DXP ENTERPRISES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED 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, to be the successor to SEPCO Industries, Inc. DXP Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of distributing maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products, equipment and service to industrial customers. The Company is organized into three business segments: Service Centers, Supply Chain Services (SCS) and Innovative Pumping Solutions (IPS). See Note 12 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“USGAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. For a more complete discussion of our significant accounting policies and business practices, refer to the consolidated annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2013.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the fair value measurement guidance and disclosure requirements. The new requirements were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2011 and were to be applied prospectively. DXP adopted the new requirements in the first quarter of 2012; however, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 4 - 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.

The following table presents the changes in Level 1 assets for the period indicated (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013	2012

Fair value at beginning of period	$ 2,413	$ 1,679
Investment during period	68	105
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in other comprehensive income	(1,258)	(477)
Fair value at end of period	$ 1,223	$ 1,307

The Company has paid a total of $1.7 million for an investment with quoted market prices in an active market. At December 31, 2012, the market value of this investment was $2.4 million. At September 30, 2013, the market value of the investment was $1.2 million. The $1.3 million decrease in the market value during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was included in other comprehensive income, net of taxes.

	Goodwill	Other Intangible Assets	Total

Balance as of December 31, 2012	$ 145,788	$ 63,189	$ 208,977

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company reduced estimated customer lists from our HSE acquisition by $2.8 million based on a valuation specialists’ report. This resulted in an increase in goodwill, net of recognized deferred tax liabilities associated with the adjustment. In addition, there was an increase to estimated intangibles for our Jerzy acquisition of approximately $0.3 million. See Note 11, Business Acquisitions.

The following table presents goodwill balance by reportable segment as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

	2013	2012

Other intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

	2013	2012

Line of credit	$ 118,901	$ 104,526
Term loan	114,531	130,000
Unsecured subordinated notes payable in quarterly installments at 5% through November 2015	2,719	3,870
	236,151	238,396
Less: Current portion	(23,776)	(22,057)
Total Long-term Debt	$ 212,375	$ 216,339

On July 11, 2012 DXP entered into a new credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank National Association, as Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent for the lenders. On December 31, 2012 the Company amended the agreement which increased the Credit Facility by $75 million (the “Facility”). The Facility consists of a revolving credit facility that provides a $262.5 million line of credit to the Company and a term loan. The term loan component of the facility was $114.5 million at September 30, 2013.

The line of credit portion of the Facility provides the option of interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% or prime plus an applicable margin from 0.25% to 1.25% where the applicable margin is determined by the Company’s leverage ratio as defined by the Facility at the date of borrowing. Rates for the term loan component ($114.5 million at September 30, 2013) are 25 basis points higher than the line of credit borrowings. Commitment fees of 0.20% to 0.40% per annum are payable on the portion of the Facility capacity not in use at any given time on the line of credit. Commitment fees are included as interest in the consolidated statements of income.

Primarily because the leverage ratio was higher after the acquisition of HSE that occurred on July 11, 2012, interest rates in effect on July 11, 2012 were approximately 70 basis points higher than they were immediately prior to the acquisition.

On September 30, 2013, the LIBOR based rate on the line of credit portion of the Facility was LIBOR plus 1.50%, the prime based rate of the Facility was prime plus 0.50%, the LIBOR based rate on the term loan portion of the Facility was LIBOR plus 1.75% and the commitment fee was 0.25%. At September 30, 2013, $233.4 million was borrowed under the Facility at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.8% under the LIBOR options. At September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $118.5 million available for borrowing under the Facility.

The Facility expires on July 11, 2017. The Facility contains financial covenants defining various financial measures and levels of these measures with which the Company must comply. Covenant compliance is assessed as of each quarter end. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral to secure the credit facility.

NOTE 9 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Restricted Stock

Under the restricted stock plan approved by our shareholders (the “Restricted Stock Plan”), directors, consultants and employees may be awarded shares of DXP’s common stock. The shares of restricted stock granted to employees and that are outstanding as of September 30, 2013 vest in accordance with one of the following vesting schedules: 100% one year after date of grant; 33.3% each year for three years after date of grant; 20% each year for five years after the grant date; or 10% each year for ten years after the grant date. The Restricted Stock Plan provides that on each July 1 during the term of the plan each non-employee director of DXP will be granted the number of whole shares calculated by dividing $75 thousand by the closing price of the common stock on such July 1. The shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee directors of DXP vest one year after the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured based upon the closing prices of DXP’s common stock on the grant dates and is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards. Once restricted stock vests, new shares of the Company’s stock are issued.

The following table provides certain information regarding the shares authorized and outstanding under the Restricted Stock Plan at September 30, 2013:

Number of shares authorized for grants	800,000
Number of shares granted	(785,159)
Number of shares forfeited	108,909
Number of shares available for future grants	123,750
Weighted-average grant price of granted shares	$ 23.49

Changes in restricted stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were as follows:

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Grant Price
Non-vested at December 31, 2012	210,654	$ 26.85
Granted	96,788	$ 51.08
Forfeited	(28,911)	$ 37.15
Vested	(44,670)	$ 28.46
Non-vested at September 30, 2013	233,861	$ 35.26

Compensation expense, associated with restricted stock, recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Related income tax benefits recognized in earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense under the Restricted Stock Plan at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $6.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, the weighted average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized is 28.1 months.

NOTE 11 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective dates of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities is based on estimates of fair market value and may be prospectively revised if and when additional information the Company is awaiting concerning certain asset and liability valuations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition.

On January 31, 2012, DXP acquired substantially all of the assets of Mid-Continent Safety ("Mid-Continent"). DXP acquired this business to expand DXP's geographic presence in the Midwestern U.S. and strengthen DXP's safety products offering. DXP paid approximately $3.7 million for Mid-Continent, which was borrowed under our existing credit facility. Goodwill of $1.2 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Mid-Continent with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce. All of the goodwill is included in the Service Centers segment.

On February 29, 2012, DXP acquired substantially all of the assets of Pump & Power Equipment, Inc. ("Pump & Power"). DXP acquired this business to expand DXP's geographic presence in the mid-western U.S. and strengthen DXP's municipal pump products and services offering. DXP paid approximately $1.9 million for Pump & Power which was borrowed under our existing credit facility. Goodwill of $0.7 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Pump & Power with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce. All of the goodwill is included in the Service Centers segment.

On April 2, 2012, DXP acquired the stock of Aledco, Inc. ("Aledco"). DXP acquired Aledco to expand its ability to service customers in the oil and gas, water and waste water treatment, pharmaceutical and industrial markets in and around Pennsylvania. DXP paid approximately $8.1 million for Aledco which was borrowed under our existing credit facility. Goodwill of $3.4 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Aledco with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce. None of the estimated goodwill is expected to be tax deductible. All of the goodwill is included in the Service Centers segment.

The value assigned to the non-compete agreements and customer relationships for business acquisitions were determined by discounting the estimated cash flows associated with non-compete agreements and customer relationships as of the date the acquisition was consummated. The estimated cash flows were based on estimated revenues net of operating expenses and net of capital charges for assets that contribute to the projected cash flow from these assets. The projected revenues and operating expenses were estimated based on management estimates. Net capital charges for assets that contribute to projected cash flow were based on the estimated fair value of those assets. Discount rates of 15.9% to 18.0% were deemed appropriate for valuing these assets and were based on the risks associated with the respective cash flows taking into consideration the acquired company’s weighted average cost of capital.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, businesses acquired during 2012 and 2013 contributed sales of $62.7 million and $161.4 million, respectively, and earnings before taxes of approximately $0.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

SALES. Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased $39.8 million, or 13.7%, to approximately $329.7 million from $289.9 million for the prior corresponding period. Sales by businesses acquired accounted for $28.9 million of the third quarter increase, on a same store sale basis. Excluding third quarter 2013 sales from businesses acquired, on a same store sales basis, sales for the third quarter in 2013 increased by $10.9 million, or 3.8% from the prior corresponding period. This sales increase is primarily the result of improvements in the U.S. economy.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased by 66 basis points compared with the prior corresponding period. This increase was primarily due to changes in customer and product mix.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased by approximately $11.2 million to $70.2 million from $59.0 million for the prior corresponding period. Selling, general and administrative expense for acquisitions were $6.4 million, on a same store sales basis. Excluding third quarter expenses from businesses acquired, on a same store sales basis, SG&A for the quarter increased by 8.2%. The increase primarily related to the increase in gross profit. As a percentage of sales, the third quarter 2013 expense increased to 21.3%, from 20.4% for the prior corresponding period primarily as a result of the increase in gross profit percentage combined with businesses acquired in 2012 and 2013 having higher selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the third quarter of 2013 increased $2.4 million, or 9.7% compared to the prior corresponding period. This increase in operating income is primarily the result of the 13.7% increase in sales discussed above. Operating income increased by a lower percentage than sales because operating income as a percentage of sales for acquired businesses, on a same store sales basis, was lower than the remainder of DXP.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased 29.4% from the prior corresponding period primarily due a $0.7 million charge in 2012 to fully amortize debt issuance costs related to DXP’s old credit facility.

SERVICE CENTERS SEGMENT. Sales for the Service Centers segment increased by $19.6 million, or 9.2% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to the prior corresponding period. Excluding third quarter 2013 Service Centers segment sales from acquired businesses of $16.9 million, Service Centers segment sales for the third quarter in 2013 increased $2.7 million, or 1.3% from the prior corresponding period, on a same store sales basis. This sales increase is primarily the result of increased sales of pumps and related products. Operating income for the Service Centers segment increased 4.3%, primarily as a result of the 9.2% increase in sales. Operating income increased by a lower percentage than the sales increase because operating income as a percentage of sales for acquired businesses, on a same store sales basis, was less than the remainder of the Service Centers segment.

INNOVATIVE PUMPING SOLUTIONS SEGMENT. Sales for the IPS segment increased by $22.7 million, or 58.9% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to the prior corresponding period. Excluding third quarter 2013 IPS segment sales from acquired businesses of $11.9 million, IPS segment sales for the third quarter in 2013 increased 28.0% from the prior corresponding period, on a same store sales basis. The sales increase resulted from the increase in capital spending by our oil and gas and mining related customers. Operating income for the IPS segment increased 25.4% primarily as a result of the 58.9% increase in sales. Operating income increased by 25.4%, less than the 58.9% increase in sales, primarily as a result of operating income for the acquired business as a percentage of sales being lower than the remainder of the IPS segment.

SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES SEGMENT. Sales for the SCS segment decreased by $2.5 million, or 6.4%, for the third quarter of 2013 compared to the prior corresponding period. The decrease in sales is primarily related to declines in sales to customers serving the automotive and truck manufacturing industries. Operating income for the SCS segment increased 15.2% primarily as a result of the change in customer mix.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

SALES. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $123.7 million, or 15.4%, to approximately $927.8 million from $804.1 million for the prior corresponding period. Sales by businesses acquired accounted for $115.3 million of the nine month increase, on a same store sale basis. Excluding 2013 sales from businesses acquired, sales for the first nine months in 2013 increased $8.3 million, or 1.0% from the prior corresponding period, on a same store sales basis.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by 114 basis points compared with the prior corresponding period. This increase was primarily due to changes in customer and product mix.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by approximately $38.5 million to $204.9 million from $166.3 million for the prior corresponding period. The majority of the increase relates to $32.3 million of selling, general and administrative expense associated with businesses acquired, on a same store sales basis. Excluding expenses from businesses acquired, expenses increased approximately $6.2 million as a result of increased salaries, incentive compensation, insurance, health claims and travel expenses in connection with the growth of the Company. As a percentage of sales, the nine month 2013 expense increased 139 basis points from the prior corresponding period primarily as a result of businesses acquired in 2012 and 2013 having higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the nine months of 2013 increased $7.6 million, or 11.7% compared to the prior corresponding period. This increase in operating income is primarily the result of the 15.4% increase in sales. Operating income increased by a lower percentage than the sales increase because operating income as a percentage of sales for acquired businesses, on a same store sales basis, was less than the remainder of DXP.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased 27.1% from the prior corresponding period primarily due to the higher average outstanding balance of debt during the period. The increased debt was incurred to acquire businesses.

SERVICE CENTERS SEGMENT. Sales for the Service Centers segment increased by $88.5 million, or 15.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior corresponding period. Excluding 2013 Service Centers segment sales from acquired businesses of $95.5 million, Service Centers segment sales for 2013 decreased $7.0 million, or 1.2% from the prior corresponding period, on a same store sales basis. This sales decrease is primarily the result of decreased sales of metal working and bearing and power transmission products. Operating income for the Service Centers segment increased $8.5 million, or 12.6%, primarily as a result of the 15.5% increase in sales.

INNOVATIVE PUMPING SOLUTIONS SEGMENT. Sales for the IPS segment increased by $42.5 million, or 37.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior corresponding period. Excluding 2013 IPS segment sales from an acquired business of $19.8 million, IPS segment sales for 2013 increased 20.1% from the prior corresponding period, on a same store sales basis. The sales increase resulted from the increase in capital spending by our oil and gas and mining related customers. Operating income for the IPS segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by $1.9 million, or 8.3% from the prior corresponding period. As a percentage of sales, operating income declined 423 basis points. The decrease primarily is the result of operating income, as a percentage of sales, for the acquired business being lower than the remainder of the IPS segment.

SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES SEGMENT. Sales for the SCS segment decreased by $7.3 million, or 6.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior corresponding period. The decrease in sales is related to declines in sales to customers automotive and truck manufacturing markets. Operating income for the SCS segment remained constant with the prior corresponding period despite the decrease in sales due to a slightly increased gross margin. The increase of gross margin is primarily related to a change in customer mix.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General Overview

As a distributor of MRO products and services, we require significant amounts of working capital to fund inventories and accounts receivable. Additional cash is required for capital items for information technology, warehouse equipment and our safety services category. We also require cash to pay our lease obligations and to service our debt.

The Company generated $67.7million of cash in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $21.3 million during the prior corresponding period. This change between the two periods was primarily driven by changes in working capital as well as an increase in net income.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the amount available to be borrowed under our credit agreement with our bank lender increased from $109.5 million at December 31, 2012 to $118.5 million at September 30, 2013. This increase in availability primarily resulted from cash generated from operations used to pay down debt.

Credit Facility

The line of credit portion of the Facility provides the option of interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% or prime plus an applicable margin from 0.25% to 1.25% where the applicable margin is determined by the Company’s leverage ratio as defined by the Facility at the date of borrowing. Rates for the term loan component ($118.5 million at September 30, 2013) are 25 basis points higher than the line of credit borrowings. Commitment fees of 0.20% to 0.40% per annum are payable on the portion of the Facility capacity not in use at any given time on the line of credit. Commitment fees are included as interest in the consolidated statements of income.

The Facility’s principal financial covenants include:

Consolidated Leverage Ratio – The Facility requires that the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, not exceed 3.5 to 1.0 as of the last day of each quarter from the closing date through March 31, 2015 and not to exceed 3.25 to 1.00 from June 30, 2015 and thereafter. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio is defined as the outstanding indebtedness divided by Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date. Indebtedness is defined under the Facility for financial covenant purposes as: (a) all obligations of DXP for borrowed money including but not limited to obligations evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments; (b) obligations to pay deferred purchase price of property or services; (c) capital lease obligations; (d) obligations under conditional sale or other title retention agreements relating to property purchased; (e) issued and outstanding letters of credit; and (f) contingent obligations for funded indebtedness. At September 30, 2013, the Company’s Leverage Ratio was 1.81 to 1.00.

Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio –The Facility requires that the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on the last day of each quarter be not less than 1.25 to 1.0 with “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” defined as the ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDA for the period of 4 consecutive fiscal quarters ending on such date minus capital expenditures during such period (excluding acquisitions) minus income tax expense paid minus the aggregate amount of restricted payments defined in the agreement to (b) the interest expense paid in cash, scheduled principal payments in respect of long-term debt and the current portion of capital lease obligations for such 12-month period, determined in each case on a consolidated basis for DXP and its subsidiaries. At September 30, 2013, the Company's Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 3.15 to 1.00.

Asset Coverage Ratio –The credit facility requires that the Asset Coverage Ratio at any time be not less than 1.0 to 1.0 with “Asset Coverage Ratio” defined as the ratio of (a) the sum of 85% of net accounts receivable plus 65% of net inventory to (b) the aggregate outstanding amount of the revolving credit outstandings on such date. At September 30, 2013, the Company's Asset Coverage Ratio was 1.99 to 1.00.

Consolidated EBITDA as defined under the Facility for financial covenant purposes means, without duplication, for any period the consolidated net income of DXP plus, to the extent deducted in calculating consolidated net income, depreciation, amortization (except to the extent that such non-cash charges are reserved for cash charges to be taken in the future), non-cash compensation including stock option or restricted stock expense, interest expense and income tax expense for taxes based on income, certain one-time costs associated with our acquisitions, integration costs, facility consolidation and closing costs, severance costs and expenses and one-time compensation costs in connection with the acquisition of HSE and any permitted acquisition, write-down of cash expenses incurred in connection with the existing credit agreement and extraordinary losses less interest income and extraordinary gains. Consolidated EBITDA shall be adjusted to give pro forma effect to disposals or business acquisitions assuming that such transaction(s) had occurred on the first day of the period excluding all income statement items attributable to the assets or equity interests that is subject to such disposition made during the period and including all income statement items attributable to property or equity interests of such acquisitions permitted under the Facility.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Leverage Ratio as of September 30, 2013 (in thousands, except for ratios):

For the Twelve Months ended September 30, 2013	Leverage Ratio

Income before taxes	$ 91,541
Interest expense	6,612
Depreciation and amortization	21,129
Stock compensation expense	2,614
Pro forma acquisition EBITDA	7,463
Other adjustments	1,130
(A) Defined EBITDA	$ 130,489

As of September 30, 2013
Total long-term debt	$ 236,151
(B) Defined indebtedness	$ 236,151

Leverage Ratio (B)/(A)	1.81

Borrowings (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013	December 31, 2012	Increase (Decrease)
Current portion of long-term debt	$ 23,776	$ 22,057	$ 1,719
Long-term debt, less current portion	212,375	216,339	(3,964)
Total long-term debt	$ 236,151	$ 238,396	$ (2,245) (2)
Amount available	$ 118,513(1)	$ 109,530(1)	$ 8,983(3)
(1) Represents amount available to be borrowed at the indicated date under the Facility. (2) Funds generated from cash flows from operating activities were used to pay down debt. (3) The increase in the amount available is primarily the result of a combination of increased accounts receivable and inventory balances and cash generated from operations used to pay down outstanding debt.

Performance Metrics (in days):

	Three Months Ended September 30,
			Increase
	2013	2012	(Decrease)

Days of sales outstanding	57.2	62.3	(5.1)
Inventory turns	8.4	8.3	0.1

Accounts receivable days of sales outstanding were 57.2 days at September 30, 2013 compared to 62.3 days at September 30, 2012. The 62.3 days in the prior period was primarily from acquired businesses that historically have had more days sales in receivables. The current year decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in days sales in receivables related to our core businesses, as well as a slight decrease related to businesses acquired during the current year having historically less days sales in receivables. Inventory turns were consistent between the two periods.

Funding Commitments

We believe our cash generated from operations and cash available under our credit facility will meet our normal working capital needs during the next twelve months. However, we may require additional debt or equity financing to fund potential acquisitions. Such additional financings may include additional bank debt or the public or private sale of debt or equity securities. In connection with any such financing, we may issue securities that substantially dilute the interests of our shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on attractive terms, if at all.

Share Repurchases

On October 26, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized DXP from time to time to purchase up to 200,000 shares of DXP's common stock over 24 months. DXP publicly announced the authorization that day. Purchases may be made in open market or in privately negotiated transactions. DXP had purchased 81,700 shares under this authorization as of September 30, 2013.

Acquisitions

DISCUSSION OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS POLICIES

Critical accounting and business policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial position and results of operations, and require management’s subjective or complex judgments. These policies have been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of DXP.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Our market risk results from volatility in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our debt portfolio. Using floating interest rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2013, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in approximately a $2.4 million change in annual interest expense.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was evaluated by our management with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, David R. Little (principal executive officer), and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Mac McConnell (principal financial officer). Messrs. Little and McConnell have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to help ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file with the SEC is accumulated and communicated to management and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by the SEC.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter (the quarter ended September 30, 2013) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
