Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, or in other reports of the company and other written and oral statements made from time to time by the company, do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. As such, they are considered 'forward-looking statements' that provide current expectations or forecasts of future events. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as anticipate, believe, should, estimate, expect, intend, may, will, plan, goal, project, hope, trend, target, opportunity, and similar words or expressions, or by references to typical outcomes. Any statement that is not a purely historical fact, including estimates, projections, trends, and the outcome of events that have not yet occurred, is a forward-looking statement. Our forward-looking statements generally relate to our expectations regarding the business environment in which we operate, our projections of future performance and opportunities for growth based on potential market opportunities, our perceived marketplace opportunities, our strategies, goals, mission and vision, and our expectations about matters including capital expenditures, tax rates, inventory levels, liquidity, liabilities from tax positions, the performance of our fastener business in comparison to our non-fastener business, openings and closing of in-market locations and signings of Onsite locations and new machine equivalent units for Fastenal Managed Inventory (FMI) (including bin stock and industrial vending) and the competitive advantages they offer, our digital solutions and other product offerings (including new product lines), national accounts as a percentage of overall sales, the advantages of our integrated physical and virtual model, growth in safety products as a percentage of product sales, the amount of FMI revenue that we may be able to service through local inventory fulfillment terminals, and the ability of our competitors to replicate our distribution capabilities. You should understand that forward-looking statements involve a variety of risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, and may be affected by inaccurate assumptions. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may vary materially. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, economic downturns (including economic downturns as a result of global pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic), weakness in the manufacturing or commercial construction industries, competitive pressure on selling prices, changes in trade policies or tariffs, changes in our current mix of products, customers, or geographic locations, changes in our average branch size, changes in our purchasing patterns, changes in customer needs, changes in fuel or commodity prices, product and transportation inflation, inclement weather, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, difficulty in adapting our business model to different foreign business environments, failure to accurately predict the market potential of our business strategies, the introduction or expansion of new business strategies, increased competition (including with respect to our FMI or Onsite operations), difficulty in maintaining installation quality as our industrial vending business expands, the failure to meet our goals and expectations regarding expansion of our FMI or Onsite operations or any changes in branch locations, changes in the implementation objectives of our business strategies, difficulty in hiring, relocating, training, or retaining qualified personnel, difficulty in controlling operating expenses, difficulty in collecting receivables or accurately predicting future inventory needs, changes in sales trends, changes in supplier production lead times, changes in our cash position or our need to make capital expenditures, credit market volatility and increases in interest rates, changes in tax law or the impact of discrete items on future tax rates, changes in the availability or price of commercial real estate, changes in the nature, price, or availability of distribution, supply chain, or other technology (including software licensed from third parties) and services related to that technology, difficulty in obtaining continued business from new safety product customers and the acceptance by customers of any new product lines, cyber security incidents, potential liability and reputational damage that can arise if our products are defective, and other risks and uncertainties detailed in this Form 10-K under the heading 'Item 1A. Risk Factors'. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any such statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after such date.

本年次報告書（Form 10-K）に記載されているすべての金額は、1株および1株当たり金額を除き、また別段の記載がある場合を除き、百万ドル単位で表示されています。本書全体を通じて、四捨五入されていないドル数値に基づくパーセンテージおよびドル変動の計算は、ドル数値の四捨五入のため、本書のドル数値を使用して再計算できない場合があります。日次売上高率（DSR）の変化については、該当期間の成長（プラス）または縮小（マイナス）のいずれかを反映する場合がある。

ファステナル・カンパニー（以下、子会社と合わせて「ファステナル」または「当社」、あるいは「当社」、「私たち」と表記）は、1967年にパートナーシップとしてスタートし、1968年にミネソタ州法に基づき法人化されました。1967年、ミネソタ州ウィノナ市（現在の人口約26,000人）に最初の支店を開設しました。当初は、小都市、中都市、そして数年後には大都市に支店網を設け、ねじ込み式ファスナーを顧客に供給するというマーケティング戦略でスタートした。時が経つにつれて、私たちがどのように、どこでお客様と関わるかは拡大し、進化してきました。現在では、自動販売機、在庫管理装置、eコマースなど、多様なテクノロジーを活用した市場内拠点のグローバル・ネットワークを通じて、9種類以上の主要製品ラインにわたる、より幅広い産業・建設資材を販売している。取引の大半は企業間取引です。当社の製品ラインと市場チャネルについては、本書で後述する。2023年末現在、当社は25カ国に3,419カ所の市場内拠点（下表で定義）を有し、北米の15カ所の物流センター（米国12カ所、カナダ2カ所、メキシコ1カ所）と欧州の2カ所の物流センターがサポートしており、23,201人を雇用しています。当社の成功は、従業員の質の高さと顧客との利便性の高さ、そして顧客の総調達コストを削減するためのあらゆる製品とサービスを提供する当社の能力に起因すると考えています。

当グループは主に支店と現地拠点を通じて顧客にサービスを提供している。支店とオンサイトは顧客のすぐ近くに存在し、前者の場合は通常数マイル以内、後者の場合は顧客の物理的な所在地内またはすぐ近くに存在することがほとんどで、合わせて当社の「市場内」ネットワークを構成しています。多くの顧客はeコマースを通じて当社と取引しているが、ほとんどの場合、これらの顧客はeコマースを利用して当社の他のチャネルによるサービスを補完している。
