Core & Main has reported record results for the fiscal 2024 third quarter, with net sales rising to $2,038 million, an 11.5% increase from the same period last year. This growth is partly attributed to strategic acquisitions and higher end-market volumes.

However, net income saw a decline of 11.4% to $140 million, primarily due to increased interest and income tax expenses.

Looking ahead, Core & Main remains optimistic about its growth prospects, focusing on capitalizing on strategic opportunities.
