Highlight of Business Operations:

SALES. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased $10.9 million, or 6.5%, to approximately $157.6 million from $168.5 million for the same period in 2008. Sales for the MRO Segment decreased $10.7 million, or 6.4%. Sales by businesses acquired in 2008, on a same store sales basis, accounted for $14.2 million of 2009 sales. Excluding these sales by the acquired businesses, sales for the MRO segment decreased 14.9%. This sales decrease is primarily due to a broad-based decrease in sales of pumps, bearings, safety products and mill supplies. Sales for the Electrical Contractor segment decreased by $0.2 million, or 24.1%, for the current quarter when compared to the same period in 2008 resulting from the decline in the economy. The sales decrease resulted from decreased sales of commodity and specialty type electrical products.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased by approximately 1.9% for the first quarter of 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the MRO segment increased to 29.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from 27.2% in the comparable period of 2008. This increase is primarily the result of increased gross profit as a percentage of sales on sales of fabricated pump packages, supply chain services and MRO products and services in 2009 as compared to 2008 combined with the effect of the three businesses acquired during 2008 having a higher gross profit percentage than the remainder of DXP. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the Electrical Contractor segment decreased to 35.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 36.7% in the comparable period of 2008. This decrease resulted from sales of higher margin specialty-type electrical products decreasing more than sales of commodity products decreased.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased by approximately $4.0 million when compared to the same period in 2008. The increase consists of selling, general and administrative expenses of businesses acquired in 2008. Selling, general and administrative expense associated with the three businesses acquired in 2008, on a same store basis, accounted for $4.4 million of the 2009 expense. As a percentage of revenue, the 2009 expense increased by approximately 4.0%, to 25.0%, from 21.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. This increase is primarily the result of sales decreasing more than selling, general and administrative expenses decreased on a same store sales basis.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the first three months of 2009 decreased 36.7% compared to the same period in 2008. Operating income for the MRO segment decreased 36.4% as a result of increased selling, general and administrative expense for businesses acquired in 2008, partially offset by a minimal increase in gross profit. Operating income for the Electrical Contractor segment decreased 55.3% primarily as a result of decreased gross profit due to decreased sales.
