DXP ENTERPRISES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

DXP Enterprises, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (collectively “DXP,” “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) was incorporated in Texas on July 26, 1996, to be the successor to SEPCO Industries, Inc. DXP Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of distributing maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products, equipment and service to industrial customers. The Company is organized into three segments: Service Centers, Supply Chain Services (SCS) and Innovative Pumping Solutions (IPS). See Note 12 for discussion of the business segments.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Foreign Currency

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using local currencies as their functional currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of consolidated comprehensive income.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s presentation of cash includes cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are defined as short-term investments with maturity dates of 90 days or less at time of purchase.

Receivables and Credit Risk

Trade receivables consist primarily of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, which usually require payment within 30 days of the invoice date. However, these payment terms are extended in select cases and customers may not pay within stated trade terms.

The Company has trade receivables from a diversified customer base located primarily in the Rocky Mountain, Northeastern, Midwestern, Southeastern and Southwestern regions of the United States, and Canada. The Company believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers' financial positions and monitors accounts on a regular basis, but generally does not require collateral. Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made monthly and adjustments are made periodically (as circumstances warrant) based upon management’s best estimate of the collectability of all such accounts. The Company writes-off uncollectible trade accounts receivable when the accounts are determined to be uncollectible. No customer represents more than 10% of consolidated sales.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“USGAAP”) establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. USGAAP prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

See Note 4 for further information regarding the Company’s financial instruments.

Inventories

Inventories consist principally of finished goods and are priced at lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Reserves are provided against inventories for estimated obsolescence based upon the aging of the inventories and market trends.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs of depreciable assets are charged against earnings as incurred. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and gains or losses are credited or charged to earnings.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Buildings	20-39 years
Building improvements	10-20 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3-20 years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of estimated useful life or related lease term

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company tests goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company assigns the carrying value of these intangible assets to its "reporting units" and applies the test for goodwill at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below a segment (a "component") if the component is a business and discrete information is prepared and reviewed regularly by segment management.

The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment first requires evaluating qualitative factors to determine if a reporting unit's carrying value would more likely than not exceed its fair value. If the Company concludes, based on the qualitative assessment, that a reporting unit's carrying value would more likely than not exceed its fair value, the Company would perform a two-step quantitative test for that reporting unit. When a quantitative assessment is performed, the first step is to identify a potential impairment, and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill is deemed to be impaired if the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. No impairment of goodwill was required in 2013 or 2012.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill

The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability on an annual basis and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. No impairment of long-lived assets was required in 2013 or 2012.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company uses restricted stock for stock-based compensation programs. The Company measures compensation cost with respect to equity instruments granted as stock-based payments to employees based upon the estimated fair value of the equity instruments at the date of the grant. The cost as measured is recognized as expense over the period which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

Revenue Recognition

For binding agreements to fabricate tangible assets to customer specifications, the Company recognizes revenues using the percentage of completion method. Under this method, revenues are recognized as costs are incurred and include estimated profits calculated on the basis of the relationship between costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Approximately $12.5 million of revenues were recognized on contracts in process as of March 31, 2013. If at any time expected costs exceed the value of the contract, the loss is recognized immediately. The typical time span of these contracts is approximately one to two years. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $5.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively, of unbilled costs and estimated earnings are included in accounts receivable.

For other sales, the Company recognizes revenues when an agreement is in place, the price is fixed, title for product passes to the customer or services have been provided and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes.

The Company reserves for potential customer returns based upon the historical level of returns.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company classifies shipping and handling charges billed to customers as sales. Shipping and handling charges paid to others are classified as a component of cost of sales.

Self-insured Insurance and Medical Claims

We generally retain up to $100,000 of risk for each claim for workers compensation, general liability, automobile and property loss. We accrue for the estimated loss on the self-insured portion of these claims. The accrual is adjusted quarterly based upon reported claims information. The actual cost could deviate from the recorded estimate.

We generally retain up to $200,000 of risk on each medical claim for our employees and their dependents. We accrue for the estimated outstanding balance of unpaid medical claims for our employees and their dependents. The accrual is adjusted monthly based on recent claims experience. The actual claims could deviate from recent claims experience and be materially different from the reserve.

The accrual for these claims at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was approximately $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Purchase Accounting

DXP estimates the fair value of assets, including property, machinery and equipment and their related useful lives and salvage values, intangibles and liabilities when allocating the purchase price of an acquisition. The fair value estimates are developed using the best information available. Third party valuation specialists assist in valuing the Company’s significant acquisitions.

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Cost of sales includes product and product related costs, inbound freight charges, internal transfer costs and depreciation. Selling, general and administrative expense includes purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, depreciation and amortization. DXP’s gross margins may not be comparable to those of other entities, since some entities include all of the costs related to their distribution network in cost of sales and others like DXP exclude a portion of these costs from gross margin, including the costs in a line item, such as selling, general and administrative expense.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities. The Company’s other comprehensive (loss) income is comprised of changes in the market value of an investment with quoted market prices in an active market for identical instruments and translation adjustments from translating foreign subsidiaries to the reporting currency.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance which requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e. a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U. S. federal, state and local tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2007. The Company's policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the fair value measurement guidance and disclosure requirements. The new requirements were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2011 and were to be applied prospectively. DXP adopted the new requirements in the first quarter of 2012; however, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. Fair value, as defined in the authoritative guidance, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance affects the fair value measurement of an investment with quoted market prices in an active market for identical instruments, which must be classified in one of the following categories:

Level 1 Inputs

Level 1 inputs come from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs

Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability. These inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which require the Company’s own assumptions.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following table presents the changes in Level 1 assets for the period indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013	2012

Fair value at beginning of period	$ 2,413	$ 1,679
Investment during period	-	-
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in other comprehensive income	(1,206)	(383)
Fair value at end of period	$ 1,207	$ 1,296

During the 2012 and 2011, the Company paid a total of $1.7 million for an investment with quoted market prices in an active market. At December 31, 2012, the market value of this investment was $2.4 million. At March 31, 2013, the market value of the investment was $1.2 million. The $1.2 million decrease in the market value during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was included in other comprehensive income.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company reduced estimated customer lists from our HSE acquisition by $2.8 million based on a valuation specialists’ report. This resulted in an increase in goodwill, net of recognized deferred tax liabilities associated with the adjustment. In addition, there was an increase to estimated intangibles for our Jerzy acquisition of approximately $0.3 million. See Note 11, Business Acquisitions.

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

	2013	2012

Line of credit	$ 91,932	$ 104,526
Term loan	124,844	130,000
Unsecured subordinated notes payable in quarterly installments at 5% through November 2015	3,512	3,870
	220,288	238,396
Less: Current portion	(22,057)	(22,057)
Total Long-term Debt	$ 198,231	$ 216,339

On July 11, 2012 DXP entered into a new credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank National Association, as Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent for the lenders. On December 31, 2012 the Company amended the agreement which increased the Credit Facility by $75 million (the “Facility”). The Facility consists of a $130 million term loan and a revolving credit facility that provides a $262.5 million line of credit to the Company as of March 31, 2013.

The line of credit portion of the Facility provides the option of interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% or prime plus an applicable margin from 0.25% to 1.25% where the applicable margin is determined by the Company’s leverage ratio as defined by the Facility at the date of borrowing. Rates for the term loan component ($124.8 million at March 31, 2013) are 25 basis points higher than the line of credit borrowings. Commitment fees of 0.20% to 0.40% per annum are payable on the portion of the Facility capacity not in use at any given time on the line of credit. Commitment fees are included as interest in the consolidated statements of income. Primarily because the leverage ratio was higher after the acquisition of HSE that occurred on July 11, 2012, interest rates in effect on July 11, 2012 were approximately 70 points higher than they were immediately prior to the acquisition.

On March 31, 2013, the LIBOR based rate on the line of credit portion of the Facility was LIBOR plus 1.50%, the prime based rate of the Facility was prime plus 0.50%, the LIBOR based rate on the term loan portion of the Facility was LIBOR plus 1.75% and the commitment fee was 0.25%. At March 31, 2013, $208.8 million was borrowed under the Facility at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.82% under the LIBOR options and $8.0 million was borrowed at 3.5% under the prime option. At March 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $133.4 million available for borrowing under the Facility.

The Facility expires on July 11, 2017. The Facility contains financial covenants defining various financial measures and levels of these measures with which the Company must comply. Covenant compliance is assessed as of each quarter end. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral to secure the credit facility.

NOTETE 9 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Restricted Stock

Under the restricted stock plan approved by our shareholders (the “Restricted Stock Plan”), directors, consultants and employees may be awarded shares of DXP’s common stock. The shares of restricted stock granted to employees and that are outstanding as of March 31, 2013 vest in accordance with one of the following vesting schedules: 100% one year after date of grant; 33.3% each year for three years after date of grant; 20% each year for five years after the grant date; or 10% each year for ten years after the grant date. The Restricted Stock Plan provides that on each July 1 during the term of the plan each non-employee director of DXP will be granted the number of whole shares calculated by dividing $75 thousand by the closing price of the common stock on such July 1. The shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee directors of DXP vest one year after the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured based upon the closing prices of DXP’s common stock on the grant dates and is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards. Once restricted stock vests, new shares of the Company’s stock are issued.

The following table provides certain information regarding the shares authorized and outstanding under the Restricted Stock Plan at March 31, 2013:

Number of shares authorized for grants	800,000
Number of shares granted	(768,671)
Number of shares forfeited	84,746
Number of shares available for future grants	116,075
Weighted-average grant price of granted shares	$ 22.87

NOTE 11 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective dates of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities is based on estimates of fair market value and may be prospectively revised if and when additional information the Company is awaiting concerning certain asset and liability valuations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition.

On January 31, 2012, DXP acquired substantially all of the assets of Mid-Continent Safety ("Mid-Continent").

DXP paid approximately $3.7 million for Mid-Continent, which was borrowed under our existing credit facility. Goodwill of $1.2 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Mid-Continent with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce. All of the goodwill is included in the Service Centers segment.

DXP paid approximately $8.1 million for Aledco which was borrowed under our existing credit facility. Goodwill of $3.4 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Aledco with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce. None of the estimated goodwill is expected to be tax deductible. All of the goodwill is included in the Service Centers segment.

On May 1, 2012, DXP completed the acquisition of Industrial Paramedic Services through its wholly owned subsidiary, DXP Canada Enterprises Ltd. Industrial Paramedic Services is a provider of industrial medical and safety services to industrial customers operating in remote locations and large facilities in western Canada. DXP acquired this business to expand DXP's geographic presence into Canada and to expand our safety services offering. Industrial Paramedic Services is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta and operates out of three locations in Calgary, Nisku and Dawson Creek. The $25.3 million purchase price was financed with $20.6 million of borrowings under DXP's existing credit facility, $2.5 million of promissory notes bearing a 5% interest rate and 19,685 shares of DXP common stock. Estimated goodwill of $12.1 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Industrial Paramedic Services with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce.

DXP paid approximately $2.7 million for ADI which was borrowed under our existing credit facility. Goodwill of $0.3 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of ADI with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, HSE shareholders received CDN $1.80 in cash per each common share of HSE held. The total transaction value is approximately $85 million, including approximately $4 million in debt and approximately $3 million in transaction costs. The purchase price was financed with borrowings under DXP’s credit facility. DXP acquired HSE to expand our industrial health and safety services offering. Estimated goodwill of $27.6 million was recognized for this acquisition. The estimate of goodwill for this acquisition is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of these companies with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce.

DXP paid approximately $5.3 million for Jerzy which was borrowed under our existing credit facility. No goodwill was recognized on the purchase.

The value assigned to the non-compete agreements and customer relationships for business acquisitions were determined by discounting the estimated cash flows associated with non-compete agreements and customer relationships as of the date the acquisition was consummated. The estimated cash flows were based on estimated revenues net of operating expenses and net of capital charges for assets that contribute to the projected cash flow from these assets. The projected revenues and operating expenses were estimated based on management estimates. Net capital charges for assets that contribute to projected cash flow were based on the estimated fair value of those assets. Discount rates of 17.0% to 28.2% were deemed appropriate for valuing these assets and were based on the risks associated with the respective cash flows taking into consideration the acquired company’s weighted average cost of capital.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, businesses acquired during 2012 contributed sales of $43.4 million and earnings before taxes of approximately $1.9 million.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during 2012 in connection with the acquisitions described above (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

SALES. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $37.8 million, or 15.0%, to approximately $290.1 million from $252.3 million for the prior corresponding period. Sales by businesses acquired since March 31, 2012 accounted for $41.1 million of first quarter 2013 sales. Excluding first quarter 2013 sales from businesses acquired in 2012, on a same store sales basis, sales for the first quarter in 2013 decreased 1.3% from the prior corresponding period. This sales decrease is primarily the result of two less business days in the 2013 first quarter compared to the prior corresponding period.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by 240 basis points compared with the prior corresponding period. This increase was primarily due to product mix as well as contributions made by acquired companies with higher gross profit margins.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by approximately $14.8 million to $66.4 million from $51.6 million for the prior corresponding period. Selling, general and administrative expense for acquisitions that occurred since March 31, 2012 accounted for $12.2 million of the 2013 increase, on a same store sales basis. Excluding first quarter expenses from businesses acquired since March 31, 2012, on a same store sales basis, the increase primarily related to increased health insurance costs, salaries, and commissions. As a percentage of sales, the first quarter 2013 expense increased to 22.9%, from 20.4% for the prior corresponding period primarily as a result of businesses acquired in 2012 having higher selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales combined with increased health insurance costs.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the first quarter of 2013 increased $2.8 million, or 14.1% compared to the prior corresponding period. This increase in operating income is the result the 15% increase in sales.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 96.3% from the prior corresponding period primarily due to the higher average outstanding balance of debt during the period. The increased debt was incurred to acquire additional businesses during 2012.

SERVICE CENTERS SEGMENT. Sales for the Service Centers segment increased by $35.0 million, or 20% for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the prior corresponding period. Excluding first quarter 2013 Service Centers segment sales from acquired businesses of $41.1 million, Service Centers segment sales for the first quarter of 2013 decreased 3.5% from the prior corresponding period, on a same store sales basis. This sales decrease is primarily the result of two less business days in the 2013 first quarter than the prior corresponding period. Operating income for the Service Centers segment increased 35%, primarily as a result of the 20% increase in sales along with a 310 basis point increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales. The increase in the gross profit percentage is primarily related to product mix and acquired companies that contributed higher gross profit margins.

INNOVATIVE PUMPING SOLUTIONS SEGMENT. Sales for the IPS segment increased by $2.1 million, or 5.3% for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the prior corresponding period. The sales increase resulted from the increase in capital spending by our oil and gas and mining related customers. Operating income for the IPS segment decreased 13.7% despite the increase in sales due to lower gross profit as a percentage of sales and increased selling and administrative expense. The gross profit margin declined as a result of product mix. Selling and administrative costs increased as a result of increased capacity.

SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES SEGMENT. Sales for the SCS segment increased by $0.7 million, or 1.9%, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the prior corresponding period. Operating income for the SCS segment increased 13.0% primarily as a result of an increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales. The increase in sales and gross profit as a percentage of sales is a result of new customers.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General Overview

As a distributor of MRO products and services, we require significant amounts of working capital to fund inventories and accounts receivable. Additional cash is required for capital items such as information technology, warehouse equipment and capital expenditures for our safety products and services category. We also require cash to pay our lease obligations and to service our debt.

The Company generated $16.9 million of cash in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $26.6 million during the prior corresponding period. This change between the two periods was primarily driven by changes in working capital.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the amount available to be borrowed under our credit agreement with our bank lender increased from $109.5 million at December 31, 2012 to $133.4 million at March 31, 2013. This increase in availability primarily resulted from pay down of debt.

Credit Facility

On July 11, 2012 DXP entered into a credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank National Association, as Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent for the lenders. On December 31, 2012 the Company amended the agreement which increased the Credit Facility by $75 million (the “Facility”). The Facility consists of a term loan and a revolving credit facility that provides a $262.5 million line of credit to the Company as of March 31, 2013. The term loan component of the facility was $124.8 million at March 31, 2013.

The line of credit portion of the Facility provides the option of interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% or prime plus an applicable margin from 0.25% to 1.25% where the applicable margin is determined by the Company’s leverage ratio as defined by the Facility at the date of borrowing. Rates for the term loan component are 25 basis points higher than the line of credit borrowings. Commitment fees of 0.20% to 0.40% per annum are payable on the portion of the Facility capacity not in use at any given time on the line of credit. Commitment fees are included as interest in the consolidated statements of income.

Primarily because the leverage ratio was higher after the acquisition of HSE that occurred on July 11, 2012, interest rates in effect on July 11, 2012 were approximately 70 basis points higher than they were immediately prior to the acquisition.

The Facility’s principal financial covenants include:

Consolidated Leverage Ratio – The Facility requires that the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, not exceed 3.5 to 1.0 as of the last day of each quarter from the closing date through March 31, 2015 and not to exceed 3.25 to 1.00 from June 30, 2015 and thereafter. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio is defined as the outstanding indebtedness divided by Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date. Indebtedness is defined under the Facility for financial covenant purposes as: (a) all obligations of DXP for borrowed money including but not limited to obligations evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments; (b) obligations to pay deferred purchase price of property or services; (c) capital lease obligations; (d) obligations under conditional sale or other title retention agreements relating to property purchased; (e) issued and outstanding letters of credit; and (f) contingent obligations for funded indebtedness. At March 31, 2013, the Company’s Leverage Ratio was 1.76 to 1.00.

Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio –The Facility requires that the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on the last day of each quarter be not less than 1.25 to 1.0 with “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” defined as the ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDA for the period of 4 consecutive fiscal quarters ending on such date minus capital expenditures during such period (excluding acquisitions) minus income tax expense paid minus the aggregate amount of restricted payments defined in the agreement to (b) the interest expense paid in cash, scheduled principal payments in respect of long-term debt and the current portion of capital lease obligations for such 12-month period, determined in each case on a consolidated basis for DXP and its subsidiaries. At March 31, 2013, the Company's Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 2.87 to 1.00.

Asset Coverage Ratio –The credit facility requires that the Asset Coverage Ratio at any time be not less than 1.0 to 1.0 with “Asset Coverage Ratio” defined as the ratio of (a) the sum of 85% of net accounts receivable plus 65% of net inventory to (b) the aggregate outstanding amount of the revolving credit outstandings on such date. At March 31, 2013, the Company's Asset Coverage Ratio was 2.44 to 1.00.

Consolidated EBITDA as defined under the Facility for financial covenant purposes means, without duplication, for any period the consolidated net income of DXP plus, to the extent deducted in calculating consolidated net income, depreciation, amortization (except to the extent that such non-cash charges are reserved for cash charges to be taken in the future), non-cash compensation including stock option or restricted stock expense, interest expense and income tax expense for taxes based on income, certain one-time costs associated with our acquisitions, integration costs, facility consolidation and closing costs, severance costs and expenses and one-time compensation costs in connection with the acquisition of HSE and any permitted acquisition, write-down of cash expenses incurred in connection with the existing credit agreement and extraordinary losses less interest income and extraordinary gains. Consolidated EBITDA shall be adjusted to give pro forma effect to disposals or business acquisitions assuming that such transaction(s) had occurred on the first day of the period excluding all income statement items attributable to the assets or equity interests that is subject to such disposition made during the period and including all income statement items attributable to property or equity interests of such acquisitions permitted under the Facility.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Leverage Ratio as of March 31, 2013 (in thousands, except for ratios):

For the Twelve Months ended March 31, 2013	Leverage Ratio

Income before taxes	$ 86,994
Interest expense	6,358
Depreciation and amortization	19,823
Stock compensation expense	2,248
Pro forma acquisition EBITDA	8,585
Other adjustments	1,709
(A) Defined EBITDA	$ 125,717

As of March 31, 2013
Total long-term debt	$ 220,288
Letters of credit outstanding	423
(B) Defined indebtedness	$ 220,711

Leverage Ratio (B)/(A)	1.76

Borrowings (in thousands):

	March 31, 2013	December 31, 2012	Increase (Decrease)
Current portion of long-term debt	$ 22,057	$ 22,057	$ -
Long-term debt, less current portion	198,231	216,339	(18,108)
Total long-term debt	$ 220,288	$ 238,396	$ (18,108) (2)
Amount available	$ 133,361(1)	$ 109,530(1)	$ 23,831(3)
(1) Represents amount available to be borrowed at the indicated date under the Facility. (2) Funds to pay down debt were primarily obtained from cash flows from operations. (3) The increase in the amount available is primarily the result of the $18.1 million reduction in debt combined with the effect of the increase in the accounts receivable within the asset test as defined by the loan agreement.

Performance Metrics (in days):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
			Increase
	2013	2012	(Decrease)

Days of sales outstanding	61.0	55.1	5.9
Inventory turns	8.2	7.7	0.5

Accounts receivable days of sales outstanding were 61.0 days at March 31, 2013 compared to 55.1 days at March 31, 2012. The increase resulted from higher than average days of sales outstanding at our 2012 business acquisitions. Inventory turns were 8.2 at March 31, 2013 and 7.7 at March 31, 2012. The increase in inventory turns primarily resulted from the acquisitions of Industrial Paramedic Services and HSE which have very little inventory.

Funding Commitments

We believe our cash generated from operations and cash available under our credit facility will meet our normal working capital needs during the next twelve months. However, we may require additional debt or equity financing to fund potential acquisitions. Such additional financings may include additional bank debt or the public or private sale of debt or equity securities. In connection with any such financing, we may issue securities that substantially dilute the interests of our shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on attractive terms, if at all.

Share Repurchases

On October 26, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized DXP from time to time to purchase up to 200,000 shares of DXP's common stock over 24 months. DXP publicly announced the authorization that day. Purchases may be made in open market or in privately negotiated transactions. DXP had purchased 76,300 shares under this authorization as of March 31, 2013.

Acquisitions

DISCUSSION OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS POLICIES

Critical accounting and business policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial position and results of operations, and require management’s subjective or complex judgments. These policies have been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of DXP. Below is a discussion of what we believe are our critical accounting policies.

Foreign Currency

Use of Estimates

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s presentation of cash includes cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are defined as short-term investments with maturity dates of 90 days or less at time of purchase.

Receivables and Credit Risk

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Inventories

Property and Equipment

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Buildings	20-39 years
Building improvements	10-20 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3-20 years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of estimated useful life or related lease term

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill

Stock-based Compensation

Revenue Recognition

The Company reserves for potential customer returns based upon the historical level of returns.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company classifies shipping and handling charges billed to customers as sales. Shipping and handling charges paid to others are classified as a component of cost of sales.

Self-insured Insurance and Medical Claims

The accrual for these claims at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was approximately $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Purchase Accounting

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Income Taxes

Comprehensive Income

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Our market risk results from volatility in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our debt portfolio. Using floating interest rate debt outstanding at March 31, 2013, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in approximately a $2.2 million change in annual interest expense.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was evaluated by our management with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, David R. Little (principal executive officer), and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Mac McConnell (principal financial officer). Messrs. Little and McConnell have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to help ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file with the SEC is accumulated and communicated to management and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by the SEC.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter (the quarter ended March 31, 2013) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

No material changes have occurred from risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

DXP issued 52,542 unregistered shares of DXP Common Stock as part of the consideration for the April 16, 2013 acquisition of National Process Equipment, Inc. The unregistered shares were issued to stockholders of National Process Equipment, Inc.

We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Exchange Act as a basis for exemption from registration. All issuances were as a result of private negotiation, and not pursuant to public solicitation. In addition, we believe the shares were issued to “accredited investors” as defined by Rule 501 of the Securities Act.
