Our results reflect continued execution of our growth strategy, solid organic performance, contribution from recent acquisitions, and sustained strength in EBITDA margins. During the quarter, organic sales were $538.3 million, while acquisitions contributed $48.8 million in sales. We also saw continued strength across our business segments, with Service Centers generating $376.6 million in sales, Innovative Pumping Solutions generating $144.1 million, and Supply Chain Services generating $66.4 million. We remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives, integrating and pursuing acquisitions, generating strong cash flow, and positioning the Company for continued growth in 2027. Overall, we are proud of the progress DXP continues to make and grateful to our customers, suppliers, shareholders, and all of our DXPeople."

Kent Yee, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, remarked, "Our third quarter sales and adjusted EBITDA continue to show strength and resilience as we march upwards and set a new sales high watermark. 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 performed well in the third quarter with $587.2 million in sales. We closed five acquisitions through the third quarter. Total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2026, was $839.5 million. DXP’s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.30:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $270.0 million for the last twelve months ending September 30, 2026. We expect to finish fiscal year 2026 strong with momentum going into fiscal year 2027."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

DXP supplements reporting of net income with certain non-GAAP measurements, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS. 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, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, 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. Adjusted Net Income reconciles to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of Net Income as provided below. We believe Adjusted Net Income is important because it provides the investor with further clarity around Net Income excluding the impact of unique or one-time items during the respective period.
