The National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED), St. Louis, released its annual NAED PAR Report Industry Overview that compiles performance data from NAED electrical distributors to provide a benchmark for performance in 2013.
The report shows that electrical distributor profit margins increased to a median of 3.4% in 2013, consistent with 2012’s median. Among the top performing “high profit” distributors, the 2013 profit margin was 6.6%, up slightly from last year’s profit margin of 6.3%.
Featuring statistical breakouts by sales volume, customer emphasis, and warehouse sales, the 2014 industry overview profiles the “typical” and “high profit” NAED distributor as well as provides in-depth reporting on investment, income statement, balance sheet, and financial and productivity ratios.
