David R. Little, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, "DXP delivered a strong second quarter and first half of 2026, with sales of $576.5 million, diluted earnings per share of $1.76, Adjusted EBITDA of $70.4 million, growing 22.8 percent, and free cash flow of $29.8 million. Our results reflect continued execution of our growth strategy, solid organic performance, contribution from recent acquisitions, and sustained strength in EBITDA margins. During the quarter, organic sales were $526.6 million, while acquisitions contributed $49.8 million in sales. We also saw continued strength across our business segments, with Service Centers generating $367.9 million in sales, Innovative Pumping Solutions generating $142.7 million, and Supply Chain Services generating $65.8 million. While the macro environment remains uncertain, including fiscal uncertainty, cautious central bank policies, market volatility, and geopolitical concerns, we believe DXP is well positioned to finish the second half of 2026 with momentum. We remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives, integrating and pursuing acquisitions, generating strong cash flow, and positioning the Company for continued growth in 2027. Overall, we are pleased with our performance, proud of the progress DXP continues to make, and grateful to our customers, suppliers, shareholders, and all of our DXPeople."

Kent Yee, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, remarked, "Our second quarter sales and adjusted EBITDA continue to set new high watermarks. Specifically, this quarter reflects continued execution of our strategic goals and the confidence we have in our balanced mix of business, tremendous teams, and a strong balance sheet to support our key initiatives. DXP performed well in the second quarter with $576.5 million in sales. We closed four acquisitions through the first half of the year and look forward to closing more during the second half of 2026. Total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2026, was $842.5 million. DXP’s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.30:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $267.3 million for the last twelve months ending June 30, 2026. We expect to finish fiscal year 2026 with strong momentum."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

DXP supplements reporting of net income with certain non-GAAP measurements, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS. 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, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, 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. Adjusted Net Income reconciles to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of Net Income as provided below. We believe Adjusted Net Income is important because it provides the investor with further clarity around Net Income excluding the impact of unique or one-time items during the respective period.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We define and calculate EBITDA as Net income attributable to DXP Enterprises, Inc., plus interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA as Net income attributable to DXP Enterprises, Inc., plus interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization plus stock-based compensation expense and all other non-cash charges, adjustments, and non-recurring items. We identify the impact of all other non-cash charges, adjustments and non-recurring items because we believe these items do not directly reflect our underlying operations.

We define and calculate EBITDA Margin as EBITDA divided by sales. We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales.

We define and calculate organic sales to include locations and acquisitions under our ownership for at least twelve months. "Acquisition Sales" are sales from acquisitions that have been under our ownership for less than twelve months and are excluded in our calculation of Organic Sales.

"Business Days" are days of the week, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, that our locations are open during the year. Depending on the location and the season, our branches may be open on Saturdays and Sundays; however, for consistency, those days have been excluded from the calculation of Business Days.

We define and calculate Sales per Business Day as sales divided by the number of Business Days in the relevant reporting period.

We define and calculate Organic Sales per Business Day as Organic Sales divided by the number of Business Days in the relevant reporting period.
