Insights

The Q3 2024 results show solid performance with $468.0 million in revenue, up 6.6% year-over-year, driven by strategic acquisitions despite a 2.1% organic revenue decline. Notable improvements include adjusted EBITDA growth of 12.4% to $49.1 million, representing a healthy 10.5% margin.

The company's expansion strategy is particularly impressive, with key acquisitions including Source Atlantic (adding CAD 250 million in revenue potential), ConRes Test Equipment ($12 million annual revenue) and TCR in Southeast Asia. The improved credit facility expansion of $255 million and strong liquidity position of $328.0 million provide ample resources for future growth.

The 33.8% sequential increase in operating income and improved adjusted EBITDA margins indicate effective cost management and successful integration of acquisitions. However, investors should monitor the 3.7x net debt leverage and organic growth challenges in certain segments.

Bryan King, CEO and Chairman of the Board, said, "We are pleased with DSG’s third quarter results, which delivered sales and profitability growth over the prior-year quarter. Total sales, including acquisitions, grew 6.6% to $468 million despite organic revenue compression of 2.1% compared to the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter grew by 12.4% to $49.1 million, or 10.5% as a percentage of sales. Acquisitions in 2024 drove the quarterly sales increase, and we reported average daily sales for Lawson up 1.4%, for Gexpro Services up 12.5%, and for TestEquity down 7.4% for the period. Sequentially, compared to the second quarter, total sales grew by 6.5%, organic sales were up slightly at 0.2%, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.5% expanded by 20 basis points.

"DSG’s Source Atlantic acquisition, under our Lawson Products operating company, closed this quarter, and combined with Lawson’s The Bolt Supply House, we added a reportable segment focused on the Canadian MRO market. This CAD $250 million revenue Canadian business will drive DSG's growth by expanding our scale, customer base, and geographic reach while enhancing our enterprise-wide product offerings. We also announced the acquisition of ConRes Test Equipment under the TestEquity operating company from Continental Resources as a carve-out. This leading test and measurement equipment provider with $12 million in annual revenues further strengthens our customer intimacy with their leasing and calibration service offerings. Finally, as part of Gexpro Services’ growth platform, we announced the strategic acquisition of Tech-Component Resources (TCR), a distributor of fasteners, mechanical components, and other industrial products in Southeast Asia to support existing large OEM customers’ expansion plans while providing us with a strategic foothold in this growing region.

"We remain focused on deploying our capital for the highest returns in acquisitions and organic investments. Our asset-light business model drives strong cash flow conversion, and our focus on capital returns positions us well to maximize long-term value for our shareholders," concluded Mr. King.

2024 Third Quarter Summary(1)

  • Revenue increased $29.1 million, or 6.6%, to $468.0 million including $38.1 million of incremental revenue from three acquisitions closed in 2024. While organic sales declined 2.1% over a year ago, organic sales grew 0.2% sequentially over the second quarter of 2024.
  • Operating income was $18.9 million, net of $12.0 million of non-cash acquired intangible amortization and $11.5 million of non-recurring severance and acquisition-related retention costs, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs and other non-recurring items. This compares to operating income of $12.8 million in the prior year quarter, net of similar items as 2024. Adjusted operating income, excluding these non-cash and non-recurring items, was $42.5 million in the current quarter compared to $38.0 million in the year-ago quarter and $38.9 million in the second quarter of 2024.
  • Diluted income per share was $0.46 for the quarter inclusive of a $0.40 tax benefit based on the anticipated effective tax rate for the full year compared to diluted loss per share of $0.03 in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.37 compared to $0.35 for the same period a year ago and $0.40 for the second quarter of 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $49.1 million, reflecting a 10.5% margin, compared to $43.7 million, at a 10.0% margin in the prior year quarter. Sequentially, adjusted EBITDA grew by $3.9 million from the second quarter of 2024 and increased as a percentage of sales by 20bps.
  • Expanded the credit facility by $255 million with an additional term loan of $200 million and an increase in the revolver of $55 million from $200 million to $255 million. The Company ended the third quarter with total liquidity of $328.0 million, consisting of $75.8 million of cash (restricted and unrestricted) and $252.2 million of availability under its credit facility with net debt leverage of 3.7x. Cash generated from operations was $17.3 million for the quarter. Uses of cash in the third quarter included net capital expenditures of $4.1 million and share repurchases of $0.9 million.
  • Completed the acquisition of Source Atlantic in August 2024. Signed agreements to purchase ConRes Test Equipment, a leading test and measurement equipment provider and Tech-Component Resources Pte Ltd ("TCR"), a distributor of fasteners, mechanical components, and other industrial products in Southeast Asia serving OEM customers and related applications.

Distribution Solutions Group, Inc.
Segment Reporting

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

DISTRIBUTION SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC.

 

SEC REGULATION G GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

 

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, the Company's management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflections of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain non-operational or non-cash items that impact the overall comparability. See Tables below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and the three months ended June 30, 2024. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
