DXP Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXPE) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The following are results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the back of this press release.

Fourth Quarter 2021 financial highlights:

  • Sales grew 26.0 percent to $293.1 million, compared to $232.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.
  • Earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter was $0.05 based upon 19.6 million diluted shares, compared to $(0.18) per share in the fourth quarter of 2020, based on 17.8 million diluted shares. Excluding inventory impairment charges and debt extinguishment costs, earnings per diluted share was $0.13 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Fiscal Year 2021 financial highlights:

  • Sales increased 10.8 percent to $1.1 billion, compared to $1.0 billion for 2020.
  • Earnings per diluted share for 2021 was $0.83 based upon 19.8 million diluted shares, compared to a loss of $(1.65) per share in 2020, based on 17.7 million basic shares. Excluding non-cash impairment and other one-time charges of $59.9 million, and $5.4 million in debt extinguishment costs, earnings per diluted share were $0.73 per share, assuming a 22.5% tax rate for full year 2020 .
  • Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 was $70.2 million compared to $59.0 million for 2020. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales was 6.3 percent and 5.9 percent, respectively.
  • Free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures) for the full year was $32.8 million.

David R. Little, Chairman and CEO commented, “Given that our oil and gas customers' budgets were significantly reduced and the impact of COVID were stronger during the first of half of 2021, impacting the industrial side of DXP, fiscal 2021 was a good transitional year. DXP experienced growth in sales and gross margin resulting in 19.1 percent year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA. We are pleased with the overall financial performance in 2021. Similar to last year, fiscal 2021 was another unique year and presented corporate, societal and individual challenges. During the second half of 2021, we worked through accelerating supply chain headwinds and the beginning of meaningful inflation along with the continued impacts from COVID-19. DXP’s fiscal 2021 total sales were $1.1 billion a 10.8 percent increase year-over-year. Service Center sales were up 23.2 percent to $816.5 million, followed by Supply Chain Services growing 2.1 percent at $157.8 million and Innovative Pumping Solutions sales declined 25.8 percent to $139.6 million."

Mr. Little continued, "The sales momentum from our fourth quarter has positioned us for continued success as we move into 2022. Specifically, we have now experienced two sequential quarters of organic growth within IPS. The improved but volatile conditions in our traditional end markets along with DXP setting the stage to accelerate new growth through our focus on new markets, products and continued efficiency will be a catalyst as we move forward and into 2022. We are targeting opportunities in less cyclical markets, such as water and other general industries, while supporting our customers’ aspirations to decarbonize and maximize energy efficiency. We are confident that our growth strategy, coupled with a continued focus on improving margins will drive shareholder value."

Kent Yee, CFO commented, "Fiscal year 2021 financial performance reflects a turning of the business during the second half of the year. During the first and second quarter, the business was still declining and working through the impacts of COVID-19 on a year-over-year basis. In the second half of fiscal year 2021, we grew the business organically 13.1 percent. Overall, we are pleased with our fourth quarter and full year results. Total sales for the year grew 10.8 percent. Our fiscal year 2021 diluted earnings per share was $0.83. We generated $32.8 million in free cash flow, which reflects investments in working capital as we started to grow during the second half of the year. We continue to execute on our acquisition program having closed three acquisitions, bringing the total to seven acquisitions during this COVID cycle. We continue to deliver financial results that display our ability to adjust to the current environment while keeping our eyes toward the future with proactive actions including opportunistic share repurchases. During the year we repurchased 1.2 million shares or $33.5M in stock. As of December 31, 2021, we had $49.1 million in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. Our secured leverage was 3.71:1, well under our covenant limit of 5.50:1. We continue to have momentum going into fiscal 2022 and we expect to drive organic and acquisition based growth."

Auditor Transition Update

DXP has successfully completed its auditor transition plan. Earlier this morning, DXP announced its Audit Committee selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm for the 2022 fiscal year. McConnell & Jones LLP will continue in its capacity through the completion of their audit services for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and the filing of DXP’s 2021 Form 10-K.

Over the last four years, DXP has been focused on ensuring we are building a strong finance and accounting team, enhanced capabilities and increased functionality that would support and propel DXP into becoming a multi-billion-dollar company. This plan is centered around continuous improvement in people, accounting processes and technology to support the variety of businesses that are integral to DXP.

Financial Strength and Liquidity

Net debt, calculated as total long-term debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, was $277.7 million compared to $210.7 million at December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, DXP has approximately $180.7 million in liquidity, consisting of $49.0 million in cash on hand and approximately $131.7 million in availability under our ABL facility.

We will host a conference call regarding December 31, 2021 fourth quarter results on the Company’s website (www.dxpe.com) Friday, March 25, 2022 at 10:30 am CST. Web participants are encouraged to go to the Company’s website at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the call to register, download and install any necessary audio software. The online archived replay will be available immediately after the conference call at www.dxpe.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

DXP supplements reporting of net income with non-GAAP measurements, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, non-GAAP net income and net debt. This supplemental information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the unaudited GAAP measurements. Additional information regarding EBITDA, free cash flow and non-GAAP net income referred to in this press release are included below under "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information."

The Company believes EBITDA provides additional information about: (i) operating performance, because it assists in comparing the operating performance of the business, as it removes the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense as well as items not directly resulting from core operations such as interest expense and income taxes and (ii) the performance and the effectiveness of operational strategies. Additionally, EBITDA performance is a component of a measure of the Company’s financial covenants under its credit facility. Furthermore, some investors use EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in the industry. Management believes that some investors’ understanding of performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing ongoing results of operations. By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with a reconciliation from net income, the Company believes it is enhancing investors’ understanding of the business and results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well the Company is executing strategic initiatives.

* Adjustment for taxes relates to the tax effects of the adjustments that we incorporated into non-GAAP measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure of non-GAAP net income. Also, we have included an adjustment for the normalizing of tax credits and adjustments. The year-to-date effective tax rate of 22.5 percent was applied to the impairments and other charges for conservative purposes.

** Fiscal year 2020 diluted earnings per share for GAAP purposes was calculated using basic weighted average shares outstanding. Due to a loss for the period, convertible preferred stock shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect will be antidilutive.
