\nDavid R. Little, Chairman and CEO commented, “Fiscal 2022 was another great year for DXP. DXPeople drove fourth quarter results well above expectations, with strong performance across all business segments. Broad based business strength across the business helped us deliver 33% revenue growth on a year-over-year basis. Consistent and resilient demand, along with price impacts delivered robust revenue growth in the fourth quarter on a sales per business day basis and throughout fiscal 2022. This growth has fueled a healthy momentum coming into 2023. DXP\u2019s Innovative Pumping Solutions sales were up 65.6 percent to $231.1 million, followed by Supply Chain Services sales growing 52.3 percent at $240.4 million and Service Centers sales growing 23.6 percent to $1.0 billion. Congratulations to all of our DXPeople for their hard work and efforts to serve our customers given the headwinds of supply chain issues, supplier increases, and employee turnover.”<\/p>\n
\nMr. Little continued, “The sales momentum from the fourth quarter accompanied by our backlogs has positioned us for further success as we move into 2023. Additionally, we strengthened our balance sheet in the fourth quarter, raising an incremental $105 million under our Term Loan B. The strength of the balance sheet, the balanced end markets that we have delivered upon, and our ability to continue to execute on acquisitions have set the stage for 2023. We see positive dynamics in our traditional end markets like oil & gas, as well as positive outlooks for end markets like water & wastewater. We are confident our growth strategy, coupled with a continued focus on improving margins and maintaining operational discipline will drive shareholder value.”<\/p>\n
\nKent Yee, CFO commented, “Fiscal 2022 financial performance reflects the execution of our end market diversification efforts, our plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, and continuous improvement in our operations and efficiency. Total sales and adjusted EBITDA grew 32.9 percent and 80.6 percent, respectively. We delivered strong sales growth, operating margin expansion, and thus, operating leverage of 2.4x. Our fiscal 2022 diluted earnings per share was $2.47. We are pleased with the fourth quarter, and year-end results. We positioned our balance sheet in the fourth quarter to support our growth plans in 2023. DXP ended the year with $46.1 million in cash on the balance sheet and net debt of $382.1 million. DXP\u2019s secured leverage ratio or net debt to EBITDA was 2.8:1.0 with a covenant EBITDA of $135.1 million for fiscal 2022. We continue to have momentum going into fiscal 2023 and we expect to drive both organic and acquisition driven growth while driving shareholder and stakeholder value.”<\/p>\n
Financial Strength and Liquidity<\/b><\/p>\n
\nNet debt, calculated as total long-term debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, was $382.1 million compared to $277.7 million at December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, DXP has approximately $178.4 million in liquidity, consisting of $46.0 million in cash on hand and approximately $132.4 million in availability under our ABL facility.<\/p>\n
Management Commentary<\/b><\/p>\n
\n“During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we delivered solid results despite the market volatility. We achieved yet another quarter of year-over-year net sales and earnings growth in addition to delivering consolidated Adj. EBITDA margins of 7.8 percent. Our fourth quarter was the strongest fourth quarter performance in the Company’s history. These results demonstrate strong operational execution and the resiliency of our business model, which enables DXP to perform across the economic cycle,” said David Little, Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n
\n“As an enterprise, our performance continues to match our strategic focus of core improvement and continues to outperform expectations. Our record fiscal year operating results demonstrates our ability to execute on our goals. Supply Chain Services had a record year, at $240.4 million, catapulted by the addition of a large diversified chemical customer that we are excited to have on board. We look forward to finding similar opportunities going forward and organically growing our Supply Chain business with new customer wins and establishing new sales highs. Innovative Pumping Solutions experienced meaningful growth within our heritage 529 energy fabrication business, which is already off to a great start in 2023, along with significant growth from our recent water acquisitions which continue to perform well for DXP. Also, Service Centers had a record year at $1.0 billion in sales, driven by strong price and good demand dynamics in a variety of end markets including chemicals, manufacturing, water & wastewater and energy as well as the addition of our recent air compressor acquisitions and the overall performance of acquisitions that we have made within Service Centers since fiscal 2020,” continued Little.<\/p>\n
\n“Our balance sheet remains in excellent condition, as we ended the year with total liquidity of $178.4 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $46.1 million and $132.4 million available under our ABL. We believe our strong liquidity and strong counter cyclical cash generation profile will allow us to operate from a position of financial strength going forward as we continue to navigate near-term market dynamics. Sales per business day, as a broad KPI improved from the third quarter going from $6.0 million per day to $6.6 million per day or an improvement of 8.3 percent. Year-over-year, we grew sales per business day 36 percent,” added Kent Yee, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.<\/p>\n
Outlook<\/b><\/p>\n
\n“As we enter our fiscal 2023, there remains a level of volatility and uncertainty that appears to be leveling as we progress through the early parts of fiscal 2023. We have high confidence in our operating teams, flexible business model and execution strategy. Our first few months fiscal 2023 performance reinforces our discipline to remain focused on what we can control. Estimated sales per business day in January and February were $5.7 million and $5.9 million per day, respectively. Looking ahead, we intend to maintain that same discipline to navigate the current environment while positioning DXP to be an even stronger company through investments to automate and modernize the business as we continue to grow organically and through acquisitions,” added David Little, Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n
