DXP Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXPE) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. The following are results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the back of this press release.

First Quarter 2023 financial highlights:

  • Sales increased 32.8 percent to $424.3 million, compared to $319.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 and 4.4 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Earnings per diluted share for the first quarter were $0.95 based upon 18.4 million diluted shares, compared to earnings of $0.65 per share in the first quarter of March 31, 2022, based on 19.4 million diluted shares.
  • Net income for the first quarter was $17.6 million, compared to $12.6 million for the corresponding prior-year period.
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges (Adjusted EBITDA) for the first quarter of 2023 was $43.1 million compared to $28.3 million for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales was 10.2 percent and 8.8 percent, respectively.
  • Free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures) for the first quarter of 2023 was $22.6 million compared to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2022.

“The DXPeople continue to perform well and set new highs amidst solid demand in an ever-changing environment. All three segments delivered strong growth and good margins, while we continue to invest in our growth strategies and continue to be customer driven experts,” commented David R. Little, Chairman and CEO.

“While managing the slowing pace of inflation and other market challenges, overall, we are off to a great start to the year, and we feel good about the outlook for 2023. With our strong, growing DXPeople, a robust acquisition pipeline, and a drive to continue to create value for all our stakeholders, we are confident in our ability to drive exceptional performance and growth in years to come. DXP’s first quarter 2023 sales were a record $424.3 million, or a 32.8 percent increase year-over-year and a 4.4 percent increase over the fourth quarter. Sales were $295.2 million for Service Centers, $62.0 million for Innovative Pumping Solutions and $67.0 million for Supply Chain Services.”

David R. Little, finally remarked, “Thanks to solid execution by our employees, DXP posted strong record sales results and adjusted EBITDA for our first quarter of 2023. The DXP team continues to improve and execute well in a challenging and inconsistent market environment. Profitable growth remains a primary focus, including M&A opportunities and organic initiatives, as we position DXP to deliver and drive increased shareholder value. Thank you to all our customers and DXPeople."

Kent Yee, CFO, remarked, “Our first quarter sales and adjusted EBITDA established another set of new high watermarks for DXP. Our first quarter year-over-year and sequential financial results continue to reflect the growth we have been experiencing over the last ten quarters and reflect our financial goals to grow organically and through acquisitions. We have diversified our end markets and business model exposure. Our acquisitions continued to perform well, contributing strongly to our overall sales and Adjusted EBITDA growth for the quarter. We remain very confident in our tremendous team, our balanced business, a strong balance sheet, and our ability to continue building and strengthening DXP through key initiatives and acquisitions. We expect to continue delivering exceptional performance and growth in the years ahead. Total debt outstanding as of March 31, 2023, was $427.0 million. DXP's secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.52:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $146.4 million for the last twelve months ending March 31, 2023. We expect to find ways to continue the momentum through fiscal 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 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. 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.
