Houston, TX – May 8, 2024 – DXP Enterprises, Inc. ("DXP" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DXPE) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. The following are results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2023, where appropriate. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the back of this press release.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:

•Sales increased 1.4 percent sequentially to $412.6 million, compared to $407.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and decreased 2.7 percent compared to $424.3 million for the first quarter of 2023.
•Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $11.3 million, compared to $17.6 million for the first quarter of 2023.
•Earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2024 was $0.67 based upon 17.0 million diluted shares, compared to $0.95 earnings per diluted share in the first quarter of 2023, based on 18.4 million diluted shares. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.74 compared to $0.95 in the first quarter of 2023.
•Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 was $40.3 million compared to $43.1 million for the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales, or Adjusted EBITDA margin, was 9.8 percent and 10.2 percent, respectively.
•Free Cash Flow (cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures) for the first quarter of 2024 was $24.1 million, compared to $22.6 million for the first quarter of 2023.

David R. Little, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Our first quarter results reflect sequential sales growth driven by acquisitions, strong free cash flow, and continued efforts to expand and grow our business. We are encouraged by the sequential increases and the start to the year. As we look ahead to the rest of 2024, we remain optimistic around market conditions, our ability to execute our growth initiatives and the diversity of our end markets to deliver growth in 2024. DXP’s first quarter 2024 sales were $412.6 million. In terms of our business segments for the first quarter of 2024, sales were $288.4 million for Service Centers, $62.2 million for Innovative Pumping Solutions, and $62.0 million for Supply Chain Services. We believe we are well positioned to outgrow the market and to generate improved operating margins and returns for the benefit of our shareholders as we move further into 2024.”
Kent Yee, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, remarked, “Our first quarter sequential increase of 1.4 percent was great to see in addition to the $24.1 million of free cash flow along with the closing of three acquisitions. We continue to see bright spots in the market and we currently anticipate the second half of the year to drive growth as we benefit from increases in our project backlog and the diversification of our end markets. We had a strong quarter of free cash flow generation, producing $24.1 million in free cash flow during the first quarter in the midst of closing three acquisitions. DXP ended the quarter with $139.7 million in cash on the balance sheet and net debt of $407.6 million. DXP’s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.3:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $179.3 million for the last twelve-months ending March 31, 2024. We expect to drive organic and acquisition driven growth as we move through fiscal 2024.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

DXP supplements reporting of net income with certain non-GAAP measurements, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Free Cash Flow. This supplemental information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the unaudited GAAP measurements. Additional information regarding EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and net debt referred to in this press release are included below under "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information".

The Company believes EBITDA provides additional information about: (i) operating performance, because it assists in comparing the operating performance of the business, as it removes the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense as well as items not directly resulting from core operations such as interest expense and income taxes and (ii) the performance and the effectiveness of operational strategies. Additionally, EBITDA performance is a component of a measure of the Company’s financial covenants under its credit facilities. Furthermore, some investors use EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in the industry. Management believes that some investors’ understanding of performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing ongoing results of operations. By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with a reconciliation to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, the Company believes it is enhancing investors’ understanding of the business and results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well the Company is executing strategic initiatives. Free Cash Flow reconciles to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of cash flows from operations as provided below. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to fund acquisitions, make investments, repay debt obligations, repurchase shares of the Company's common stock, and for certain other activities.
