N/M - Not meaningful

Revenue increased 11.0% year-over-year to $557.7 million, driven by organic sales growth of 10.2% with daily sales improvement across all of the verticals. The first quarter acquisition of Eastern Valve contributed approximately $4.1 million of revenue in the second quarter. Sequentially, revenue increased 12.4% over the first quarter on two additional selling days.

Profitability improved sequentially on higher sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of sales was 9.7%, a sequential improvement of 210bps, while a sequential improvement in operating income to $27.9 million drove improved adjusted earnings per share from $0.24 to $0.47.

Improved profitability and working capital management in the quarter drove cash flows from operations to $22.0 million for the quarter, an improvement over cash flows used in operations of $20.4 million in the first quarter of 2026.

2026 Second Quarter Summary(1)

  • Revenue increased $55.3 million or 11.0% to $557.7 million, primarily driven by organic sales growth of 10.2% and $4.1 million of incremental revenue from the acquisition closed in the first quarter of 2026. Sequentially, organic sales grew 12.4% with organic average daily sales growing 8.1% over the first quarter of 2026. Gross margin decreased from 33.9% to 32.3% primarily due to customer and vertical sales mix shifts and higher tariff rates on inbound shipments partially offset by pricing benefits realized.
  • Operating income was $27.9 million, net of $11.1 million of non-cash acquired intangible amortization and $6.2 million of non-recurring severance and acquisition-related retention costs, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs and other non-recurring items. This compares to operating income of $26.8 million in the prior year quarter which was net of $11.7 million of intangible amortization and $1.4 million of non-recurring items. Adjusted operating income, excluding these non-cash and non-recurring items, was $45.2 million in the current quarter compared to $39.9 million in the year-ago quarter and $29.1 million in the first quarter of 2026.
  • Net income was $8.5 million for the quarter compared to net income of $5.0 million in the year-ago quarter.
  • Diluted net earnings per share was $0.18 for the quarter compared to diluted net earnings per share of $0.11 in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.47 compared to $0.35 for the same period a year ago and $0.24 for the first quarter of 2026.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $53.9 million, or 9.7% of sales, compared to $48.6 million, or 9.7% of sales in the prior year quarter and $37.8 million or 7.6% of sales in the first quarter of 2026.
  • Cash provided by operations was $22.0 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 $420.2 million, consisting of $75.5 million of cash (restricted and unrestricted) and $344.7 million available under its credit facility with net debt leverage of 3.4x.

Additional Information on Proposed Merger Agreement

LKCM Headwater and its affiliates currently own approximately 79% of DSG’s outstanding common stock. J. Bryan King, DSG’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is the Managing Partner of LKCM Headwater.

The $35.00 per share purchase price represents an increase of $5.50 per share over LKCM Headwater’s initial non-binding proposal of $29.50 per share submitted to the Company’s Board of Directors on March 14, 2026 (the “Initial Proposal”), and an approximately 81% premium to the Company’s closing share price of $19.31 on March 13, 2026, the last trading day prior to public disclosure of LKCM Headwater’s proposal. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company will become a privately held company 100% controlled by LKCM Headwater and its affiliates, and the Company’s common stock will no longer be listed on Nasdaq.

Following LKCM Headwater’s delivery of the Initial Proposal and in light of LKCM Headwater’s existing ownership position and Mr. King’s roles with both LKCM Headwater and the Company, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) formed a special committee consisting of disinterested directors (the “Special Committee”) to evaluate the Initial Proposal and negotiate a potential transaction with LKCM Headwater. The Special Committee unanimously approved the transaction and recommended that the Board approve the transaction. The Board, upon the Special Committee’s unanimous recommendation, with certain directors recusing themselves from the vote, approved the transaction. In connection with the Merger Agreement, we amended our existing credit agreement to permit, subject to its terms and conditions, revolving loans to be used to finance the Merger and related amounts.

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”), the absence of legal restraints prohibiting the transaction, and stockholder approvals (including the approval of a majority of the votes cast by holders of DSG common stock not owned by LKCM Headwater and its affiliates).

The transaction is not subject to a financing condition; however, in connection with the execution of the merger agreement, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, pursuant to which, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Company’s credit agreement, proceeds of revolving loans may be used to finance the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. For additional information and defined terms, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 16, 2026.

Additional Information About the Merger and Where to Find It

In connection with the proposed Merger, the Company intends to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”), and the Company, LKCM Headwater and certain of their respective affiliates intend to jointly file with the SEC a transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “Schedule 13E-3”). The definitive Proxy Statement will be sent or otherwise made available to stockholders of the Company. This communication is not a substitute for the Proxy Statement, the Schedule 13E-3 or any other document that the Company may file with the SEC in connection with the proposed Merger. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT, THE SCHEDULE 13E-3 AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY AND THE PROPOSED MERGER. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain copies of the Proxy Statement, the Schedule 13E-3 and other documents filed with the SEC by the Company free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or from the Company’s website.

Participants in the Solicitation

The Company and certain of its directors, executive officers and other members of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction. Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is available in the Company’s proxy statement for its most recent annual meeting of stockholders and in other documents filed by the Company with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of those persons and other persons who may be deemed participants in the proposed transaction will be included in the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 when they are filed with the SEC. To the extent holdings of the Company’s securities by its directors or executive officers have changed since the amounts set forth in such 2026 proxy statement, such changes have been or will be reflected on Initial Statements of Beneficial Ownership on Form 3 or Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC.

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, 2026 and 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2026. 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.
