David R. Little, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Second quarter results reflect the execution of our growth strategy and the resilience and durability of DXP’s business. We are pleased with our sequential sales growth and strength in our gross profit margins. This resulted in operating leverage that produced earnings per share of $1.00. DXP’s second quarter 2024 sales were $445.6 million, or an 8.0 percent increase over the first quarter of 2024. Sequential organic sales for the quarter increased 5.3 percent or $21.3 million and acquisitions added another $23.4 million in sales during Q2. Adjusted EBITDA grew $7.9 million, or 19.5 percent over the first quarter of 2024. During the second quarter of 2024, sales were $306.5 million for Service Center, $73.4 million for Innovative Pumping Solutions, and $65.7 million for Supply Chain Services. Overall, we are very pleased with our performance and the progress DXP continues to make as a growth company.”

Kent Yee, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, remarked, “DXP achieved another high watermark quarter with an 8.0 percent sequential sales increase to $445.6 million in sales and 10.8 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins. We have closed four acquisitions through the second quarter, and we anticipate closing at least two more acquisitions during the second half of 2024. This quarters financial results reflect continued execution of our strategic goals and the impact of our diversification efforts, an overall reduced energy industry exposure, and a strong balance sheet to support our key initiatives. Total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2024, was $545.9 million. DXP’s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.64:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $187.6 million for the last twelve months ending June 30, 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.
