Investors have been waiting for margin expansion for some time. Is the industrial supply company about to turn the corner? Given the strength of the recovery in U.S. industrial production, it's reasonable to expect that a highly cyclical industrial supplier like MSC Industrial Direct ( NYSE:MSM ) would start to perform strongly. In a sense, that's exactly what's happening, as sales growth is now in the double digits, but on the other hand, the company's margin performance has been somewhat disappointing. Let's take a closer look at the company's recent first-quarter 2018 earnings report. MSC Industrial Direct earnings: The raw numbers Starting with the headline numbers from the quarter: Net sales of $768.6 million came in slightly below the midpoint of guidance for $762 million to $776 million. Gross margin of 43.6% was in line with the guidance range of 43.4% to 43.8%. Operating margin of 12.9% was at the low end of the guidance range of 12.8% to 13.9%.
