Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Global Industrial Company, (the "Company" or "Global Industrial"), with its subsidiaries are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Global Industrial Company, through its operating subsidiaries, is a value-added distributor and source for industrial equipment and supplies in North America going to market through a system of branded e-commerce websites and relationship marketers. The Company operates and is internally managed in one reportable business segment. The Company sells a wide array of industrial and MRO products, markets the Company has served since 1949. Because of the large number of products and product categories the Company offers, providing information on the amount of revenue derived from transactions with external customers for each product or groupings of product is impractical. The Company's discontinued operations include its former North American Technology Group which was sold in December 2015. In March 2026 the Company received a refund of prior years alternative minimum taxes paid of approximately $1.8 million which was partially offset by an increased tax obligation recorded in the first quarter of 2026. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, statements of comprehensive income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and changes in shareholders’ equity for the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The December 31, 2025 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and for the year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The results for the three month period ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Global Industrial Company manages its business and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year that ends at midnight on the Saturday closest to December 31. For clarity of presentation herein, fiscal years and quarters are referred to as if they ended on the traditional calendar month. The actual fiscal first quarters ended on April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively. The first quarters of both 2026 and 2025 included 13 weeks. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Public companies in the United States are subject to the accounting and reporting requirements of various authorities, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These authorities issue numerous pronouncements, most of which are not applicable to the Company’s current or reasonably foreseeable operating structure. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires public business entities to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, specific information about certain costs and expenses; namely, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and selling expenses. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations and the Company is currently evaluating this standard to determine the impact of adoption on its disclosures.
