Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Business Acquisitions | Note 3 – Business Acquisitions Combination with TestEquity and Gexpro Services On April 1, 2022, the Mergers with TestEquity and Gexpro Services were completed via all-stock merger transactions. Pursuant to the Merger Agreements, DSG issued an aggregate of 10.3 million shares of DSG common stock on April 1, 2022 to the former owners of TestEquity and Gexpro Services. On March 20, 2023, an additional 1.7 million shares of DSG common stock were issued. Refer to Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation for further information regarding the Mergers. The business combination of Lawson, TestEquity and Gexpro Services combines three value-added complementary distribution businesses. Lawson is a distributor of products and services to the industrial, commercial, institutional, and governmental MRO marketplace. TestEquity is a distributor of parts and services to the industrial, commercial, institutional and governmental electronics manufacturing and test and measurement market. Gexpro Services is a provider of supply chain solutions, specializing in developing and implementing VMI and kitting programs to high-specification manufacturing customers. Gexpro Services provides critical products and services to customers throughout the lifecycle of highly technical OEM products. Refer to Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation for more information on the nature of operations for these businesses. The Mergers were accounted for as a reverse merger under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, whereby TestEquity and Gexpro Services were identified as the accounting acquirers and were treated as a combined entity for financial reporting purposes, and DSG was identified as the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price was allocated to DSG's tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated acquisition-date fair values. These estimates were determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques. Allocation of Consideration Exchanged Under the acquisition method of accounting, the estimated consideration exchanged was calculated as follows:
(in thousands, except share data) |  | April 1, 2022
Number of DSG common shares |  | 9,120,167
DSG common stock closing price per share on March 31, 2022 |  | $ | 38.54 |
Fair value of shares exchanged |  | $ | 351,491 |
Other consideration(1) |  | 1,910 |
Total consideration exchanged |  | $ | 353,401 |
(1)Fair value adjustment of stock-based compensation awards. Due to the publicly traded nature of shares of DSG common stock, the equity issuance of shares of DSG common stock based on this value was considered to be a more reliable measurement of the fair market value of the transaction compared to the equity interests of the accounting acquirer. The allocation of consideration exchanged to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on estimated fair values as of the Merger Date. The accounting for the Mergers was complete as of December 31, 2022. Goodwill generated from the Mergers is not deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the allocation of consideration exchanged to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Merger Date after applying measurement period adjustments:

Other Acquisitions DSG and its operating companies acquired other businesses during the first six months of 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022. The acquisitions were accounted for under ASC 805, the acquisition method of accounting. For each acquisition, the allocation of consideration exchanged to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on estimated acquisition-date fair values. Purchase of HIS Company, Inc. On June 8, 2023, DSG acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Hisco, a distributor of specialty products serving industrial technology applications, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated March 30, 2023. In connection with this transaction, DSG combined the operations of TestEquity and Hisco further expanding the product and service offerings at TestEquity, as well as all of our operating businesses under DSG. Hisco operates in 38 locations across North America, including its Precision Converting facilities that provide value-added fabrication and its Adhesive Materials Group that provides an array of custom repackaging solutions. Hisco offers customers a broad range of products, including adhesives, chemicals and tapes, as well as specialty materials such as electrostatic discharge, thermal management materials and static shielding bags. Hisco also offers vendor-managed inventory and RFID programs with specialized warehousing for chemical management, logistics services and cold storage. The total purchase consideration exchanged for the Hisco Transaction was $270.4 million, net of cash, with a potential additional earn-out payment subject to Hisco achieving certain performance targets. Refer to Note 8 – Earnout Liabilities for additional information on the earn-out. DSG will also pay $37.5 million in cash or DSG common stock in retention bonuses to certain Hisco employees that remain employed with Hisco or its affiliates for at least twelve months after the closing of the Hisco Transaction. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, $2.3 million was recorded as compensation expense over the service period for the retention bonuses as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). DSG funded the Hisco Transaction using a combination of its 2023 Credit Agreement and proceeds raised from the Rights Offering. Refer to Note 9 – Debt for information about the 2023 Credit Agreement and Note 11 – Stockholders' Equity for details on the Rights Offering.

Certain estimated values for the Hisco Transaction, including the valuation of intangibles, property, plant and equipment, contingent consideration, and income taxes (including deferred taxes and associated valuation allowances), are not yet finalized, and the preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of acquisition. The final valuation will be completed within the one-year measurement period following the acquisition date, and any adjustments will be recorded in the period in which the adjustments are determined. The customer relationships and trade names intangibles assets have estimated useful lives of 12 years and 8 years, respectively. As a result of the Hisco Transaction, the Company recorded tax deductible goodwill of $39.8 million in 2023 that may result in a tax benefit in future periods and is primarily attributable to the benefits we expect to derive from expected synergies including expanded product and service offerings and cross-selling opportunities. Purchases of Other Companies in 2022 During the year ended December 31, 2022, TestEquity acquired Interworld Highway, LLC, National Test Equipment, and Instrumex, and Gexpro Services acquired Resolux ApS ("Resolux") and Frontier Technologies Brewton, LLC and Frontier Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. ("Frontier"). The consideration exchanged for these acquired businesses included various combinations of cash and sellers' notes. The accounting for the Interworld Highway, LLC, Resolux, Frontier and National Test Equipment acquisitions was complete within the one-year measurement periods following the respective acquisition dates. Certain estimated values for the Instrumex acquisition, including working capital and other liability adjustments, are not yet finalized, and the preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of acquisition. The final valuation will be completed within the one-year measurement period following the acquisition date, and any adjustments will be recorded in the period in which the adjustments are determined.

The Company incurred transaction costs related to the Mergers and other completed and contemplated acquisitions of $5.1 million and $9.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $6.1 million and $8.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Note 8 – Earnout Liabilities Combination with TestEquity and Gexpro Services On the Merger Date, the Company recorded an earnout derivative liability for the two earnout provisions within the Merger Agreements. The Company estimated the initial fair value of the earnout derivative liability based on an aggregate of 1,162,000 additional shares available to be issued under the two earnout provisions of the Merger Agreements. The aggregate of 1,162,000 shares was comprised of 700,000 shares of DSG common stock that were contingently issuable to (or forfeitable by) the TestEquity Equityholder and 462,000 shares of DSG common stock that were contingently issuable to (or forfeitable by) the Gexpro Services Stockholder, in each case as of the Merger Date. The additional 538,000 shares that were potentially issuable as of the Merger Date under the earnouts were not recorded as an earnout derivative liability as the acquisition contingency for these shares was determined to have been met at the Merger Date. The Company's earnout derivative liability was classified as a Level 3 instrument and was measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of the earnout derivative liability was measured using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis for the year ended December 31, 2022. Inputs to that model included the expected time to liquidity, the risk-free interest rate over the term, expected volatility based on representative peer companies and the estimated fair value of the underlying class of common stock. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the earnout derivative liability were the fair value of the underlying stock at the valuation date and the estimated term of the earnout arrangement periods. Generally, increases (decreases) in the fair value of the underlying stock and estimated term would result in a directionally similar impact to the fair value measurement. The estimated aggregate fair value of the earnout derivative liability recorded on the April 1, 2022 Merger Date was $43.9 million, with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital. As of April 29, 2022 and December 31, 2022, 700,000 and 462,000 of the 1,162,000 shares, respectively, were reclassified to equity, as the contingencies had been determined to have been met. There was no remaining earnout derivative liability at December 31, 2022. Immediately prior to the reclassifications, the respective shares were remeasured to fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded income of $0.3 million as a component of Change in fair value of earnout liabilities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) due to changes in the fair value of the earnout derivative liability. On March 20, 2023, all of the 1.7 million shares of DSG common stock available to be issued under the earnout provisions within the Merger Agreements were issued in accordance with the two earnout provisions within the Merger Agreements. As the remaining additional shares had been reclassified to equity as of December 31, 2022, there was no change in fair value for the first six months of 2023. The Company recorded expense of $5.7 million for changes in the fair value of the earn-out derivative liability for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a component of Change in fair value of earnout liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Hisco Acquisition The Hisco Transaction includes a potential earn-out payment of up to $12.6 million, subject to Hisco achieving certain performance targets. The earn-out payment is calculated based on the gross profit of Hisco and its affiliates for the twelve months ending October 31, 2023, subject to certain adjustments and exclusions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was classified as a Level 3 instrument and was determined using a probability-based scenario analysis approach. As of June 8, 2023 (the Hisco Transaction date) and June 30, 2023, the fair value of the earn-out was $6.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively, with amounts recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recorded a loss of $0.2 million for changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a component of Change in fair value of earnout liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Prior to the Hisco Transaction by DSG, Hisco had a preexisting contingent consideration arrangement from an acquisition Hisco made during 2022. DSG assumed this liability with a potential earn-out payment of up to $3.8 million, subject to the achievement of certain EBITDA performance targets for the twelve months ending December 27, 2023, subject to certain adjustments and exclusions set forth in the purchase agreement. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was classified as a Level 3 instrument and was determined using a probability-based scenario analysis approach. As of June 8, 2023 (the Hisco acquisition date) and June 30, 2023, the fair value of the earn-out was $1.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, with amounts recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. There was no change in the fair value of the earn-out liability for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Frontier Acquisition The consideration for the Frontier acquisition includes a potential earn-out payment of up to $3.0 million based upon the achievement of certain milestones and relative thresholds during the earn out measurement period which ends on December 31, 2024, with payments made annually beginning in 2023 and ending in 2025. During the first quarter of 2023, a $1.0 million earn-out payment was made based on the achievement of certain milestones in 2022. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was classified as a Level 3 instrument and was determined using a probability-based scenario analysis approach. As of March 31, 2022 (the Frontier acquisition date), December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, the fair value of the earn-out was $0.9 million, $1.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, with amounts recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recorded income of $0.2 million for changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a component of Change in fair value of earnout liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
