Second Quarter 2022 financial highlights:

• Net income for the second quarter was $14.4 million, compared to $8.1 million for the corresponding prior-year period.
• Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges (Adjusted EBITDA) for the second quarter of 2022 was $32.6 million compared to $28.3 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $22.7 million for the second quarter of 2021.

David R. Little, Chairman and CEO remarked, "Our second quarter financial results reflect broad based strength across DXP. We are pleased with our sequential and year-over-year sales growth and continual strength in EBITDA margins. We have underlying business momentum while our industry continues to effectively manage through inflationary pressures. This resulted in operating leverage that produced earnings per share of $0.74. DXP's second quarter 2022 sales were $367.8 million, or a 28.7 percent increase over the second quarter of 2021. Organic sales for the quarter were $346.5 million and acquisitions contributed $21.3 million in sales. Adjusted EBITDA grew 43.8 percent.

During the second quarter, sales were $251.1 million for Service Centers, $57.8 million for Innovative Pumping Solutions and $58.9 million for Supply Chain Services. While the macro-environment continues to remain dynamic, we still see a strong second half of 2022 with good demand trends, acquisitions and strategic initiatives that will allow us to finish 2022 strong and position us for a better 2023. Thank you to all our customers and DXPeople."

Kent Yee, CFO, remarked, "We are pleased that we achieved diluted EPS of $0.74, with 80.5 percent year-over-year growth and Adjusted EBITDA of $32.6 million for the second quarter. Our second quarter year-over-year and sequential financial results continue to reflect the growth we have been experiencing over the last four quarters and reflect our financial goals to grow organically and through acquisition while diversifying our end market and business model exposure. Total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2022 was $354.2 million . DXP's secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA ratio was 3.1:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $106.7 million for the last twelve months ending June 30, 2022. We expect to finish 2022 with strong momentum."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

DXP supplements reporting of net income with non-GAAP measurements, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, non-GAAP net income 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, free cash flow and non-GAAP net income 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. 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 company shares, and for certain other activities.
