The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") contains statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements include without limitation those about the Company’s expectations regarding the Company’s business, the Company’s future profitability, cash flow, liquidity, and growth.

Any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve significant risks and uncertainties, and actual results may vary materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements or historical performance as a result of various factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the effectiveness of management's strategies and decisions; our ability to implement our internal growth and acquisition growth strategies; general economic and business conditions specific to our primary customers; changes in government regulations; our ability to effectively integrate businesses we may acquire; new or modified statutory or regulatory requirements; availability of materials and labor; inability to obtain or delay in obtaining government or third-party approvals and permits; non-performance by third parties of their contractual obligations; unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response thereto; cyber-attacks adversely affecting our operations; other geological, operating and economic considerations and declining prices and market conditions, including reduced oil and gas prices and supply or demand for maintenance, repair and operating products, equipment and service; decreases in oil and natural gas industry capital expenditure levels, which may result from decreased oil and natural gas prices or other factors; our ability to manage changes and the continued health or availability of management personnel; and our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms or amend our credit facilities, as needed. This Report identifies other factors that could cause such differences. We cannot assure that these are all of the factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Risk Factors", in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 26, 2026.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results of operations as determined by U.S. GAAP, we disclose non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures we provide in this report should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are organic sales ("Organic Sales"), sales per business day ("Sales per Business Day"), organic sales per business day ("Organic Sales per Business Day"), free cash flow ("Free Cash Flow"), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA"), EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. These measures are not substitutes for their comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. 23 Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. Management believes that presenting our non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating our results. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation section below for detailed reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures. GENERAL BUSINESS OVERVIEW Overview DXP Enterprises, Inc. is a business-to-business distributor of MRO products and services to a variety of customers in different end markets with operations primarily in North America. Additionally, we provide engineered solutions including, fabrication, remanufacturing, and assembling of custom pump packages along with manufacturing branded private label pumps. CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK The global economy continues to experience elevated levels of volatility and uncertainty, driven by a combination of geopolitical developments and macroeconomic factors. Recent imposition of new and expanded tariffs have further contributed to disruptions in the capital markets and global supply chains. These developments may impact the Company’s operations, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company is actively monitoring economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally, including the potential ramifications of evolving trade policies, changes in interest rates, inflationary pressures, and the risk of a global or regional economic recession. In response to these factors, the Company is continuously reviewing various strategies designed to mitigate certain adverse effects of changing inflationary conditions and supply chain challenges, while continuing to maintain market price competitiveness. Historically, the Company's broad and diverse customer base and the generally non-discretionary nature of its products have provided a degree of resilience during periods of economic contraction in the industrial MRO market. However, the ultimate impact of ongoing macroeconomic conditions, including recent tariff-related developments, remains uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. For further discussion of the Company's risks and uncertainties, see Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K. Service Centers and Innovative Pumping Solutions Segments The replacement and mission-critical nature of our products and services within the Company's Service Centers and Innovative Pumping Solutions 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had approximately $967.3 million in sales in our Service Centers and Innovative Pumping Solutions segments, an increase of approximately 14.3 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Our performance has been strengthened by our ability to maintain strong margins despite price increases from vendors and suppliers. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, $8.6 million in sales in our Service Centers (SC) segment and $82.0 million in sales in our Innovative Pumping Solutions (IPS) segment were associated with recent acquisition. Supply Chain Services Segment For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had approximately $130.8 million in sales in our Supply Chain Services (SCS) segment, an increase of approximately 1.6 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. 24 Matters Affecting Comparability Our results of operations are not directly comparable on a year-over-year basis due to various prior acquisitions and the varying size and number of acquisitions in any comparable period. Accordingly, the results of acquisitions are included subsequent to their respective acquisition dates and the Company provides detail around Organic and Acquisition Sales as defined in our Key Business Metrics. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, acquisition sales were $90.6 million compared to $55.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Key Business Metrics We regularly monitor several financial and operating metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. Our key non-GAAP business metrics may be calculated in a different manner than similarly titled metrics used by other companies. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations” for additional information on non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

"Acquisition Sales" are sales from acquisitions that have been under our ownership for less than twelve months and are excluded in our calculation of Organic Sales. Business Days "Business Days" are days of the week, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, that our locations are open during the year. Depending on the location and the season, our branches may be open on Saturdays and Sundays; however, for consistency, those days have been excluded from the calculation of Business Days. Sales per Business Day We define and calculate Sales per Business Day as sales divided by the number of Business Days in the relevant reporting period. Organic Sales per Business Days We define and calculate Organic Sales per Business Day as Organic Sales divided by the number of Business Days in the relevant reporting period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA We define and calculate EBITDA as Net income attributable to DXP Enterprises, Inc., plus interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA as Net income attributable to DXP Enterprises, Inc., plus interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization plus stock-based compensation expense and all other non-cash charges, adjustments, and non-recurring items. We identify the impact of all other non-cash charges, adjustments and non-recurring items because we believe these items do not directly reflect our underlying operations. EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin We define and calculate EBITDA Margin as EBITDA divided by sales. We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. Free Cash Flow We define and calculate free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. 26 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands, except percentages and per share data) DXP is organized into three business segments: Service Centers, Innovative Pumping Solutions, and Supply Chain Services.

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased $77.8 million, or 15.6 percent, to approximately $576.5 million from $498.7 million for the prior year's corresponding period, of which recent acquisitions contributed $49.8 million. Additionally, the overall increase in sales was the result of an increase in sales in our SC, IPS, and SCS segments of $28.2 million, $49.2 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. The fluctuations in sales are further explained in our business segment discussions below. Service Centers segment. Sales for the SC segment increased $28.2 million, or 8.3 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year's corresponding period. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, sales grew $40.9 million, this sales increase was the result of increases within our California, Gulf Coast, Southeast, North Texas, South Central and South Rockies regions totaling $31.9 million, offset by decreases in sales in our Southwest region. Sales from recent acquisitions contributed $2.9 million during the period, compared to $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Innovative Pumping Solutions segment. Sales for the IPS segment increased $49.2 million, or 52.6 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year's corresponding period. This sales increase was the result of increases within our water and wastewater division and increased production contracts totaling $11.3 million, as well as strategic acquisitions within the IPS segment. Sales from recent acquisitions contributed $47.0 million during the period, compared to $9.0 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Supply Chain Services segment. Sales for the SCS segment increased by $0.4 million, or 0.6 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year's corresponding period. This was primarily due to the onboarding of new customers and their related facilities, partially offset by decreased activity with existing customers. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was 31.8 percent compared to 31.6 percent for the prior year's corresponding period. The gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was positively impacted by 11 basis points due to recent acquisitions and continuing margin expansion efforts. 28 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES ("SG&A"). SG&A for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $15.7 million, or 14.1 percent, to $127.6 million from $111.8 million for the prior year's corresponding period. The increase in SG&A is primarily the result of increased payroll related costs, depreciation and amortization, rent, insurance, and professional fees. OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the second quarter of 2026 increased by $9.5 million to $55.5 million, from $46.0 million in the prior year's corresponding period. This increase in operating income was primarily driven by increases in our SC, IPS, and SCS segments. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 increased $2.1 million compared to the prior year's corresponding period. This increase was primarily due to the Company refinancing its Term Loan B during the fourth quarter of 2025. INCOME TAXES. Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 27.7 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 25.3 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025, the effective tax rate increased primarily due to discrete items, including updates to the tax reserves, which reflect our ongoing assessment of uncertain tax positions, including research and development tax credits for which we believe our position is supportable and intend to dispute any proposed IRS adjustments, a decrease in tax benefits related to stock-based compensation vested during the period, net of amounts limited by Section 162(m), and an increase in non-deductible expenses. 29 Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 % 2025 % Sales $ 1,098,119 100.0% $ 975,251 100.0% Cost of sales 746,446 68.0% 667,173 68.4% Gross profit 351,673 32.0% 308,078 31.6% Selling, general and administrative expenses 253,706 23.1% 221,577 22.7% Income from operations 97,967 8.9% 86,501 8.9% Interest expense 33,274 3.0% 29,404 3.0% Other income, net (1,653) (0.2)% (1,672) (0.2)% Income before income taxes 66,346 6.0% 58,769 6.0% Provision for income taxes 17,660 1.6% 14,568 1.5% Net income $ 48,686 4.4% $ 44,201 4.5% Earnings per share: Basic $ 3.13 $ 2.81 Diluted $ 2.98 $ 2.67 The following tables sets forth the disaggregation of revenue from sales associated with acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands) : Sales Acquisition Sales Organic Sales Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Service Centers $ 705,874 $ 8,581 $ 697,293 Innovative Pumping Solutions 261,399 82,012 179,387 Supply Chain Services 130,846 — 130,846 Total Sales $ 1,098,119 $ 90,593 $ 1,007,526 Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Service Centers $ 666,806 $ 33,496 $ 633,310 Innovative Pumping Solutions 179,722 22,221 157,501 Supply Chain Services 128,723 — 128,723 Total Sales $ 975,251 $ 55,717 $ 919,534 $ Change Service Centers $ 39,068 $ (24,915) $ 63,983 Innovative Pumping Solutions 81,677 59,791 21,886 Supply Chain Services 2,123 — 2,123 Total $ Change $ 122,868 $ 34,876 $ 87,992 % Change Service Centers 5.9 % (74.4) % 10.1 % Innovative Pumping Solutions 45.4 % 269.1 % 13.9 % Supply Chain Services 1.6 % N/A 1.6 % Total % Change 12.6 % 62.6 % 9.6 % 30 SALES. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $122.9 million, or 12.6 percent, to approximately $1.1 billion from $1.0 billion for the prior year's corresponding period, of which recent acquisitions contributed $90.6 million during the year. Additionally, the overall increase in sales was the result of an overall increase in sales within our SC, IPS, and SCS segments of $39.1 million, $81.7 million, and $2.1 million. The fluctuations in sales are further explained in our business segment discussions below. Service Centers segment. Sales for the SC segment increased by $39.1 million, or 5.9 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year's corresponding period. Sales from recent acquisitions for the SC segment contributed $8.6 million during the period as compared to $33.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Total sales for the SC segment excluding acquisitions increased $64.0 million from the prior year's corresponding period. This sales increase was primarily the result of increased business activity within the majority of our regions, offset by a decrease in project-related work compared to the prior year's corresponding period. Innovative Pumping Solutions segment . Sales for the IPS segment increased by $81.7 million, or 45.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year's corresponding period. Sales from acquisitions for the IPS segment contributed $82.0 million during the period compared to $22.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, sales increased within our water and wastewater end market, due to the increased projects compared to the prior year's corresponding period. Supply Chain Services segment. Sales for the SCS segment increased by $2.1 million, or 1.6 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the prior year's corresponding period. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 32.0 percent compared to 31.6 percent for the prior year's corresponding period. The gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was positively impacted by 44 basis points due to recent acquisitions and continuing margin expansion efforts. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES ("SG&A"). SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by approximately $32.1 million, or 14.5 percent, to $253.7 million from $221.6 million for the prior year's corresponding period. The increase in SG&A is primarily the result of increased payroll related costs, depreciation and amortization, rent, insurance, and professional fees. OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $11.5 million or 13.3 percent to $98.0 million from $86.5 million in the prior year's corresponding period. This increase in operating income was primarily driven by increases in our SC, IPS, and SCS segments. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $3.9 million compared with the prior year's corresponding period. This increase was primarily due to the Company refinancing its Term Loan B during the fourth quarter of 2025. INCOME TAXES. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was a tax expense of 26.6 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a tax expense of 24.8 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate increased primarily due to discrete items, including updates to the tax reserves, which reflect our ongoing assessment of uncertain tax positions, including research and development tax credits for which we believe our position is supportable and intend to dispute any proposed IRS adjustments, a decrease in tax benefits related to stock-based compensation vested during the period, net of amounts limited by Section 162(m), and an increase in non-deductible expenses. 31 NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS Organic Sales and Acquisition Sales We define and calculate organic sales to include locations and acquisitions under our ownership for at least twelve months. "Acquisition Sales" are sales from acquisitions that have been under our ownership for less than twelve months and are excluded in our calculation of Organic Sales.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure (in thousands) : Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 32,386 $ 18,646 $ 61,955 $ 21,619 Less: purchases of property and equipment (2,621) (10,346) (5,915) (30,260) Free Cash Flow $ 29,765 $ 8,300 $ 56,040 $ (8,641) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES General Overview We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing, and financing activities. We continue to generate adequate cash from operating activities. We believe that our operating cash flow, cash on hand, and other sources of liquidity including our ABL and Term Loan B, will be sufficient to allow us to continue investing in the business including capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and investments, paying interest and servicing debt, and repurchasing common stock when deemed appropriate. Our primary source of capital is cash flow from operations, supplemented as necessary by bank borrowings or other sources of debt and existing cash balances. As a distributor of MRO products and services, we require certain amounts of working capital to primarily fund inventories and accounts receivables. Additional cash is required for capital items for information technology, warehouse equipment, leasehold improvements, pump manufacturing and safety services equipment. We also require cash to pay our lease obligations, fund project work-in-process and to service our debt. Cash As of June 30, 2026, we had available cash of $226.6 million and credit facility availability of $147.9 million. We have a $185.0 million asset-backed line of credit (the "ABL Revolver"), partially offset by letters of credit of $37.1 million. We had no borrowings outstanding on our ABL Revolver as of June 30, 2026. Cash Flows The following table summarizes our net cash flows provided by and used in operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for the periods presented (in thousands) : Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 Net Cash Provided by (Used in): Operating Activities $ 61,955 $ 21,619 Investing Activities (118,293) (41,405) Financing Activities (18,974) (16,594) Effect of Foreign Currency (1,853) 899 Net Change in Cash $ (77,165) $ (35,481) Operating Activities The Company generated $62.0 million of cash from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $21.6 million of cash generated during the prior year's corresponding period. The increase of $40.3 million was primarily due to higher net income during the period and a reduction in tax payments compared to the prior corresponding period. 33 Investing Activities For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in investing activities was $118.3 million compared to a $41.4 million use of cash during the prior year’s corresponding period. This $76.9 million increase was primarily driven by increased acquisition activity during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Total consideration, net of cash acquired, was $112.9 million, compared to $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Financing Activities For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in financing activities was $19.0 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $16.6 million during the prior year’s corresponding period. The increase was primarily due to increases in shares withheld for taxes relating to shares vesting compared to prior corresponding period and increased principal debt repayments. We believe the Company has adequate funding to support its working capital needs within the business. Debt At June 30, 2026, our total outstanding debt was $842.5 million, or 60.9 percent of total capitalization (total debt plus shareholders' equity) of $1.4 billion. $841.6 million of this outstanding debt bears interest at various floating rates. For a further discussion of the Company's debt refer to Note 8. Long-Term Debt . Liquidity We believe our cash generated from operations will meet our normal working capital needs during the next twelve months. However, we may require additional debt outside of our credit facilities or equity financing to fund potential acquisitions. Such additional financings may include additional bank debt or the public or private sale of debt or equity securities. In connection with any such financing, we may issue securities that substantially dilute the interests of our shareholders. The following table summarizes the amount of borrowing capacity under our ABL Revolver as follows (in thousands): June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Total borrowing capacity $ 185,000 $ 185,000 Less: Amount drawn — — Less: Outstanding letters of credit 37,117 31,472 Total amount available $ 147,883 $ 153,528 At June 30, 2026, the Company had $374.5 million of liquidity including $226.6 million in cash and $147.9 million in availability under the ABL Revolver. On July 2, 2026, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second A&R Credit Agreement”). The ABL Credit Agreement provides for asset-based revolving loans (the “ABL Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $225.0 million. The ABL Facility may be increased by up to an aggregate of $50.0 million, in minimum increments of $10.0 million. The ABL Credit Agreement amends and restates the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 19, 2022. The ABL Facility will mature on July 2, 2031. For further discussion refer to Note 17. Subsequent Events . 34 Credit Ratings On July 20, 2026, we received an updated credit rating from Standard and Poor's ("S&P"), upgrading our issuer credit and issue-level rating from B to B+. This upgrade provides the capital markets with an updated view on our comparative credit risk which can impact future borrowing costs, and our ability to access funding efficiently. Free Cash Flow 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 shares of the Company's common stock, and for other activities. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of liquidity under U.S. GAAP, and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities. Free Cash Flow reconciles to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure of cash flows from operations. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 32,386 $ 18,646 $ 61,955 $ 21,619 Less: purchases of property and equipment (2,621) (10,346) (5,915) (30,260) Free Cash Flow $ 29,765 $ 8,300 $ 56,040 $ (8,641) Uses of Liquidity Internally generated cash flows are the primary source of working capital and growth initiatives, including acquisitions and growth capital expenditures. The Company expects to continue to return excess capital to shareholders through share repurchases, when appropriate. Working Capital We monitor net working capital, which excludes cash and restricted cash, short-term debt obligations, and short-term operating leases. Net working capital as of June 30, 2026 was $393.3 million, an increase of $31.7 million, compared to $361.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to sustained sales growth and acquisitions. Acquisitions For a discussion of the Company’s acquisitions refer to Note 12. Business Acquisitions . During June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company invested $112.9 million and $13.9 million, respectively, in acquisitions. Capital Expenditures The Company's capital expenditures was $5.9 million and $30.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 respectively. This includes continued facility upgrades and enhancements, tools and equipment, and enhancements across the Company. DISCUSSION OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS POLICIES Critical accounting and business policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company's financial position and results of operations, and require management's subjective or complex judgments.
