Distribution Solutions Group Announces

2026 First Quarter Results

Company Achieved 3.8% First Quarter Revenue Growth

FORT WORTH, TEXAS, April 30, 2026 - Distribution Solutions Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:DSGR) ("DSG" or the "Company"), a premier specialty distribution company, today announced consolidated results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. This press release is supplemented by an earnings presentation at https://investor.distributionsolutionsgroup.com/news/events.

The following represents a summary of certain operating results (unaudited). See the reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures in Tables 2, 3 and 4.

(Dollars in thousands) 2026 2025 % Change 2025 % Change

Revenue $ 495,995  $ 478,029  3.8  % $ 481,599  3.0  %

Operating income $ 13,630  $ 20,097  (32.2) % $ 7,721  76.5  %

Non-GAAP adjusted operating income $ 29,113  $ 34,392  (15.3) % $ 26,517  9.8  %

Net income (loss)

$ 382  $ 3,260  (88.3) % $ (6,371) 106.0  %

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA $ 37,833  $ 42,786  (11.6) % $ 35,437  6.8  %

Operating income (loss) as a percent of revenue 2.7% 4.2% -150bps 1.6% 110bps

Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue 7.6% 9.0% -140bps 7.4% 20bps

Distribution Solutions Group delivered improved revenue and sequential profitability growth in the first quarter. Revenue increased 3.8% year-over-year to $496.0 million, driven by organic sales growth of 3.6% with daily sales improvement across all of the verticals. The first quarter acquisition of Eastern Valve contributed $0.8 million for the partial quarter.

As signaled earlier, the first quarter was going to be under some margin pressures. Profitability improved sequentially on higher sales with positive momentum exiting the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of sales was 7.6%, a sequential improvement of 20bps, while a sequential improvement in operating income to $13.6 million drove adjusted earnings per share by 6 cents to $0.24. The Company estimates that certain timing and isolated expenses, as well as fewer selling days in the quarter, negatively impacted adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenues by approximately 70bps for the quarter. Excluding these items, adjusted EBITDA would have been 8.3% for the quarter.

Total available liquidity was $415 million at quarter end. During the quarter, DSG closed on the acquisition of Eastern Valve & Control Specialties Ltd., a provider of industrial valve products and related services supporting customers across Atlantic Canada. Eastern Valve was acquired to scale and expand DSG’s operating footprint in the Canadian market.

2026 First Quarter Summary(1)

•Revenue increased $18.0 million or 3.8% to $496.0 million, primarily driven by organic sales growth of 3.6% and $0.8 million of incremental revenue from the acquisition closed in the first quarter of 2026. Sequentially, organic sales grew 2.8% with organic average daily sales growing 3.7% over the fourth quarter of 2025. Gross margin decreased from 34.3% to 32.9% primarily due to customer and vertical sales mix shifts and higher tariff rates on inbound shipments partially offset by pricing benefits realized.

•Operating income was $13.6 million, net of $11.0 million of non-cash acquired intangible amortization and $4.5 million of non-recurring severance and acquisition-related retention costs,

stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs and other non-recurring items. This compares to an operating income of $20.1 million in the prior year quarter which is net of $11.6 million of intangible amortization and $2.7 million of non-recurring items. Adjusted operating income, excluding these non-cash and non-recurring items, was $29.1 million in the current quarter compared to $34.4 million in the year-ago quarter and $26.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.

•Net income was $0.4 million for the quarter compared to net income of $3.3 million in the year-ago quarter.

•Adjusted EBITDA was $37.8 million, or 7.6% of sales, compared to $42.8 million, or 9.0% of sales in the prior year quarter and $35.4 million or 7.4% of sales in the fourth quarter of 2025.

•Diluted net earnings per share was $0.01 for the quarter compared to diluted net earnings per share of $0.07 in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.24 compared to $0.31 for the same period a year ago and $0.18 for the fourth quarter of 2025.

•Cash used in operations was $20.4 million for the quarter. Uses of cash for the quarter included net capital expenditures of $5.6 million.

•The Company ended the quarter with total liquidity of $415.2 million, consisting of $65.0 million of cash (restricted and unrestricted) and $350.2 million available under its credit facility with net debt leverage of 3.8x.

•Completed the acquisition of Eastern Valve & Control Specialties Ltd., a provider of industrial valve products and related services supporting customers across Atlantic Canada.

SEC REGULATION G GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, the Company's management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflections of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain non-operational or non-cash items that impact the overall comparability. See Tables below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and the three months ended December 31, 2025. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
