We present a new format on page 3 of this first issue of 2003 for analyzing
the financial and operating performance of a select group of wholesale distribution companies in three hardgoods sectors:
industrial; electrical; and PHCP (plumbing, heating, cooling & piping). This quarterly analysis goes beyond basic stock market

We present a new format on page 3 of this first issue of 2003 for analyzing
the financial and operating performance of a select group of wholesale distribution companies in three hardgoods sectors:
industrial; electrical; and PHCP (plumbing, heating, cooling & piping). This quarterly analysis goes beyond basic stock market
performance to provide some data on company valuation, profitability and return on assets.
These are some of the core
numbers and ratios used by the financial professionals who watch the industry. Our goal is to provide a quarterly benchmark
of how these publicly traded companies across these three product sectors are hitting the key financials. A quick comparison
can yield a pretty good indication not only of the differences between various distribution models, but also the overall health
of the industry. It's not the total picture, but it is an important perspective that financial professionals use as a framework
for valuation.
We thank Rob Cornog of Mesirow Financial for his assistance and knowledge in helping to assemble the
format, and the ongoing quarterly data collection for this new feature in MDM. It is the first of several new additions planned
for the pages of this letter in the upcoming months to increase the value of this publication to our readers.
