Insights

Solid revenue and operating gains; net income tempered by taxes and interest.

DSGR delivered higher sales in Q3 with revenue of $517.958M and operating income of $23.619M, reflecting scale from recent acquisitions and core growth. Gross profit reached $170.326M, supporting improved operating results versus the prior year quarter.

Below the line, higher interest expense and a normalized tax provision constrained net income to $6.452M and diluted EPS of $0.14. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, interest expense was $42.408M, a notable drag on earnings power.

Liquidity appears supported by year‑to‑date operating cash flow of $66.906M, quarter‑end cash of $69.214M, and revolving borrowing availability of $252.7M. Total debt of $711.639M and ongoing amortization underscore the importance of margin execution and cost control to sustain deleveraging momentum.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties. Terms such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplates,” “continues,” “could,” “ensure,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecasts,” “if,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plan,” “positioned,” “potential,” “predict,” “probable,” “project,” “shall,” “should,” “strategy,” “will,” “would,” and variations of them and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression (and the negatives of such words and terms) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, intentions or beliefs as of the date they are made and are subject to a number of factors, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences or that might otherwise impact our business, financial condition and results of operations include:

inventory obsolescence;
work stoppages and other disruptions at transportation centers or shipping ports;
changes in our customers, product mix and pricing strategy;
disruptions of our information and communication systems;
cyber-attacks, other information security incidents or IT system outages;
the inability to successfully recruit, integrate and retain productive sales representatives;
failure to retain talented employees, managers and executives;
difficulties in integrating the business operations of TestEquity Acquisition, LLC (“TestEquity”) and 301 HW Opus Holdings, Inc., which conducts business as Gexpro Services (“Gexpro Services”), with our other operations, and/or the failure to successfully combine those operations within our expected timetable;
the inability of management to successfully implement changes in operating processes;
various risks involved in any pursuit or completion by us of additional acquisitions;
competition in the markets in which we operate;
potential impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets;
changes that affect governmental and other tax-supported entities;
failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;
changes in our segment reporting structure;
our significant amount of indebtedness;
failure to adequately fund our operating and working capital needs through cash generated from operations and borrowings available under our credit facility;
failure to meet the covenant requirements of our credit facility or an increase in interest rates under our credit facility;
government efforts to combat inflation, along with other interest rate pressures, could lead to higher financing costs;
declines in the market price of our common stock (the “DSG common stock”);
the significant influence of Luther King Capital Management Corporation (“LKCM”) over the Company in light of its ownership percentage;
any sales of shares of DSG common stock held by entities affiliated with LKCM or the possibility of any such sales;
violations of environmental protection regulations;
changes in tax matters;
results of income tax audits, sales tax audits or similar proceedings;
risks arising from our international operations;
potential limitations on our ability to use our net operating losses and certain other tax attributes generated prior to the April 1, 2022 merger transactions in which TestEquity and Gexpro Services merged with and into subsidiaries of DSG, with TestEquity and Gexpro Services surviving as wholly-owned subsidiaries of DSG, and in connection with which DSG issued shares of DSG common stock to the former equityholders of TestEquity and Gexpro Services in exchange for their equity interests in TestEquity and Gexpro Services;
public health emergencies;
a downturn in the economy or in certain sectors of the economy;
changes in energy costs, tariffs, transportation costs and the cost of raw materials used in our products, and other inflationary pressures;
enhanced tariffs, changes in trade policies and import and export regulations of the U.S. and foreign governments;
supply chain constraints, inflationary pressure and labor shortages;
foreign currency exchange rate changes; and
the other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Organization

Distribution Solutions Group, Inc. (“DSG”), a Delaware corporation, is a global specialty distribution company providing value added distribution solutions to the maintenance, repair and operations (“MRO”), original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and industrial technology markets.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “DSG”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” refer to Distribution Solutions Group, Inc., and all entities consolidated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Nature of Operations

A summary of the nature of operations for our reportable segments is presented below.

Lawson is a distributor of specialty products and services to the industrial, commercial, institutional and governmental MRO marketplace. Lawson primarily distributes MRO products to its customers through a network of sales representatives and an inside sales channel throughout the United States and Canada.

TestEquity is a distributor of test and measurement equipment and solutions, industrial and electronic production supplies, vendor managed inventory programs, and converting, fabrication and adhesive solutions from its leading manufacturer partners supporting the aerospace and defense, wireless and communication, semiconductors, industrial electronics and automotive, and electronics manufacturing industries.

Gexpro Services is a global supply chain solutions provider, specializing in the development of mission critical production line management, aftermarket and field installation programs.

Canada Branch Division combines the operations of our Bolt and Source Atlantic subsidiaries, which distribute industrial MRO supplies, safety products, fasteners, power tools and related value-add services to the Canadian MRO market through the sale of products and services via warehouse shipments and to its walk-up customers through 36 branch locations.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with DSG’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All normal recurring adjustments have been made that are necessary to fairly state the results of operations for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Period-end Dates: The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, except for the subsidiaries in the Gexpro Services segment, operate on a calendar year-end. Gexpro Services operates on a calendar year-end for annual reporting purposes. However, quarterly financial statements for Gexpro Services are prepared on financial close dates that may differ from that of the Company. For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, there was a three day difference in the period end. The consolidated financial statement impact of the three day difference arising from the different period ends for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was not material. The Company utilizes the exchange rates in effect at Gexpro Services’ reporting date and the appropriate weighted-average rate for its fiscal reporting period.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There were no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in DSG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 2 of the 2024 consolidated financial statements included in DSG’s
11


Table of Contents
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further details of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. The FASB issues updates to new accounting pronouncements through the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on, or are unrelated to, its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to require greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The pronouncement is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income, which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items within the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides all entities with a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets. The pronouncement is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The new standard requires entities to consider whether significant development uncertainty has been resolved before starting to capitalize software costs and aligns disclosure requirements with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified transition method, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.

Note 3 – Business and Asset Acquisitions

DSG and its operating companies acquired businesses during the year ended December 31, 2024. The acquisitions were accounted for under ASC 805, the acquisition method of accounting. For each acquisition, the allocation of consideration exchanged to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on estimated acquisition-date fair values. The final valuations will be completed within the one-year measurement period following the respective acquisition date, and any adjustments will be recorded in the period in which the adjustments are determined.

2024 Acquisitions

ConRes Test Equipment

On November 18, 2024, DSG acquired the assets of ConRes Test Equipment, (“ConRes TE” and the “ConRes TE Transaction”), for a purchase price of approximately $17.0 million. These assets were acquired to expand TestEquity’s test equipment offerings and value-add service capabilities in all of our end markets. The results of operations from the additional assets acquired from ConRes TE are included within the TestEquity reportable segment. The acquisition was funded using DSG’s cash on hand and its revolving credit facility. This acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the acquired assets were concentrated in property, plant and equipment.

Note 8 – Earnout Liabilities

Frontier Acquisition

On March 31, 2022, Gexpro Services acquired Frontier Technologies Brewton, LLC and Frontier Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. ("Frontier"). The consideration for the Frontier acquisition included a potential earn-out payment of up to $3.0 million based upon the achievement of certain milestones and relative thresholds during the earn-out measurement period, which ended on December 31, 2024, with payments made annually beginning in 2023 and ending in 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, a $2.0 million earn-out payment was made based on the achievement of certain milestones in 2024 and cumulatively during the earn-out period. No earn-out payment was made in 2024 based on certain milestones not met in 2023. During the first quarter of 2023, a $1.0 million earn-out payment was made based on the achievement of certain milestones in 2022. No additional payments will be made subsequent to the first quarter of 2025. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was classified as a Level 3 instrument and was determined using a probability-based scenario analysis approach. As of March 31, 2022 (the Frontier acquisition date), December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025, the fair value of the earn-out was $0.9 million, $1.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, with amounts recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recorded expense of $0.0 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and expense of $0.9 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, for changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability, as a component of Change in fair value of earnout liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Total long-term debt$665,539 $693,903 

On March 31, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), which amended the previous credit agreement dated as of April 1, 2022 (as amended by the First Amendment dated June 8, 2023, the Second Amendment dated June 13, 2024, the Third Amendment dated August 14, 2024, and the Fourth Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Fourth Amendment increased the aggregate amount of restricted payments permitted under the Amended Credit Agreement during any fiscal year, subject to certain conditions, from $10 million to $25 million.

As amended, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $255 million senior secured revolving credit facility, with a $25 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $10 million swingline loan sub-facility, (ii) a $250 million senior secured initial term loan facility, (iii) $505 million of incremental term loans, (iv) a $50 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility and (v) the Company to increase the commitments thereunder from time to time by up to $300 million in the aggregate, subject to, among other things, the receipt of additional commitments from existing and/or new lenders and pro forma compliance with certain financial covenants.

The Company has unused outstanding letters of credit of $2.3 million as of September 30, 2025. Net of these letters of credit, there was $252.7 million of borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2025.

The Second Amendment dated June 13, 2024 replaced a specified benchmark interest rate for certain loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, whereby effective June 28, 2024, the CDOR Rate was replaced with the CORRA Rate (each as
22


Table of Contents
defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The additional margin range did not change. As amended, loans under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 0.0% to 1.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) or the CORRA Rate, plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amended Credit Agreement requires that the proceeds of any revolving credit facility loans be used for working capital and general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, permitted acquisitions), and requires that the proceeds of any delayed draw term loan facility be used solely to finance the payment of consideration for acquisitions permitted under the Amended Credit Agreement, and for any fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

The Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to pay certain closing fees, arrangement fees, administration fees, commitment fees, ticking fees and letter of credit fees. These fees are reported as a component of Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and vary depending on the total net leverage ratio as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. Fees were nominal in 2025 and 2024.

On August 14, 2024, the Company incurred deferred financing costs of $1.8 million associated with the Third Amendment. Deferred financing costs of $3.4 million were incurred during 2023 in connection with the First Amendment dated June 8, 2023, and deferred financing costs of $4.0 million were incurred during 2022 in connection with the previous credit agreement. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the debt instrument and reported as a component of Interest expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Amortization of deferred financing costs was $0.8 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.8 million and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, total deferred financing costs net of accumulated amortization were $5.0 million of which $3.7 million are included in Long-term debt, less current portion, net (related to the senior secured term loan, senior secured delayed draw term loan and incremental term loans) and $1.3 million are included in Other assets (related to the senior secured revolving credit facility) in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Each of the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement mature on April 1, 2027, at which time all outstanding loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, must be repaid and the revolving credit facility commitments will terminate. Future maturities of long-term debt are $40.3 million per year payable in equal quarterly installments during 2025 and 2026, with the remaining balance of $659.1 million due in 2027 upon maturity. The Company is also required to prepay the term loans with the net cash proceeds from any disposition of certain assets (subject to reinvestment rights) or from the incurrence of any unpermitted debt. The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow the revolving loans until April 1, 2027, prepay any of the term loans, and terminate any of the commitments, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions and the reimbursement of certain lender costs in the case of prepayments of certain types of loans.

Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, the obligations of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and the obligations of each of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries.

Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on substantially all assets of the Company, each other borrower and each guarantor.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including financial maintenance covenants requiring the Company to maintain compliance with a consolidated minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total net leverage ratio, each determined in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement contains various events of default (subject to exceptions, thresholds and grace periods as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement). Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all obligations at a rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the applicable interest rate. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2025.

Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million and $4.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and expense of $2.4 million and $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). A portion of the Company’s stock-based awards are liability-classified. Accordingly, changes in the market value of DSG common stock may result in stock-based compensation expense or benefit in certain periods. A stock-based compensation liability of $0.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and $2.0 million as of December 31, 2024 was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Restricted Stock Awards

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued approximately 104,650 restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) that vest over one year to five years from the grant date with a grant date fair value of $3.2 million. Upon vesting, the vested RSAs are exchanged for an equal number of shares of DSG common stock. The participants have no voting or dividend rights under the RSAs. The RSAs are valued at the closing price of the DSG common stock on the date of grant and the expense is recorded ratably over the vesting period.

Stock Options

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted approximately 422,500 stock options with a grant date fair value of $5.4 million. Stock options vest through the fifth anniversary from the grant date. Each stock option can be exchanged for one share of DSG common stock at the stated exercise price. Upon vesting, stock options are recognized as a component of equity.

The grant date fair value of the stock options issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The weighted average fair value assumptions used in the model were as follows:
Expected volatility45.6%
Risk-free rate of return4.1%
Expected term (in years)6.5
Expected annual dividend$0

The expected volatility was based on the historic volatility of the Company’s stock price commensurate with the expected life of the stock options. The risk-free rate of return reflects the interest rate offered for zero coupon treasury bonds over the expected life of the stock options. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and was calculated using the simplified method allowed by the SEC, which approximates our historical experience. The estimated annual dividend was based on the recent dividend payout trend.

Note 11 – Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

Under an existing stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, the Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or by other methods. During the first nine months of 2025, the Company repurchased 653,213 shares of DSG common stock under the repurchase program at an average cost of $30.69 per share for a total cost of $20.0 million. During the first nine months of 2024, the Company repurchased 85,644 shares of DSG common stock under the repurchase program at an average cost of $30.13 per share for a total cost of $2.6 million. The remaining availability for stock repurchases under the program was $6.3 million at September 30, 2025.

Note 13 – Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million, a 23.0% effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025. An income tax benefit of $19.0 million, a (652.3)% effective tax rate was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign income and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign income and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $11.0 million, a 42.9% effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. An income tax benefit of $23.3 million, a 498.1% effective tax rate was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign income and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign income and a change in the valuation allowance related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2025, the Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for the years 2022 through 2024 and income tax examinations from various other jurisdictions for the years 2018 through 2024.

Earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. A distribution of these non-U.S. earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise would subject the company to foreign withholding taxes and may subject the Company to U.S. federal and state taxes. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to indefinitely reinvested profits is not feasible primarily due to the Company’s legal entity structure and the complexity of U.S. tax laws.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. In accordance with GAAP, the Company accounted for the tax effects of the change in tax law in the period of enactment, which is the third quarter of calendar year 2025. The net impact of these tax law changes was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matter

In 2012, it was determined that a Company-owned site in Decatur, Alabama, contained hazardous substances in the soil and groundwater as a result of historical operations prior to the Company’s ownership. The Company retained an environmental consulting firm to further investigate the contamination, prepare a remediation plan, and enroll the site in the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (“ADEM”) voluntary cleanup program.

A remediation plan was approved by ADEM in 2018. The plan consisted of chemical injections throughout the affected area, as well as subsequent monitoring of the area. The injection process was completed in the first quarter of 2019 and the environmental consulting firm monitored the affected area. On July 30, 2025, the Company received a letter of concurrence from the ADEM, indicating that all remediation requirements have been satisfactorily fulfilled. Consequently, this matter is considered to be resolved in its entirety, and no additional expenses are anticipated to be incurred subsequent to September 30, 2025, in connection with this issue.

In addition to these four reportable segments, we have an “All Other” category which includes unallocated DSG holding company costs that are not directly attributable to the ongoing operating activities of our reportable segments.

Organic Growth Strategy

We intend to grow our businesses organically by exploring growth opportunities that provide different channels to reach customers, increase revenue and generate positive results. We plan to utilize our Company structure to grow organic revenue through collaborative selling across our diverse customer base and expanding the digital capabilities across our platform.

Acquisition Strategy

In addition to organic growth, we plan to actively pursue acquisition opportunities complementary to our businesses and that we believe will be financially accretive to our organization.

Sales Drivers

DSG believes that the Purchasing Managers Index (“PMI”) published by the Institute for Supply Management is an indicative measure of the relative strength of the economic environment of the industry in which it operates. The PMI is a composite index of economic activity in the U.S. manufacturing sector. A measure of the PMI index above 50 is generally viewed as indicating an expansion of the manufacturing sector while a measure below 50 is generally viewed as representing a

contraction. The average monthly PMI was 49.1 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 48.3 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Lawson Sales Drivers

The North American MRO market is highly fragmented. Lawson competes for business with several national distributors as well as a large number of regional and local distributors. The MRO business is impacted by the overall strength of the manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy.

Lawson’s revenue is also influenced by the number of sales representatives and their productivity. Lawson plans to continue concentrating its efforts on increasing the productivity and size of its sales team. Additionally, Lawson drives revenue through the expansion of products sold to existing customers as well as attracting new customers and additional ship-to locations. Lawson also utilizes an inside sales team to help drive field sales representative productivity and also utilizes an e-commerce site to generate sales.

TestEquity Sales Drivers

The North American market for test and measurement, industrial, and electronic production supplies is highly fragmented, with competition ranging from global to regional distributors. TestEquity stands out through its portfolio of specialized brands, technical knowledge, and digital platforms, each tailored to serve specific needs across the electronics lifecycle. These brands maintain unique identities and address every stage of the electronics process—from R&D to assembly and ongoing maintenance. This multi-brand approach enables TestEquity to offer an extensive product range, expert support, and tailored technical solutions, positioning it as a trusted partner across diverse customer requirements.

Revenue growth is fueled by TestEquity’s comprehensive catalog of test and measurement equipment, electronic production supplies, and industrial tools, supported by a high-touch, consultative sales model. Strategic acquisitions have expanded its customer base and strengthened recurring rental revenue. We believe that continued investments in e-commerce, rising demand from high-growth sectors like aerospace and telecommunications, and TestEquity’s strong positioning as a preferred vendor amid supplier consolidation will contribute to sustained momentum and long-term value creation.

Gexpro Services Sales Drivers

The global supply chain solutions market is highly fragmented across Gexpro Services’ key vertical segments. Gexpro Services’ competitors range from large global distributors and manufacturers to small regional domestic distributors and manufacturers. Gexpro Services’ revenue is influenced by our OEMs’ production schedules, new product introduction launches, and service project needs.

Gexpro Services’ strategy is to increase revenue through increasing wallet share with existing customers, customer-led geographic expansion, new customer development in its six key vertical markets and leveraging its portfolio of recent acquisitions to expand its installation and aftermarket services.

Canada Branch Division Sales Drivers

Canada Branch Division combines the operations of our Bolt and Source Atlantic subsidiaries, which distribute industrial MRO supplies, safety products, fasteners, power tools and related value-add services to the Canadian MRO market through the sale of products and services via warehouse shipments and to its walk-up customers through 36 branch locations. Source Atlantic was acquired to expand DSG’s operating footprint in the Canadian market.

Canada Branch Division’s strategy is to grow revenue through increasing wallet share with existing customers, via introduction of new product lines and services in geographic areas that were underserviced previously. Additionally, Canada Branch Division will engage new customers and additional ship-to locations with its national sales team.

Supply Chain Disruptions

We continue to be affected by rising supplier costs caused by inflation and increased tariffs, transportation and labor costs. We have instituted various price increases during 2024 and 2025 in response to rising supplier costs including tariffs, as well as increased transportation and labor costs in order to attempt to manage our gross profit margins.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is contained within Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in DSG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes to our previously disclosed critical accounting policies and use of estimates. The following provides information on the accounts requiring more significant estimates.

Income Taxes - Deferred tax assets or liabilities reflect temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. Such amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions as well as deferred tax asset and liability balances, including the estimation of valuation allowances and the evaluation of uncertain tax positions.

Goodwill Impairment - Goodwill represents the cost of business acquisitions in excess of the fair value of identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company reviews goodwill for potential impairment annually on October 1st, or when an event or other circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying value.

The first step in the multi-step process to determine if goodwill has been impaired and to what degree is to review the relevant qualitative factors that could cause the fair value of the reporting unit to decrease below the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company considers factors such as macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant factors that would affect the individual reporting units. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit, then no further impairment testing is needed. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company will move to the next step in the process. The Company will estimate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit’s carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company will record an impairment of goodwill equal to the amount the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill previously recognized.

Business Combinations - We allocate the purchase price paid for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with our acquisitions based on their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition. This allocation involves a number of assumptions, estimates, and judgments in determining the fair value, as of the acquisition date, of the following:
intangible assets, including the valuation methodology (the relief of royalty method for trade names and multi-period excess earnings method for customer relationships), estimations of future cash flows, discount rates, royalty rates, recurring revenue attributed to customer relationships, and our assumed market segment share, as well as the estimated useful life of intangible assets;
deferred tax assets and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, and tax-related valuation allowances;
inventory;
property, plant and equipment;
pre-existing liabilities or legal claims;
contingent consideration, including estimating the likelihood and timing of achieving the relevant thresholds; and
goodwill as measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

Our assumptions and estimates are based upon comparable market data and information obtained from our management and the management of the acquired companies. We allocate goodwill to the reporting units of the business that are expected to benefit from the business combination.

Factors Affecting Comparability to Prior Periods

Our results of operations are not directly comparable on a year-over-year basis due to various prior acquisitions. We account for acquisitions under Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Accordingly, the results of acquisitions are only included subsequent to their respective acquisition dates. Refer to Note 3 – Business and Asset Acquisitions within Item 1. Financial Statements for a description of each acquisition completed in 2024 and the reportable segment in which each acquisition’s respective results of operations are included.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain infrequently occurring, seasonal or non-operational items that impact the overall comparability. These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the Company’s operating performance and may provide investors with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-operational or non-cash items whose fluctuations from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operating performance of our business and consequently may impact the overall comparability from period to period. We define Adjusted EBITDA as operating income plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, severance and acquisition related retention costs, costs related to the execution and integration of acquisitions, amortization of the fair value step-up of inventory resulting from acquisitions and other non-recurring items. Management uses operating income and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of its reportable segments. See Note 14 – Segment Information within Item 1. Financial Statements for additional information about our reportable segments.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and Operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA by segment is not provided because management does not determine or review net income at the segment level and does not allocate non-operating costs and expenses to its segments, such as income taxes, interest expense, and various other non-operating income and expense.

Overview of Consolidated Results of Operations

Our consolidated revenue increased $49.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily driven by $23.3 million from acquisitions completed in 2024 and an increase in organic revenue of $26.6 million or 6.0%. Consolidated gross profit and Selling, general and administrative expenses also increased in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by the inclusion of the S&S Automotive, Source Atlantic, TCR and ConRes TE acquisitions completed in 2024.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue increased $3.6 million, or 3.0%, to $121.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $118.0 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increased sales to Lawson’s strategic, government, and automotive customers.

Gross profit increased $1.0 million, or 1.5%, to $66.3 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to gross profit of $65.3 million in the prior year quarter primarily as a result of the increase in revenue. Lawson gross profit as a percent of revenue was 54.6% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 55.4% in the prior year quarter. The gross profit margin percentage decrease was primarily due to increased vendor costs and higher tariff rates on inbound freight partially offset by lower amortization of the fair value step-up of inventory of $0.4 million related to the S&S Automotive Transaction and customer price increases.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation and support for Lawson sales representatives and expenses to operate Lawson’s distribution network and overhead expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.7 million to $60.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $64.6 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in severance expense, merger and acquisition expenses and stock based compensation of $1.4 million, $3.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The decrease was partially offset by increased employee related expenses due to increased headcount, annual incentives and health insurance.

Adjusted EBITDA

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, Lawson generated Adjusted EBITDA of $14.0 million, or 11.5% of sales. This is a decrease of $1.5 million from the same period a year ago primarily driven by higher employee related costs and a lower gross profit margin percentage partially offset by increased revenue.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue increased $11.2 million, or 5.8%, to $206.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $195.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $8.0 million increase in test and measurement sales, a $1.0 million increase in rental revenue and $2.0 million of additional revenue generated from the 2024 acquisition of ConRes TE.

Gross profit decreased $0.7 million to $43.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to gross profit of $44.3 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by $1.2 million of higher depreciation expense due to the expansion of the rental equipment fleet from the 2024 acquisition of ConRes TE. TestEquity gross profit as a percent of revenue decreased to 21.1% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 22.7% in the prior year quarter primarily due to higher depreciation expense on the expanded rental equipment fleet and a shift in sales toward test and measurement which have lower margins.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation and support for TestEquity’s sales representatives and expenses to operate TestEquity’s distribution network and overhead expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million to $41.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $40.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in stock based compensation of $0.9 million, $0.6 million of higher bad debt expense and $0.6 million of higher employee related expenses, partially offset by lower severance and acquisition related retention expenses of $0.8 million, lower merger and acquisition expenses of $0.8 million and a higher gain on the sale of rental equipment of $0.4 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, TestEquity generated Adjusted EBITDA of $12.4 million or 6.0% of sales. This is a decrease of $2.0 million from the same period a year ago, which was primarily driven by lower gross profit margins, partially offset by net margins of $2.6 million generated from 2024 acquisitions.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue increased $14.4 million, or 12.4%, to $130.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $116.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by increased sales in the renewable energy, aerospace and defense and industrial power vertical markets of $5.7 million, $4.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and additional revenue generated from the 2024 acquisition of TCR of $1.2 million.

Gross profit increased $4.3 million to $40.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to gross profit of $36.6 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher revenue. Gexpro Services gross profit as a percent of revenue decreased to 31.3% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 31.6% in the prior year quarter as a result of a shift in sales toward lower margin profile projects.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses primarily relating to compensation, costs associated with supporting Gexpro Services’ service facilities, overhead expenses within finance, legal, human resources and information technology, and other costs required to operate Gexpro Services’ business.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million to $27.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $25.1 million in the prior year quarter primarily driven by investments to drive the increase in Gexpro Services’ revenue and increased expenses of $0.7 million driven by the 2024 acquisition of TCR.

Adjusted EBITDA

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, Gexpro Services generated Adjusted EBITDA of $17.8 million or 13.6% of sales. This is an increase of $1.4 million from the same period a year ago primarily driven by higher organic revenue, gross profit margin management and leveraging its Selling, general, and administrative expenses over a higher sales base.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue increased $20.9 million to $60.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $39.1 million in the third quarter of 2024 primarily driven by $20.1 million of additional revenue generated by the 2024 acquisition of Source Atlantic which was included for the full quarter of 2025 versus a partial quarter in 2024.

Gross profit increased $6.9 million to $19.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to gross profit of $12.6 million in the prior year quarter primarily from the inclusion of additional gross profit of $6.9 million from the 2024 acquisition of Source Atlantic. Gross profit as a percent of revenue increased to 32.5% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 32.1% in the prior year quarter primarily due to an increase in the gross profit margin profile of Source Atlantic as a result of executing on acquisition related synergy plans and lower inventory step up amortization of $0.7 million from the Source Atlantic acquisition.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for Canada Branch Division consist of compensation, expenses to operate its distribution network and branch locations and overhead expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.0 million to $16.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $10.0 million in the prior year quarter. Approximately $5.9 million of the increased expenses was driven by the 2024 acquisition of Source Atlantic.

This is an increase of $1.8 million from the same period a year ago, primarily driven by approximately $1.8 million of adjusted EBITDA generated by the 2024 acquisition of Source Atlantic.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to lower outstanding borrowings.

Change in Fair Value of Earnout Liabilities

The $0.9 million expense in the third quarter of 2024 related to the change in fair value of the earnout liabilities associated with the Frontier acquisition.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net consists of effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income, net and other non-operating income and expenditures. The $1.3 million change in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 is primarily due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense was $1.9 million, a 23.0% effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to an income tax benefit of $19.0 million and a (652.3)% effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The change in the year-over-year effective tax rate was primarily due to a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation on deferred tax assets, state taxes and foreign income. The income tax expense recorded in the third quarter of 2025 is based on the estimated year-end effective tax rate. Limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and other permanent items on a nominal pre-tax income amount drove the higher effective tax rate in 2024.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue increased $9.1 million, or 2.5%, to $366.3 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to revenue of $357.3 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $15.6 million of additional revenue generated from the acquisitions completed in 2024, partially offset by a decline in military customer sales of $5.4 million.

Gross profit increased $6.3 million to $203.1 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to gross profit of $196.8 million in the same period of 2024 primarily as a result of the inclusion of $8.5 million of additional gross profit from the acquisitions completed in 2024 partially offset by lower revenue for legacy Lawson. Lawson gross profit as a percent of revenue was 55.5% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 55.1% in the prior year period. The gross profit margin percentage increase was primarily the result of the lower amortization of the fair value step-up of inventory of $1.1 million related to the S&S Automotive Transaction, lower write-offs of obsolete and excess inventory and increased prices. This was partially offset by increased vendor costs and higher tariff rates on inbound freight and lower gross profit margin profile on revenue generated by the 2024 acquisitions compared to Lawson’s organic profile.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation and support for Lawson sales representatives as well as expenses to operate Lawson’s distribution network and overhead expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.4 million to $183.5 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $185.8 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in severance expense, merger and acquisition expenses and stock based compensation of $2.9 million, $6.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $3.8 million of additional expense generated by the acquisitions completed in 2024, higher employee related costs of $1.9 million and higher depreciation and amortization expense of $1.8 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Lawson generated Adjusted EBITDA of $44.0 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 3.1% from the same period a year ago primarily driven by lower net margins on lower organic revenue and higher selling, general and administrative expenses primarily from higher employee related costs, partially offset by additional contributions of approximately $3.7 million generated by the acquisitions completed in 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, TestEquity generated Adjusted EBITDA of $38.6 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 6.8%, from the same period a year ago primarily driven by lower gross margins partially offset by net margins of $6.3 million generated from the 2024 acquisition of ConRes TE.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $2.6 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 primarily due to higher outstanding borrowings related to the 2024 acquisitions of S&S Automotive, Source Atlantic, TCR and ConRes TE.

Change in Fair Value of Earnout Liabilities

The increase of $0.1 million in expense in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 related to the change in fair value of the earnout liabilities associated with the Frontier acquisition.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net consists of effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income, net and other non-operating income and expenditures. The $1.5 million change in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 is primarily due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and lower interest income.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense was $11.0 million, a 42.9% effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2025 compared to an income tax benefit of $23.3 million and a 498.1% effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024. The change in the year-over-year effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation on deferred tax assets. Limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and other permanent items on a nominal pre-tax income amount drove the higher effective tax rate in 2024.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents were $69.2 million on September 30, 2025 compared to $66.5 million on December 31, 2024.

The Company believes its current balances of cash and cash equivalents, availability under its Amended Credit Agreement and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $69.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $252.7 million of borrowing availability remaining, net of outstanding letters of credit, under the Amended Credit Agreement.
Our primary short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs are to finance operating expenses, working capital, capital expenditures, potential business acquisitions, strategic initiatives and general corporate purposes. Our current debt obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement mature in April 2027. Required principal payments on the Amended Credit Agreement for the next twelve months are $40.3 million. Refer to Note 9 – Debt within Item 1. Financial Statements for additional information related to our debt obligations. Access to debt capital markets has historically provided the Company with sources of liquidity, beyond normal operating cash flows. We do not currently anticipate having difficulty in obtaining financing from those markets in the future, however, we cannot provide assurance that unforeseen events or events beyond our control (such as a potential tightening of debt capital markets, including in response to the implementations of new tariffs as part of the U.S. trade policy and any reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs thereto) will not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.

(“Hisco”) in connection with the Company’s 2023 acquisition of Hisco and investments in trade working capital and other net cash flow items.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $20.5 million, primarily due to purchases of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment, partially offset by the sale of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $205.4 million, primarily due to the purchase of ESS, S&S Automotive and Source Atlantic, as well as purchases of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment which was partially offset by the sale of rental equipment.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $48.4 million primarily due to principal payments on the term loans and repurchases of DSG common stock under the repurchase program.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $171.9 million primarily due to borrowings under the Company’s credit facility partially offset by principal payments on the term loan. In conjunction with the Source Atlantic Transaction on August 14, 2024, the Company borrowed $200 million under an incremental term loan facility under the Amended Credit Agreement. During the first nine months of 2024, deferred financing costs of $2.1 million were incurred related to the Amended Credit Agreement.

Financing and Capital Requirements

Credit Facility

As amended, the Amended Credit Agreement includes a $255 million senior secured revolving credit facility, a $250 million senior secured initial term loan facility, $505 million of incremental term loans, and a $50 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility and permits the Company to increase the commitments under the credit facility from time to time by up to $300 million in the aggregate, subject to, among other things, receipt of additional commitments from existing and/or new lenders and pro forma compliance with certain financial covenants. Refer to Note 9 – Debt within Item 1. Financial Statements for a description of the Amended Credit Agreement.

On September 30, 2025, we had $711.6 million in outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement and $252.7 million of borrowing availability remaining, net of outstanding letters of credit, under the senior secured revolving credit facility component.

As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our Amended Credit Agreement. While we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of September 30, 2025, failure to meet the covenant requirements of the Amended Credit Agreement in future quarters could lead to higher financing costs and increased restrictions, reduce or eliminate our ability to borrow funds, or accelerate the payment of our indebtedness and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Purchase Commitments

As of September 30, 2025, we had contractual commitments to purchase approximately $199.3 million of products from our suppliers and contractors over the next twelve months.

Capital Expenditures

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total net capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and rental equipment were $18.3 million including proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment. The Company expects to spend approximately $22.0 million to $25.0 million for net capital expenditures during the full fiscal 2025 year to support ongoing operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to our floating rate long-term debt obligations. Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. These risks are highly sensitive to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control.

The loans under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 0.0% to 1.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the CORRA Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 9 – Debt within Item 1. Financial Statements for information about the Amended Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2025, 100% of our debt was floating rate debt. A hypothetical increase/decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would increase/decrease our annual interest expense by approximately $7.1 million. We have not entered into, and currently do not intend to enter into, interest rate swaps or other derivative financial instruments to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

General Risks

51


Table of Contents
Enhanced tariffs, changes in trade policies and import and export regulations of the U.S. and foreign governments may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our cost of goods, which may result in lower operating margins.

There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and various other countries with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs and taxes. For example, the U.S. presidential administration has threatened or imposed new or increased tariffs on imports from various countries, including China, Mexico and Canada. These actions have and are expected to continue to result in retaliatory measures on U.S. goods. If maintained, the tariffs and the potential escalation of trade disputes could pose a significant risk to our business and if we are unable to fully pass any such increased prices and costs through to our customers or to modify our activities, the impact could have an adverse effect on our gross profit margins and financial condition. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, including negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets. Further, actions we take to adapt to new tariffs or trade restrictions may cause us to modify our operations or forgo business opportunities. Likewise, tariffs and import and export regulations could also limit the availability of our products, prompt our customers to seek alternative products and provide an opportunity for competitors not subject to such tariffs to establish a presence in markets where we conduct our business.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The Company did not make any unregistered sales of its equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The Board of Directors previously authorized a stock repurchase program that permits the Company to repurchase DSG common stock from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or by other methods. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date. There were no repurchases of any shares of DSG common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as such terms are defined under Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
