ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the audited consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and other information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the Lawson Products, Inc. unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022.
References 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.
Overview
Organization and Structure
Distribution Solutions Group, Inc. ("DSG"), is a multi-platform specialty distribution company providing high touch, value-added distribution solutions to the maintenance, repair and operations ("MRO"), the original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") and the industrial technologies markets. The Mergers that were consummated on April 1, 2022 resulted in the combination of Lawson, TestEquity and Gexpro Services. For a description of the Mergers, see Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation within Item 1. Financial Statements.
We manage and report our operating results through three reportable segments: Lawson, TestEquity and Gexpro Services. A summary of our segments is presented below. For additional details about our segments, see Note 16 – Segment Information within Item 1. Financial Statements.
Lawson is a distributor of specialty products and services to the industrial, commercial, institutional and government MRO market.
TestEquity is a distributor of test and measurement equipment and solutions, industrial and electronic production supplies, vendor managed inventory programs, converting, fabrication and adhesive solutions from its leading manufacturer partners supporting the technology, aerospace, defense, automotive, electronics, education, automotive and medical industries.
Gexpro Services is a global supply chain solutions provider, specializing in developing and implementing vendor managed inventory ("VMI") and kitting programs to high-specification manufacturing customers.
In addition to these three 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 and the results of a non-reportable segment.
Recent Events
HIS Company, Inc. Acquisition
On June 8, 2023, DSG acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Hisco, a distributor of specialty products serving industrial technology applications, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated March 30, 2023. The total purchase consideration exchanged for the Hisco Transaction was $270.4 million, net of cash, with a potential additional earn-out payment subject to Hisco achieving certain performance targets. DSG will also pay $37.5 million in cash or DSG common stock in retention bonuses to certain Hisco employees that remain employed with Hisco or its affiliates for at least twelve months after the closing of the Hisco Transaction.
In connection with the Hisco Transaction, DSG combined the operations of TestEquity and Hisco, creating one of the largest suppliers serving the electronics design, production, and repair industries. Accordingly, Hisco results are included in the TestEquity reportable segment.
DSG funded the Hisco Transaction using a combination of borrowings under its 2023 Credit Agreement and proceeds raised from the Rights Offering, both discussed below. Refer to Note 3 – Business Acquisitions for further details about the Hisco Transaction.

Debt Amendment
On June 8, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2022 (as amended by the First Amendment, the “2023 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 First Amendment provides for a $305 million incremental term loan. Refer to Note 9 – Debt for additional information about the 2023 Credit Agreement.
Rights Offering
On May 30, 2023, the Company raised approximately $100 million pursuant to a Rights Offering of transferable subscription rights to holders of DSG common stock as of the close of business on May 1, 2023. Refer to Note 11 – Stockholders' Equity for additional information about the Rights Offering.
DSG Vision and Strategic Focus
The complementary distribution operations of Lawson, TestEquity and Gexpro Services were combined in 2022 for the purpose of creating a specialty distribution company enabling each of Lawson, TestEquity and Gexpro Services to maintain their respective high-touch, value-added service delivery models and customer relationships in their specialty distribution businesses under the leadership of their separate business unit management teams. The DSG leadership team provides oversight to these separate leadership teams. This structure helps the combined company to leverage best practices, back-office resources and technologies across the three operating companies to help drive cost synergies and efficiencies. The combined company has the ability to utilize its combined financial resources to accelerate a strategy of expansion through both business acquisitions and organic growth.
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 customer bases 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 wa s 46.9 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 56.3 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 .
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 is expanding its inside sales team to help drive field sales representative productivity and also utilizes an e-commerce site to generate sales.

TestEquity Sales Drivers
Across the test and measurement, industrial and electronic production supplies businesses, the North American market is highly fragmented with competitors ranging from large global distributors to national and regional distributors.
TestEquity management focuses on the internal metric of Sales per Day (“SPD”) and Day Adjust Growth (“DAG”). The SPD calculates and compares TestEquity’s total sales divided by the number of selling days, adjusted for weekends and holidays. A selling day generally represents a business day in which TestEquity ships products to its customers. The DAG represents the percentage increase or decrease in the SPD for a defined period of time.
Specifically in respect of its electronic production supplies business, the current semi-conductor chip shortage is negatively impacting TestEquity’s business as such chips are key elements to the electronic production process. TestEquity anticipates that recovery of this important part of its customers’ supply chain will occur in late 2023 and early 2024.
Through the Hisco Transaction, TestEquity will expand its product offerings, including adhesives, chemicals and tapes as well as specialty materials such as electrostatic discharge, thermal management materials and static shielding bags. Hisco operates in 38 locations across North America, including its Precision Converting facilities that provide value-added fabrication and its Adhesive Materials Group that provides an array of custom repackaging solutions. Hisco also offers vendor-managed inventory and RFID programs with specialized warehousing for chemical management, logistics services and cold storage.
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 drives revenue through increasing wallet share with existing customers, customer-led geographic expansion, and new customer development in its six key vertical markets. Additionally, Gexpro Services drives revenue through expansion of its installation and aftermarket services by leveraging its portfolio of recent acquisitions.
Supply Chain Disruptions
Along with the broader economy, we continue to be affected by rising supplier costs caused by inflation and increased transportation and labor costs . This results in challenges in acquiring and receiving inventory in a timely fashion and fulfilling customer orders . We have instituted various price increases during 2022 and 2023 in response to rising supplier costs, as well as increased transportation and labor costs in order to manage our gross profit margins.
Cyber Incident Litigation
On February 10, 2022, DSG disclosed that Lawson Products' computer network was the subject of a cyber incident potentially involving unauthorized access to certain confidential information (the “Cyber Incident”). DSG engaged a cybersecurity forensics firm to assist in the investigation of the incident and to assist in securing its computer network.
Because of the nature of the information that may have been compromised, DSG was required to notify the parties whose information was potentially compromised of the incident as well as various governmental agencies and has taken other actions, such as offering credit monitoring services. At June 30, 2023 DSG, had not incurred material costs as a result of the Cyber Incident and, at this time, is unable to estimate the total cost of any remediation that may be required. On April 4, 2023, a putative class action lawsuit (the “Cyber Incident Suit”) was filed against DSG. For more information about the Cyber Incident Suit, please refer to Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies within Item 1. Financial Statements.
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, 2022. 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.

Table of Contents
Inventory Reserves - Inventories principally consist of finished products stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in-first-out method for the Lawson segment and primarily the weighted average method for the TestEquity and Gexpro Services segments. Most of our products are not exposed to the risk of obsolescence due to technology changes. However, some of our products do have a limited shelf life, and from time to time we add and remove items from our catalogs, brochures or website for marketing and other purposes.
To reduce the cost basis of inventory to a lower of cost or net realizable value, a reserve is recorded for slow-moving and obsolete inventory based on historical experience and monitoring of current inventory activity. Estimates are used to determine the necessity of recording these reserves based on periodic detailed analysis using both qualitative and quantitative factors. As part of this analysis, the Company considers several factors including the inventories length of time on hand, historical sales, product shelf life, product life cycle, product category and product obsolescence. In general, depending on the product category, we reserve inventory with low turnover at higher rates than inventory with higher turnover.
At June 30, 2023, our inventory reserve was $13.6 million, equal to approximately 4.0% of our gross inventory. A hypothetical change of one hundred basis points to our reserve as a percentage of total inventory would have affected our cost of goods sold by $3.4 million.
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; 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 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not directly comparable to prior results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the Mergers that were completed on April 1, 2022. The Mergers were accounted for as a reverse merger under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for reverse acquisitions as provided in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). Under this guidance, TestEquity and Gexpro Services were treated as a combined entity as the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes, and DSG was identified as the accounting acquiree. This determination was primarily made as TestEquity and Gexpro Services were under the common control of an entity that owns a majority of the voting rights of the combined entity, and therefore, only DSG experienced a change in control. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022 reflect the results of operations of TestEquity and Gexpro Services on a consolidated basis, and the results of operations of DSG's legacy Lawson business are only included subsequent to the April 1, 2022 Merger Date. The combined operations of all three entities are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the three months ended June 30, 2022.
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. We define Adjusted EBITDA as operating income plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, severance costs, costs related to the execution and integration of the Mergers, amortization of fair value step-up resulting from the Mergers, acquisition related costs (unrelated to the Mergers), and other non-recurring items. The following table provides our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenue increased $11.8 million, or 11.0%, to $119.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $107.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 . The increase was primarily driven by the realization of price increases enacted throughout 2022 and 2023 to offset rising supplier costs, increased quantity volumes and strengthening sales to Lawson's strategic and governmental customers and automotive end market.
Gross profit increased $9.6 million to $66.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to gross profit of $56.8 million in the prior year quarter primarily as a result of increased sales, price increases, lower net freight expense and spreading operating expenses over a higher level of sales. Lawson gross profit as a percent of revenue was 55.7% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 52.9% in the prior year quarter. The gross profit margin percentage improvement for the second quarter of 2023 was primarily the result of price increases and leveraging operating costs over a higher sales base. The prior year quarter was negatively impacted by increased supplier costs from inflation and supply chain disruptions, and a sales shift toward lower margin customers.
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 $1.4 million to $57.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $59.3 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by lower stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs and legal expenses, partially offset by higher compensation expense incurred to support increased sales and health insurance costs.
Adjusted EBITDA
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, Lawson generated Adjusted EBITDA of $16.1 million , an increase of $6.7 million , or 70.9% from the same period a year ago primarily driven by increased revenue and margins and lower Selling, general and administrative expenses .

Revenue increased $38.2 million, or 39.0%, to $136.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $97.9 million in the second quarter of 2022 . The increase was primarily driven by $43.4 million of revenue generated from acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2022 offset by a $5.2 million decline in legacy TestEquity revenue due to a slowdown in the test and measurement market, primarily caused by tightening of capital budgets in TestEquity's customer base.
Gross profit increased $8.4 million to $31.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to gross profit of $22.8 million in the prior year quarter primarily as a result of the inclusion of the acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2022, which generated $11.1 million of additional gross profit in the second quarter of 2023. TestEquity gross profit as a percent of revenue was 23.0% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 23.3% in the prior year quarter. The slight gross profit margin percentage decline for t he second quarter of 2023 was due to the amortization of the fair value step-up of inventory of $0.7 million related to the Hisco Transaction .
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 $12.1 million to $34.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $22.3 million in the prior year quarter. Approximately $10.4 million of the increased expenses was primarily driven by the acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2022 and approximately $2.1 million of the increased expenses was driven by increased acquisition expenses in the second quarter of 2023 of $4.1 million in connection with the Hisco Transaction compared to $2.0 million of merger and acquisition expenses in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, TestEquity generated Adjusted EBITDA of $9.5 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 9.8% from the same period a year ago with approximately $3.0 million driven by the acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2022, offset by a reduction of $2.2 million in legacy TestEquity due to the decline in revenue.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents were $44.2 million on June 30, 2023 compared to $24.6 million on December 31, 2022.
The Company believes its current balances of cash and cash equivalents, availability under its 2023 Credit Agreement and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2023, liquidity for the Company was $233.8 million comprised of $44.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $189.6 million of bo rrowing availability remaining, net of outstanding letters of credit, under the 2023 Credit Agreement.
On June 2, 2023, the Company raised approximately $100 million from the Rights Offering, in which 2,222,222 shares of DSG common stock were sold at a purchase price of $45.00 per share. On June 8, 2023, the Company borrowed the $305.0 million under the incremental term loan of the 2023 Credit Agreement. The Company used these combined proceeds primarily to fund the Hisco Transaction and to pay down its revolving credit facility.
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 2023 Credit Agreement mature in April 2027. Principal payments on the 2023 Credit Agreement for the next twelve months are $30.3 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.
