HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DXP Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXPE) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. The following are results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the back of this press release.

Third Quarter 2019 financial highlights:

  • Sales increased 6.2 percent to $327.2 million, compared to $308.0 million for the third quarter of 2018.
  • Earnings per diluted share for the third quarter was $0.71 based upon 18.4 million diluted shares, compared to $0.46 per share in the third quarter of 2018, based on 18.4 million diluted shares.
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the third quarter was $28.2 million compared to $23.2 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 21.4 percent.

David R. Little, Chairman and CEO commented, “DXP reported excellent sales and net income for the third quarter. We are pleased with our results, which reflect continued execution of our strategy and a focus on being customer driven experts in MROP solutions. Underlying demand in our end markets has wavered but we continue to take market share and focus on execution. We achieved 6.2 percent sales growth, maintained EBITDA margins and drove outstanding diluted earnings per share growth. During the third quarter of 2019, sales were $193.7 million for Service Centers, $82.2 million for Innovative Pumping Solutions and $51.3 million for Supply Chain Services. Business segment operating income increased 15.1 percent year-over-year. DXP’s third quarter 2019 total sales were $327.2 million and EBITDA grew 21.4 percent year-over-year. Overall, we maintained margin performance, continued to improve cash flow and executed in a changing end market backdrop. We will remain focused on growing the top-line and bottom-line as we move into fiscal 2020.”

Kent Yee, CFO, commented, “We are pleased with 6.2 percent sales growth and 8.6 percent EBITDA margins. This translated into $0.71 diluted earnings per share or 54.3 percent earnings growth year-over-year. Total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2019 was $245.0 million. DXP’s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA was 2.0:1.0. Our strong execution with our focus on sales growth and margin improvement delivered strong earnings, generated cash flow and continues to position us drive shareholder value.”

We will host a conference call regarding 2019 third quarter results on the Company’s website (www.dxpe.com) Thursday, November 7, 2019 at 10 am CST. Web participants are encouraged to go to the Company’s website at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the call to register, download and install any necessary audio software. The on-line archived replay will be available immediately after the conference call at www.dxpe.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

DXP supplements reporting of net income with non-GAAP measurements, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA 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 and free cash flow 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 facility. 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 from net income, 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.
