David R. Little, Chairman and CEO commented, "Second quarter results reflect 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 $1.06. We continue to experience broad-based demand across our key regions, products, and end markets. DXP’s second quarter 2023 sales were $428.0 million, or a 16.4 percent increase over the second quarter of 2022. Organic sales for the quarter, increased 20.2 percent and acquisitions added $7.3 million in sales. Adjusted EBITDA grew $12.7 million, or 38.9 percent over the second quarter of 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, sales were $298.4 million for Service Center, $66.2 million for Supply Chain Services, and $63.4 million for Innovative Pumping Solutions. Overall, we are very pleased with our performance and the progress DXP continues to make as a growth company. We are optimistic that we can show continued sales and profit improvement during the second half of 2023."

Kent Yee, CFO remarked, "This is DXP’s eleventh consecutive quarter of sequential sales increases. We closed two acquisitions and look forward to closing more during the second half of 2023. Our second quarter sales and adjusted EBITDA continues 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. Total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2023, was $425.9 million. DXP’s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.53:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $161.9 million for the last twelve months ending June 30, 2023."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

DXP supplements reporting of net income with non-GAAP measurements, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, non-GAAP net income and net debt. This supplemental information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the unaudited GAAP measurements. Additional information regarding EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and non-GAAP net income 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 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. 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 company shares, and for certain other activities.
