Operating Cash Flow Trends

W.W. GRAINGER, INC. · 2026-08-04 · Importance 54 · Surprise 40 · From source text

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $1,183 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $1,023 million in the prior-year period. The $160 million increase was primarily attributable to higher net earnings. Net cash used in investing activities was $294 million, compared with $283 million in 2025, and was driven by continued supply-chain investment. Net cash used in financing activities was $874 million, compared with $1,201 million in 2025, partly because the prior year included repayment of $500 million of 1.85% Senior Notes.
