DXP ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

DXP Enterprises, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (collectively "DXP," "Company," "us," "we," or "our") was incorporated in Texas on July 26, 1996. DXP Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of distributing maintenance, repair and operating ("MRO") products and services to a variety of end markets and industrial customers. Additionally, DXP provides integrated, custom pump skid packages, pump remanufacturing and manufactures branded private label pumps to energy and industrial customers. The Company is organized into three business segments: Service Centers ("SC"), Supply Chain Services ("SCS") and Innovative Pumping Solutions ("IPS"). See Note 11 - Segment Reporting for discussion of the business segments.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. For a more complete discussion of our significant accounting policies and business practices, refer to the consolidated Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2023. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 3 - RECENT ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and is evaluating any that may impact its financial statements, including the new Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers standard. The Company does not have any acquisitions during the current period and does not believe the new accounting pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations for recent acquisitions..

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet effective, are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. Fair value, as defined in the authoritative guidance, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance affects the fair value measurement of an investment with quoted market prices in an active market for identical instruments, which must be classified in one of the following categories:

Level 1 inputs come from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability. These inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability which require the Company's own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Our acquisitions may include contingent consideration as part of the purchase price. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the contingent payments to be made using a weighted probability of possible payments. The unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of the contingent consideration include management's assumptions about the likelihood of payment based on the established benchmarks, discount rates, and an internal rate of return analysis. The fair value measurement includes inputs that are Level 3 inputs as discussed above, as they are not observable in the market. Should actual results increase or decrease as compared to the assumptions used in our analysis, the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations will increase or decrease, up to the contracted limit, as applicable. Changes in the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration are measured each reporting period and reflected in our results of operations.

As of March 31, 2023, we recorded liabilities in other current and long-term liabilities for contingent consideration associated with the acquisitions of Process Machinery, Inc. ("PMI"), Burlingame Engineers, Inc. ("Burlingame"), Drydon Equipment, Inc. ("Drydon"), Cisco Air Systems, Inc. ("Cisco") and Sullivan Environmental Technologies, Inc. ("Sullivan") of $1.2 million, $0.5 million, $2.8 million, $4.8 million, and $1.2 million, respectively. For the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each category therein, and gains or losses recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023:


Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
	Contingent Liability for Accrued Consideration
	(in thousands)
*Beginning balance at December 31, 2022	$	10,166




Changes in fair value recorded in other (income) expense, net	342
*Ending Balance at March 31, 2023	$	10,508

Total losses included in earnings or changes to net assets, attributable to changes in unrealized losses relating to liabilities still held at March 31, 2023.	$	342

*Amounts included in other current liabilities were $5.7 million and $5.5 million for the periods ending March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amounts included in long-term liabilities were $4.8 million and $4.7 million for the periods ending March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's contingent consideration liabilities designated as Level 3 are as follows:


(in thousands, unaudited)	Fair value at March 31, 2023		Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Inputs
Contingent consideration: (PMI, Burlingame, Drydon, Cisco and Sullivan acquisitions)	$	10,508	Discounted cash flow and weighted probability of possible payments	Annualized EBITDA and probability of achievement

Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs

As presented in the table above, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of PMI, Burlingame, Drydon, Cisco and Sullivan are annualized EBITDA forecasts developed by the Company's management and the probability of achievement of those EBITDA results. The discount rate used in the calculation was 8.1 percent. Changes in our unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a change to our fair value measurement.

Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, but which require disclosure of their fair values include: cash, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related benefits, and the revolving line of credit and term loan debt under our syndicated credit agreement facility (Note 8). The Company believes that the estimated fair value of such instruments at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 approximates their carrying value as reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 5 – INVENTORIES

The carrying values of inventories are as follows (in thousands):


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Finished goods	$	106,039	$	82,906
Work in process	3,364		18,486
Inventories	$	109,403	$	101,392

NOTE 6 – CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Under our customized pump production and long-term water and wastewater project contracts in our IPS segment, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units, or completion of a contract. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. Our contract assets are presented as “Cost and estimated profits in excess of billings” on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, we sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities that are presented as “Billings in excess of costs and estimated profits” on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Costs and estimated profits on uncompleted contracts and related amounts billed were as follows (in thousands):


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts	$	94,100	$	70,329
Estimated profits, thereon	28,096		23,274
Total costs and estimated profits on uncompleted contracts	122,196		93,603
Less: billings to date	90,412		80,421
Net	$	31,784	$	13,182

Such amounts were included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 under the following captions (in thousands):


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Costs and estimated profits in excess of billings	$	41,967	$	23,588
Billings in excess of costs and estimated profits	(10,183)		(10,411)
Translation adjustment	—		5
Net	$	31,784	$	13,182

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $9.7 million of the balances that were previously classified as contract liabilities at the beginning of the period were recognized in revenues. Contract asset and liability changes were primarily due to normal activity and timing differences between our performance and customer payments.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any discrete items, which are recorded in the period in which they occur. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was a tax expense of 27.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a tax expense of 21.0 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023, the effective tax rate was increased by state taxes, foreign taxes, nondeductible expenses, and uncertain tax positions recorded for research and development tax credits and was partially offset by research and development tax credits and other tax credits.

To the extent penalties and interest would be assessed on any underpayment of income tax, such accrued amounts would be classified as a component of income tax provision (benefit) in the financial statements consistent with the Company’s policy.

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEBT

The components of the Company's long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):


	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Carrying Value (1)		Fair Value		Carrying Value (1)		Fair Value
ABL Revolver	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
Term Loan B	427,041		407,824		428,133		411,008
Total long-term debt	427,041		407,824		428,133		411,008
Less: current portion	(4,369)		(4,172)		(4,369)		(4,194)
Long-term debt less current maturities	$	422,672	$	403,652	$	423,764	$	406,814

(1) Carrying value amounts do not include unamortized debt issuance costs of $13.9 million and $14.6 million for March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Credit Agreements

On July 19, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) that provided for a $135.0 million asset-backed revolving line of credit (the "ABL Revolver"). The ABL Credit Agreement amends and restates the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 29, 2017. Subject to the conditions set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement, the ABL Revolver may be increased by up to an aggregate of $50.0 million, in minimum increments of $10.0 million. The ABL Revolver matures on July 19, 2027. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Revolver. Total borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolver was $132.4 million, net of the letters of credit outstanding.

On November 22, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing $330 million Senior Secured Term Loan (the "Term Loan Amendment"), borrowing an additional $105 million that was added to the existing $330 million Senior Secured Term Loan (the “Term Loan Agreement”). As of March 31, 2023 there was $427.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the ABL Revolver and Term Loan B Agreements as of March 31, 2023.

CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

General

DXP Enterprises, Inc. is a business-to-business distributor of MRO products and services to a variety of customers in different end markets primarily across North America. Additionally, we fabricate, remanufacture and assemble custom pump packages along with manufacturing branded private label pumps.

Inflation Reduction Act

In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) was signed into United States (U.S.) law. The IRA establishes a new 15% corporate minimum tax and a new 1% excise tax on stock repurchases, effective after December 31, 2022. In addition, the IRA contains provisions relating to climate change, energy and health care. Based on the Company's current analysis of the provisions, the Company does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of the IRA.

Inflation

The global commodity and labor markets experienced significant inflationary pressures attributable to economic recovery and supply chain issues tightening caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukrainian-Russia conflict, among other factors. These inflationary trends increased the cost of many of the products we buy. As a distributor, we often remain neutral to inflation as those costs are generally passed on to customers. The Company was able to pass price increases on to customers and implement other strategies designed to mitigate some of the adverse effects of higher costs during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Outlook

Service Centers and Supply Chain Services Segments

The replacement and mission-critical nature of our products and services within the Company's Service Centers and Supply Chain Services business segments and industrial and manufacturing environments and processes drives a demand and outlook that are correlated with global, national and regional industrial production, capacity utilization and long-term GDP growth. The Company's recent order activity improved as markets strengthened. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had approximately $362.3 million in sales in our Service Centers and Supply Chain Services segments, an increase of approximately 36.0 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our performance has been strengthened by price increases from our vendors and suppliers that we typically pass through to our customers. During 2022 and into the first quarter of 2023 we have benefited from these price increases. As we move into the second quarter and second half of 2023, we expect the impact of these price increases to moderate.

Innovative Pumping Solutions Segment

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had approximately $62.0 million in sales in our Innovative Pumping Solutions segment, an increase of approximately $8.9 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, of which $3.3 million was associated with recent acquisitions in the water and wastewater markets. Beginning in the second half of 2021, we began to see an improvement in the demand for oil and natural gas as the roll out of the COVID-19 vaccinations gradually improved around the globe and pandemic restrictions eased. The increasing optimism related to oil and gas demand recovery led to higher commodity prices. Although demand levels remained below pre-pandemic levels, there is growing confidence of returning to 2019 levels in the coming years. In the first quarter of 2022, the Ukrainian-Russia conflict caused further disruption in the global oil and gas supply and spurred price increases around the world. These forces contributed to higher spending by oil and gas producers, and thus, an increase in oil and gas projects within our Innovative Pumping Solutions segment. We expect to benefit from the increased oil and gas activity throughout 2023. Additionally, we expect to benefit from the recent water and wastewater acquisitions as we continue to scale this platform both organically and by positioning DXP Water to bid on projects that historically may have not been available to the separate acquisitions on a standalone basis.
