PART I
ITEM 1. Business
Company Overview
Founded in 1908, DXP Enterprises, Inc. (together with our subsidiaries, hereinafter referred to as "DXP" or the "Company" or by the terms such as we, our, or us) was incorporated in Texas in 1996 to be the successor to SEPCO Industries, Inc. Since our predecessor company was founded, we have primarily been engaged in the business of distributing maintenance, repair and operating ("MRO") products, equipment and service to customers in a variety of end markets including the general industrial, energy, food & beverage, chemical, transportation, water and wastewater. The Company is organized into three business segments: Service Centers ("SC"), Supply Chain Services ("SCS") and Innovative Pumping Solutions ("IPS"). Sales, operating income, and other financial information for 2022, 2021 and 2020, and identifiable assets at the close of such years for our business segments are presented in Note 22 – Segment Reporting to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Our total sales have increased from $125 million in 1996 to $1.5 billion in 2022 through a combination of internal growth and business acquisitions. At December 31, 2022, we operated from 180 locations which included 37 states in the U.S., nine provinces in Canada and one location in Dubai serving customers engaged locations and becoming customer driven experts in maintenance, repair and operating solutions.
The following table shows, as of the end of the last 10 fiscal years, our consolidated sales; the number of service centers, supply chain service sites, IPS facilities and the corresponding sales and average sales per business segment location:

Industry Overview
The industrial distribution market is highly fragmented. Based on 2021 sales as reported by Industrial Distribution magazine, we were the 17 th largest distributor of MRO products in the United States. Most industrial customers currently purchase their industrial supplies through numerous local distribution and supply companies. These distributors generally provide the customer with repair and maintenance services, technical support and application expertise with respect to one product category. Products typically are purchased by the distributor for resale directly from the manufacturer and warehoused at distribution facilities of the distributor until sold to the customer. The customer also typically will purchase an amount of product inventory for its near term anticipated needs and store those products at its industrial site until the products are used.

Table of Contents
We believe that the distribution system for industrial products, as described in the preceding paragraph, creates inefficiencies at both the customer and the distributor levels through excess inventory requirements and duplicative cost structures. To compete more effectively, our customers and other users of MRO products are seeking ways to enhance efficiencies and lower MRO product and procurement costs. In response to this customer desire, three primary trends have emerged in the industrial supply industry:
•Industry Consolidation. Industrial customers have reduced the number of supplier relationships they maintain to lower total purchasing costs, improve inventory management, assure consistently high levels of customer service and enhance purchasing power. This focus on fewer suppliers has led to consolidation within the fragmented industrial distribution industry.
•Customized Integrated Service. As industrial customers focus on their core manufacturing or other production competencies, they increasingly demand customized integration services, consisting of value-added traditional distribution, supply chain services, modular equipment and repair and maintenance services.
•Single Source, First-Tier Distribution. As industrial customers continue to address cost containment, there is a trend toward reducing the number of suppliers and eliminating multiple tiers of distribution. Therefore, to lower overall costs to the customer, some MRO product distributors are expanding their product coverage to eliminate second-tier distributors and become a “one stop source”.
We believe we have increased our competitive advantage through our traditional fabrication of integrated system pump packages and integrated supply programs, which are designed to address our customers’ specific product and procurement needs. We offer our customers various options for the integration of their supply needs, ranging from serving as a single source of supply for all our specific lines of products and product categories to offering a fully integrated supply package in which we assume procurement and management functions, which can include ownership of inventory, at the customer's location. Our approach to integrated supply allows us to design a program that best fits the needs of the customer. Customers purchasing large quantities of product are able to outsource all or most of those needs to us. For customers with smaller supply needs, we are able to combine our traditional distribution capabilities with our broad product categories and advanced ordering systems to allow the customer to engage in one-stop sourcing without the commitment required under an integrated supply contract.
Business Segments
The Company is organized into three business segments: Service Centers (“SC”), Supply Chain Services (“SCS”) and Innovative Pumping Solutions (“IPS”). Our segments provide management with a comprehensive financial view of our key businesses. The segments enable the alignment of strategies and objectives and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within our businesses. In addition to the three business segments, our consolidated financial results include "Corporate and other expenses" which includes costs related to our centralized support functions, consisting, of accounting and finance, information technology, marketing, human resources, legal, inventory management & procurement and other support services and removes inter-company transactions. The following table sets forth the Company’s sales by business segments as of December 31, 2022. See Results of Operations under Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further information on our segments’ financial results.

As a first-tier distributor, we are able to reduce our customers' costs and improve efficiencies in the supply chain. We offer a wide range of industrial MRO products, equipment and services through a continuum of customized and efficient MRO solutions. We also provide services such as field safety supervision, in-house and field repair and predictive maintenance.
A majority of our Service Center segment sales are derived from customer purchase orders for products. Sales are directly solicited from customers by our sales force. The Company's Service Centers are stocked and staffed with knowledgeable sales associates and backed by a centralized customer service team of experienced industry professionals. At December 31, 2022, our Service Centers’ products and services were distributed from 156 service centers and 4 distribution centers. The Company's Service Centers provide a wide range of MRO products in the rotating equipment, bearing, power transmission, hose, fluid power, metal working, industrial supply and safety product and service categories. We currently serve as a first-tier distributor of more than 1,000,000 items of which more than 60,000 are stock keeping units (SKUs) for use primarily by customers engaged in the oil and gas, food and beverage, petrochemical, transportation and other general industrial industries.

Innovative Pumping Solutions
The Company's Innovative Pumping Solutions (IPS) segment provides integrated, custom pump skid packages, pump remanufacturing and manufactures branded private label pumps to meet the capital equipment needs of our global customer base. Additionally, our IPS segment provides project solutions and capital equipment to the water and wastewater treatment markets including potable water, bio-solid and residual management and wastewater treatment. Our IPS segment provides a single source for engineering, systems design and fabrication for unique customer specifications.
Our sales of integrated pump packages, remanufactured pumps or branded private label pumps are generally derived from customer purchase orders containing the customers’ unique specifications. Sales are directly solicited from customers by our dedicated sales force.
The Company's engineering staff can design a complete custom pump package to meet our customers’ project specifications. Drafting programs such as Solidworks and AutoCAD® allow our engineering team to verify the design and layout of packages with our customers prior to the start of fabrication. Finite Elemental Analysis programs such as Cosmos Professional are used to design the package to meet all normal and future loads and forces. This process helps maximize the pump packages’ life and minimizes any impact to the environment.
With over 100 years of fabrication experience, the Company has acquired the technical expertise to ensure that our pumps and pump packages are built to meet the highest standards. The Company utilizes manufacturer authorized equipment and manufacturer certified personnel. Pump packages require MRO products and original equipment manufacturers’ (OEM) equipment such as pumps, motors, valves, and consumable products such as welding supplies. The Company leverages its MRO product inventories and breadth of authorized products to lower the total cost and maintain the quality of our pump packages.

The SCS segment enters into long-term contracts with its customers that can be canceled on little or no notice under certain circumstances. The SCS segment provides fully outsourced MRO solutions for sourcing MRO products including, but not limited to, the following: inventory optimization and management; store room management; transaction consolidation and control; vendor oversight and procurement cost optimization; productivity improvement services; and customized reporting. Our mission is to help our customers become more competitive by reducing their indirect material costs and order cycle time by increasing productivity and by creating enterprise-wide inventory and procurement visibility and control.
The Company has developed assessment tools and master plan templates aimed at taking cost out of supply chain processes, streamlining operations and boosting productivity. This multi-faceted approach allows us to manage the entire MRO products channel for maximum efficiency and optimal control, which ultimately provides our customers with a low-cost solution.
The Company takes a consultative approach to determine the strengths and opportunities for improvement within a customer’s MRO products supply chain. This assessment determines if and how we can best streamline operations, drive value within the procurement process, and increase control in storeroom management.
Decades of supply chain inventory management experience and comprehensive research, as well as a thorough understanding of our customers’ businesses and industries have allowed us to design standardized programs that are flexible enough to be fully adaptable to address our customers’ unique MRO products supply chain challenges. These standardized programs include:
•SmartAgreement, a planned, pro-active MRO products procurement solution leveraging DXP’s local Service Centers.

Insurance
We maintain liability and other insurance that we believe to be customary and generally consistent with industry practice. We retain a portion of the risk for medical claims, general liability, worker’s compensation and property losses. The various deductibles of our insurance policies generally do not exceed $250,000 per occurrence. There are also certain risks for which we do not maintain insurance. There can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate for the risks involved, that coverage limits will not be exceeded or that such insurance will apply to all liabilities. The occurrence of an adverse claim in excess of the coverage limits that we maintain could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, we are partially self-insured for our group health plan, worker’s compensation, auto liability and general liability insurance.
Government Regulation and Environmental Matters
We are subject to various laws and regulations relating to our business and operations and various health and safety regulations including those established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Canadian Occupational Health and Safety.
Certain of our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations as well as provincial regulations controlling the discharge of materials into or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.
Although we believe that we have adequate procedures to comply with applicable discharge and other environmental laws, such laws and regulations could result in costs to remediate releases of regulated substances into the environment or costs to remediate sites to which we sent regulated substances for disposal. In some cases, these laws can impose strict liability for the entire cost of clean-up on any responsible party without regard to negligence or fault and impose liability on us for the conduct of others or conditions others have caused, or for our acts that complied with all applicable requirements when we performed them. New laws have been enacted and regulations are being adopted by various regulatory agencies on a continuing basis and the costs of compliance with these new laws can only be broadly appraised until their implementation becomes more defined.
The risks of accidental contamination or injury from the discharge of controlled or hazardous materials and chemicals cannot be eliminated completely. In the event of such a discharge, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any such liability could have a material adverse effect on us.
We are not currently aware of any environmental situation or violations of government regulations that we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Human Capital
The Company employed 2,675 people as of December 31, 2022 with approximately 2,433 people located in the United States and 242 people located in Canada and other countries where the Company's business operates. The Company is continually investing in its workforce to further talent development, increase employee safety, drive a strong workplace culture, improve compensation and benefits and diversity and inclusion to support our employees’ well-being, and foster their growth and development.
Talent Development. The Company's leaders are expected to make great strategic choices, deliver great results, be great talent managers and provide strong leadership. The Company's leaders who have expertise in the Company's business model are the critical factor in translating the potential of the Company's business model into full performance. Because this expertise develops over time and through specific experiences, the Company focuses on developing and promoting its own talent to ensure the Company's sustained business success over the long term.
Employee Safety. The safety and well-being of the Company's colleagues around the world has been, and always will be, its top priority. Guided by the Company's Safety Service offering, business and the philosophy that every accident is preventable, the Company strives every day to foster a proactive safety culture. The Company's safety strategy is based on the following core principles: (i) a goal of zero accidents, (ii) shared ownership for safety (business and individual); (iii) proactive approach focused on accident prevention; and (iv) continuous improvement philosophy.
Consistent with these commitments, employee health and safety has been a top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among its many actions and initiatives, the Company redesigned processes to ensure proper social distancing practices, adjusted shift schedules and assignments to help colleagues who have child and elder care needs and implemented aggressive workplace sanitation practices and a coordinated response to ensure access to personal protective equipment to minimize infection risk.

Workplace Culture. The Company operates under a balanced centralized and decentralized entrepreneurial culture that is crucial to the Company's performance and is one of the three unique elements of the Company's business model. The Company believes its colleagues around the world thrive in this culture, as it allows them to experience significant autonomy, a sense of shared ownership with their colleagues, and a work atmosphere deeply rooted in the Company's core values.
Compensation and Benefits. The Company is committed to providing market-competitive compensation and benefits to attract and retain great talent across its business segments. Specific compensation and benefits vary and are based on regional practices. In the U.S., the Company focuses on providing a comprehensive, competitive benefits package that supports the health and wellness, educational endeavors, community involvement and financial stability of its colleagues.
Our key human capital measures include employee safety, turnover, absenteeism and production. We frequently benchmark our compensation practices and benefits programs against those of comparable companies and industries and in the geographic areas where our facilities are located. We believe that our compensation and employee benefits are competitive and allow us to attract and retain skilled and unskilled labor throughout our organization. Our notable health, welfare and retirement benefits include:

| ● | Company subsidized health insurance

| ● | 401(k) Plan with Company matching contributions

| ● | Paid time off

Diversity and Inclusion. The Company believes it is at its best when it brings together unique perspectives, experiences and ideas. The Company is committed to equal employment opportunity, fair treatment and creating diverse and inclusive workplaces where all the Company's colleagues can perform to their full potential. We strive to maintain an inclusive environment free from discrimination of any kind, including sexual or other discriminatory harassment. Our employees have multiple avenues available through which inappropriate behavior can be reported, including a confidential hotline. All reports of inappropriate behavior are promptly investigated with appropriate action taken aimed at stopping such behavior.
Labor Relations. None of the Company's U.S. employees are represented by a labor union, while outside the U.S., employees in certain countries are represented by an employee representative organization, such as a union, works council or employee association.
The Company considers its employee relations to be excellent. Headcount by segment and country are as follows:

Business Segment | Employees |  | Country | Employees
Service Centers | 1,651 |  | United States | 2,433
Innovative Pumping Solutions | 337 |  | Canada | 232
Supply Chain Services | 409 |  | Other | 10
Corporate | 278 |  |  |
Total Employees | 2,675 |  | Total Employees | 2,675

We believe our employees are key to achieving our business objectives. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, we continued to operate our business despite the challenges that arose from closing offices and operating our branch locations. Our use of technology and third party conferencing platforms enabled our office employees to work from home, performing their job functions with little to no loss of productivity. We required our employees to work from home as a result of governmental stay-at-home orders and, in many cases, in advance of those orders for the health and safety of our employees. For the most part, our warehouses and regional distribution centers remained open. Under various shelter-in place orders by national, state, provincial and local governments, we were exempted as an “essential” business as the products we sell are necessary for the maintenance and functioning of the energy infrastructure and other industries. We took measures to safeguard the health and welfare of our employees. As various governmental isolation orders were lifted or phased out, we modified our operational plans to continue operating our business while addressing the health and safety of our employees.

The following are more detailed discussions of our Risk Factors summarized above:
Risk Related to the Company's Business and Operations
Demand for our products could decrease if the manufacturers of those products sell them directly to end users.
Typically, MRO products have been purchased through distributors and not directly from the manufacturers of those products. If customers were to purchase our products directly from manufacturers, or if manufacturers sought to increase their efforts to sell directly to end users, we could experience a significant decrease in sales and earnings.
Changes in our customer and product mix, or adverse changes to the cost of goods we sell, could cause our gross margin percentage to fluctuate or decrease, and we may not be able to maintain historical margins.
Changes in our customer mix have resulted from geographic expansion, daily selling activities within current geographic markets, and targeted selling activities to new customers. Changes in our product mix have resulted from marketing activities to existing customers and needs communicated to us from existing and prospective customers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our historical gross margins. In addition, we may also be subject to price increases from vendors that we may not be able to pass along to our customers.
Our manufacturers may cancel our oral or written distribution authorizations upon little or no notice, which could adversely impact our revenues and profits from distributing certain manufacturer’s products.
We are authorized to distribute certain manufacturers’ products in specific geographic areas and all of our oral or written distribution authorizations are subject to cancellation by the manufacturer, some upon little or no notice. If certain manufacturers cancel the distribution authorizations they granted to us, our distribution of their products could be disrupted and such occurrence could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial conditions.
We rely upon third-party transportation providers for our merchandise shipments and are subject to increased shipping costs as well as the potential inability of our third-party transportation providers to deliver products on a timely basis.
We rely upon independent third-party transportation providers for our merchandise shipments, including shipments to and from all of our service centers. Our utilization of these delivery services for shipments is subject to risks, including increases in fuel prices, labor availability, labor strikes and inclement weather, which may impact a shipping company’s ability to provide delivery services that adequately meet our shipping needs. If we change the shipping companies we use, we could face logistical difficulties that could adversely affect deliveries and we would incur costs and expend resources in connection with such change. In addition, we may not be able to obtain favorable terms as we have with our current third-party transportation providers.
Our business has substantial competition that could adversely affect our results.
Our business is highly competitive. We compete with a variety of industrial supply distributors, some of which may have greater financial and other resources than us. Although many of our traditional distribution competitors are small enterprises selling to customers in a limited geographic area, we also compete with larger distributors that provide integrated supply programs such as those offered through outsourcing services similar to those that are offered by our SCS segment. Some of these large distributors may be able to supply their products in a more timely and cost-efficient manner than us. Our competitors include catalog suppliers, large warehouse stores and, to a lesser extent, certain manufacturers. Competitive pressures could adversely affect the Company's sales and profitability.
The loss of or the failure to attract and retain key personnel could adversely impact our results of operations.
The loss of the services of any of the executive officers of the Company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our ability to grow successfully will be dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified management and technical and operational personnel. The failure to attract and retain such persons could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents
The loss of any key supplier could adversely affect the Company’s sales and profitability.
We have distribution rights for certain product lines and depend on these distribution rights for a substantial portion of our business. Many of these distribution rights are pursuant to contracts that are subject to cancellation upon little or no prior notice. The termination or limitation by any key supplier of its relationship with the Company could result in a temporary disruption of our business and, in turn, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our future results will be impacted by our ability to implement our internal growth strategy.
Our future results will depend in part on our success in implementing our internal growth strategy, which includes expanding our existing geographic areas, selling additional products to existing customers and adding new customers. Our ability to implement this strategy will depend on our success in selling more products and services to existing customers, acquiring new customers, hiring qualified sales persons, and marketing integrated forms of supply management such as those being pursued by us through our SmartSource SM program. We may not be successful in efforts to increase sales and product offerings to existing customers. Consolidation in our industry could heighten the impacts of competition on our business and results of operations discussed above. The fact that we do not traditionally enter into long-term contracts with our suppliers or customers may provide opportunities for our competitors.
Risks associated with executing our acquisition strategy.
Our future results will depend in part on our ability to successfully implement our acquisition strategy. We may not be able to consummate acquisitions at rates similar to the past, which could adversely impact our growth rate and stock price. This strategy includes taking advantage of a consolidation trend in the industry and effecting acquisitions of businesses with complementary or desirable product lines, strategic distribution locations, attractive customer bases or manufacturer relationships. Promising acquisitions are difficult to identify and complete for a number of reasons, including high valuations, competition among prospective buyers, the need for regulatory (including antitrust) approvals and the availability of affordable funding in the capital markets. In addition, competition for acquisitions in our business areas is significant and may result in higher purchase prices. Changes in accounting or regulatory requirements or instability in the credit markets could also adversely impact our ability to consummate acquisitions. In addition, acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including possible adverse effects on our operating results, diversion of management’s attention, failure to retain key personnel of the acquired business, difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, services and personnel of acquired companies, potential loss of customers of acquired companies, preserving business relationships of the acquired companies, risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities, and expenses associated with obsolete inventory of an acquired business, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to grow at or above our historic rates depends in part upon our ability to identify and successfully acquire and integrate companies and businesses at appropriate prices and realize anticipated cost savings.
Goodwill and intangible assets recorded as a result of our acquisitions could become impaired.
Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price of acquired companies and the related fair values of net assets acquired. We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Goodwill and intangibles represent a significant amount of our total assets. As of December 31, 2022, our combined goodwill and intangible assets amounted to $413.3 million, net of accumulated amortization. To the extent we do not generate sufficient cash flows to recover the net amount of any investments in goodwill and other intangible assets recorded, the investment could be considered impaired and subject to write-off which would directly impact earnings. We expect to record additional goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of future business acquisitions. Future amortization of such other intangible assets or impairments, if any, of goodwill or intangible assets would adversely affect our results of operations in any given period.
Interruptions in the proper functioning of our information systems could disrupt operations and cause increases in costs and/or decreases in revenues.
The proper functioning of the Company's information systems is critical to the successful operation of our business. Our information systems are vulnerable to natural disasters, power losses, telecommunication failures and other problems despite the protection of our information systems through physical and software safeguards and remote processing capabilities. If critical information systems fail or are otherwise unavailable, The Company's ability to procure products to sell, process and ship customer orders, identify business opportunities, maintain proper levels of inventories, collect accounts receivable and pay accounts payable and expenses could be adversely affected.

Cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions or misuse of our network and information systems could affect our ability to conduct our business effectively.
Through our sales channels and electronic communications with customers generally, we collect and maintain confidential information that customers provide to us in order to purchase products or services. We also acquire and retain information about suppliers and employees in the normal course of business. Computer hackers may attempt to penetrate our information systems or our vendors' information systems and, if successful, misappropriate confidential customer, supplier, employee or other business information. In addition, one of our employees, contractors or other third party may attempt to circumvent security measures in order to obtain such information or inadvertently cause a breach involving such information. Loss of information could expose us to claims from customers, suppliers, financial institutions, regulators, payment card associations, employees and other persons, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We may not be able to adequately insure against cyber risks.
Despite our security measures and those of our third-party service providers, our systems may be vulnerable to interruption or damage from computer hacks, computer viruses, worms or other destructive or disruptive software, process breakdowns, denial of service attacks, malicious social engineering or other malicious activities, or any combination of the foregoing. Our computer systems have been, and will likely continue to be, subject to attack. For example, in August 2020, the Company’s computer network was the target of a cyber-attack that we believe was orchestrated by a foreign actor. The systems housing confidential vendor, customer and employee data were not breached in this attack. The costs incurred to remedy the breach were not material to the results of the Company, and the increased cost of future mitigating measures are not expected to be material to our results. While we have implemented controls and taken other preventative actions to further strengthen our systems against future attacks, these controls and preventative actions may not be effective against future attacks. Any breach of network; information systems, our data security could result in a disruption of our services or improper disclosure of personal data or confidential information, which could harm our reputation, require us to expend resources to remedy such a security breach or defend against further attacks or subject us to liability under laws that protect personal data, resulting in increased operating costs or loss of revenue.
Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and potential cancellations
Our backlog generally consists of projects for which we have an executed contract or commitment with a client and reflects our expected revenue from the contract or commitment, which is often subject to revision over time. We cannot guarantee that the revenue projected in our backlog will be realized or profitable or will not be subject to delay or suspension. Project cancellations, scope adjustments or deferrals, may occur with respect to contracts reflected in our backlog and could reduce the dollar amount of our backlog and the revenue and profits that we actually earn; or, may cause the rate at which we perform on our backlog to decrease. Our contracts typically provide for the payment of fees earned through the date of termination and the reimbursement of costs incurred including demobilization costs. In addition, projects may remain in our backlog for an extended period of time. During periods of economic slowdown, or decreases and/or instability in oil prices, the risk of projects being suspended, delayed or canceled generally increases. Finally, poor project or contract performance could also impact our backlog. Such developments could have a material adverse effect on our business and our profits.
Our actual results could differ from the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements
In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Areas requiring significant estimates by our management include:
•recognition of revenue, costs, profits or losses;
•recognition of recoveries under contract change orders or claims;
•estimated amounts for project losses, warranty costs, contract close-out or other costs;
•income tax provisions and related valuation allowances; and
•accruals for other estimated liabilities, including litigation and insurance reserves and receivables.
Estimates are based on management's reasonable assumptions and experience, but are only estimates. Our actual business and financial results could differ from our estimates of such results due to changes in facts and circumstances, which could have a material negative impact on our financial condition and reported results of operations. Further, we recognize contract revenue as work on a contract progresses. The cumulative amount of revenue recorded on a contract at any point in time is the costs incurred to date versus the estimated total costs. Accordingly, contract revenue and total cost estimates are reviewed and revised as the work progresses. Adjustments are reflected in contract revenue in the period when such estimates are revised. Such adjustments could be material and could result in reduced profitability.

If we do not successfully remediate our internal controls weaknesses, our financial statements may not be accurate and the trading price of our stock could be negatively impacted.
As discussed in Item 9A, “Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,” we concluded we have material weaknesses in our internal controls during 2022. If we fail to successfully remediate these weaknesses, our financial statements may not be accurate and the trading price of our stock could be negatively impacted.
Risks Related to the Market and Economy
The COVID-19 pandemic has and could continue to result in disruptions in supply chain, decreased customer demand, lower oil price and volatility in the stock market and the global economy, which could negatively impact our business, financial position, and results of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic created extensive disruptions to the global economy and to the lives of individuals throughout the world. COVID-19 spread globally during the first few months of 2020, resulting in certain supply chain disruptions, volatility in the stock market, lower oil prices, and a lockdown in international travel, all of which continued to adversely impact the global economy and may potentially impact future demand from our customers. While the scope, duration, and long-term effects of COVID-19 are rapidly evolving and not fully known, the pandemic and related efforts to contain it disrupted global economic activity and increased economic and market uncertainty. Further, a COVID-19 variant outbreak at one of our vendors’ or customers’ facilities could adversely impact or disrupt our operations. The pandemic impacted our customers spending and we have experienced these types of events negatively impacting our customers’ spending in certain regions or, depending upon the severity, globally, which can adversely impact our business, reputation, results of operations or financial conditions. If these effects resurface or continue for a prolonged period or result in sustained economic stress or recession, many of the risk factors identified in our Form 10-K could be exacerbated and such effects could have a material adverse impact on us in a number of ways.
Because there have been no comparable recent global pandemics that resulted in similar global impact, we do not know the lingering extent of COVID-19’s effects on our business, operations, or the global economy as a whole. Any future development will be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to a resurgence of the virus. While we do not know the long-term impact on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole, the effects could have a prolonged material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our success depends in large part on the performance of our executive management team and other key personnel, as well as on our ability to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified senior and middle management and other skilled employees. Competition for qualified employees is intense and the process of locating qualified key personnel may be lengthy and expensive. If any of our executive management team contract COVID-19, we may lose their services for an extended period of time, which would likely have a negative impact on our business and operations. If we experience widespread cases of COVID-19 or its variants among our employees, it would place more pressure on the remaining employees to perform all functions across the organization while maintaining their health, may require us to take remediation measures, and could impair our ability to conduct business. We may not be successful in retaining our key employees or finding adequate replacements for lost personnel.
A general slowdown in the economy could negatively impact the Company's sales growth and profitability.
Economic and industry trends affect the Company's business. Demand for our products is subject to economic trends affecting our customers and the industries in which they compete in particular. Many of these industries, such as the manufacturing, food & beverage and oil and gas industry, are subject to volatility while others, such as the petrochemical industry, are cyclical and are materially affected by changes in the economy. As a result, demand for our products could be adversely impacted by changes in the markets of our customers. We traditionally do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers which increases the likelihood that economic downturns would affect our business.
We could be adversely impacted by low oil prices, volatility in oil prices and downturns in the energy industry, including decreased capital expenditures, impacting our customers’ demand for our products and services.
A significant portion of our revenue depends upon the level of capital and operating expenditures in the oil and natural gas industry, including capital expenditures in connection with the upstream, midstream, and downstream phases in the energy industry. Therefore, a significant decline in oil or natural gas prices could lead to a decrease in our customers’ capital and other expenditures and could adversely affect our revenues.
18

Table of Contents
Low oil prices and the resulting downturns or lack of growth in the energy industry and energy related business could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. A significant portion of our revenue depends upon the level of capital and operating expenditures in the oil and natural gas industry, including capital expenditures in connection with the upstream, midstream, and downstream phases in the energy industry. Therefore, sustained low oil and natural gas prices or a decline of such prices could lead to a decrease in our customers’ capital and other expenditures and could adversely affect our revenues.
Adverse weather events or natural disasters could negatively disrupt our operations.
Certain areas in which we operate are susceptible to adverse weather conditions or natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes. These events can disrupt our operations, result in damage to our properties and negatively affect the local economies in which we operate. Additionally, we may experience communication disruptions with our customers, vendors and employees.
We cannot predict whether or to what extent damage caused by these events will affect our operations or the economies in regions where we operate. These adverse events could result in disruption of our purchasing or distribution capabilities, interruption of our business that exceeds our insurance coverage, our inability to collect from customers and increased operating costs. Our business or results of operations may be adversely affected by these and other negative effects of these events.
Risks Related to Credit or Access to Debt Capital
We may not be able to refinance on favorable terms or may not refinance, extend or repay our debt, which could adversely affect our results of operations or may result in default of our debt.
We may not be able to refinance existing debt or the terms of any refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of our existing debt. If principal payments due upon default or at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or repaid with proceeds from other sources, such as new equity capital, our cash flow may not be sufficient to repay all maturing debt in years when significant payments come due. If such circumstance happens, our business, reputation, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected and our existing debt could be in default.
Our failure to comply with financial covenants of our credit facilities may adversely affect our results of operations and our financial conditions.
Our credit facilities require the Company to comply with certain specified covenants, restrictions, financial ratios and other financial and operating tests. The Company’s ability to comply with any of the foregoing restrictions will depend on its future performance, which will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, including factors beyond the Company’s control. A failure to comply with any of these obligations could result in an event of default under the credit facilities, which could permit acceleration of the Company’s indebtedness under the credit facilities. The Company from time to time has been unable to comply with some of the financial covenants contained in previous credit facilities (relating to, among other things, the maintenance of prescribed financial ratios) and has, when necessary, obtained waivers or amendments to the covenants from its lenders. In the future the Company may not be able to comply with the covenants or, if is not able to do so, that its lenders will be willing to waive such non-compliance or amend such covenants.
We may not be able to access acquisition financing, including debt capital.
We may need to finance acquisitions by using shares of common stock for a portion or all of the consideration to be paid. In the event that the common stock does not maintain a sufficient market value, or potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept common stock as part of the consideration for the sale of their businesses, we may be required to use more of our cash resources, if available, to maintain our acquisition program. These cash resources may include borrowings under our existing credit agreements or equity or debt financings. Our current credit agreements with lenders contain certain restrictions that could adversely affect our ability to implement and finance potential acquisitions. Such restrictions include provisions which limit our ability to merge or consolidate with, or acquire all or a substantial part of the properties or capital stock of, other entities without the prior written consent of the lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the lenders’ consent to any of our proposed acquisitions. If we do not have sufficient cash resources, our growth could be limited unless we are able to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financings.

A deterioration in the oil and gas sector or other circumstances may negatively impact our business and results of operations and thus hinder our ability to comply with financial covenants under our credit facilities, including the Secured Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenants.
A deterioration of the oil and gas sector or other circumstances that reduce our earnings may hinder our ability to comply with certain financial covenants under our credit facilities. Specifically, compliance with the Secured Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants depend on our ability to maintain net income and prevent losses. In the future we may not be able to comply with the covenants and, if we are not able to do so, our lenders may not be willing to waive such non-compliance or amend such covenants. If we are unable to comply with our financial covenants or obtain a waiver or amendment of those covenants or obtain alternative financing, our business and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters
Risks associated with substantial or material claim or lawsuits that are not covered by insurance.
In the ordinary course of business we at times may become the subject of various claims, lawsuits or administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, the products we distribute, employees and other matters, including potential claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials as a result of the products we distribute or our operations. Some of these claims may relate to the activities of businesses that we have acquired, even though these activities may have occurred prior to acquisition. The products we distribute, and/or manufacture, are subject to inherent risks that could result in personal injury, property damage, pollution, death or loss of production.
We maintain insurance to cover potential losses, and we are subject to various deductibles and caps under our insurance. It is possible, however, that judgments could be rendered against us in cases in which we would be uninsured and beyond the amounts that we currently have reserved or anticipate incurring for such matters. Even a partially uninsured claim, if successful and of significant size, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we may not be able to continue to obtain insurance on commercially reasonable terms in the future, and we may incur losses from interruption of our business that exceed our insurance coverage. In cases where we maintain insurance coverage, our insurers may raise various objections and exceptions to coverage which could make uncertain the timing and amount of any possible insurance recovery.
The nature of our manufactured products carries the possibility of significant product liability and warranty claims, which could harm our business and future results.
Customers use some of our products, in particular manufactured pumps and pump packages, in potentially harmful and high-risk applications that may in some instances can cause personal injury or loss of life and/or damage to property, equipment or the environment. In addition, our products are integral to the production process for some end-users, and a failure of our products could result in a business interruption of their operations. Although we maintain quality controls and procedures, our products may not be completely free from defects and/or malfunction or failure. We maintain various levels and types of insurance coverage that we believe are adequate and commensurate with normal industry practice for a company of our risk profile, relative size, and we further limit our liability by contract wherever possible. However, as described earlier, insurance may not be available or adequate to cover all potential liability. We could be named as a defendant in product liability or other lawsuits asserting potentially large claims if an accident occurs at a location where our equipment is installed or services have been or are being used.
We are subject to potential shareholder litigation associated with the potential volatile trading price of our common stock.
The market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, the risk factors described in this and other periodic reports, and other factors beyond our control, such as fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us. Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, many companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business.
20

Table of Contents
We are subject to personal injury and product liability claims involving allegedly defective products.
A variety of products we distribute are used in potentially hazardous applications that can result in personal injury and product liability claims. A catastrophic occurrence at a location where the products we distribute are used may result in us being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting potentially large claims and applicable law may render us liable for damages without regard to negligence or fault.
We are subject to risks associated with conducting business in foreign countries.
We conduct a meaningful amount of business outside of the United States of America. We could be adversely affected by economic, legal, political and regulatory developments in countries that we conduct business in. We have meaningful operations in Canada in which the functional currency is denominated in Canadian dollars. We also have operations in Dubai, where the functional currency is dirham. As the value of currencies in foreign countries in which we have operations increases or decreases related to the U.S. dollar, the sales, expenses, profits, losses assets and liabilities of our foreign operations, as reported in our consolidated financial statements, increase or decrease, accordingly. Moreover, our international operations subject us to a variety of foreign laws and regulations, including without limitation, import and export requirements, the FCPA, U.S. and foreign tax laws, data privacy requirements, labor laws and anti-competition regulations. Our employees, contractors or agents may violate laws and regulations despite our attempts to implement policies and procedures to comply with such laws and regulations. Any such violations could individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
We are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.
We are subject to federal, state, local, foreign and provincial environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. Fines and penalties may be imposed for non-compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety requirements and the failure to have or to comply with the terms and conditions of required permits. The failure by us to comply with applicable environmental, health and safety requirements could result in fines, penalties, enforcement actions, third party claims for property damage and personal injury, requirements to clean up property or to pay for the costs of cleanup, or regulatory or judicial orders requiring corrective measures.
We are subject to various government regulations, the cost of compliance of such regulations could increase our cost of conducting business and any violations of such regulations could materially adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
We are subject to laws and regulations in every jurisdiction where we operate. Compliance with laws and regulations increases our cost of doing business. We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including without limitation import and export requirements, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), tax laws (including U.S. taxes on our foreign subsidiaries), data privacy requirements, labor laws and anti-competition regulations. We are also subject to audits and inquiries in the ordinary course of business. Changes to the legal and regulatory environments could increase the cost of doing business, and such costs may increase in the future as a result of changes in these laws and regulations or in their interpretation. Our employees, contractors or agents may violate laws and regulations despite our attempts to implement policies and procedures to comply with such laws and regulations. Any such violations could individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

During 2022, the growth rate of the general economy improved, as the macro economy and business cycle began to normalize relative to the pandemic related years of 2020 and 2021. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $366.9 million, or 32.9%, to approximately $1.5 billion from $1.1 billion for the prior corresponding period. Customer demand was generally healthy throughout fiscal 2022, resulting in industry expected volume growth, complemented by meaningful pricing actions taken by the Company's vendors which ultimately, get passed on to customers. As such, the majority of the 2022 sales increase is the result of increases in price with volume as well as the contribution from acquisitions and the related sales of rotating equipment and air compressors.

During 2021, the growth rate of the general economy improved from 2020 as well as the rig count. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $108.7 million, or 10.8%, to approximately $1.1 billion from $1.0 billion for the prior corresponding period. The majority of the 2021 sales increase was primarily due to acquisitions and the related sales of rotating equipment air compressors.
Our sales growth strategy in recent years has focused on internal growth and acquisitions. Key elements of our sales strategy include leveraging existing customer relationships by cross-selling new products, expanding product offerings to new and existing customers, and increasing business-to-business solutions using system agreements and supply chain solutions for our integrated supply customers. We will continue to review opportunities to grow through the acquisition of distributors and other businesses that would expand our geographic reach and/or add additional products and services. Our results will depend on our success in executing our internal growth strategy and, to the extent we complete any acquisitions, our ability to integrate such acquisitions effectively.
Our strategies to increase productivity include consolidated purchasing programs, centralizing product distribution, customer service and inside sales functions, and using information technology to increase employee productivity.

Year Ended December 31, 2022 compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021
SALES. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $366.9 million, or 32.9%, to approximately $1.5 billion from $1.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Service Centers Segment. Sales for the Service Centers segment increased by $192.9 million, or 23.6% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. Excluding $35.0 million of 2022 Service Centers segment sales from businesses acquired, Service Centers segment sales increased $157.9 million, or 19.3% from the prior year's corresponding period. This sales increase is primarily the result of increased sales of rotating equipment and bearings product lines to customers engaged in operating and maintenance services in the general industrial, diversified chemical, and oil and gas markets in connection with increased capital spending by oil and gas producers.
Innovative Pumping Solutions Segment. Sales for the IPS segment increased by $91.5 million, or 65.6% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. Excluding $6.6 million of 2022 IPS segment sales from businesses acquired, IPS segment sales increased $85.0 million, or 60.9% from the prior year's corresponding period. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in the capital spending by oil and gas producers and related businesses.
Supply Chain Services Segment. Sales for the SCS segment increased by $82.5 million, or 52.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The improvement in sales is primarily related to the addition of a new customer in the diversified chemicals market, as well as sales increases in the medical technology, food and beverage and oil and gas markets.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by approximately 99 basis points from the prior year's corresponding period. Excluding the impact of the businesses acquired, gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased by approximately 137 basis points. The decrease in the gross profit percentage excluding the businesses acquired is primarily the result of an approximate 133 basis point decrease in the gross profit percentage in our IPS segment, a 54 basis point decrease in the gross profit percentage in our SC segment and a 366 basis point decrease in the gross profit percentage in our SCS segment.
Service Centers Segment. The gross profit percentage for the Service Centers decreased approximately 21 basis points and approximately 54 basis points, excluding the impact for the businesses acquired, from the prior year's corresponding period. This was primarily as a result of product mix. Gross profit for the SC segment, excluding businesses acquired, increased $42.9 million, or 17.2 percent, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year’s corresponding period. This was primarily the result of increased sales of rotating equipment and bearings and power transmission products to customers engaged in non-oil and gas markets.
Innovative Pumping Solutions Segment. The 2022 gross profit percentage for the IPS segment decreased approximately 66 basis points from the prior year's corresponding period. Adjusting for the businesses acquired, gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased approximately 133 basis points from the prior year's corresponding period. The decrease in gross profit percentage as a percentage of sales is primarily due to a mix shift (lower margin oil and gas work versus domestic water and wastewater projects). Gross profit for the IPS segment, excluding businesses acquired, increased $22.5 million, primarily as a result of an increase in the capital spending by oil and gas producers and related businesses.
Supply Chain Services Segment. Gross profit dollars for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 increased $10.9 million or, 28.9 percent, compared to the prior year's corresponding period due to the addition of a new customer during the current year. As a percentage of sales, or gross margins, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 decreased approximately 366 basis points, compared to the prior year's corresponding period, due to the addition of the same customer and the profitability of this contract.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A"). SG&A for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by approximately $35.6 million, or 12.3%, to $324.3 million from $288.6 million for the prior year's corresponding period. SG&A expense from businesses acquired accounted for $8.9 million. Excluding expenses from businesses acquired, SG&A for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 increased by $26.8 million, or 9.3% from the prior year's corresponding period. The increase in SG&A excluding businesses acquired is primarily the result of increased payroll, incentive compensation and related taxes and 401(k) expenses as a result of increased business activity associated with recovery from the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $57.9 million to $97.8 million from $39.9 million in the prior year's corresponding period. This increase in operating income is primarily related to the aforementioned increased business activity across all segments.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $8.0 million compared to the prior year's corresponding period, primarily due to the Company borrowing an additional $105.0 million on its Term Loan B during the fourth quarter of 2022 as well as incurring higher than average interest rates during the year due to changes in the macro-economic environment and the associated increasing interest rate policy by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank. Both of the Company's facilities are subject to a variable interest rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.
INCOME TAXES. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 27.0 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, compared to 17.9 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the effective tax rate was increased by state taxes, foreign taxes, nondeductible expenses, return to provision adjustments, and uncertain tax positions recorded for research and development tax credits and was partially offset by research and development tax credits and other tax credits. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the effective tax rate was decreased by research and development tax credits and other tax credits and foreign tax credits, and was partially offset by state taxes, nondeductible expenses, and uncertain tax positions for research and development tax credits.

For the full year 2021 to 2020 comparative discussion, see Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results of operations as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), we disclose non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures we provide in this report should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are organic sales (Organic Sales), sales per business day ("Sales per Business Day"), free cash flow ("Free Cash Flow"), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA"). The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. These measures are not substitutes for their comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations. Management believes that presenting our non-GAAP financial measures (i.e., Organic Sales, Sales per Business Day, Free Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA) are useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating our results. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.
Organic Sales is defined as net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures for the respective periods. Organic Sales is a tool that can assist management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations.
30

Table of Contents
Sales per Business Day is defined as total net sales divided by business days for the period. Sales per Business Day assists management and investors in evaluating the Company's historical performance.
Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by operations less net purchases of property and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to fund acquisitions, make investments, repay debt obligations, repurchase shares of the Company's common stock, and for certain other activities.
EBITDA is defined as the sum of consolidated net income in such period, plus to the extent deducted from consolidated net income: (i) income tax expense, (ii) franchise tax expense, (iii) interest expense, (iv) amortization and depreciation during such period, (v) all non-cash charges and adjustments, and (vi) non-recurring cash expenses related to the Term Loan; in addition to these adjustments, we exclude, when they occur, the impacts of impairment losses and losses/(gains) on the sale of a business. EBITDA is a tool that can assist management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations.
From time to time, the Company incurs non-cash, unique or one-time items. As such, the Company will add these items back to determine an Adjusted EBITDA.
We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate and manage the Company's operations because we believe it provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing economic performance. We have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General Overview
As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and restricted cash of $46.1 million and credit facility availability of $132.4 million. We have a $135.0 million asset backed revolving line of credit (the "ABL Revolver"), partially offset by letters of credit of $2.6 million, that were due to mature in August 2022. The Company also has a Term Loan B with $428.1 million in borrowings as of December 31, 2022. On July 19, 2022, the Company amended and extended the ABL Revolver. The ABL Revolver matures on July 19, 2027, under which we had no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2022 .
Our primary source of capital is cash flow from operations, supplemented as necessary by Company shares, bank borrowings or other sources of debt. As a distributor of MRO products and services, we require significant amounts of working capital to fund inventories and accounts receivables. Additional cash is required for capital items for information technology, warehouse equipment, leasehold improvements, pump manufacturing equipment and safety services equipment. We also require cash to pay our lease obligations, fund project work-in-process and to service our debt.

Operating Activities
The Company generated $5.9 million of cash in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to generating $37.1 million of cash during the prior year's corresponding period. The $31.2 million decrease in the amount of cash generated between the two periods was primarily driven by the increase in accounts receivable, inventory, deferred income taxes and project work activity as a result of increased business activity. Cash is generally used to fund project costs ahead of actual billings and collection.
Investing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $53.4 million compared to $69.0 million in the corresponding period in 2021. This decrease of $15.6 million was primarily driven by a reduction in the total purchase price paid for acquisitions during 2022 of $48.5 million compared to $64.7 million for acquisitions in 2021.
Financing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash generated in financing activities was $44.3 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $38.5 million for the corresponding period in 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased approximately $47.9 million worth of outstanding shares compared to $33.5 million worth of outstanding shares for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net inflow of cash from financing activities in 2022 benefited from borrowing an additional $105.0 million on our Term Loan B. Debt issuance costs associated with the amendment of our Term Loan B and ABL Revolver was $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 we repurchased 1.3 million shares of the Company's common stock for approximately $35.2 million compared to 1.2 million shares of the Company's stock for approximately $33.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.
On December 15, 2022, the Company announced a new share repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $85.0 million worth, or 2.8 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions over the next 24 months.
On November 22, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment on its existing $330 million Senior Secured Term Loan (the "Term Loan Amendment"), borrowing an additional $105.0 million on the $330 million Senior Secured Term Loan (the “Term Loan Agreement”) which matures on December 23, 2027. $105.0 million that was added to the $330 million Senior Secured Term Loan (the “Term Loan Agreement”) which matures on December 23, 2027. There was $428.1 million outstanding as of December 31, 2022.
On June 15, 2021, the Company entered into a negotiated share repurchase agreement to repurchase certain shares of its common stock from certain of its shareholders agreeing to pay sellers over four equal quarterly installments, which are presented within the purchase of treasury stock in the cash flow statement. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, there were two installment payments totaling $13.6 million. There are no further installment payments outstanding as of December 31, 2022.
On May 12, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “program”) under which up to $85.0 million worth or 1.5 million shares of its outstanding common stock may be acquired in the open

market or through privately negotiated transactions over the next 24 months at the discretion of management. The Company completed the $85.0 million program in December 2022.
We believe the Company has adequate funding to support its working capital needs within the business.
At December 31, 2022, our total long-term debt, including the current portion, less principal repayments, was $428.1 million, or 54.0% of total capitalization (total long-term debt including current portion plus shareholders’ equity) of $793.5 million. Approximately $428.1 million of this outstanding debt bears interest at various floating rates. See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Free Cash Flow
We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to fund acquisitions, make investments, repay debt obligations, repurchase shares of the Company's common stock, and for certain other activities. Our Free Cash Flow, which is calculated as cash provided by operations less net purchase of property and equipment, was $1.0 million, $32.8 million and $103.1 million for years 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Free Cash Flow is not a measure of liquidity under U.S. GAAP, and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities. Free Cash Flow reconciles to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure of cash flows from operations.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow:

ABL Revolver and Senior Secured Term Loan B
ABL Revolver:
On July 19, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) that provided for a $135.0 million asset-backed revolving line of credit (the "ABL Revolver"). The ABL Credit Agreement amends and restates the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 29, 2017. The ABL Revolver matures on July 19, 2027. Total borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolver was $132.4 million, net of the impact of outstanding letters of credit $2.6 million.
As of December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under the ABL Revolver.
The ABL Credit Agreement may be increased in increments of $10.0 million up to an aggregate of $50.0 million. The ABL Revolver will mature on July 19, 2027. Interest shall accrue on outstanding borrowings at a rate equal to SOFR or CDOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% per annum, or at an alternate base rate, Canadian prime rate or Canadian base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% per annum, in each case, based upon the average daily excess availability under the ABL Revolver for the most recently completed calendar quarter. Fees ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum will be payable on the portion of the ABL Revolver not in use at any given time. The unused line fee was 0.375% at December 31, 2022. The interest rate for the ABL Revolver was 7.8% at December 31, 2022.
Senior Secured Term Loan B:
On November 22, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment on its existing $330 million Senior Secured Term Loan (the "Term Loan Amendment"), borrowing an additional $105.0 million that was added to the existing $330 million Senior Secured Term Loan (the “Term Loan Agreement”). There was $428.1 million outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement, as amended as of December 31, 2022.
34

Table of Contents
The Term Loan Amendment amends and supplements the Term Loan Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2020 and provides for, among other things, $105 million in new incremental commitments. The Term Loan Agreement and Term Loan Amendment amortizes in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% with the balance payable in December 2027, when the facility matures. Subject to securing additional lender commitments, the Term Loan Agreement allows for incremental increases in facility size up to an aggregate of $85.0 million, plus an additional amount such that the Company's Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) would not exceed 3.75 to 1.00. Interest accrues on the Term Loan at a rate equal to SOFR plus a margin of 5.25% for the SOFR Loans (as defined in the Term Loan Amendment). We are required to repay the Term Loan with certain asset sales and insurance proceeds, certain debt proceeds and 50% of excess cash flow, reducing to 25%, if our total leverage ratio is no more than 3.00 to 1.00 and 0%, if our total leverage ratio is no more than 2.50 to 1.00.
The interest rate for the Term Loan was 10.0% as of December 31, 2022.
Financial Covenants:
The Company's principal financial covenants under the ABL Credit Agreement and Term Loan B Agreement include:
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio – The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio under the ABL Credit Agreement is defined as the ratio for the most recently completed four-fiscal quarter period, of (a) EBITDA minus capital expenditures (excluding those financed or funded with debt (other than the ABL Loans), (ii) the portion thereof funded with the net proceeds from asset dispositions of equipment or real property which the Company is permitted to reinvest pursuant to the Term Loan and the portion thereof funded with the net proceeds of casualty insurance or condemnation awards in respect of any equipment and real estate which the Company is not required to use to prepay the ABL Loans pursuant to the Term Loan B Agreement or with the proceeds of casualty insurance or condemnation awards in respect of any other property) minus cash taxes paid (net of cash tax refunds received during such period), to (b) fixed charges. The Company is restricted from allowing its fixed charge coverage ratio be less than 1.00 to 1.00 during a compliance period, which is triggered when the availability under the ABL Revolver falls below a threshold set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with this covenant with a consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 3.59 to 1.00.
Secured Leverage Ratio – The Term Loan B Agreement requires that the Company’s Secured Leverage Ratio, defined as the ratio, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of consolidated secured debt (net of unrestricted cash, not to exceed $30 million) as of such day to EBITDA, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, is either equal to or less than as indicated in the table below:

| Fiscal Quarter | Secured Leverage Ratio
| December 31, 2022 | 5.00:1.00
| March 31, 2023 | 5.00:1.00
| June 30, 2023 and each Fiscal Quarter thereafter | 4.75:1.00

EBITDA as defined under the Term Loan B Agreement for financial covenant purposes means, without duplication, for any period of determination, the sum of, consolidated net income during such period; plus to the extent deducted from consolidated net income in such period: (i) income tax expense, (ii) franchise tax expense, (iii) interest expense, (iv) amortization and depreciation during such period, (v) all non-cash charges and adjustments, and (vi) non-recurring cash expenses related to the Term Loan, provided, that if the Company acquires or disposes of any property during such period (other than under certain exceptions specified in the Term Loan B Agreement, including the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business, then EBITDA shall be calculated, after giving pro forma effect to such acquisition or disposition, as if such acquisition or disposition had occurred on the first day of such period.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio was 2.83 to 1.00.
The ABL Loans and the Term Loan are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which the Company may agree to indemnify customers from any losses incurred relating to the services we perform. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made related to these indemnities have been immaterial.
DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting amounts are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates. Making estimates and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
36

Table of Contents
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting and Business Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, which is incorporated herein by reference. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably possible could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 (or allowance for credit losses) are made monthly and adjustments are made periodically (as circumstances warrant) based upon management’s best estimate of the collectability of such accounts under the current expected credit losses model. 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.
Uncertainties require the Company to make frequent judgments and estimates regarding a customer’s ability to pay amounts due in order to assess and quantify an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. The primary factors used to quantify the allowance are customer delinquency, bankruptcy, and the Company’s estimate of its ability to collect outstanding receivables based on the number of days a receivable has been outstanding.
The Company has customers that operate in the energy industry. The cyclical nature of the industry may affect customers’ operating performance and cash flows, which could impact the Company’s ability to collect on these obligations.
The Company continues to monitor the economic climate in which its customers operate and the aging of its accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the aging of accounts under the aging schedule method, and an individual assessment of each invoice. Under this method, a historical credit loss rate is determined by age bucket or how long a receivable has been outstanding. The historical loss rates for each respective age bucket are then adjusted for current conditions using reasonable and supportable data points. The overall allowance is adjusted accordingly based upon historical experience and economic factors that impact our business and customers. At December 31, 2022, the allowance was approximately 2.3% of the gross accounts receivable. While credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, should actual write-offs differ from estimates, revisions to the allowance would be required.
Impairment of Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets
The Company tests goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter 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 permits 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 quantitative test for that reporting unit. Goodwill is deemed to be impaired if the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s net assets including goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value.
37

Table of Contents
The Company determines fair value using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows and market multiples analyses. These types of analyses contain uncertainties as they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgments regarding industry economic factors and the profitability of future business strategies. The Company’s policy is to conduct impairment testing based on current business strategies, taking into consideration current industry and economic conditions, as well as the Company’s future expectations. Key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow valuation model include, among others, discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections and terminal value rates. Discount rates and cash flow projections are the most sensitive and susceptible to change as they require significant management judgment. Discount rates are determined using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC considers market an industry data, as well as Company-specific risk factors for each reporting unit in determining the appropriate discount rate to be used. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in a similar business. Management uses industry considerations and Company-specific historical and projected results to develop cash flow projections for each reporting unit. Additionally, as part of the market multiples approach, the Company utilizes market data from publicly traded entities whose businesses operate in industries comparable to the Company’s reporting units, adjusted for certain factors that increase comparability.
The Company cannot predict the occurrence of events or circumstances that could adversely affect the fair value of goodwill. Such events may include, but are not limited to, deterioration of the economic environment, increase in the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, material negative changes in relationships with significant customers, reductions in valuations of other public companies in the Company’s industry, or strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions. If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s current estimates and assumptions, impairment of goodwill could be required.
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company’s market capitalization and overall sales declined significantly driven by then current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions including the collapse of oil prices caused by both surplus production and supply as well as the decrease in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the uncertainty related to oil demand had a significant impact on the investment and operating plans of many of our customers. Based on these events, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair values of certain of its reporting units were less than their carrying values. Therefore, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, goodwill was evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company had four goodwill reporting units: Service Centers, Innovative Pumping Solutions, Canada and Supply Chain Services. The Company determined the fair values of two reporting units with goodwill were below their carrying values, resulting in a $36.4 million goodwill impairment, which was included in impairments and other charges in the consolidated statement of operations. As the world and the economy began to reopen during 2021, the lifting of mandates and the dissemination of vaccines eased the impacts of the pandemic. In light of these improvements, we performed an assessment of our goodwill and determined that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value and therefore no impairment of goodwill was recorded for 2022 and 2021.
Innovative Pumping Solutions
The oil and gas industry experienced unprecedented disruption during 2020 as a result of a combination of factors, including the substantial decline in global demand for oil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent mitigation efforts. These factors, along with the continued impact of COVID-19, constituted a triggering event and required a goodwill impairment analysis for our manufacturing reporting unit. With the adverse economic impacts discussed above and the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the results of the impairment test indicated that the carrying amount of the manufacturing reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, and a full impairment of its remaining goodwill was required. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill impairment calculations included, but were not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, discount rates, inflationary factors, and the cost of capital. To evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations for the reporting unit, the Company applied a hypothetical 100 bps reduction in the weighted average cost of capital, and separately, increased the revenue projections by 10 percent, holding other factors steady. Even with more favorable assumptions, the results of these sensitivity analyses led the Company to record a non-cash impairment charge of $16.0 million for goodwill during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. As described above, no impairment of goodwill was recorded for 2022 and 2021.

Canada
In 2020, as a result of the reductions in capital spending for oil and gas producers and processors and the economic repercussions from the COVID-19 pandemic, we determined those events constituted a triggering event that required us to review the recoverability of our long-lived assets and perform an interim goodwill impairment assessment as of July 31, 2020. Our review resulted in the recording of impairments and other charges during the third quarter of 2020. As a result of our goodwill impairment assessments, we determined that the fair value of our Canadian reporting unit was lower than its net book value and, therefore, resulted in a partial goodwill impairment. The enterprise value of the Canadian reporting unit at July 31, 2020 was less than its carrying value by approximately 40 percent. This resulted in a partial goodwill impairment of approximately $20.5 million for Canada. Per the impairment test and respective sensitivity analyses, it was noted that a decrease of approximately 480 basis points in the pre-tax discount rate and an approximately 150 basis points increase in our revenue long-term growth rate projections would cause the Canada business enterprise value to increase to the level of its carrying value and thus avoid a full impairment. The easing of restrictions and the distribution of vaccines contributed to significant improvements in 2021. As a result, no impairment of goodwill was recorded for 2022 and 2021.
Other Impairments and methodology
The negative market indicators described above were triggering events that indicated that certain of the Company’s long-lived intangible and tangible assets and additional inventory items may also have been impaired. Recoverability testing indicated that certain long-lived assets and inventory were indeed impaired or otherwise not recoverable. The estimated fair value of these assets was determined to be below their carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded the following additional impairment and other charges for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 as detailed in the table below (in thousands).

|  |  | Twelve months ended December 31, 2020
| Long-lived asset impairments |  | $ | 4,775 |
| Goodwill impairments |  | 36,435 |
| Inventory and work-in-progress costs |  | 18,673 |
| Total impairment and other charges |  | $ | 59,883 |

The Company determined the fair value of both long-lived assets and goodwill, discussed above, primarily using the discounted cash flow method and in the case of goodwill, a multiples-based market approach for comparable companies. Given the current volatile market environment and inherent complexities it presents, the Company utilized third-party valuation advisors to assist us with these valuations. These analyses included significant judgment, including management’s short-term and long-term forecast of operating performance, discount rates based on the weighted average cost of capital, as derived from peers, revenue growth rates, profitability margins, capital expenditures, the timing of future cash flows based on an eventual recovery of the oil and gas industry, and in the case of long-lived assets, the remaining useful life and service potential of the asset, all of which were classified as Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. These impairment assessments incorporate inherent uncertainties, including supply and demand for the Company’s products and services and future market conditions, which are difficult to predict in volatile economic environments. The discount rates utilized to value the reporting units were in a range from 14.8 percent to 16.4 percent. Given the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and related market conditions, we cannot reasonably estimate the period that these events will persist or the full extent of the impact they will have on our business. If market conditions continue to deteriorate, including crude oil prices further declining or remaining at low levels for a sustained period, we may record further asset impairments, which may include an impairment of the carrying value of our goodwill associated with other reporting units.
For inventory and work-in-progress we evaluated the recoverability based upon their net realizable value, factoring in the costs to complete work-in-progress and the salability of inventory items primarily tied to oil and gas. The net realizable value was derived from quotes for similar items and recent transactions.

Revenue Recognition
In our Innovative Pumping Solutions segment, a substantial portion of our sales to customers are pursuant to contracts to assemble, fabricate and or deliver tangible assets to customer specifications that can range from three to eighteen months or more. We account for these contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, which is an input method as defined by ASC 606, Revenue Recognition. Under this method, we recognize sales and profit based upon the cost-to-cost method, in which sales and profit are recorded based upon the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs to complete the asset. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires the Company to estimate the project costs at completion. We are required to make assumptions relating to items such as cost of materials, labor productivity and cost, and overhead.
Management performs detailed quarterly reviews of all of our open contracts. Based upon these reviews, we record the effects of adjustments in profit estimates each period. If at any time management determines that in the case of a particular contract total costs will exceed total contract revenue, we record a provision for the entire anticipated contract loss at that time. The percentage-of-completion method requires that we estimate project costs at completion. Revenues are estimated based upon the original contract price and change orders. Contract costs may be incurred over a period of several months, and the estimation of these costs requires judgment based upon the acquired knowledge and experience of program managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Estimated costs are based primarily on purchase contract terms and assumptions relating to terms such as estimated cost of materials, labor productivity and cost, and overhead. The uncertainty as to the future availability of materials and labor resources could affect the Company's ability to accurately estimate future contract costs.
Management continues to monitor and update project cost estimates quarterly for all open contracts. A significant change in an estimate on several projects could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.
Purchase Accounting
The Company 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. Our purchase price allocation methodology contains uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. Management estimates the fair value of assets and liabilities based upon quoted market prices, the carrying value of the acquired assets and widely accepted valuation techniques, including the income approach and the market approach. Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur which could affect the accuracy of our fair value estimates, including assumptions regarding industry economic factors and business strategies. We typically engage an independent valuation firm to assist in estimating the fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets. We do not expect that there will be material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to complete the purchase price allocation and estimate the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities for the acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2022. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material.
Some of our acquisitions may include additional compensation such as contingent consideration. Contingent consideration is a financial liability recorded at fair value upon acquisition. The amount of contingent consideration to be paid is based on the occurrence of future events, such as the achievement of certain revenue or earnings milestones of the target after consummation. Accordingly, the estimate of fair value contains uncertainties as it involves judgment about the likelihood and timing of achieving these milestones as well as the discount rate used. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration obligation result from changes to the assumptions used to estimate the probability of success for each milestone, the anticipated timing of achieving the milestones and the discount period and rate to be applied. A change in any of these assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on the results from operations. The impact of changes in key assumptions is described in Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities.

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. We are required to assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets, which may include net operating loss carryforwards, tax credits or temporary differences that are expected to be deductible in future years, will be recoverable from future taxable income. In making that assessment, we consider the nature of the deferred tax assets and related statutory limits on utilization, recent operating results, future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If, based upon available evidence, recovery of the full amount of the deferred tax assets is not likely, we provide a valuation allowance on amounts not likely to be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. Assessments are made at each balance sheet date to determine how much of each deferred tax asset is realizable. These estimates are subject to change in the future, particularly if earnings of a particular subsidiary are significantly higher or lower than expected, or if management takes operational or tax planning actions that could impact the future taxable earnings of a subsidiary.
In the normal course of business, we are audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, and are periodically challenged regarding the amount of taxes due. These challenges relate primarily to the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. A position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is 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. Although we believe we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, no assurance can be given with respect to the final resolution of these matters. We adjust reserves for our uncertain tax positions due to changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, judicial rulings, refinement of estimates or realization of earnings or deductions that differ from our estimates. To the extent that the outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences generally will impact our provision for income taxes in the period in which such a determination is made. Our provisions for income taxes include the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate as well as related interest and penalties. Our effective tax rate in a given period could be impacted if, upon final resolution with taxing authorities, we prevail on positions for which unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued, or are required to pay amounts in excess of accrued unrecognized tax benefits.
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 2015. 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.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.
ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our market risk results primarily from volatility in interest rates and fluctuations in the Canadian dollar.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to risk resulting from changes in interest rates as a result of our issuance of variable rate debt. To reduce our interest rate risk we may enter into financial derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, interest rate swaps and rate lock agreements to manage and mitigate our exposure. As of December 31, 2022, we had no interest rate hedges in place. Based on a sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2022, it was estimated that if short-term interest rates average 100 basis points higher (lower) in 2022 than in 2021, interest expense, would fluctuate by $4.3 million before tax. Comparatively, based on a sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2021, had short-term interest rates averaged 100 basis points higher (lower) in 2021 than in 2020, it was estimated that interest expense would have fluctuated by approximately $3.3 million. These amounts were estimated by considering the effect of the hypothetical interest rates on variable-rate debt outstanding each year.

Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risk from our Canadian operations. To mitigate risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations, contracts may be denominated in or indexed to the U.S. dollar and/or local inflation rates, or investments may be naturally hedged through debt and other liabilities denominated or issued in the foreign currency. To monitor our currency exchange rate risks, we use sensitivity analysis, which measures the effect of devaluation of the Canadian dollar. An average 10% devaluation in the Canadian dollar exchange rate during 2022 would have resulted in an estimated net loss on the translation of local currency earnings of approximately $0.4 million on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Also see “Risk Factors,” included in Item 1A of this Report for additional risk factors associated with our business.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DXP Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), of equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO because material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date as the Company did not design and maintain (i) an effective control environment due to a lack of a sufficient complement of resources with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately, and an appropriate level of knowledge and experience to establish effective processes and controls, (ii) effective controls over the timely clearing of discrepancies arising from the three-way-match process of matching purchase orders, invoices, and item receipts, (iii) effective controls over the completeness, occurrence, cut-off, accuracy and presentation and disclosure of revenue, and (iv) effective controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and adequately review user access to transactions within business processes relevant to significant accounts and disclosures within the general ledger system across the Company.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in management's report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
44

Table of Contents
Our audit of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Sullivan Environmental Technologies, Inc. (Sullivan), Cisco Air Systems, Inc. (Cisco), Drydon Equipment, Inc. (Drydon), and Burlingame Engineers, Inc. (Burlingame) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2022. We have also excluded Sullivan, Cisco, Drydon, and Burlingame from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Sullivan, Cisco, Drydon, and Burlingame are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total sales excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting collectively represent approximately 3% and 3%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Revenue Recognition - Estimated Costs to Complete Contracts - Innovative Pumping Solutions Segment
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, revenue recognized under the percentage-of-completion method was $213.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. As disclosed by management, a substantial portion of the Innovative Pumping Solutions segment sales are made pursuant to contracts to fabricate tangible assets to customer specifications that can range from three to eighteen months or more. The Company accounts for these contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, which is an input method as defined by ASC 606, Revenue Recognition. Under this method, the Company recognizes sales and profit based upon the cost-to-cost method, in which sales and profit are recorded based upon the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs to complete the asset. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires management to estimate the project costs at completion. Revenues are estimated based upon the original contract price and change orders. Contract costs may be incurred over a period of several months, and the estimation of these costs requires judgment based upon the acquired knowledge and experience of program managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Estimated costs are based primarily on purchase contract terms and assumptions relating to items such as cost of materials, labor productivity and cost, and overhead.

Table of Contents
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the estimated costs to complete contracts used in revenue recognition for the Innovative Pumping Solutions segment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the estimated costs to complete the contracts and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating the significant assumption related to the estimated cost of materials. As described in the “Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section, a material weakness was identified related to this matter.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others, evaluating and testing management’s process for determining the estimated costs to complete the contracts for a sample of contracts, which included evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumption used by management related to the estimated cost of materials. Evaluating management's ability to reasonably estimate costs to complete contracts involved (i) obtaining and inspecting executed purchase orders and agreements, (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumption related to estimated cost of materials by considering customer specifications and associated vendor quotes, and (iii) performing a comparison of the originally estimated and actual costs incurred on similar completed contracts.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DXP Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, because of the effects of the material weaknesses described below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment in Item 9A:
a.The Company did not design and maintain effective internal controls to ensure that aged items recorded in the un-invoiced inventory accounts payable are monitored, addressed and cleared in a timely manner.
b.The Company did not design and maintain effective management review controls to ensure the proper application of generally accepted accounting principles (ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers) related to the percentage-of-completion method, an input method as defined by ASC 606, of recognizing revenue from contracts with customers.
These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2021 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report on those consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition – Revenue Recognized Over Time
As discussed in Note 2 and Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers in its Innovative Pumping Solutions segment under the percentage-of-completion method, an input method as defined by ASC 606. For these transactions, revenue is recognized over time based on cost incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated cost.
We identified revenue recognized over time as a critical audit matter based on the manual and subjective nature of the Company determining estimated costs to complete, as well as insufficient internal policies, procedures, and software. Evaluating revenue recognized over time under the percentage-of-completion method required extensive audit effort and a high degree of auditor judgment.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
a.Understanding the design and effectiveness of internal controls around management’s review of the schedule of contracts and related contract progress;
b.Testing the calculation of revenue recognized over time through an examination of billings, cash collections, costs incurred, and other related components;
c.Sampling contracts with customers, including confirming contract and progress details with project managers; and,
d.Evaluating management’s expected costs to be incurred on projects for reasonableness by performing a retrospective analysis.

DXP ENTERPRISES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO 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. The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of distributing maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products, and service to customers serving a variety of end markets. Additionally, the Company provides integrated, custom pump skid packages, pump remanufacturing and manufactures branded private label pumps to energy and industrial customers. The Company is organized into three business segments: Service Centers (“SC”), Supply Chain Services (“SCS”) and Innovative Pumping Solutions (“IPS”). See Note 22 - Segment Reporting for discussion of the business segments.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
The Company was the primary beneficiary of a VIE in which it owned 47.5% of the VIE's equity. The Company consolidated the VIE within its financial statements. In November 2022, the Company sold its interest in the VIE and ceased the consolidation of the VIE within the Company's financial statements. The losses associated with the VIE that occurred prior to the deconsolidation are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and loss. These losses were $0.2 million, $0.9 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Combinations
We allocate the total purchase price of a business combination to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, with the excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. For material acquisitions, we engage third-party valuation specialists to assist us in determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including goodwill, based on recognized business valuation methodologies. If the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate will be recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition, and not later than one year from the acquisition date, we will record any material adjustments to the initial estimate in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, as applicable. An income, market, or cost valuation method may be utilized to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed in a business combination.
We expense acquisition-related costs as incurred in connection with each business combination.
Foreign Currency
The financial statements of the Company’s Canadian 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). Gains and losses on transactions denominated in foreign currency are reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires 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
The Company places its cash with institutions with high credit quality. However, at certain times, such cash may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company has not historically experienced any losses when in excess of these limits.
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. Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made monthly and adjustments are made periodically based upon management’s best estimate of the collectability of such accounts under the current expected credit losses model. 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.
Changes in this allowance for 2022, 2021 and 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

| Years Ended December 31,
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Balance at beginning of year | $ | 7,759 |  |  | $ | 8,628 |  |  | $ | 8,929 |
Charged to costs and expenses | 659 |  |  | 67 |  |  | 1,194 |
Charged to other accounts(1) | (38) |  |  | 12 |  |  | 21 |
Deductions(2) | (770) |  |  | (948) |  |  | (1,516) |
Balance at end of year | $ | 7,610 |  |  | $ | 7,759 |  |  | $ | 8,628 |

(1) Primarily due to translation adjustments
(2) Uncollectible accounts written off, net of recoveries
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of equipment purchased for resale or finished goods and are priced at lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being primarily determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company regularly reviews inventory to evaluate continued demand and records provisions for the difference between cost and net realizable value arising from excess and obsolete items on hand. Provisions are provided against inventories for estimated excess and obsolescence based upon the aging of the inventories and market trends and are applied as a reduction in cost of the associated inventory.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded on a historical cost basis. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method 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.
The principal estimated useful lives used in determining depreciation are 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 for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter 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.
55

Table of Contents
The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment first permits 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 quantitative test for that reporting unit. Should the reporting unit's carrying amount exceed the fair value, then an impairment charge for the excess would be recognized. The impairment charge is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit and goodwill will not be reduced below zero. The Company performed qualitative tests and determined no impairment of goodwill was required in 2022 and 2021. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, goodwill was evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level resulting in a $36.4 million goodwill impairment which was included in impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill
The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability 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 2022 and 2021. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, long-lived assets were evaluated for impairment resulting in a $4.8 million long-lived assets impairment which was included in impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations.

Revenue Recognition
The Company primarily provides purchased products distributed through its branch of local Service Centers and or provides services through its local branch network and recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of the product or service performed transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment or completion from a DXP facility or directly from a supplier. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the products and services provided, net of allowances for product returns, and any taxes collected from customers that will be remitted to governmental authorities. The Service Centers segment primarily provides a wide range of maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products, equipment and integrated services, including logistics capabilities, to industrial customers. The Supply Chain Services segment also provides a wide range of MRO products as well as manages all or part of various customers' supply chain, including warehouse and inventory management services. Revenue is recognized upon the completion of our performance obligation(s) under the sales agreement. The majority of the Service Centers and Supply Chain Services segment revenues originate from the satisfaction of a single performance obligation--the delivery of products. Revenues are recognized when an agreement is in place, the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied, and the price or consideration to be received is fixed and allocated to the performance obligation(s) in the contract. We believe our performance obligation has been satisfied when title passes to the customer or services have been rendered under the contract. Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes. The Company reserves for potential customer returns based upon historical levels.
The Company also assembles, kits, fabricates and assembles custom-made pump packages, remanufactures pumps, and manufactures branded private label pumps substantially within our Innovative Pumping Solutions segment. For binding agreements to assemble, fabricate and direct tangible assets to customer specifications, the Company recognizes revenues over time when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits of the work performed. This occurs when the products have no alternative use for us and we have a right to payment for the work completed to date plus a reasonable profit margin. Contracts include cancellation provisions that require the customer to reimburse us for costs incurred through the date of cancellation. We recognize revenue for these contracts using the percentage of completion method, an "input method" as defined by ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Under this method, we recognize sales and profit based upon the cost-to-cost method, in which sales and profit are recorded based upon the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs to complete the asset. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires the Company to estimate the project costs at completion. Revenues are estimated based upon the original contract price and change orders. Contract costs may be incurred over a period of several months, and the estimation of these costs requires judgment based upon the acquired knowledge and experience of program managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Estimated costs are based primarily on purchase contract terms and estimated cost of materials, labor productivity and cost, and overhead. Percentage of completion revenues were $213.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.
Additionally, revenue in the fourth quarter included an out-of-period adjustment that increased revenue by $21.2 million, of which $10.6 million relates to the year ended December 31, 2021. The impact of this out-of-period adjustment was an increase to income before income taxes of $5.6 million and $3.0 million for the fourth quarter in 2022 and the year-ended December 31, 2022, respectively. We evaluated the impact of this error on our previously issued financial statements, assessing both quantitatively and qualitatively, and concluded the error was not material to any of our prior period or the current period financial statements.
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 $175,000 of risk on each medical claim for our employees and their dependents with the exception of less than 0.05% of employees where a higher risk is retained. 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 could be materially different from the accrual.
The accrual for these claims at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $2.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

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.
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 under a more likely than not criterion.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
A position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is 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 2016. 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.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company’s other comprehensive (loss) income is from translating foreign subsidiaries to the reporting currency.
NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On April 1, 2022, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, along with its subsequently issued guidance, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The provisions of this update are applicable to us through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, to address diversity in practice on how an acquirer should recognize and measure revenue contracts acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 will require an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets acquired and contract liabilities assumed in a business combination in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
For the Company, ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption of ASU 2021-08 is permitted, including in an interim period. The Company expects the new Standard to have an impact for future acquisitions. From time to time the Company does acquire businesses that perform project-based work and therefore include Contract Assets and Liabilities.
All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 4 - LEASES
We lease office space, warehouses, land, automobiles, office, and manufacturing equipment. All of our leases are classified as operating leases. Our leases have remaining lease terms within 1 month to 9 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 14 years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Our lease agreements do not include options to purchase the leased property. Lease costs recognized in Selling, general, and administrative expense was $24.5 million and $24.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

NOTE 5 - 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.
Our acquisitions may include contingent consideration as part of the purchase price. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the contingent payments to be made using a weighted probability of possible payments. The unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of the contingent consideration include management's assumptions about the likelihood of payment based on the established benchmarks and discount rates based on an internal rate of return analysis. The fair value measurement includes inputs that are Level 3 inputs as discussed above, as they are not observable in the market. Should actual results increase or decrease as compared to the assumptions used in our analysis, the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations will increase or decrease, up to the contracted limit, as applicable. Changes in the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration are measured each reporting period and reflected in our results of operations.

Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2022, we recorded liabilities in other current and long-term liabilities for contingent consideration associated with the acquisitions of PMI, Burlingame, Drydon, Cisco and Sullivan of $1.2 million, $0.5 million, $2.8 million, $4.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. See further discussion at Note 17 - Business Acquisitions. For the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each category therein and gains or losses recognized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022:

Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
| Contingent Liability for Accrued Consideration
| (in thousands)
*Balance at December 31, 2021 | $ | 905 |
Acquisitions and settlements: |
Acquisitions (Note 17) | 8,200 |
Settlements | (1,250) |
Total remeasurement adjustments: |
Changes in fair value recorded in other (income) expense, net | 2,311 |
*Balance at December 31, 2022 | $ | 10,166 |
The amount of total (gains) or losses for the year included in earnings or changes to net assets, attributable to changes in unrealized (gains) or losses relating to assets or liabilities still held at December 31, 2022. | 2,311 |
*Amounts included in other current liabilities were $5.5 million and $0.5 million for the periods ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Amounts included in long-term liabilities were $4.7 million and $0.4 million for the periods ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. |

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's contingent consideration liabilities designated as Level 3 are as follows:

(in thousands, unaudited) | Fair Value at December 31, 2022 | Valuation Technique | Significant Unobservable Inputs
Contingent consideration: (PMI, Burlingame, Drydon, Cisco and Sullivan acquisitions) | $ | 10,166 |  | Discounted cash flow and weighted probability of possible payments | Annualized EBITDA and probability of achievement

Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs
As presented in the table above, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration related to the acquisitions are annualized EBITDA forecasts developed by the Company's management and the probability of achievement of those EBITDA results. The discount rate used in the calculation was 7.8%. Significant increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significantly (lower) higher fair value measurement. The maximum amount of contingent consideration payable under these arrangements is $10.3 million.
Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2022 but which require disclosure of their fair values include: cash, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related benefits, and the revolving line of credit and term loan debt under our syndicated credit agreement facility (Note 10). The Company believes that the estimated fair value of such instruments at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 approximates their carrying value as reported on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 7 – CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Under our customized pump production contracts in our IPS segment, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units, or completion of a contract. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. Our contract assets are presented as “Cost and estimated profits in excess of billings” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, we sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities that are presented as “Billings in excess of costs and estimated profits” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Costs and estimated profits on uncompleted contracts and related amounts billed for 2022 and 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, $3.6 million of the balances that were previously classified as contract liabilities at the beginning of the period were recognized into revenues. Contract assets and liability changes were primarily due to normal activity and timing differences between our performance and customer payments.

ABL Revolver and Senior Secured Term Loan B
ABL Revolver:
On July 19, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) that provided for a $135.0 million asset-backed revolving line of credit (the "ABL Revolver"). The ABL Credit Agreement amends and restates the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 29, 2017. The ABL Revolver matures on July 19, 2027. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the amount available to be borrowed under our credit facility increased to $132.4 million compared to $131.7 million at December 31, 2021 primarily as a result of outstanding letters of credit.
As of December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under the ABL Revolver.
Subject to the conditions set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement, the ABL Revolver may be increased in increments of $10.0 million up to an aggregate of $50.0 million. The ABL Revolver will mature on July 19, 2027. Interest shall accrue on outstanding borrowings at a rate equal to SOFR or CDOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% per annum, or at an alternate base rate, Canadian prime rate or Canadian base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% per annum, in each case, based upon the average daily excess availability under the ABL Revolver for the most recently completed calendar quarter. Fees ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum will be payable on the portion of the facility not in use at any given time. The unused line fee was 0.375% at December 31, 2022.
The interest rate for the ABL Revolver was 7.8% at December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents
Senior Secured Term Loan B:
On November 22, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment on its existing $330 million Senior Secured Term Loan (the "Term Loan Amendment"), borrowing an additional $105 million that was added to the existing $330 million Senior Secured Term Loan (the “Term Loan Agreement”). There was $428.1 million outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement, as amended as of December 31, 2022.
The Term Loan Amendment amends and supplements the Term Loan Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2020, and provides for among other things, $105 million in new incremental commitments. The Term Loan Agreement and Term Loan Amendment amortizes in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% with the balance payable in December 2027, when the facility matures. Subject to securing additional lender commitments, the Term Loan Agreement allows for incremental increases in facility size up to an aggregate of $85.0 million, plus an additional amount such that the Company's Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) would not exceed 3.75 to 1.00. Interest accrues on the Term Loan at a rate equal to SOFR plus a margin of 5.25% for the SOFR Loans (as defined in the Term Loan Amendment). We are required to repay the Term Loan with certain asset sales and insurance proceeds, certain debt proceeds and 50% of excess cash flow--reducing to (i.) 25% if our total leverage ratio is no more than 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii.) 0% if our total leverage ratio is no more than 2.50 to 1.00.
The interest rate for the Term Loan was 10.0% as of December 31, 2022.
Financial Covenants:
The Company's principal financial covenants under the ABL Credit Agreement and Term Loan B Agreement include:
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio – The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio under the ABL Credit Agreement is defined as the ratio for the most recently completed four-fiscal quarter period, of (a) EBITDA minus capital expenditures (excluding those financed or funded with debt (other than the ABL Loans), (ii) the portion thereof funded with the net proceeds from asset dispositions of equipment or real property which the Company is permitted to reinvest pursuant to the Term Loan and the portion thereof funded with the net proceeds of casualty insurance or condemnation awards in respect of any equipment and real estate which DXP is not required to use to prepay the ABL Loans pursuant to the Term Loan B Agreement or with the proceeds of casualty insurance or condemnation awards in respect of any other property) minus cash taxes paid (net of cash tax refunds received during such period), to (b) fixed charges. The Company is restricted from allowing its fixed charge coverage ratio be less than 1.00 to 1.00 during a compliance period, which is triggered when the availability under the ABL Revolver falls below a threshold set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 3.59 to 1.00.
Secured Leverage Ratio – The Term Loan B Agreement requires that the Company’s Secured Leverage Ratio, defined as the ratio, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of consolidated secured debt (net of unrestricted cash, not to exceed $150 million) as of such day to EBITDA, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, is either equal to or less than as indicated in the table below:

| Fiscal Quarter | Secured Leverage Ratio
| December 31, 2022 | 5.00:1:00
| March 31, 2023 | 5.00:1:00
| June 30, 2023 and each Fiscal Quarter thereafter | 4.75:1:00

EBITDA as defined under the Term Loan B Agreement for financial covenant purposes means, without duplication, for any period of determination, the sum of, consolidated net income during such period; plus to the extent deducted from consolidated net income in such period: (i) income tax expense, (ii) franchise tax expense, (iii) interest expense, (iv) amortization and depreciation during such period, (v) all non-cash charges and adjustments, and (vi) non-recurring cash expenses related to the Term Loan, provided, that if the Company acquires or disposes of any property during such period (other than under certain exceptions specified in the Term Loan B Agreement, including the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business, then EBITDA shall be calculated, after giving pro forma effect to such acquisition or disposition, as if such acquisition or disposition had occurred on the first day of such period.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio was 2.83 to 1.00.

The Term Loan Amendment provides for $105 million in new Incremental Term Loan Commitments (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement). The existing and new borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement mature on December 23, 2027 and are priced at Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 5.25 percent.
Deferred financing costs of $7.9 million were associated with modified and new debt and will be amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the life of the term loan. In connection with the Term Loan Amendment we expensed third-party fees of $2.0 million, which was included in interest expense during 2022.

The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future and in the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. If the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2022, the valuation allowance primarily relates to federal and foreign capital loss carryforwards.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had recorded a total tax benefit of $23.3 million related to federal and state research and development tax credits. This benefit is partially offset by $5.9 million uncertain tax position due to the uncertainty related to the realizability of the federal research and development tax credits.
To the extent penalties and interest would be assessed on any underpayment of income tax, such accrued amounts are classified as a component of income tax provision (benefit) in the consolidated financial statements consistent with Company's policy. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $0.1 million tax expense for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, various states, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has significant operations in the United States and Canada and to a lesser extent in various other international jurisdictions. Tax years that remain subject to examination vary by legal entity but are generally open in the United States for the tax years ended after 2016 and outside the United States for the tax years ended after 2015.

The shares of restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors of the Company vest one year after the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured based upon the closing prices of the Company's common stock on the grant dates and is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards.

Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the preferred stock was converted into common stock. Restricted stock is considered a participating security and is included in the computation of basic earnings per share as if vested. The preferred stock is convertible into 840,000 shares of common stock. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, we excluded from the diluted EPS calculation 840,000 convertible preferred shares since the effect would have been antidilutive.

Of the $19.4 million of acquired intangible assets, $1.4 million was provisionally assigned to non-compete agreements that are subject to amortization over 5 years, consistent with the terms of the agreements. In addition, $18.0 million was assigned to customer relationships and will be amortized over a period of 8 years. The goodwill total of $38.8 million is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of each entity.
In aggregate, the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred for the four businesses acquired in 2022 totaled $67.9 million, which consisted of the following:

| Purchase Price Consideration (in millions) | Total Consideration
| Cash payments | $ | 53.9 |
| Fair value of stock issued | 5.8 |
| Contingent consideration | 8.2 |
| Total consideration | $ | 67.9 |

The fair value of the approximately 267,248 common shares issued was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the respective acquisition date, adjusted for holding restrictions following consummation.
The Company recognized $0.6 million of acquisition related costs that were expensed in the current period. These costs are included in the consolidated income statement in Selling, General and Administrative costs. The Company also recognized an immaterial amount in costs associated with issuing the shares issued as consideration in the business combination. Those costs were deducted from the recognized proceeds of issuance within stockholders’ equity.
As third-party or internal valuations are finalized, certain tax aspects of the foregoing transactions are completed and working capital reviews are concluded. Adjustments may be made to the fair value of assets acquired and in some cases, total purchase price through the end of each measurement period; generally one year following the applicable acquisition date. Various adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and in some cases total purchase price, have been made to certain business combinations since the respective dates of acquisition. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded measurement-period adjustments that decreased goodwill by approximately $4.0 million, primarily for changes in intangible assets acquired and deferred tax liability. The impact of these adjustments to the consolidated statement of operations were immaterial.
Goodwill recognized in connection with these acquisitions was attributable to the synergies expected to be realized and improvements in the businesses after the acquisitions. Goodwill related to asset acquisitions is currently deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill related to stock acquisitions is capitalized to the stock basis of the acquisition for income tax purposes and is deductible upon disposition of the stock.
Contingent Consideration
The acquisitions of Burlingame, Drydon, Cisco and Sullivan included a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid based on the achievement of annual EBITDA targets over a one to three year period. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company may be required to pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between zero and $10.3 million. The combined fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on each acquisition date of $8.2 million was estimated by using a weighted probability of possible payments. That measure is based on significant Level 3 inputs not observable in the market. The significant assumption includes a discount rate of 7.8%. Changes in the fair value measurement each period reflect the passage of time as well as the impact of adjustments, if any, to the likelihood of achieving the specified targets. The fair value measurement includes earnings forecasts which are a Level 3 measurement as discussed in Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities. The fair value of the contingent consideration is reviewed quarterly over the earn-out period to compare actual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") achieved to the estimated EBITDA used in our forecasts.
NOTE 18 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome or estimate the financial impact of these disputes, it believes that the ultimate resolution will not have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

NOTE 19 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company offers a 401(k) plan which is eligible to substantially all employees in the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company elected to match employee contributions at a rate of 50 percent of up to 4 percent of salary deferral. The Company contributed $2.8 million, $1.7 million, and $0.7 million to the 401(k) plan in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. In March 2020, the Company suspended the employee match program which was reinstated in January 2021.
NOTE 20 - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Other comprehensive income generally represents all changes in shareholders’ equity during the period, except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, shareholders.
During 2012 and 2013, the Company acquired four entities that operate in Canada. These Canadian entities maintain financial data in Canadian dollars. Upon consolidation, the Company translates the financial data from these foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars and records cumulative translation adjustments in other comprehensive income. The Company recorded $(2.4) million, $0.7 million and $2.3 million in translation adjustments, net of tax, in other comprehensive income during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
NOTE 21 - REVENUE
The Company’s disaggregated revenue represents our business of selling MROP products and services to a variety of end markets based upon our geography and our reportable business segments - Service Centers, Innovative Pumping Solutions and Supply Chain Services. Each of our geographic and reportable business segments are impacted and influenced by varying factors, including the macroeconomic environment, maintenance and capital spending and commodity prices and exploration and production activity. As such, we believe this information is important in depicting the nature, timing and uncertainty of our contracts with customers. The following Geographical Information and Note 22 - Segment Reporting present our revenue disaggregated by source.
Geographical Information

NOTE 22 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has three operating segments - Service Centers, Innovative Pumping Solutions and Supply Chain Services. These business or operating segments were determined primarily on the distribution channels of the products and services offered as and the nature of the customer markets and the primary driver of the customers spend. Business segments are defined components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker directs the allocation of resources to operating or business segments based on various metrics of each respective segment. The allocation of resources across the operating segments is dependent upon, among other factors, the operating segments's historical or future expected operating margins; the operating segments's historical or future expected returns on capital; outlook within a specific market; opportunities to grow profitability; new products, services or new customer accounts; confidence in management; and competitive landscape and intensity.
The Company’s reportable business segments are: Service Centers, Innovative Pumping Solutions and Supply Chain Services. The Service Centers segment is engaged in providing maintenance, MRO products and equipment, including logistics capabilities, to industrial customers. The Service Centers segment provides a wide range of MRO products in the rotating equipment, bearing, power transmission, hose, fluid power, metal working, fastener, industrial supply, safety products and safety services categories. The Innovative Pumping Solutions segment fabricates and assembles custom-made pump packages, remanufactures pumps and manufactures branded private label pumps. The Supply Chain Services segment provides a wide range of MRO products and manages all or part of a customer's supply chain, including warehouse and inventory management.
The high degree of integration of the Company’s operations necessitates the use of a substantial number of allocations and apportionments in the determination of business segment information. Sales are shown net of intersegment eliminations.
The following table sets out financial information related to the Company’s segments (in thousands):

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022, as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting detailed below.
Notwithstanding our material weaknesses, we have concluded that the financial statements and other financial information included in this Form 10-K fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
We have excluded Sullivan Environmental Technologies, Inc ("Sullivan"), Cisco Air Systems, Inc. ("Cisco"), Drydon Equipment, Inc. ("Drydon"), and Burlingame Engineers, Inc. ("Burlingame") from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2022. The total assets and total sales of these wholly-owned subsidiaries collectively represent approximately 3 percent, respectively for each, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) as set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022 as a result of the material weaknesses detailed below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
•The Company did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with its financial reporting requirements. Specifically, the Company lacked a sufficient complement of resources with (i) an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately, and (ii) an appropriate level of knowledge and experience to establish effective processes and controls. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:
79

Table of Contents
•The Company did not design and maintain effective controls over the timely clearing of discrepancies arising from the three-way-match process of matching purchase orders, invoices, and item receipts. Specifically, controls were not designed appropriately to ensure that aged items were properly cleared from the sub-ledger and ultimately accounts payable. This material weakness resulted in a restatement of previously reported results related to periods including and prior to December 31, 2020, as previously reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
•The Company did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, occurrence, cut-off, accuracy and presentation and disclosure of revenue. Specifically, for revenue recognized under the percentage-of-completion input method, controls were not designed and maintained to ensure accuracy of the costs-to-date, estimates of the cost-to-complete and the determination of revenue recognized for certain project-based contracts. Additionally, within the Company's product sales and service revenue streams, controls were not designed and maintained to ensure the accuracy of the price and quantity, including the approval of credit memos, the existence of a customer contract, and appropriate cut-off during the revenue recognition process. This material weakness resulted in immaterial audit adjustments related to revenue and related contract assets and liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, and out-of-period adjustments related to revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
•The Company did not design and maintain effective controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and adequately review user access to transactions within business processes relevant to significant accounts and disclosures within the general ledger system across the Company. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain effective controls over user roles and segregation of duties for functional access to transactions. As a result, there was a lack of segregation of duties within the Company's financial reporting function, specifically within the accounts payable, revenue, and journal entry processes. This material weakness did not result in adjustments to the consolidated financial statements. However, this material weakness could result in a material misstatement to the accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited our Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the year then ended and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 as stated in their reported which appears in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
REMEDIATION PLAN
Management is committed to the remediation of the material weaknesses described above, as well as the continued improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. Our planned remediation efforts related to the above identified material weaknesses include, but are not limited to:
•engaging external resources to assist with remediation efforts and internal control execution, as well as to provide additional training to existing personnel;
•hiring additional and retaining key internal resources with the appropriate knowledge and technical expertise to effectively operate financial close and reporting processes and controls over complex technical accounting matters;
•reviewing existing systems and capabilities to determine their adequacy for operations, accounting and IT;
•implementing improved accounting, operations and IT policies, procedures and control activities for key processes and systems which impact our financial reporting; and
•performing additional training to ensure a clear understanding of risk assessment, controls and monitoring activities related to processes and systems related to financial reporting.
We began implementing certain of these measures in the second quarter of 2022 and continued to develop remediation plans and implemented additional measures throughout 2022. These measures included:
•hiring a new Director of Accounts Payable and designing and implementing new processes to ensure that the Company does not have any untimely balances in accounts payable; and
•designing and implementing processes and controls to ensure that the costs-to-date and estimates of the cost-to-complete for certain project-based contracts were improved and supported by automated processes and reporting.
80

Table of Contents
While the Company has begun to implement the remediation steps detailed above, the Company has further steps to consider before remediation is complete. Material weaknesses cannot be considered fully remediated until the improved controls have been in place and operate for a sufficient period of time.
We plan to continue to assess our internal controls and procedures and intend to take further action as necessary or appropriate to address any other matters we identify. See the section titled “Risk Factors"—we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business and stock price.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
