Its Service Centers segment sells over 1,000,000 items (60,000+ SKUs) across 164 facilities and 4 distribution centers. The Innovative Pumping Solutions segment designs, engineers, and fabricates custom pump skid packages and remanufactures pumps. Supply Chain Services manages customer sites and provides outsourcing for industrial supply chains.
Revenue drivers
- Service Centers (SC) — Largest segment; 2025 sales of $1.37 billion (68% of total), up from $1.24B in 2024; operates 168 facilities; 2025 operating margin 14.4%.
- Innovative Pumping Solutions (IPS) — Focused on custom pump packages and water/wastewater capital equipment; 2025 sales of $390 million, up 26% year-over-year; 36 facilities; 2025 operating margin 16.6%.

Recent performance
For Q2 2026 (three months ended June 30, 2026), sales rose 15.6% year-over-year to $576.5 million. Net income was $28.7 million (up 21.6%) and diluted EPS was $1.76. Adjusted EBITDA reached $70.4 million (12.2% margin), and free cash flow was $29.8 million. Organic sales were $526.6 million, with acquisitions adding $49.8 million.
Strategy
DXP growth strategy combines organic growth with acquisitions. Management completed four acquisitions in the first half of 2026 and expects to close more. They are integrating acquired businesses, pursuing bolt-on deals, and using a strong balance sheet (cash of $226.6 million) to fund growth. They aim to sustain EBITDA margins and generate strong cash flow.
Risks
- Acquisition integration risk — Four acquisitions completed in 2026; failure to integrate them effectively could hurt financial results and operational performance.
- High leverage — Long-term debt stood at $816.4 million as of June 30, 2026, with total debt of $842.5 million; covenant EBITDA of $267.3 million; secured leverage ratio at 2.30x.
- Energy end-market exposure — A significant portion of sales depends on oil and gas customers; declining prices or capital expenditure cuts could reduce demand for MRO products.
- Macroeconomic uncertainty — Management cites fiscal uncertainty, cautious central bank policies, market volatility, and geopolitical concerns as risks to forward performance.
Outlook
Management expects to finish fiscal 2026 with strong momentum, citing solid organic performance, acquisition contributions, and strength across all three segments. They plan to close more acquisitions in the second half of 2026. The macro environment remains uncertain, but management believes DXP is well positioned.
