DXP’s first quarter 2025 sales were $476.6 million, or a 15.5 percent increase over the first quarter of 2024. Organic sales for the quarter, increased 11.1 percent and acquisitions added $31.1 million in sales. Adjusted EBITDA grew $12.2 million, or 30.2 percent over the first quarter of 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, sales were $327.1 million for Service Centers, $63.3 million for Supply Chain Services, and $86.2 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 remainder of 2025."

Kent Yee, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, remarked, "Our first quarter year-over-year increase of 15.5 percent was great to see. We continue to see bright spots in the market, and we currently anticipate the second half of the year to drive growth as we benefit from increases in our project backlog and the diversification of our end markets. DXP ended the quarter with $114.3 million in cash on the balance sheet. 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.

DXP’s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.50:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $212.8 million for the last twelve months ending March 31, 2025."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

DXP supplements reporting of net income with certain non-GAAP measurements, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, 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, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and net debt 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 to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, 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 shares of the Company's common stock, and for certain other activities.

We identify the impact of all other non-cash charges, adjustments and non-recurring items because we believe these items do not directly reflect our underlying operations.

 

We define and calculate EBITDA Margin as EBITDA divided by sales. We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales.
