Bryan King, CEO and Chairman, said, "We are pleased to deliver strong top and bottom-line results and cash flows for the quarter. Sales increased 14.3% to $502.4 million for the quarter, driven by acquisitions and a 3.3% average daily organic sales growth versus last year. Sequentially, seasonal daily sales grew by 2.4% over the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $48.6 million, or 9.7% of sales, and grew year-over-year and sequentially by 7.5% and 13.5%, respectively. Compared to the same quarter last year, Adjusted EBITDA margins declined slightly pressured by approximately 60bps from our Source Atlantic acquisition. However, we saw a lift in margin sequentially as we vigorously work on improving margins in Canada.
"In the second quarter, each of our operational teams delivered sequential expansion of adjusted margins driven partially by an expected seasonality benefit, but also evidencing progress on the execution of initiatives across our DSG platform. Sequentially, Lawson’s net margins in the quarter expanded from 11.9% to 12.6%, Gexpro Services expanded from 12.6% to 13.4%, TestEquity expanded from 6.8% to 6.9% and Canada Branch Division expanded from 5.2% to 6.5%. Initiatives to improve margins in each of our five 2024 acquisitions are still in the early stages, and we remain confident in our plan to enhance margins further and achieve higher returns. During the quarter, the teams also improved working capital management, enabling us to generate $33.3 million from cash flows from operations while ending the quarter with no outstanding revolver debt. We are well positioned with liquidity and flexibility as we evaluate our acquisition pipeline.
"DSG’s core strengths include strong vendor relationships and robust source capabilities, which have become increasingly important amid ongoing trade policy changes. These shifts have driven greater customer engagement as DSG teams help guide customers through sourcing options and product alternatives to add value. We remain cautiously optimistic about the remainder of 2025 given this uncertainty. In the first half of 2025, our stock buyback program was active, and we repurchased $20.0 million of DSGR stock, with $8.8 million of the repurchases occurring in the second quarter. I am confident that we will continue to build strong businesses through a combination of organic growth and the acquisition of strategic bolt-on businesses. We are fully aligned with shareholders and expect that by generating significant free cash flow and building structurally higher margin businesses, that our shareholders will be rewarded with an expanded valuation," concluded Mr. King.
2025 Second Quarter Summary(1)
- Revenue increased $62.9 million, or 14.3%, to $502.4 million, driven by $48.8 million of incremental revenue from five acquisitions closed in 2024. Organic sales grew 3.3% over a year ago and 5.1% sequentially over the first quarter of 2025.
- Operating income was $26.8 million, net of $11.7 million of non-cash acquired intangible amortization and $1.4 million of non-recurring severance and acquisition-related retention costs, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs and other non-recurring items. This compares to an operating income of $14.2 million in the prior year quarter, net of similar items as 2024. Adjusted operating income, excluding these non-cash and non-recurring items, was $39.9 million in the current quarter compared to $38.9 million in the year-ago quarter and $34.4 million in the first quarter of 2025.
- Diluted net income per share was $0.11 for the quarter compared to diluted net income per share of $0.04 in the year-ago quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA grew $3.4 million to $48.6 million, or 9.7% of sales, compared to $45.2 million, or 10.3% of sales in the prior year quarter. Inclusion of the 2024 Source Atlantic acquisition compressed Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales by approximately 60bps over the year ago quarter. Sequentially, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $5.8 million from the first quarter of 2025 and increased as a percentage of sales by 70bps.
- Cash flow from operations was $33.3 million for the quarter. Uses of cash for the quarter included net capital expenditures of $5.5 million and share repurchases of $8.8 million.
- The Company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $314.4 million, consisting of $61.8 million of cash (restricted and unrestricted) and $252.7 million available under its credit facility with net debt leverage of 3.5x.

Segment Reporting |
|
Change in Reportable Segments: In the third quarter of 2024, as a result of the Source Atlantic Limited ("Source Atlantic") acquisition, we realigned our reportable segments by adding a new segment with a focus on the Canadian MRO market. The new Canada Branch Division segment includes the results of Source Atlantic and Bolt Supply House ("Bolt"). The results of Bolt had previously been included in our All Other non-reportable segment prior to Q3 2024. The results of the Lawson, TestEquity and Gexpro Services reportable segments did not change. The segment realignment had no impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Prior period segment results have been recast to reflect our new reportable segments. |

DISTRIBUTION SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC. |
SEC REGULATION G GAAP RECONCILIATIONS |
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, 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 reflections of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain non-operational or non-cash items that impact the overall comparability. See Tables below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2025. 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. |
