HOUSTON --(BUSINESS WIRE)--
DXP Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company" or "DXPE") (NASDAQ: DXPE) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. The following are results for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, and for the three months ended June 30, 2023, where appropriate. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the back of this press release.
"The Company posted solid third-quarter results in a lessening inflationary market and varied spending by our customers, delivering solid sales, Adjusted EBITDA, earnings per share and Free Cash Flow performance," said David R. Little, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Third Quarter 2023 financial highlights:
Sales increased 8.2 percent to $419.2 million , compared to $387.3 million for the third quarter of 2022, and decreased 2.1 percent compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Net income increased 16.1 percent for the third quarter to $16.2 million , compared to $13.9 million for the corresponding prior-year period.
Earnings per diluted share for the third quarter was $0.93 based upon 17.4 million diluted shares, compared to earnings of $0.71 per diluted share in the third quarter of September 30, 2022, based on 19.7 million diluted shares.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023 was $44.0 million compared to $34.3 million for the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales, or Adjusted EBITDA Margin, was 10.5 percent and 8.9 percent, respectively.
Free Cash Flow for the third quarter of 2023 was $38.3 million compared to $(5.0) million for the third quarter of 2022
David R. Little, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer continued, “We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter as the team maintained momentum and delivered strong year-over-year results. We achieved 8.2 percent sales growth year-over-year, and solid ten percent plus EBITDA margins and growth. DXP’s third quarter 2023 sales were $419.2 million . Adjusted EBITDA grew 28.3 percent year-over-year. In terms of our business segments for the third quarter of 2023, sales were $294.5 million for Service Centers, $59.0 million for Innovative Pumping Solutions and $65.8 million for Supply Chain Services. Business segment operating income increased 20.3 percent year-over-year. 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 2024.”
Kent Yee, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, remarked, “Our third quarter year-over-year financial results continue to reflect the growth we have been experiencing in fiscal year 2023, and reflect our financial goals to grow through a combination of organic and acquisition sales. We had a strong quarter of Free Cash Flow generation, producing $38.3 million in Free Cash Flow during the third quarter. Total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2023, was $424.9 million . DXP’s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.3:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $168.5 million for the last twelve-months ending September 30, 2023. Subsequent to the third quarter, we announced the successful completion of the refinancing of our existing debt plus raising an incremental $125 million . This allowed us to reprice our existing borrowings, saving fifty basis points, while raising incremental monies to help drive anticipated acquisition growth while maintaining liquidity and flexibility. We expect to finish fiscal year 2023 strong with momentum continuing into fiscal year 2024.”

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, 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, 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.
