Exhibition Name: Fastenal January Organic Sales Improve from December
| Exhibition introduction
January was a modest month-to-month gain, but was still the company's second-smallest yearly growth since December 2016.
 

Fastenal reported its January 2019 sales results on Thursday, showing a modest increase in year-over-year sales.

The company reported January sales of $462.9 million, up 3.6 percent year-over-year (YoY), with organic sales up by that same amount.

That daily sales growth was an improvement from December’s 1.0 percent growth, but follows it as the second-smallest YoY monthly growth the company has had since December 2016’s 3.2 percent. That was the company’s most recent low water mark before sales consistently hovered between the high single digits and mid double-digits throughout most of 2017 and 2018 before the current industrial recession took hold around Q2 of 2019.

Below, see Fastenal’s year-over-year monthly daily sales gains since the start of 2019:

--January 2019 - 13.3%
--February 2019 - 10.5%
--March 2019 - 12.7%
--April 2019 - 7.4%
--May 2019- 9.5%
--June 2019 - 7.0%
--July 2019 - 6.1%
--August 2019 - 6.3%
--September 2019 - 5.8%
--October 2019 - 4.3%
--November 2019 - 5.7%
--December 2019 - 1.0%
--January 2020 - 3.6%

In January 2020, Fastenal’s US daily sales grew 3.1 percent YoY in the US, 8.4 percent in Canada/Mexico and dipped 0.2 percent elsewhere. Those figures compare with December’s flat (0.0 percent) growth in the US, 5.8 percent growth in Canada/Mexico and 12.8 percent growth elsewhere.
