Bryan King, CEO and Chairman, said, "Our financial results met expectations for the quarter, despite macro uncertainties that affected all U.S. companies. We are pleased with first quarter sales of $478 million, up 14.9%, comprising inorganic revenue of $51 million and an increase in organic average daily sales of 4.3%. On a constant currency basis our organic ADS was up 4.7%, which includes a full quarter of contribution from Source Atlantic. First quarter's Adjusted EBITDA grew to $42.8 million, up 18.6% and expanded to 9.0% as a percent of sales compared to 8.7% in the year-ago period.

"We are pleased to report year-over-year net margin expansion in each of our three verticals on a comparable basis. Lawson's net margins in the quarter expanded from 11.4% a year ago to 11.9%, Gexpro Services expanded from 11.0% a year ago to 12.6% and TestEquity expanded from 6.2% a year ago to 6.8%. As expected, Source Atlantic's results compressed the Canada Branch Division and DSG's net margins. Excluding the Source Atlantic impact from the consolidated results, Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first quarter would have been 9.6%. Initiatives to improve margins in each of our five 2024 acquisitions are in the early innings. We remain confident in our plan to improve DSG's structural margins and achieve our higher return goals.

"We are cautiously optimistic about 2025 and are well-positioned to help our customers navigate alternative sourcing and services as trade policies develop. In the first quarter, our capital allocation priorities allowed us to take advantage of opportunistic share repurchases totaling $11.2 million. We continue to focus on long-term value creation through the growth of our industrial distribution platform. We are building higher-margin businesses by strategically scaling our platform through a combination of organic growth and highly strategic M&A. Our focus on managing our capital structure and generating high cash flow conversion rates positions us well to generate sustaining, long-term value for our shareholders," concluded Mr. King.

2025 First Quarter Summary(1)

   -- Revenue increased $61.9 million, or 14.9%, to $478.0 million, including 
      $50.8 million of revenue from five acquisitions closed in 2024. Organic 
      average daily sales grew 4.3% over a year ago but decreased 1.4% 
      sequentially over the fourth quarter of 2024. On a constant currency 
      basis, organic average daily sales grew 4.7% over a year ago quarter. 
 
   -- Operating income was $20.1 million, net of $11.6 million of non-cash 
      acquired intangible amortization and $2.7 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 $2.8 million in the prior year 
      quarter, net of similar items as 2024. Adjusted operating income, 
      excluding these non-cash and non-recurring items, was $34.4 million in 
      the current quarter compared to $29.8 million in the year-ago quarter and 
      $37.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. 
 
   -- Diluted net income per share was $0.07 for the quarter compared to 
      diluted net loss per share of $0.11 in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP 
      adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.31 compared to $0.25 for the 
      same period a year ago and $0.42 for the fourth quarter of 2024. 
 
   -- Adjusted EBITDA grew $6.7 million to $42.8 million, or 9.0% of sales, 
      compared to $36.1 million, or 8.7% of sales in the prior year quarter. 
      Inclusion of the 2024 Source Atlantic acquisition compressed Adjusted 
      EBITDA as a percentage of sales by approximately 60bps over the year ago 
      quarter. Sequentially, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2.1 million from the 
      fourth quarter of 2024 and decreased as a percentage of sales by 30bps. 
 
   -- Uses of cash for the quarter included net capital expenditures of $5.1 
      million and share repurchases of $11.2 million. 
 
   -- The Company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $304.8 million, 
      consisting of $80.0 million of cash (restricted and unrestricted) and 
      $224.7 million of availability under its credit facility with net debt 
      leverage of 3.6x. (1) See reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures in

Segment Reporting

Change in Reportable Segments: In the third quarter of 2024, as a result of the Source Atlantic Limited ("Source Atlantic") acquisition, we realigned our reportable segments by adding a new segment with a focus on the Canadian MRO market. The new Canada Branch Division segment includes the results of Source Atlantic and Bolt Supply House ("Bolt"). The results of Bolt had previously been included in our All Other non-reportable segment prior to Q3 2024. The results of the Lawson, TestEquity and Gexpro Services reportable segments did not change. The segment realignment had no impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Prior period segment results have been recast to reflect our new reportable segments.

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 March 31, 2025 and 2024 and the three months ended December 31, 2024. 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.
