David R. Little, Chairman and CEO remarked, “Thanks to solid execution by our employees, DXP posted strong record sales results for our third quarter of 2022. Our sales growth is being fueled by diversifying into new markets, selling innovative products in new and existing markets, and helping our customers with environmental projects. Our acquisition strategy is focused on stable essential markets that are environmentally friendly. Our results are improving with 33.8 percent year-over-year and 5.3 percent sequential sales growth and 9 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins. During the third quarter, we continued to have strong organic growth within Supply Chain Services, solid organic growth in Service Centers and a meaningful increase in Innovative Pumping Solutions. For the third quarter, sales were $260.1 million for Service Centers, $68.2 million for Supply Chain Services and $59.0 million for Innovative Pumping Solutions. Thank you to all our customers and congratulations to our DXPeople for our record results."

Kent Yee, CFO, remarked, “Our third quarter sales established a new high watermark for DXP. Our third quarter year-over-year and sequential financial results continue to reflect the growth we have been experiencing and reflect our financial goals to grow organically and through acquisition. We are diversifying our end markets and business model exposure. While we face uncertainties going into next year, we remain very confident in our 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 deliver exceptional performance and growth in the years ahead. Total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2022 was $364.8 million. DXP's secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.86:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $121.8 million for the last twelve months ending September 30, 2022. We expect to finish 2022 with strong momentum.”

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.
