W.W. Grainger removed its "Liquidity and Capital Resources" risk disclosure while keeping 26 existing risks largely intact, indicating stable risk positioning year-over-year. Seven risk disclosures underwent substantive modifications, including updates to Company Performance, Results of Operations, and Segment Analysis sections, suggesting refinements to how Grainger articulates its operational and financial risks. The company added no new material risks between the two filing periods despite modifying disclosures related to equity repurchases, non-GAAP measures, and corporate responsibility exposure.

Grainger believes its current balances of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and availability under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the next twelve months. The Company expects to continue to invest in its business and return excess cash to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases, which it plans to fund through cash flows generated from operations. Grainger also maintains access to capital markets and may issue debt or equity securities from time to time, which may provide an additional source of liquidity. Sources of Liquidity Cash and Cash Equivalents As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, Grainger had cash and cash equivalents of $1,036 million and $660 million, respectively. The increase in cash was primarily due to cash flows from operations and issuance of new long-term debt, partially offset by continued capital expenditure spend and higher volume of share repurchases. The Company had approximately $2.3 billion in available liquidity as of December 31, 2024.
