Houston, TX – November 5, 2018 – DXP Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXPE) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018. The following are results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the back of this press release.

Third Quarter 2018 financial highlights:

Sales increased 22.3 percent to $308.0 million, compared to $251.9 million for the third quarter of 2017.
Earnings per diluted share for the third quarter was $0.46 based upon 18.4 million diluted shares, compared to $0.16 per share in the third quarter of 2017, based on 18.2 million diluted shares.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the third quarter was $23.2 million compared to $13.5 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of 71.9 percent. EBITDA as a percentage of sales was 7.5 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively, comparing the third quarter of 2018 versus 2017.

David R. Little, Chairman and CEO commented, “We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter as the team maintained momentum and delivered strong results. The oil and gas and industrial economy remain firm with all key indicators remaining positive. We achieved 22.3 percent sales growth, solid EBITDA margins and outstanding diluted earnings per share growth. DXP’s third quarter 2018 sales were $308.0 million. Organic sales for the quarter increased 17.5 percent year-over-year and acquisitions added $12.1 million in sales. EBITDA grew 71.9 percent year-over-year. In terms of our business segments for the third quarter of 2018, sales were $187.8 million for Service Centers, $76.7 million for Innovative Pumping Solutions and $43.6 million for Supply Chain Services. Business segment operating income increased 55.6 percent year-over-year. Overall, DXP has been trending around 20 percent growth year-over-year which is consistent with our expectations. With the outlook for global economic growth and oil and industrial demand remaining solid, we still look to show improvement in organic and acquisition sales growth and margins. We believe we are well positioned to outgrow the market and to generate improved operating margins and returns for the benefit of our shareholders as we begin to move into 2019.”   

Kent Yee, CFO, remarked, “Our third quarter year-over-year financial results continue to reflect the growth we have been experiencing in fiscal 2018 and reflect our financial goals to grow 20 percent year-over-year, through a combination of organic and acquisition sales. On a sales per day basis, DXP continues to show sequential increases and has experienced eight consecutive quarters of sales per day per quarter increases. Total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2018 was $249.6 million. DXP’s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.7:1.0. We expect to finish fiscal 2018 with strong momentum continuing into fiscal 2019.”

We will host a conference call regarding 2018 third quarter results on the Company’s website (www.dxpe.com) Monday, November 5, 2018 at 10 am CST. Web participants are encouraged to go to the Company’s website at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the call to register, download and install any necessary audio software.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
DXP supplements reporting of net income with non-GAAP measurements, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA 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 and free cash flow 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.
