Distributions Solutions Group Announces Second Quarter 2022 Results

Strong Start for Initial Reporting Period of Recently Merged Companies

Distributions Solutions Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:DSGR) ("DSG" or the "Company"), a leading specialty distributor providing high touch, value-added distribution solutions to the maintenance, repair & operations (MRO), original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the industrial technologies markets today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, its initial reporting period since the April 1, 2022 merger of Lawson Products, Gexpro Services and TestEquity. Presentations are supplemented by a series of slides appearing on the company’s investor relations home page at www.distributionsolutionsgroup.com.

Note Regarding Reverse Merger Accounting

As a result of the April 1, 2022 merger of Lawson Products, Gexpro Services and TestEquity, our financial results are reported under reverse merger accounting treatment as required by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Accordingly, Lawson Products results are included only for the period following the April 1, 2022 merger closing date. GAAP results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 include the combined results of Gexpro Services and TestEquity. GAAP results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 include the results of Lawson Products, Gexpro Services and TestEquity and results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 include the results of Lawson Products for the three months after the April 1, 2021 merger closing date.

Second Quarter Highlights (1)

  • GAAP net sales were $321.3 million, an increase of $187.2 million or 139.5%. Non-GAAP adjusted net sales including the net sales of pre-merger Lawson Products for the second quarter of 2021, increased approximately $80.6 million or 33.5% driven by organic growth of 11.8% and $52.3 million of additional sales from various other companies acquired in 2021 and 2022 besides Lawson Products.
  • Reported operating income was $4.1 million or 1.3% of sales including merger related costs, higher stock-based compensation costs and incremental intangible amortization expense as a result of the merger. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA increased by $11.7 million from the prior year period to $31.7 million or 9.9% of sales.
  • Diluted loss per share was $0.23 for the quarter compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.04 in the year ago quarter. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.36 in the second quarter 2022 vs. $0.10 for the same period a year ago 2021.
  • The Company ended the quarter with $17.9 million of cash on hand and $85.9 million of availability under its credit facility.

See reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures in tables 2 and 3.

"We are pleased with the strong results DSG is reporting for its initial quarter following the strategic combination of Lawson Products, Gexpro Services and TestEquity, and are excited about the future prospects of the combined DSG business. Each of the operating companies made significant progress giving us further confidence in our overall strategy and our teams, and raising our excitement about the future of the combined DSG business," said Bryan King, CEO and Chairman of the Board.

"For the quarter, net sales grew to $321.3 million including acquisition revenues, coupled with 11.8% growth in our organic business. This growth drove adjusted EBITDA to $31.7 million or 9.9% of sales. We continue to see solid product demand from our customers across many of our end markets. Only 120 days into the merger we are realizing early wins regarding customer opportunities as well as overall cost synergies. The leadership of each operating company and their respective teams are working collaboratively to ensure they continue to deliver on our high-touch, value added business models while we continue to focus on increasing DSG's long-term enterprise value for our shareholders.

"During the quarter we successfully completed two accretive acquisitions with aggregate annual revenues of approximately $119 million which are expected to generate annual adjusted EBITDA in excess of $10 million. Our acquisition pipeline is strong and we are committed to investing resources and capital to ensure that acquisitions are accretive to our growth and earnings profile," concluded Mr. King.

The following represents a summary of net sales, operating income and adjusted EBITDA for each reportable segment. See reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures in table 2.

The terms "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "contemplates," "continues," "could," "ensure," "estimate," "expect," "forecasts," "if," "intend," "likely," "may," "might," "objective," "outlook," "plan," "positioned," "potential," "predict," "probable," "project," "shall," "should," "strategy," "will," "would," and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from current expectations. DSG can give no assurance that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and DSG cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made. DSG undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties.

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, DSG’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and DSG’s Current Reports on Form 8-K. In addition, the following factors, among others, could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements: (i) whether or not the terms of the earnout provisions in either of the merger agreements will be satisfied such that DSG would be required to issue additional shares of common stock in connection with the mergers; (ii) unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the mergers; (iii) the risk that stockholder litigation in connection with the mergers results in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; and (iv) any problems arising in combining the businesses of Lawson Products, TestEquity and Gexpro Services, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected to any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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 reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain non-operational 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, 2022 and 2021. 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.
