in its gross taxable income in any tax year the aggregate net GILTI, or net income, of its CFCs. In 2023 the Company has included in taxable income the net income of its subsidiaries in Canada and India. The Company has elected to treat GILTI expense as a period cost when incurred.

The Company is routinely audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities with respect to its income taxes. The Company regularly reviews and evaluates the likelihood of audit assessments. The Company’s federal income tax returns have been audited through 2016. The Company has not signed any consent to extend the statute of limitations for any subsequent years. The Company’s significant state tax returns have been audited through 2016. The Company considers its significant tax jurisdictions in foreign locations to be Canada and India.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties, if any, are recorded in income tax expense. There were no accrued interest or penalty charges related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded in income tax expense in 2023, 2022 or 2021.

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS
The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings which may include commercial, employment, tax, customs and trade, customer, vendor, personal injury, creditors rights and health and safety law matters, which are handled and defended in the ordinary course of business.  In addition, the Company is from time to time subjected to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for damages and/or indemnification concerning sales channel practices and intellectual property matters, including patent infringement suits involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum of products the Company sells or that are incorporated in the Company’s e-commerce sales channels, as well as trademark/copyright infringement claims.  The Company is also audited by (or has initiated voluntary disclosure agreements with) various U.S. Federal and state authorities, as well as Canadian authorities, concerning potential income tax and/or sales tax. These matters are in various stages of investigation, negotiation and/or litigation. The Company intends to vigorously defend these matters and believes it has strong defenses.

Although the Company does not expect, based on currently available information, that the outcome in any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations, the ultimate outcome is inherently unpredictable.  Therefore, judgments could be rendered or settlements entered, that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period.  The Company regularly assesses all of its litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability, and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable and estimable.  In this regard, the Company establishes accrual estimates for its various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability incurred at the date of the financial statements and the loss can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2023 the Company has established accruals for certain of its various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings based upon estimates of the most likely outcome in a range of loss or the minimum amounts in a range of loss if no amount within a range is a more likely estimate.  The Company does not believe that at December 31, 2023 any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued would be material to the financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
 12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Industrial Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Year
Fiscal Year — The Company’s fiscal year ends at midnight on the Saturday closest to December 31. For clarity of presentation herein, all fiscal years are referred to as if they ended on December 31. The fiscal year is divided into four fiscal quarters that each end at midnight on a Saturday.  For clarity of presentation herein, all fiscal quarters are referred to as if they ended on the traditional calendar month.  The full year of 2023, 2022 and 2021 included 52 weeks.
Use of Estimates In Financial Statements
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current business factors, and various other assumptions that the Company believes are necessary to consider to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts of revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic and political factors, and changes in the Company’s business environment, therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the allowance for credit losses, product returns liabilities, inventory reserves, the provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, certain accrued liabilities, revenue recognition, contingencies, goodwill and intangible assets, litigation and related legal accruals.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign Currency Translation — The Company has operations in foreign countries. The functional currency of each foreign country is the local currency.  The financial statements of the Company’s foreign entities are translated into U.S. dollars, the reporting currency, using year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, year to date average exchange rates for the statement of operations items and historical rates for equity accounts. Translation gains or losses are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents — The Company considers amounts held in money market accounts and other short-term investments, including overnight bank deposits, with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash. Cash overdrafts are classified in accounts payable.
Inventories Inventories — Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by using the first-in, first-out method or the average cost method. The Company estimates the net realizable value of its inventory by considering factors such as inventory levels, historical write-off information, market conditions, estimated direct selling costs and physical condition of the inventory.
Leases
Leases — The Company has operating and finance leases for office and warehouse facilities, headquarters, call centers, machinery and certain computer and communications equipment which provide the right to use the underlying assets in exchange for agreed upon lease payments, determined by the payment schedule contained in each lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating or finance lease at the inception of the lease. The Company has elected not to apply recognition requirements to leases with terms of one year or less. All other leases are recorded on the balance sheet, with Operating lease Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and Operating lease liabilities representing the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The ROU assets and corresponding liabilities are recorded based upon the net present value of the lease payments, discounted using interest rates determined by utilizing such factors as the Company's current credit facility terms, length of the lease term, the Company's expected debt credit rating and comparable company term loan yields. Certain leases may include options to extend the lease, however, the Company is not including any impact of such options in the valuation of its ROU assets or liabilities as they are not probable of being extended. The Company's lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company has sublease agreements for unused space as well as excess space in facilities we are currently occupying.
The Company’s lease portfolio consists primarily of operating leases which expire at various dates through 2032.
Property, Plant and Equipment Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line or accelerated method over their estimated useful lives ranging from three years to fifteen years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives or the term of the respective leases.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations in the period realized.
Evaluation of Long-lived Assets
Evaluation of Long-lived Assets — Long-lived assets are assets used in the Company’s operations and include definite-lived intangible assets, operating lease right of use assets, property and equipment used to generate sales and cash flows. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment by reviewing operating results, cash flows, future operating forecasts and anticipated future cash flows. Impairment is assessed by evaluating the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the asset’s remaining life. If the undiscounted cash flows of an asset group is less than the carrying value of the asset group, the asset group is impaired and an impairment loss is recorded..
Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets — Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired assets over the fair value of the assets acquired. Indefinite lived intangible assets are assets acquired in an acquisition that are non-amortizing. The Company operates in three reporting units and in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, the Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of current circumstances, such as a reporting units' operating results, cash flows, future operating forecasts and anticipated future cash flows to determine the existence of impairment indicators and to assess if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit or an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it
is determined that the fair value of the reporting unit or an indefinite lived intangible asset may be less than its carrying value, the Company will do a quantitative impairment test. In the quantitative test the carrying value of the reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset is calculated and compared with its fair value. Any excess of the carrying value over fair value is recorded as an impairment loss.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and tax credit carry forwards and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and a valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not expected to be realized.

In accordance with the guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes the Company recognizes the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit of an uncertain tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of accruals, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be affected.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable — The Company’s revenue is shown as “Net sales” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and is measured as the determined transaction price, net of any variable consideration consisting primarily of rights to return product. The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling revenues as activities to fulfill its performance obligation. Billings for freight and shipping and handling are recorded in net sales and costs of freight and shipping and handling are recorded in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company will record a contract liability in cases where customers pay in advance of the Company satisfying its performance obligation. The Company had approximately $3.3 million of contract obligations or liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and $0.0 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in the contract liability balance in 2023 is related to the Indoff acquisition.

The Company offers customers rights to return product within a certain time, usually 30 days. The Company estimates its sales returns liability quarterly based upon its historical return rates as a percentage of historical sales for the trailing twelve-month period. The total accrued sales returns liability was approximately $2.1 million at December 31, 2023 and $2.2 million at December 31, 2022, and was recorded as a refund liability in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Allowance for Credit Losses — The Company’s trade accounts receivable is one portfolio comprised of commercial businesses and public sector organizations operating in the U.S. and to a much lesser extent, Canada. The Company develops its allowances for credit losses, which represent an estimate of expected losses over the remaining contractual life of its receivables, considering customer financial condition, historical loss experience with its customers, current market economic conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions when appropriate. When the Company becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligation, a specific reserve is recorded to reduce the receivable to the expected amount to be collected. For the balance of its trade receivables, the Company uses a loss rate method to estimate its credit loss reserve. Historical loss experience rates are calculated using receivable write offs over a trailing twelve-month period and comparing that to the average receivable balances over the same period. That rate is applied to the current accounts receivable portfolio, excluding accounts that have been specifically reserved. Any write offs incurred are recorded against the established reserves.

The Company grants credit to commercial business customers using an electronic application process that evaluates the customer's detailed credit report, reference responses, availability under credit facilities, existing liens, tenure of management and business history, among other factors. Credit terms are typically net 30 days payment required with larger businesses eligible for up to net 90 day terms, if qualified.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and Handling Costs — The Company recognizes shipping and handling costs in cost of sales.
Advertising Costs
Advertising Costs — Expenditures for internet, television, local radio and newspaper advertising are expensed in the period the advertising takes place. Catalog preparation, printing and postage expenditures are amortized over the fiscal year during which the benefits are expected.
Net Income Per Common Share
Net Income Per Common Share — Net income per common share - basic is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods presented using the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The two-class method was used as the Company has outstanding restricted stock with rights to dividend participation for unvested shares.  Undistributed net income is allocated between common shares outstanding and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Undistributed net losses are not allocated to our participating securities as these participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. Net income per common share - diluted was calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and included the equivalent shares for dilutive options outstanding during the respective periods, including unvested options. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and restricted stock issued by the Company is reflected in net income per share - diluted using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, options will only have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.
Employee Benefit Plans Employee Benefit Plans — The Company’s U.S. subsidiaries participate in a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering substantially all U.S. employees.  Employees may invest 1% or more of their eligible compensation, limited to maximum amounts as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company provides a matching contribution to the plan, determined as a percentage of the employees’ contributions.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements — Fair value accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value standards establish the fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in valuation techniques. There are three levels to the fair value hierarchy (Level 1 is the highest priority and Level 3 is the lowest priority):
Level 1 -Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 -Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 -Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity

Financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash, trade accounts receivable, debt and accounts payable. The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments based on interest rates available to the Company. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of outstanding debt is considered to be representative of its respective fair values due to its variable interest rate. Cash is classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.  

The fair value of goodwill, non-amortizing intangibles and long-lived assets is measured in connection with the Company’s annual impairment testing as discussed above.
Significant Concentrations
Significant Concentrations — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.  The Company’s excess cash balances are invested with money center banks. 
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers and their geographic dispersion comprising the Company’s customer base.  The Company also performs on-going credit evaluations and maintains allowances for potential losses as warranted.
The Company purchases substantially all of its products and components directly from both large and small manufacturers as well as large wholesale distributors.  No supplier accounted for 10% or more of our product purchases in 2023, 2022 and 2021. Most private brand products are manufactured by third parties to our specifications.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public business entities to disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
