Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DXP Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, because of the effects of the material weaknesses described below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Table of Contents
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment in Item 9A:
a. The Company did not design and maintain effective internal controls to ensure that aged items recorded in the un-invoiced inventory accounts payable are monitored, addressed and cleared in a timely manner.
b. The Company did not design and maintain effective management review controls to ensure the proper application of generally accepted accounting principles (ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ) related to the percentage-of-completion method, an input method as defined by ASC 606, of recognizing revenue from contracts with customers.
These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2021 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report on those consolidated financial statements.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Table of Contents
Revenue Recognition – Revenue Recognized Over Time
As discussed in Note 2 and Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers in its Innovative Pumping Solutions segment under the percentage-of-completion method, an input method as defined by ASC 606. For these transactions, revenue is recognized over time based on cost incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated cost.
We identified revenue recognized over time as a critical audit matter based on the manual and subjective nature of the Company determining estimated costs to complete, as well as insufficient internal policies, procedures, and software. Evaluating revenue recognized over time under the percentage-of-completion method required extensive audit effort and a high degree of auditor judgment.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
a. Understanding the design and effectiveness of internal controls around management’s review of the schedule of contracts and related contract progress;
b. Testing the calculation of revenue recognized over time through an examination of billings, cash collections, costs incurred, and other related components;
c. Sampling contracts with customers, including confirming contract and progress details with project managers; and,
d. Evaluating management’s expected costs to be incurred on projects for reasonableness by performing a retrospective analysis.

DXP ENTERPRISES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO 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 service to customers serving a variety of end markets. 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 21 - Segment and Geographical 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its variable interest entity (“VIE”).
DXP is the primary beneficiary of a VIE in which DXP owns 47.5 % of the equity. DXP consolidates the financial statements of the VIE with the financial statements of DXP. As of December 31, 2021, the total assets of the VIE were approximately $ 3.5 million including approximately $ 2.8 million of fixed assets. DXP is the primary customer of the VIE. Consolidation of the VIE increased cost of sales by approximately $ 1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and decreased cost of sales by approximately $ 0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company recognized a related income tax benefit of $ 150 thousand and $ 116 thousand related to the VIE for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the owners of the 52.5 % of the equity not owned by DXP included employees of DXP.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency
The financial statements of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries are measured using local currencies as their functional currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses on transactions denominated in foreign currency are reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company places its cash with institutions with high credit quality. However, at certain times, such cash may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company has not historically experienced any losses when in excess of these limits.
Receivables and Credit Risk
Trade receivables consist primarily of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, which usually require payment within 30 days of the invoice date. However, these payment terms are extended in select cases and customers may not pay within stated trade terms.
51
Table of Contents
The Company has trade receivables from a diversified customer base located primarily in the Rocky Mountain, Northeastern, Midwestern, Southeastern and Southwestern regions of the United States and Canada. The Company believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers' financial positions and monitors accounts on a regular basis. Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made monthly and adjustments are made periodically (as circumstances warrant) based upon management’s best estimate of the collectability of such accounts under the current expected credit losses model. The Company writes-off uncollectible trade accounts receivable when the accounts are determined to be uncollectible. No customer represents more than 10% of consolidated sales.
Changes in this allowance for 2021, 2020 and 2019 were as follows ( in thousands ):
Years Ended December 31,
2021 2020 2019
Balance at beginning of year $ 8,628 $ 8,929 $ 10,126

Balance at end of year $ 7,759 $ 8,628 $ 8,929
(1) Primarily due to translation adjustments
(2) Uncollectible accounts written off, net of recoveries
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of equipment purchased for resale or finished goods and are priced at net realizable value, cost being primarily determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company regularly reviews inventory to evaluate continued demand and records provisions for the difference between cost and net realizable value arising from excess and obsolete items on hand. Provisions are provided against inventories for estimated excess and obsolescence based upon the aging of the inventories and market trends and are applied as a reduction in cost of the associated inventory.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded on a historical cost basis. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs of depreciable assets are charged against earnings as incurred. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and gains or losses are credited or charged to earnings. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset (group) might not be
recoverable.
The principal estimated useful lives used in determining depreciation are as follows:
Buildings 20 - 39 years
Building improvements 10 - 20 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 - 20 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of estimated useful life or related lease term
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company tests goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company assigns the carrying value of these intangible assets to its "reporting units" and applies the test for goodwill at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below a segment (a "component") if the component is a business and discrete information is prepared and reviewed regularly by segment management.
The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment first permits evaluating qualitative factors to determine if a reporting unit's carrying value would more likely than not exceed its fair value. If the Company concludes, based on the qualitative assessment, that a reporting unit's carrying value would more likely than not exceed its fair value, the Company would perform a quantitative test for that reporting unit. Should the reporting unit's carrying amount exceed the fair value, then an impairment charge for the excess would be recognized. The impairment charge is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit, and goodwill will not be reduced below zero. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, goodwill was

evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level resulting in a $ 36.4 million goodwill impairment which was included in impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations. No impairment of goodwill was required in 2021 and 2019.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill
The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, long-lived assets were evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level resulting in a $ 4.8 million long-lived assets impairment which was included in impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations. No impairment of long-lived assets was required in 2021 and 2019.
Revenue Recognition
The Company fabricates and assembles custom-made pump packages, remanufactures pumps and manufactures branded private label pumps within our Innovative Pumping Solutions segment. For binding agreements to fabricate tangible assets to customer specifications, the Company recognizes revenues over time when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits of the work performed. This typically occurs when the products have no alternative use for us and we have a right to payment for the work completed to date plus a reasonable profit margin. Contracts generally include cancellation provisions that require the customer to reimburse us for costs incurred through the date of cancellation. We recognize revenue for these contracts using the percentage of completion method, an "input method" as defined by ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Under this method, revenues are recognized as costs are incurred and include estimated profits calculated on the basis of the relationship between costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. If at any time expected costs exceed the value of the contract, the loss is recognized immediately. The typical time span of these contracts is approximately one to two years.
The Service Centers segment provides a wide range of maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products, equipment and integrated services, including logistics capabilities, to industrial customers. The Supply Chain Services segment also provides a wide range of MRO products as well as manages all or part of various customers' supply chain, including warehouse and inventory management services. Revenue is recognized upon the completion of our performance obligation(s) under the sales agreement. The majority of the Service Centers and Supply Chain Services segment revenues originate from the satisfaction of a single performance obligation, the delivery of products. Revenues are recognized when an agreement is in place, the performance obligations under the contract have been identified, and the price or consideration to be received is fixed and allocated to the performance obligation(s) in the contract. We believe our performance obligation has been satisfied when title passes to the customer or services have been rendered under the contract. Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes.
The Company reserves for potential customer returns based upon the historical level of returns.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company classifies shipping and handling charges billed to customers as sales. Shipping and handling charges paid to others are classified as a component of cost of sales.

Table of Contents
Self-insured Insurance and Medical Claims
We generally retain up to $ 100,000 of risk for each claim for workers compensation, general liability, automobile and property loss. We accrue for the estimated loss on the self-insured portion of these claims. The accrual is adjusted quarterly based upon reported claims information. The actual cost could deviate from the recorded estimate.
We generally retain up to $ 175,000 of risk on each medical claim for our employees and their dependents with the exception of less than 0.05 % of employees where a higher risk is retained. We accrue for the estimated outstanding balance of unpaid medical claims for our employees and their dependents. The accrual is adjusted monthly based on recent claims experience. The actual claims could deviate from recent claims experience and be materially different from the reserve.
The accrual for these claims at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $ 2.8 million and $ 2.6 million, respectively.
Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Cost of sales includes product and product related costs, inbound freight charges, internal transfer costs and depreciation. Selling, general and administrative expense includes purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, depreciation and amortization.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized under a more likely than not criterion.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
A position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e. a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2018. The Company's policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company’s other comprehensive (loss) income is from translating foreign subsidiaries to the reporting currency.
NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting . This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on the financial statements.
54
Table of Contents
In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers , to address diversity in practice on how an acquirer should recognize and measure revenue contracts acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 will require an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets acquired and contract liabilities assumed in a business combination in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers .
For the Company, ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption of ASU 2021-08 is permitted, including in an interim period. The Company expects the new Standard to have an impact for future acquisitions. From time to time the Company does acquire businesses that perform project-based work and therefore include Contract Assets and Liabilities.
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 - LEASES
We lease office space, warehouses, land, automobiles, and office and manufacturing equipment. All of our leases are classified as operating leases. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 month to 9 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 14 years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Our lease agreements do not include options to purchase the leased property.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 842, "Leases" effective January 1, 2019. We elected to apply the current period transition approach as introduced by ASU 2018-11 for our transition at January 1, 2019 and we elected to apply the following practical expedients and accounting policy decisions. In January 2019, we recorded a ROU Asset and total lease liability obligations of $ 72.7 million and $ 72.4 million, respectively. The new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations and had no impact on cash flows.

NOTE 5 - 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:
56
Table of Contents
Level 1 Inputs
Level 1 inputs come from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs
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
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the 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 managements assumptions about the likelihood of payment based on the established benchmarks and discount rates based on 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 December 31, 2021, we recorded a $ 0.9 million liability for contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of PMI in other current and long-term liabilities. See further discussion at Note 17 - Business Acquisitions . 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2021:

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 December 31, 2021 Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Inputs
Contingent consideration: (PMI acquisition) $ 905 Discounted cash flow 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 acquisition of PMI 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 7.6 %. Significant increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significantly (lower) higher fair value measurement.
Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021 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 10 ). The Company believes that the estimated fair value of such instruments at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 approximates their carrying value as reported on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 7 – CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Under our customized pump production 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 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Costs and estimated profits on uncompleted contracts and related amounts billed for 2021 and 2020 were as follows ( in thousands ):

Asset-Based Loan Facility:
On March 17, 2020, the Company entered into an Increase Agreement (the "Increase Agreement") that provided for a $ 135 million asset-backed revolving line of credit (the "ABL Revolver") a $ 50 million increase from the $ 85.0 million available under the original revolver. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the amount available to be borrowed under our credit facility decreased to $ 131.7 million compared to $ 131.9 million at December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of outstanding letters of credit.
As of December 31, 2021, there were no amounts of ABL Loans outstanding under the ABL Revolver.
The Company's consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 2.74 to 1.00 as of December 31, 2021. DXP was in compliance with all such covenants that were in effect on such date under the ABL Revolver as of December 31, 2021.
The ABL Credit Agreement may be increased in increments of $ 10.0 million up to an aggregate of $ 50.0 million. The facility will mature on August 29, 2022. Interest accrues on outstanding borrowings at a rate equal to LIBOR or CDOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25 % to 1.75 % per annum, or at an alternate base rate, Canadian prime rate or Canadian base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25 % to 0.75 % per annum, in each case, based upon the average daily excess availability under the facility for the most recently completed calendar quarter. Fees ranging from 0.25 % to 0.375 % per annum are payable on the portion of the facility not in use at any given time. The unused line fee was 0.375 % at December 31, 2021.
The interest rate for the ABL facility was 1.9 % at December 31, 2021.
Term Loan B:
On December 23, 2020, DXP entered into a new seven year , $ 330 million Senior Secured Term Loan B (the “Term Loan B Agreement”), which replaced DXP’s previously existing Senior Secured Term Loan.
The Term Loan B Agreement provides for a new $ 330 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) that amortizes in equal quarterly installments of 0.25 % with the balance payable in December 2027, when the facility matures. Subject to securing additional lender commitments, the Term Loan B Agreement allows for incremental increases in facility size up to an aggregate of $ 52.5 million, plus an additional amount such that DXP’s Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan B Agreement) would not exceed 3.75 to 1.00. Interest accrues on the Term Loan at a rate equal to the base rate plus a margin of 3.75 % for the Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Term Loan B Agreement), or LIBOR plus a margin of 4.75 % for the Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the Term Loan B Agreement). We are required to repay the Term Loan with certain asset sales and insurance proceeds, certain debt proceeds and 50 % of excess cash flow, if our total leverage ratio is no more than 3.00 to 1.00 and greater than 2.50 to 1:00, reducing to 25 %, if our total leverage ratio is no more than 2.50 to 1.00.
The interest rate for the Term Loan was 5.75 % as of December 31, 2021.

Financial Covenants:
DXP’s principal financial covenants under the ABL Credit Agreement and Term Loan B Agreement include:
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio – The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio under the ABL Credit Agreement is defined as the ratio for the most recently completed four-fiscal quarter period, of (a) EBITDA minus capital expenditures (excluding those financed or funded with debt (other than the ABL Loans), (ii) the portion thereof funded with the net proceeds from asset dispositions of equipment or real property which DXP is permitted to reinvest pursuant to the Term Loan and the portion thereof funded with the net proceeds of casualty insurance or condemnation awards in respect of any equipment and real estate which DXP is not required to use to prepay the ABL Loans pursuant to the Term Loan B Agreement or with the proceeds of casualty insurance or condemnation awards in respect of any other property) minus cash taxes paid (net of cash tax refunds received during such period), to (b) fixed charges. The Company is restricted from allowing its fixed charge coverage ratio be less than 1.00 to 1.00 during a compliance period, which is triggered when the availability under the ABL facility falls below a threshold set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, the Company's consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 2.74 to 1.00.
Secured Leverage Ratio – The Term Loan B Agreement requires that the Company’s Secured Leverage Ratio, defined as the ratio, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of consolidated secured debt (net of unrestricted cash, not to exceed $ 150 million) as of such day to EBITDA, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, is either equal to or less than as indicated in the table below:

Extinguishment and modification of Previously Existing Credit Agreement
As set forth above, on December 23, 2020, the Company terminated its previously existing credit agreement and replaced it with a new Term Loan and Security Agreement. The terminated agreement was under the previous Term Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 29, 2017, by and among the Company, as borrower, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as issuing lender and administrative agent for other lenders (the “Original Credit Agreement”). This Original Credit Agreement was subsequently amended on June 25, 2018 (the “Original Term Loan Agreement”).
The refinancing of the term loan involved multiple lenders who were considered members of a loan syndicate. In determining whether the refinancing was to be accounted for as a debt extinguishment or modification, we considered whether the lenders remained the same or changed and whether the change in debt terms was substantial. The debt terms would be considered substantially different if the present value of the cash inflows and outflows of the new term loans, including all principal increases and lender fees on the refinancing date, was at least 10 % different from the present value of the remaining cash inflows and outflows of the original term loans, or the 10 % Test. We performed a separate 10 % Test for each individual lender participating in the loan syndication. For existing lenders who participated in the new term loans as part of the new loan syndicate, the refinancing was accounted for as a modification as the change in debt terms was determined to not be substantial using the 10 % Test.
Deferred financing costs of $ 3.0 million and an original issue discount of $ 4.1 million were associated with modified and new debt and will be amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the life of the term loans. In connection with the original lenders considered an extinguishment of the previously existing Term Loan and Security Agreement we recorded a $ 5.4 million write-off of debt issuance costs and third-party fees, which was included in interest expense during 2020.

The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future and in the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. If the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. At December 31, 2021, the valuation allowance primarily relates to federal and foreign capital loss carryforwards.

Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the preferred stock was converted into common stock. Restricted stock is considered a participating security and is included in the computation of basic earnings per share as if vested. The preferred stock is convertible into 840,000 shares of common stock. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, we excluded from the diluted EPS calculation 840,000 convertible preferred shares, respectively, since the effect would have been antidilutive.

The Company has completed a number of acquisitions and the purchases of the acquired businesses have resulted in the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtains the information used for the purchase price allocation during due diligence and through other sources. In the months after closing, as the Company obtains additional information about the acquired assets and liabilities and learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. The fair values of acquired intangibles are determined based on estimates and assumptions that are deemed reasonable by the Company. The Company from time-to-time engages third-party valuation specialists who review the Company’s critical assumptions and calculations of the fair value of acquired intangible assets in connection with significant acquisitions. Only facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. The Company is continuing to evaluate certain pre-acquisition contingencies associated with certain of its 2021 acquisitions. The Company will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.

The Company recognized less than $ 300,000 of acquisition related costs that were expensed in the current period. These costs are included in the consolidated income statement in Selling, General and Administrative costs. The Company also recognized an immaterial amount in costs associated with issuing the shares issued as consideration in the business combination. Those costs were deducted from the recognized proceeds of issuance within stockholders’ equity.
As third-party or internal valuations are finalized, certain tax aspects of the foregoing transactions are completed, and customer post-closing reviews are concluded, adjustments may be made to the fair value of assets acquired, and in some cases total purchase price, through the end of each measurement period, generally one year following the applicable acquisition date. Various insignificant adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired, and in some cases total purchase price, have been made to certain business combinations since the respective dates of acquisition. During twelve months ended December 31, 2021, we recorded measurement-period adjustments that increased goodwill by approximately $ 1.4 million, primarily for changes in the fair value of current assets. The impact of these adjustments to the consolidated statement of operations were immaterial.
Goodwill to be recognized in connection with these acquisitions is attributable to the synergies expected to be realized and improvements in the businesses after the acquisitions. Goodwill related to asset acquisitions is currently deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill related to stock acquisitions is capitalized to the stock basis of the acquisition for income tax purposes and is deductible upon disposition of the stock.
Contingent Consideration
The acquisition of PMI included a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid based on the achievement of annual gross revenue targets over a two-year period. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company may be required to pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between zero and $ 2.5 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $ 0.3 million was estimated by applying the income approach using discounted cash flows. That measure is based on significant Level 3 inputs not observable in the market. The significant assumption includes a discount rate of 7.6 %. Changes in the fair value measurement each period reflect the passage of time as well as the impact of adjustments, if any, to the likelihood of achieving the specified targets. The fair value measurement includes earnings forecasts which are a Level 3 measurement as discussed in Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities . The fair value of the contingent consideration is reviewed quarterly over the earn-out period to compare actual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") achieved to the estimated EBITDA used in our forecasts.
