GWW » Topics » Weakness in the United States and International economies could negatively impact Grainger’s sales growth.

These excerpts taken from the GWW 10-K filed Feb 27, 2009.
Weakness in the United States and International economies could negatively impact Grainger’s sales growth. Economic and industry trends affect Grainger’s business environments. Economic downturns can cause customers to idle or close facilities, delay purchases and otherwise reduce their ability to purchase Grainger’s products and services as well as their ability to make full and timely payments. Thus, a significant or prolonged slowdown in economic activity could negatively impact Grainger’s sales growth and results of operations. The recent global economic crisis has had a negative effect on Grainger’s sales and could continue to do so into the future, however, the duration of this or any other economic downturn cannot be predicted.
