David R. Little, Chairman and CEO commented, "Fiscal 2023 was another great year for DXP. DXPeople drove fourth quarter results, with strong performance across all business segments. Broad based business strength across the business helped us deliver 13.4 percent revenue growth on a year-over-year basis. This growth has fueled a healthy momentum coming into 2024. DXP’s Innovative Pumping Solutions sales were up 18.2 percent to $273.2 million, followed by Service Centers sales growing 13.4 percent to $1.1 billion and Supply Chain Services sales growing 8.3 percent at $260.4 million. Congratulations to all of our DXPeople for their hard work and efforts to serve our customers."

Mr. Little continued, "The sales momentum from the fourth quarter accompanied by our backlogs has positioned us for further success as we move into 2024. Additionally, we strengthened our balance sheet in the fourth quarter, raising a new Term Loan B which put an incremental $125 million in cash on the balance sheet. DXP’s balanced end markets, and our ability to continue to execute on acquisitions have set the stage for 2024. We see positive dynamics in our traditional end markets like oil & gas, as well as positive outlooks for end markets like water & wastewater. We are confident our growth strategy, coupled with a continued focus on improving margins and maintaining operational discipline will drive shareholder value."

Kent Yee, CFO commented, "Fiscal 2023 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 13.4 percent and 37.5 percent, respectively. Our fiscal 2023 diluted earnings per share was $3.89. 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 2024. DXP ended the year with $173.2 million in cash on the balance sheet and net debt of $375.5 million. DXP’s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA was 2.1:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $178.4 million for fiscal 2023. 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.

* Adjustment for taxes relates to the tax effects of the adjustments that we incorporated into non-GAAP measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure of Adjusted Net Income attributable to DXP Enterprises, Inc. Also, we have included an adjustment for the normalizing of tax credits and adjustments. The year-to-date effective tax rate of 20.8 percent was applied to the one-time charges associated with the disposal of DXP's variable interest entity and one-time debt financing costs.
