Bryan King, CEO and Chairman, said, “Our third-quarter results demonstrate the strength and resilience of our business model, even as inflation, tariffs, and higher interest rates continue to challenge parts of the U.S. economy. We delivered double-digit revenue growth of 10.7% in the quarter, supported by strong momentum in organic average daily sales which grew 6.0%, as well as revenue contributions from our recent acquisitions. Sales growth was realized across each of our segments, particularly strong at Gexpro Services and the Canada Branch Division. Supported by four quarters of organic top-line revenue growth quarter-over-quarter, we’re entering the final stretch of the year with solid momentum and confidence in our growth strategy.

“Once again, we delivered strong operating cash flow of $38.4 million in the quarter. We also enhanced shareholder returns with more than $20.0 million in common stock repurchases in the first nine months of 2025 reflecting our confidence in the Company’s performance trajectory despite a challenging macro environment. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $48.5 million, or 9.4% of sales, a strong showing despite product and customer mix dynamics and the impact of increased employee-related costs, in particular, for healthcare. While industry-wide U.S. manufacturing softness and significant strategical investments in the business have pressured margins below 10% this year, we’re encouraged by the progress our teams are making. Gexpro Services delivered another quarter of sequential margin expansion, and our Canada Branch Division—primarily Source Atlantic—achieved significant improvement, to 9.6% compared to 6.5% in the second quarter. These results reflect disciplined execution of margin unlocking initiatives and continued focus on operational efficiencies across our portfolio.

“We ended the quarter with no outstanding revolver debt and total liquidity of over $335 million. This underscores our solid liquidity position and the financial flexibility to pursue future acquisitions and other strategic growth opportunities. As we look at the fourth quarter, we’re maintaining a cautious outlook given tougher year-over-year comparisons and ongoing economic uncertainty. That said, I remain confident in our leadership teams and their ability to continue building structurally higher-margin businesses that generate strong free cash flow and create long-term value for our shareholders,” concluded Mr. King.

2025 Third Quarter Summary(1)

  • Revenue increased $49.9 million, or 10.7%, to $518.0 million, driven by $23.3 million of incremental revenue from three acquisitions closed in the second half of 2024. Organic sales grew 6.0% over a year ago and 3.1% sequentially over the second quarter of 2025.

  • Operating income was $23.6 million, net of $11.7 million of non-cash acquired intangible amortization and $4.8 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 $18.9 million in the prior year quarter, net of similar items as 2025. Adjusted operating income, excluding these non-cash and non-recurring items, was $40.1 million in the current quarter compared to $42.5 million in the year-ago quarter and $39.9 million in the second quarter of 2025.

  • Diluted net income per share was $0.14 for the quarter compared to diluted net income per share of $0.46 in the year-ago quarter which benefitted from a substantial non-recurring tax benefit. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.40 compared to $0.37 for the same period a year ago and $0.35 for the second quarter of 2025.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $48.5 million, or 9.4% of sales, compared to $49.1 million, or 10.5% of sales in the prior year quarter. Inclusion of the 2024 Source Atlantic acquisition compressed Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales by approximately 11bps over the year ago quarter.

  • Cash flow from operations was $38.4 million for the quarter. Uses of cash for the quarter included net capital expenditures of $7.7 million.

  • The Company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $335.4 million, consisting of $82.7 million of cash (restricted and unrestricted) and $252.7 million available under its credit facility with no outstanding borrowings under its revolver. Net debt leverage was 3.5x.

  • Net working capital ended at $485.7 million for the quarter.

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 September 30, 2025 and 2024 and the three months ended June 30, 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.
