David R. Little, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “DXP accomplished a lot in 2025, and we would like to thank all our 'DXPeople' for their efforts this year. We were focused on improving and managing our growth, culture, expenses, working capital, and ease of doing business, with our business segments and product divisions. DXPeople drove fourth quarter results well above expectations, with strong performance across DXP. Broad based business strength across the business helped us deliver 11.9 percent revenue growth on a year-over-year basis. This growth has fueled a healthy momentum coming into 2026. DXP’s Innovative Pumping Solutions sales were up 26.4 percent to $390.3 million, followed by Service Centers sales growing 11.0 percent to $1.4 billion and Supply Chain Services sales declining 1.4 percent to $252.9 million. Congratulations to all our DXPeople for their hard work and efforts to serve our customers."

Mr. Little continued, "The sales momentum from the fourth quarter has positioned us for further success as we move into 2026. Additionally, we strengthened our balance sheet in the fourth quarter, raising an incremental $205 million under our Term Loan B. The strength of the balance sheet, the balanced end markets that we have delivered upon, and our ability to continue to execute on acquisitions have set the stage for 2026. We have a positive outlook for end markets like water & wastewater and see positive dynamics developing in the 2nd half of 2026 for our traditional end markets like energy. We are confident our growth strategy, coupled with a continued focus on improving margins and maintaining operational discipline will drive shareholder value."

Kent Yee, Chief Financial Officer commented, "Fiscal 2025 financial performance reflects the execution of our end market diversification efforts, our plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, and continuous improvement in our operations and efficiency. Total sales and adjusted EBITDA grew 11.9 percent and 17.8 percent, respectively. We delivered strong sales growth, operating margin expansion, and thus, operating leverage of 1.5x. Our fiscal 2025 diluted earnings per share was $5.37. We are pleased with the fourth quarter, and year-end results. We positioned our balance sheet in the fourth quarter to support our growth plans in 2026. DXP ended the year with $303.8 million in cash on the balance sheet and net debt of $543.0 million. DXP’s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA was 2.3:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $241.4 million for fiscal 2025, which continues to remain significantly below our covenant of 5.75:1.0. We continue to have momentum going into fiscal 2026 and we expect to drive both organic and acquisition driven growth while driving shareholder and stakeholder value."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

DXP supplements reporting of net income with non-GAAP measurements, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, Adjusted Net Income attributable to DXP Enterprises, Inc., 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, free cash flow and Adjusted Net Income attributable to DXP Enterprises, Inc. 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.
