Distribution Solutions Group (NASDAQ: DSGR) erzielte im zweiten Quartal 2025 ein solides Umsatz- und Margenwachstum. Der Umsatz stieg im Jahresvergleich um 14,3 % auf 502,4 Millionen US-Dollar, angetrieben durch k眉rzliche Akquisitionen sowie eine st盲rkere Nachfrage in den USA und Kanada. Das Betriebsergebnis stieg um 89 % auf 26,8 Millionen US-Dollar, wodurch die operative Marge auf 5,3 % (vorher 3,2 %) anstieg. Der Nettogewinn erreichte 5,0 Millionen US-Dollar (verw盲ssertes Ergebnis je Aktie von 0,11 US-Dollar) gegen眉ber 1,9 Millionen (0,04 US-Dollar) im Vorjahr, trotz eines um 12 % gestiegenen Zinsaufwands.
Im bisherigen Jahresverlauf stiegen die Erl枚se um 14,6 % auf 980,5 Millionen US-Dollar, und das Unternehmen drehte von einem Verlust von 3,3 Millionen zu einem Gewinn von 8,3 Millionen US-Dollar. Der operative Cashflow betrug 28,5 Millionen US-Dollar und unterst眉tzte Aktienr眉ckk盲ufe in H枚he von 20,0 Millionen. Die liquiden Mittel beliefen sich auf 47,4 Millionen US-Dollar, die Gesamtverschuldung auf 720,6 Millionen, was eine Nettoverschuldung von etwa dem 1,1-fachen des Eigenkapitals ergibt. Gesch盲fts- und Firmenwert sowie immaterielle Verm枚genswerte machen 718 Millionen US-Dollar (41 % der Verm枚genswerte) aus, was das akquisitionsgetriebene Wachstum unterstreicht. Das Management setzt die Integration der Akquisitionen aus 2024 (Source Atlantic, S&S Automotive, weitere) fort und hat die Segmente neu ausgerichtet, die nun Lawson, TestEquity, Gexpro Services und die Canada Branch Division umfassen. Eine Prognose wurde nicht abgegeben.
Positive
- Revenue up 14.3% YoY to $502.4 million, outpacing many industrial distributors.
- Operating income up 89%, driving margin expansion to 5.3%.
- Return to profitability YTD ($8.3 million vs. $3.3 million loss).
- Strong operating cash flow of $28.5 million supports capital returns.
- Successful integration of 2024 acquisitions evidenced by segment realignment and growth.
Negative
- Total debt $720.6 million with interest expense up 11% YoY, pressuring net income.
- Effective tax rate 57.8% materially above statutory rate, constraining earnings.
- Goodwill & intangibles $718 million (41% of assets) heighten impairment risk.
- Gross margin slipped 60 bps to 33.9% amid product mix and inflation.
- $20 million in buybacks despite high leverage may concern risk-averse investors.
Insights
TL;DR: Double-digit revenue & operating margin gains signal successful M&A integration; leverage and tax rate temper upside.
Q2 shows the first clean quarter with full contributions from 2024 deals. Organic/bolt-on mix drove 14% revenue growth while SG&A discipline improved EBIT by 270 bps. Interest expense absorbed half of EBIT gains, highlighting sensitivity to rates with $721 million of variable-rate debt. Cash conversion remains healthy (OFCF 鈮�60% of EBIT YTD), enabling buybacks, yet free cash is dwarfed by leverage. Overall, results beat typical mid-single-digit industry growth and support a modestly positive outlook, contingent on continued integration and rate stability.
TL;DR: Elevated debt, 58% effective tax rate and goodwill concentration create medium-term balance-sheet risk.
Net leverage (debt/equity 鈮�1.1脳) and interest cover (~2脳 for Q2) remain within covenants but reduce flexibility if rates rise or earnings falter. Goodwill/intangibles at 41% of assets raise impairment exposure, especially as integration synergies are yet to fully materialize. The 57.8% tax rate inflated cash taxes; any further valuation-allowance adjustments could add volatility. Stock buybacks divert cash from debt reduction, a point of potential investor scrutiny. Overall impact: neutral-to-slightly negative given balance-sheet optics.

Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Distribution Solutions Group, Inc. (“DSG”), a Delaware corporation, is a global specialty distribution company providing value added distribution solutions to the maintenance, repair and operations (“MRO”), original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and industrial technology markets.
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “DSG”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” refer to Distribution Solutions Group, Inc., and all entities consolidated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reportable Segments and Nature of Operations
Change in Reportable Segments
In connection with the Source Atlantic Transaction (as defined in Note 3 – Business and Asset Acquisitions) during the third quarter of 2024, the Company realigned its reportable segments to align with our business strategy and the manner in which our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") assesses performance and strategic execution and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources.
Prior to the third quarter of 2024, the Company had three reportable segments: Lawson, TestEquity and Gexpro Services. The Company also had an “All Other” category which included unallocated DSG holding company costs that were not directly attributable to the ongoing operating activities of our reportable segments and included the results of the Bolt Supply House (“Bolt”) non-reportable segment. Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, the Company has four
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. Additional information regarding DSG’s reportable segments is presented in Note 14 – Segment Information.
Nature of Operations
A summary of the nature of operations for our reportable segments is presented below.
Lawson is a distributor of specialty products and services to the industrial, commercial, institutional and governmental MRO marketplace. Lawson primarily distributes MRO products to its customers through a network of sales representatives and an inside sales channel throughout the United States and Canada.
TestEquity is a distributor of test and measurement equipment and solutions, industrial and electronic production supplies, vendor managed inventory programs, and converting, fabrication and adhesive solutions from its leading manufacturer partners supporting the aerospace and defense, wireless and communication, semiconductors, industrial electronics and automotive, and electronics manufacturing industries.
Gexpro Services is a global supply chain solutions provider, specializing in the development of mission critical production line management, aftermarket and field installation programs.
Canada Branch Division combines the operations of our Bolt and Source Atlantic subsidiaries, which distribute industrial MRO supplies, safety products, fasteners, power tools and related value-add services to the Canadian MRO market through the sale of products and services via warehouse shipments and to its walk-up customers through 37 branch locations.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
Period-end Dates: The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, except for the subsidiaries in the Gexpro Services segment, operate on a calendar year-end. Gexpro Services operates on a calendar year-end for annual reporting purposes. However, quarterly financial statements for Gexpro Services are prepared on financial close dates that may differ from that of the Company. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, there was a two day difference in the period end. The consolidated financial statement impact of the two day difference arising from the different period ends for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was not material. The Company utilizes the exchange rates in effect at Gexpro Services’ reporting date and the appropriate weighted-average rate for its fiscal reporting period.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There were no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in DSG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 2 of the 2024 consolidated financial statements included in DSG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further details of the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to require greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The pronouncement is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income, which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items within the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity (VIE), which clarifies the guidance in determining the acquirer in an acquisition transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business. The pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.
Note 3 – Business and Asset Acquisitions
DSG and its operating companies acquired businesses during the year ended December 31, 2024. The acquisitions were accounted for under ASC 805, the acquisition method of accounting. For each acquisition, the allocation of consideration exchanged to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on estimated acquisition-date fair values. The final valuations will be completed within the one-year measurement period following the respective acquisition date, and any adjustments will be recorded in the period in which the adjustments are determined.

2024 Acquisitions
ConRes Test Equipment
On November 18, 2024, DSG acquired the assets of ConRes Test Equipment, (“ConRes TE” and the “ConRes TE Transaction”), for a purchase price of approximately $17.0 million. These assets were acquired to expand TestEquity’s test equipment offerings and value-add service capabilities in all of our end markets. The results of operations from the additional assets acquired from ConRes TE are included within the TestEquity reportable segment. The acquisition was funded using DSG’s cash on hand and its revolving credit facility. This acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the acquired assets were concentrated in property, plant and equipment.
The following table summarizes the allocation of consideration exchanged to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The customer relationships and trade names intangible assets have estimated useful lives of ten years . Goodwill generated from the TCR Transaction is no t deductible for tax purposes and is primarily attributable to the benefits we expect to derive from expected synergies, including expanded product and service offerings and cross-selling opportunities.

(1) Accounts receivable had an estimated fair value of $33.7 million and a gross contractual value of $34.3 million. The difference represents the Company’s best estimate of the contractual cash flows that will not be collected.
(2) The Company paid $1.0 0.0 million and during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Following the initial fair value measurement, the Company updated the purchase price allocation for Source Atlantic primarily related to the ongoing review of the opening balance sheet and revised certain assumptions used in estimating the fair value. The adjustments resulted in a $2.0 million increase to customer relationships and trade names, a $0.7 million decrease to goodwill. Total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired increased due to working capital and other adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement of $0.3 million. The accounting for the Source Atlantic Transaction was completed during the second quarter of 2025.
The customer relationships and trade names intangible assets have estimated useful lives of 17 years and 8 years, respectively. Goodwill generated from the Source Atlantic Transaction is not deductible for tax purposes and is primarily attributable to the benefits we expect to derive from expected synergies, including expanded product and service offerings and cross-selling opportunities.

(1) The Company paid $0.2 0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Following the initial fair value measurement, the Company updated the purchase price allocation for S&S Automotive primarily related to the ongoing review of the opening balance sheet and revised certain assumptions used in estimating the fair value. The adjustments resulted in a $7.0 million decrease to customer relationships and trade names and a $7.4 million increase to goodwill. The accounting for the S&S Automotive Transaction was completed during the first quarter of 2025.
The customer relationships and trade names intangible assets have estimated useful lives of 17 years and 8 years, respectively. As a result of the S&S Automotive Transaction, the Company recorded tax deductible goodwill of $34.3 million in 2024 that may result in a tax benefit in future periods and is primarily attributable to the benefits we expect to derive from expected synergies, including expanded product and service offerings and cross-selling opportunities.

Note 8 – Earnout Liabilities
Frontier Acquisition
On March 31, 2022, Gexpro Services acquired Frontier Technologies Brewton, LLC and Frontier Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. ("Frontier"). The consideration for the Frontier acquisition included a potential earn-out payment of up to $3.0 million based upon the achievement of certain milestones and relative thresholds during the earn-out measurement period, which ended on December 31, 2024, with payments made annually beginning in 2023 and ending in 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, a $2.0 million earn-out payment was made based on the achievement of certain milestones in 2024 and cumulatively during the earn-out period. No earn-out payment was made in 2024 based on certain milestones not met in 2023. During the first quarter of 2023, a $1.0 million earn-out payment was made based on the achievement of certain milestones in 2022. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was classified as a Level 3 instrument and was determined using a probability-based scenario analysis approach. As of March 31, 2022 (the Frontier acquisition date), December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025, the fair value of the earn-out was $0.9 million, $1.0 million and $0.0 million , respectively, with amounts recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recorded expense of $0.0 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and expense of $0.0

On March 31, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), which amended the previous credit agreement dated as of April 1, 2022 (as amended by the First Amendment dated June 8, 2023, the Second Amendment dated June 13, 2024, the Third Amendment dated August 14, 2024, and the Fourth Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Fourth Amendment increased the aggregate amount of restricted payments permitted under the Amended Credit Agreement during any fiscal year, subject to certain conditions, from $10 million to $25 million.
As amended, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $255 million senior secured revolving credit facility, with a $25 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $10 million swingline loan sub-facility, (ii) a $250 million senior secured initial term loan facility, (iii) $505 million of incremental term loans, (iv) a $50 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility and (v) the Company to increase the commitments thereunder from time to time by up to $300 million in the aggregate, subject to, among other things, the receipt of additional commitments from existing and/or new lenders and pro forma compliance with certain financial covenants.
The Company has unused outstanding letters of credit of $2.3 million as of June 30, 2025. Net of these letters of credit, there was $252.7 million of borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2025.
The Second Amendment dated June 13, 2024 replaced a specified benchmark interest rate for certain loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, whereby effective June 28, 2024, the CDOR Rate was replaced with the CORRA Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The additional margin range did not change. As amended, loans under the
23
Table of Contents
Amended Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 0.0 % to 1.75 % per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) or the CORRA Rate, plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 1.0 % to 2.75 % per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Amended Credit Agreement requires that the proceeds of any revolving credit facility loans be used for working capital and general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, permitted acquisitions), and requires that the proceeds of any delayed draw term loan facility be used solely to finance the payment of consideration for acquisitions permitted under the Amended Credit Agreement, and for any fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
The Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to pay certain closing fees, arrangement fees, administration fees, commitment fees, ticking fees and letter of credit fees. These fees are reported as a component of Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and vary depending on the total net leverage ratio as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. Fees were nominal in 2025 and 2024.
On August 14, 2024, the Company incurred deferred financing costs of $1.8 million associated with the Third Amendment. Deferred financing costs of $3.4 million were incurred during 2023 in connection with the First Amendment dated June 8, 2023, and deferred financing costs of $4.0 million were incurred during 2022 in connection with the previous credit agreement. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the debt instrument and reported as a component of Interest expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Amortization of deferred financing costs was $0.9 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, total deferred financing costs net of accumulated amortization were $5.8 million of which $4.3 million are included in Long-term debt, less current portion, net (related to the senior secured term loan, senior secured delayed draw term loan and incremental term loans) and $1.5 million are included in Other assets (related to the senior secured revolving credit facility) in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Each of the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement mature on April 1, 2027, at which time all outstanding loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, must be repaid and the revolving credit facility commitments will terminate. Future maturities of long-term debt are $40.3 659.1 million due in 2027 upon maturity. The Company is also required to prepay the term loans with the net cash proceeds from any disposition of certain assets (subject to reinvestment rights) or from the incurrence of any unpermitted debt. The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow the revolving loans until April 1, 2027, prepay any of the term loans, and terminate any of the commitments, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions and the reimbursement of certain lender costs in the case of prepayments of certain types of loans.
Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, the obligations of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and the obligations of each of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries.
Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on substantially all assets of the Company, each other borrower and each guarantor.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including financial maintenance covenants requiring the Company to maintain compliance with a consolidated minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total net leverage ratio, each determined in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement contains various events of default (subject to exceptions, thresholds and grace periods as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement). Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all obligations at a rate equal to 2.0 % per annum above the applicable interest rate. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2025.

Note 13 – Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $6.9 million, a 57.8 % effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025. An income tax benefit of $0.2 million, a (10.5 )% effective tax rate was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, foreign income and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to discrete items recorded during the quarter and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $9.1 million, a 52.4 % effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025. An income tax benefit of $4.3 million, a 56.1 % effective tax rate was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Table of Contents
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, foreign income and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, foreign income and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2025, the Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for the years 2021 through 2023 and income tax examinations from various other jurisdictions for the years 2017 through 2024.
Earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. A distribution of these non-U.S. earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise would subject the company to foreign withholding taxes and may subject the Company to U.S. federal and state taxes. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to indefinitely reinvested profits is not feasible primarily due to the Company’s legal entity structure and the complexity of U.S. tax laws.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. In accordance with GAAP, the Company will account for the tax effects of changes in tax law in the period of enactment, which is third quarter of calendar year 2025. The Company is evaluating the future impact of these tax law changes on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 14 – Segment Information
As a result of the Source Atlantic acquisition in the third quarter of 2024, discussed in Note 3 – Business and Asset Acquisitions, the Company realigned its reportable segments to align with its business strategy and the manner in which the CODM assesses performance and strategic execution and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer of DSG. For each reportable segment, the CODM uses segment operating income (loss) to allocate resources (including employees and financial resources) in a way to manage and grow margins.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, the Company has four
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. A description of our reportable segments is as follows:
Lawson is a distributor of specialty products and services to the industrial, commercial, institutional and governmental MRO marketplace. Lawson primarily distributes MRO products to its customers through a network of sales representatives and an inside sales channel throughout the United States and Canada.
TestEquity is a distributor of test and measurement equipment and solutions, industrial and electronic production supplies, vendor managed inventory programs, and converting, fabrication and adhesive solutions from its leading manufacturer partners supporting the aerospace and defense, wireless and communication, semiconductors, industrial electronics and automotive, and electronics manufacturing industries.
Gexpro Services is a global supply chain solutions provider, specializing in the development of mission critical production line management, aftermarket and field installation programs.
Canada Branch Division combines the operations of our Bolt and Source Atlantic subsidiaries, which distribute industrial MRO supplies, safety products, fasteners, power tools and related value-add services to the Canadian MRO market through the sale of products and services via warehouse shipments and to its walk-up customers through 37 branch locations.
The Company also has an “All Other” category which includes unallocated DSG holding company costs that are not directly attributable to the ongoing operating activities of our reportable segments. There is no revenue associated with the All Other category.

Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies
Cyber Incident Litigation
On February 10, 2022, DSG disclosed that its computer network was the subject of a cyber incident potentially involving unauthorized access to certain confidential information (the “Cyber Incident”). On April 4, 2023, a putative class action lawsuit (the “Cyber Incident Suit”) was filed against DSG entitled Lardone Davis, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, v. Lawson Products, Inc., Case No. 1:23-cv-02118, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The plaintiff in this case, who purported to represent the class of individuals harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by DSG in connection with the Cyber Incident, asserted a variety of common law and statutory claims and sought monetary damages, injunctive relief and other related relief related to the potential unauthorized access by third parties to personal identifiable information and protected health information. On April 10, 2025, DSG entered into a settlement agreement that resolved all of the alleged claims in exchange for a settlement payment. The amount of the settlement payment was not material and was covered in its entirety by insurance.
Environmental Matter
In 2012, it was determined that a Company-owned site in Decatur, Alabama, contained hazardous substances in the soil and groundwater as a result of historical operations prior to the Company’s ownership. The Company retained an environmental consulting firm to further investigate the contamination, prepare a remediation plan, and enroll the site in the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (“ADEM”) voluntary cleanup program.
A remediation plan was approved by ADEM in 2018. The plan consists of chemical injections throughout the affected area, as well as subsequent monitoring of the area. The injection process was completed in the first quarter of 2019 and the environmental consulting firm is monitoring the affected area. At June 30, 2025 the Company had approximately $0.1 million accrued for potential monitoring costs included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The costs for future monitoring are not significant and have been fully accrued. The Company does not expect to capitalize any amounts related to the remediation plan.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of DSG’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and other information included in DSG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2024.
References to “DSG”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” refer to Distribution Solutions Group, Inc. and all entities consolidated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Overview
DSG is a multi-platform specialty distribution company providing high touch, value-added distribution solutions to the maintenance, repair and operations (“MRO”), the original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and the industrial technologies markets.
We manage and report our operating results through four reportable segments: Lawson, TestEquity, Gexpro Services and Canada Branch Division. In connection with the Source Atlantic Limited acquisition (as described in Note 3 – Business and Asset Acquisitions within Item 1. Financial Statements) during the third quarter of 2024, the Company realigned its reportable segments. Prior period segment results have been recast to reflect our new reportable segments. A summary of our reportable segments is presented below. For additional details about our segments and the segment realignment in the third quarter of 2024, see Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation and Note 14 – Segment Information, within Item 1. Financial Statements.
Lawson is a distributor of specialty products and services to the industrial, commercial, institutional and governmental MRO marketplace. Lawson primarily distributes MRO products to its customers through a network of sales representatives and an inside sales channel throughout the United States and Canada.
TestEquity is a distributor of test and measurement equipment and solutions, industrial and electronic production supplies, vendor managed inventory programs, and converting, fabrication and adhesive solutions from its leading manufacturer partners supporting the aerospace and defense, wireless and communication, semiconductors, industrial electronics and automotive, and electronics manufacturing industries.
Gexpro Services is a global supply chain solutions provider, specializing in the development of mission critical production line management, aftermarket and field installation programs.
Canada Branch Division combines the operations of our Bolt Supply House (“Bolt”) and Source Atlantic Limited subsidiaries, which distribute industrial MRO supplies, safety products, fasteners, power tools and related value-add services to the Canadian MRO market through the sale of products and services via warehouse shipments and to its walk-up customers through 37 branch locations.
In addition to these four reportable segments, we have an “All Other” category which includes unallocated DSG holding company costs that are not directly attributable to the ongoing operating activities of our reportable segments.
Organic Growth Strategy
We intend to grow our businesses organically by exploring growth opportunities that provide different channels to reach customers, increase revenue and generate positive results. We plan to utilize our Company structure to grow organic revenue through collaborative selling across our diverse customer base and expanding the digital capabilities across our platform.
Acquisition Strategy
In addition to organic growth, we plan to actively pursue acquisition opportunities complementary to our businesses and that we believe will be financially accretive to our organization.
Sales Drivers

Table of Contents
DSG believes that the Purchasing Managers Index (“PMI”) published by the Institute for Supply Management is an indicative measure of the relative strength of the economic environment of the industry in which it operates. The PMI is a composite index of economic activity in the U.S. manufacturing sector. A measure of the PMI index above 50 is generally viewed as indicating an expansion of the manufacturing sector while a measure below 50 is generally viewed as representing a contraction. The average monthly PMI was 49.4 in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 48.9 in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Lawson Sales Drivers
The North American MRO market is highly fragmented. Lawson competes for business with several national distributors as well as a large number of regional and local distributors. The MRO business is impacted by the overall strength of the manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy.
Lawson’s revenue is also influenced by the number of sales representatives and their productivity. Lawson plans to continue concentrating its efforts on increasing the productivity and size of its sales team. Additionally, Lawson drives revenue through the expansion of products sold to existing customers as well as attracting new customers and additional ship-to locations. Lawson also utilizes an inside sales team to help drive field sales representative productivity and also utilizes an e-commerce site to generate sales.
TestEquity Sales Drivers
The North American market for test and measurement, industrial, and electronic production supplies is highly fragmented, with competition ranging from global to regional distributors. TestEquity stands out through its portfolio of specialized brands, technical knowledge, and digital platforms, each tailored to serve specific needs across the electronics lifecycle. These brands maintain unique identities and address every stage of the electronics process—from R&D to assembly and ongoing maintenance. This multi-brand approach enables TestEquity to offer an extensive product range, expert support, and tailored technical solutions, positioning it as a trusted partner across diverse customer requirements.
Revenue growth is fueled by TestEquity’s comprehensive catalog of test and measurement equipment, electronic production supplies, and industrial tools, supported by a high-touch, consultative sales model. Strategic acquisitions have expanded its customer base and strengthened recurring rental revenue. We believe that continued investments in e-commerce, rising demand from high-growth sectors like aerospace and telecommunications, and TestEquity’s strong positioning as a preferred vendor amid supplier consolidation will contribute to sustained momentum and long-term value creation.
Gexpro Services Sales Drivers
The global supply chain solutions market is highly fragmented across Gexpro Services’ key vertical segments. Gexpro Services’ competitors range from large global distributors and manufacturers to small regional domestic distributors and manufacturers. Gexpro Services’ revenue is influenced by our OEMs’ production schedules, new product introduction launches, and service project needs.
Gexpro Services’ strategy is to increase revenue through increasing wallet share with existing customers, customer-led geographic expansion, new customer development in its six key vertical markets and leveraging its portfolio of recent acquisitions to expand its installation and aftermarket services.
Canada Branch Division Sales Drivers
Canada Branch Division combines the operations of our Bolt and Source Atlantic subsidiaries, which distribute industrial MRO supplies, safety products, fasteners, power tools and related value-add services to the Canadian MRO market through the sale of products and services via warehouse shipments and to its walk-up customers through 37 branch locations. Source Atlantic was acquired to expand DSG’s operating footprint in the Canadian market.
Canada Branch Division’s strategy is to grow revenue through increasing wallet share with existing customers, via introduction of new product lines and services in geographic areas that were underserviced previously. Additionally, Canada Branch Division will engage new customers and additional ship-to locations with its national sales team.

Supply Chain Disruptions
We continue to be affected by rising supplier costs caused by inflation and increased tariffs, transportation and labor costs. We have instituted various price increases during 2024 and 2025 in response to rising supplier costs including tariffs, as well as increased transportation and labor costs in order to manage our gross profit margins.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is contained within Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in DSG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes to our previously disclosed critical accounting policies and use of estimates. The following provides information on the accounts requiring more significant estimates.
Income Taxes - Deferred tax assets or liabilities reflect temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. Such amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions as well as deferred tax asset and liability balances, including the estimation of valuation allowances and the evaluation of uncertain tax positions.
Goodwill Impairment - Goodwill represents the cost of business acquisitions in excess of the fair value of identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company reviews goodwill for potential impairment annually on October 1st, or when an event or other circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying value.
The first step in the multi-step process to determine if goodwill has been impaired and to what degree is to review the relevant qualitative factors that could cause the fair value of the reporting unit to decrease below the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company considers factors such as macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant factors that would affect the individual reporting units. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit, then no further impairment testing is needed. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company will move to the next step in the process. The Company will estimate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit’s carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company will record an impairment of goodwill equal to the amount the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill previously recognized.
Business Combinations - We allocate the purchase price paid for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with our acquisitions based on their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition. This allocation involves a number of assumptions, estimates, and judgments in determining the fair value, as of the acquisition date, of the following:
•intangible assets, including the valuation methodology (the relief of royalty method for trade names and multi-period excess earnings method for customer relationships), estimations of future cash flows, discount rates, royalty rates, recurring revenue attributed to customer relationships, and our assumed market segment share, as well as the estimated useful life of intangible assets;
•deferred tax assets and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, and tax-related valuation allowances;
•inventory;
•property, plant and equipment;
•pre-existing liabilities or legal claims;
•contingent consideration, including estimating the likelihood and timing of achieving the relevant thresholds; and
•goodwill as measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
Our assumptions and estimates are based upon comparable market data and information obtained from our management and the management of the acquired companies. We allocate goodwill to the reporting units of the business that are expected to benefit from the business combination.
Factors Affecting Comparability to Prior Periods
33
Table of Contents
Our results of operations are not directly comparable on a year-over-year basis due to various prior acquisitions. We account for acquisitions under Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Accordingly, the results of acquisitions are only included subsequent to their respective acquisition dates. Refer to Note 3 – Business and Asset Acquisitions within Item 1. Financial Statements for a description of each acquisition completed in 2024 and the reportable segment in which each acquisition’s respective results of operations are included.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain infrequently occurring, seasonal or non-operational items that impact the overall comparability. These 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.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the Company’s operating performance and may provide investors with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-operational or non-cash items whose fluctuations from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operating performance of our business and consequently may impact the overall comparability from period to period. We define Adjusted EBITDA as operating income plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, severance and acquisition related retention costs, costs related to the execution and integration of acquisitions, amortization of the fair value step-up of inventory resulting from acquisitions and other non-recurring items. Management uses operating income and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of its reportable segments. See Note 14 – Segment Information within Item 1. Financial Statements for additional information about our reportable segments.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and Operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA by segment is not provided because management does not determine or review net income at the segment level and does not allocate non-operating costs and expenses to its segments, such as income taxes, interest expense, and various other non-operating income and expense.

Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenue increased $3.2 million, or 2.6%, to $124.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $121.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $4.4 million of additional revenue generated from the acquisitions completed in 2024, partially offset by a decline in legacy Lawson revenue of $1.2 million primarily driven by lower military customer revenue.
Gross profit increased $2.2 million, or 3.3%, to $68.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to gross profit of $66.4 million in the prior year quarter primarily as a result of the inclusion of $3.0 million of additional gross profit from the acquisitions completed in 2024. This was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit on lower legacy Lawson revenue. Lawson gross profit as a percent of revenue was 55.2% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 54.8% in the prior year quarter. The gross profit margin percentage increase was primarily due to lower amortization of the fair value step-up of inventory of $0.6 million related to the S&S Automotive Transaction and price increases partially offset by increased vendor costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation and support for Lawson sales representatives and expenses to operate Lawson’s distribution network and overhead expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at $60.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $60.3 million in the prior year quarter. Approximately $1.4 million of higher depreciation and amortization, $1.4 million of higher incentive costs and $1.4 million of higher stock-based compensation expense were partially offset by $0.3 million of lower expense generated by the acquisitions completed in 2024 and a decrease in severance and merger and acquisition expenses of $1.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, Lawson generated Adjusted EBITDA of $15.7 million, a decrease of $0.8 million from the same period a year ago primarily driven by contributions of approximately $1.5 million of additional Adjusted EBITDA generated by the acquisitions completed in 2024 offset by lower net margins on lower organic revenue.

Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenue decreased $2.4 million, or 1.2%, to $195.0 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $197.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in electronic production supplies sales due to market uncertainty around tariffs.
Gross profit decreased $3.2 million to $42.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to gross profit of $45.8 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by higher depreciation expense due to an expanded rental equipment fleet from the acquisition of ConRes TE. TestEquity gross profit as a percent of revenue decreased to 21.8% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 23.2% in the prior year quarter primarily due to higher depreciation expense.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation and support for TestEquity’s sales representatives and expenses to operate TestEquity’s distribution network and overhead expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $7.3 million to $37.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $45.1 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by lower severance and acquisition related retention expenses of $6.3 million, lower merger and acquisition expenses of $0.3 million and a higher gain on the sale of rental equipment of $0.4 million.
Adjusted EBITDA
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, TestEquity generated Adjusted EBITDA of $13.5 million, a decrease of $2.0 million from the same period a year ago, which was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue and lower gross profit margins, partially offset by net margins of $1.6 million generated from 2024 acquisitions.

Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to higher outstanding borrowings related to the 2024 acquisitions of S&S Automotive, Source Atlantic, TCR and ConRes TE.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net consists of effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income, net and other non-operating income and expenditures. The $1.1 million change in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 is primarily due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and a decrease in interest income.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax expense was $6.9 million, a 57.8% effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to an income tax benefit of $0.2 million and a (10.5)% effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The change in the year-over-year effective tax rate was primarily due to a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation on deferred tax assets, state taxes and foreign income. The income tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2025 is based on the estimated year-end effective tax rate.

Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenue increased $5.5 million, or 2.3%, to $244.8 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to revenue of $239.3 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $14.7 million of additional revenue generated from the acquisitions completed in 2024, partially offset by a decline in legacy Lawson revenue due to soft sales across the business of $9.2 million.
Gross profit increased $5.3 million to $136.8 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to gross profit of $131.5 million in the same period of 2024 primarily as a result of the inclusion of $7.4 million of additional gross profit from the acquisitions completed in 2024 partially offset by lower revenue for legacy Lawson. Lawson gross profit as a percent of revenue was 55.9% in the first six months of 2025 compared to 54.9% in the prior year period. The gross profit margin percentage increase was primarily the result of the lower amortization of the fair value step-up of inventory of $0.6 million related to the S&S Automotive Transaction, lower write-offs of obsolete and excess inventory and increased prices, partially offset by increased vendor costs and lower gross profit margin profile on revenue generated by the 2024 acquisitions compared to Lawson’s organic profile.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation and support for Lawson sales representatives as well as expenses to operate Lawson’s distribution network and overhead expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million to $122.5 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $121.2 million in the same period of 2024. Approximately $2.7 million of the increased expenses was driven by additional selling, general and administrative expenses generated by the acquisitions completed in 2024 and $2.7 million of higher depreciation and amortization expense. These costs were partially offset by a decrease in severance and merger and acquisition expenses of $1.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, Lawson generated Adjusted EBITDA of $30.0 million, flat with the same period a year ago primarily driven by contributions of approximately $3.1 million generated by the acquisitions completed in 2024 offset by lower net margins on lower organic revenue.

Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenue decreased $0.8 million, or 0.2%, to $383.8 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $384.6 million in the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a slowdown in the electronics assembly market causing softening in the electronic production supplies end markets.
Gross profit decreased $3.7 million to $84.3 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $88.0 million in the same period of 2024 primarily as a result of higher depreciation expense due to the expansion of the rental equipment fleet and the decrease in revenue. TestEquity gross profit as a percent of revenue decreased to 22.0% in the first six months of 2025 compared to 22.9% in the prior year primarily due to higher depreciation expense on the expanded rental equipment fleet of $2.3 million and higher inventory write-offs of $1.3 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation and support for TestEquity’s sales representatives and expenses to operate TestEquity’s distribution network and overhead expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $18.0 million to $75.4 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $93.4 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in severance and merger and acquisition expenses of $15.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively and a higher gain on the sale of rental equipment of $0.8 million.
Adjusted EBITDA
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, TestEquity generated Adjusted EBITDA of $26.3 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 2.8% from the same period a year ago primarily driven by lower organic sales and gross margins partially offset by net margins generated from the 2024 acquisition of ConRes TE.

Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenue increased $40.9 million, or 19.9%, to $246.7 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $205.8 million in the same period of 2024. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by increased sales in the renewable energy, aerospace and defense and technology vertical markets of $24.5 million, $10.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively, and additional revenue generated from the 2024 acquisition of TCR. This was partially offset by softness within the industrial power vertical market.
Gross profit increased $13.1 million to $77.1 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $63.9 million in the same period of 2024 primarily due to an increase in revenue. Gexpro Services’ gross profit as a percent of revenue was 31.2% in the first six months of 2025 compared to 31.1% in the prior year period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses primarily relating to compensation, costs associated with supporting Gexpro Services’ service facilities, overhead expenses within finance, legal, human resources and information technology, and other costs required to operate Gexpro Services’ business.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million to $51.9 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $50.4 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by investments to support sales growth and 2025 new commercial investments, partially offset by lower merger and acquisition expenses of $0.6 million and a reduction to non-recurring strategic project consulting costs of $1.6 million.
Adjusted EBITDA
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, Gexpro Services generated Adjusted EBITDA of $32.1 million, an increase of $8.5 million, or 36.1% from the same period a year ago primarily driven by higher organic revenue, managing gross profit margins and leveraging Selling, general, and administrative expenses over a higher sales base.

Table of Contents
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $3.8 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 primarily due to higher outstanding borrowings related to the 2024 acquisitions of S&S Automotive, Source Atlantic, TCR and ConRes TE.
Change in Fair Value of Earnout Liabilities
The $1.0 million expense in the first six months of 2025 related to the change in fair value of the earnout liabilities associated with the Frontier acquisition.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net consists of effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income, net and other non-operating income and expenditures. Other income (expense), net was flat in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 .
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax expense was $9.1 million, a 52.4% effective tax rate for the first six months of 2025 compared to an income tax benefit of $4.3 million and a 56.1% effective tax rate for the first six months of 2024. The small change in the year-over-year effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation on deferred tax assets.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents were $47.4 million on June 30, 2025 compared to $66.5 million on December 31, 2024.
The Company believes its current balances of cash and cash equivalents, availability under its Amended Credit Agreement and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $47.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $252.7 million of borrowing availability remaining, net of outstanding letters of credit, under the Amended Credit Agreement.
Our primary short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs are to finance operating expenses, working capital, capital expenditures, potential business acquisitions, strategic initiatives and general corporate purposes. Our current debt obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement mature in April 2027. Required principal payments on the Amended Credit Agreement for the next twelve months are $40.3 million. Refer to Note 9 – Debt within Item 1. Financial Statements for additional information related to our debt obligations. Access to debt capital markets has historically provided the Company with sources of liquidity, beyond normal operating cash flows. We do not currently anticipate having difficulty in obtaining financing from those markets in the future, however, we cannot provide assurance that unforeseen events or events beyond our control (such as a potential tightening of debt capital markets, including in response to the implementations of new tariffs as part of the U.S. trade policy and any reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs thereto) will not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.

Financing and Capital Requirements
Credit Facility
As amended, the Amended Credit Agreement includes a $255 million senior secured revolving credit facility, a $250 million senior secured initial term loan facility, $505 million of incremental term loans, and a $50 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility and permits the Company to increase the commitments under the credit facility from time to time by up to $300 million in the aggregate, subject to, among other things, receipt of additional commitments from existing and/or new lenders and pro forma compliance with certain financial covenants. Refer to Note 9 – Debt within Item 1. Financial Statements for a description of the Amended Credit Agreement.
On June 30, 2025, we had $720.6 million in outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement and $252.7 million of borrowing availability remaining, net of outstanding letters of credit, under the senior secured revolving credit facility component.
As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our Amended Credit Agreement. While we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of June 30, 2025, failure to meet the covenant requirements of the Amended Credit Agreement in future quarters could lead to higher financing costs and increased restrictions, reduce or eliminate our ability to borrow funds, or accelerate the payment of our indebtedness and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Purchase Commitments
As of June 30, 2025, we had contractual commitments to purchase approximately $181.0 million of products from our suppliers and contractors over the next twelve months.
Capital Expenditures
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, total net capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and rental equipment were $10.6 million including proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment. The Company expects to spend approximately $20.0 million to $25.0 million for net capital expenditures during the full fiscal 2025 year to support ongoing operations.

Stock Repurchase Program
The Company’s Board of Directors previously authorized a stock repurchase program that permits the Company to repurchase its common stock. The timing and the amount of any repurchases will be determined by management under parameters established by the Board of Directors and depend on various factors including an evaluation of our stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 653,213 shares of DSG common stock under the repurchase program at an average cost of $30.69 per share for a total cost of $20.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 55,844 shares of DSG common stock under the repurchase program at an average cost of $30.14 per share for a total cost of $1.7 million. The remaining availability for stock repurchases under the program was $6.3 million as of June 30, 2025. See Note 11 – Stockholders’ Equity within Item 1. Financial Statements for further information.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to our floating rate long-term debt obligations. Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. These risks are highly sensitive to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control.
The loans under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 0.0% to 1.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the CORRA Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 9 – Debt within Item 1. Financial Statements for information about the Amended Credit Agreement.
As of June 30, 2025, 100% of our debt was floating rate debt. A hypothetical increase/decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would increase/decrease our annual interest expense by approximately $7.2 million. We have not entered into, and currently do not intend to enter into, interest rate swaps or other derivative financial instruments to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Other than the risk factor discussed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
General Risks
51
Table of Contents
Enhanced tariffs, changes in trade policies and import and export regulations of the U.S. and foreign governments may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our cost of goods, which may result in lower operating margins.
There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and various other countries with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs and taxes. For example, the U.S. presidential administration has threatened or imposed new or increased tariffs on imports from various countries, including China, Mexico and Canada. These actions have and are expected to continue to result in retaliatory measures on U.S. goods. If maintained, the tariffs and the potential escalation of trade disputes could pose a significant risk to our business and if we are unable to fully pass any such increased prices and costs through to our customers or to modify our activities, the impact could have an adverse effect on our gross profit margins and financial condition. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, including negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets. Further, actions we take to adapt to new tariffs or trade restrictions may cause us to modify our operations or forgo business opportunities. Likewise, tariffs and import and export regulations could also limit the availability of our products, prompt our customers to seek alternative products and provide an opportunity for competitors not subject to such tariffs to establish a presence in markets where we conduct our business.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The Company did not make any unregistered sales of its equity securities during the second quarter of 2025.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Board of Directors previously authorized a stock repurchase program that permits the Company to repurchase DSG common stock from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or by other methods. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased 332,575 shares of DSG common stock under the repurchase program at an average cost of $26.59 per share for a total cost of $8.8 million. The Company had $6.3 million of remaining availability under its stock repurchase program as of June 30, 2025. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date.
The following table summarizes repurchases of DSG common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2025 under the repurchase program described above and excludes shares withheld from employees to satisfy tax withholding requirements on option exercises and other equity-based transactions.
