EXPLANATORY NOTE
DXP Enterprises, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) filed Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Form 10-K/A”) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 18, 2021 (“2020 Form 10-K”). This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K/A, as filed with the SEC on October 22, 2021. The historical periods presented in this Form 10-Q reflect adjustments to the information presented in the Company’s previously-filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
In addition, the Company's consolidated financial statements for the periods covered in the quarter and nine-months ended September 30, 2020 have also been restated to correct certain immaterial adjustments. These adjustments primarily reflect proper cut-off for direct ship sales to customers and credit card payments, and adjustments for inventory obsolescence reserves. The impacts of the restatement on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheets are detailed in Note 4 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company is also revising its disclosures in Part I, Item 2, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to reflect corresponding changes.

DXP ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED 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. DXP Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of distributing maintenance, repair and operating ("MRO") products and service to a variety of end markets and industrial customers. Additionally, DXP 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 11 - 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its variable interest entity ("VIE"). 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/A for the year ended December 31, 2020. For a more complete discussion of our significant accounting policies and business practices, refer to the consolidated Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 22, 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and condensed consolidated statement of equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. All such adjustments represent normal recurring items.
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on the financial statements.
In October 2021, the 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 - RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As previously reported, the Company restated its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The restatement also affected periods prior to 2018. The impact of the restatement on such prior periods was reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. In addition, the restatement impacts the first, second and third quarters of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. The restated amounts for the comparable interim period in 2020 are presented below. The restatement corrects errors resulting from the failure to timely clear aged payables resulting from the Company's three-way match process discrepancies, the recognition of additional consideration related to a business combination, as well as certain additional errors that the Company has determined to be immaterial, both individually and in aggregate. Set forth below are the restatement adjustments included in the restatement of the previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the quarter ended September 30, 2020, each of which is an “error” within the meaning of ASC Topic 250: Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
The following tables presents the impact of the restatement adjustments described below on net income and comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

Adjustments to Net Sales and Related Adjustments to Cost of Products Sold
Unvouchered Purchase Orders The Company determined it had aged unvouchered purchase orders included in trade accounts payable. After lengthy investigation and research, DXP determined that these balances were not valid legal obligations to vendors and will not be invoiced or paid. As a result, the Company wrote off the aged balances that no longer represented legal obligations, resulting in a net reduction in accounts payable.
Landed cost inventory adjustment The Company determined that cost mark-ups for landed costs for certain inventory items related to our private label pumps had not been properly relieved upon the sale of these items.
9
Direct shipment cut off adjustment Direct shipment orders placed near period end were not properly reflected in the correct period. The Company adjusted sales and cost of goods sold for items recorded in the incorrect period, as well as accounts receivable and payable.
Other Adjustments to Earnings from Continuing Operations Before Non-Controlling Interest and Income Taxes
Cut-off for credit card payment accruals In January 2020, the Company recorded its monthly payment for its P-Card credit card program, however, the charges were incurred in December 2019. This adjustment reflects the accrual in the correct period, resulting in a shift in other current liabilities between periods.
Sales tax payable accruals The Company increased other current liabilities for its accrual for state sales tax obligations stemming from open audits.
Adjustments to Provision for Income Taxes
The adjustments reflected for the provision for income taxes are the tax consequences of the above listed corrections.
Balance sheet adjustments related to purchase accounting and consolidation
On December 31, 2020, DXP closed on the acquisition of four businesses. The owners of two of the targets were eligible for true-up consideration based upon the closing financial results of calendar year 2020. This true-up consideration was paid in July 2021; however, the amount of true-up consideration was deemed to have been accrued as of the closing of the acquisitions. Therefore this adjustment resulted in an accrual for the true-up consideration and an increase in goodwill of $13.4 million.
As described above, the unvouchered purchase order discrepancies resulted in a reduction of accounts payable in the amount of $12.2 million as of December 31, 2020.
During the consolidation of the four acquisitions closed on December 31, 2020, the Company improperly reflected the cash on hand at the targets as an increase in cumulative translation adjustment and other comprehensive income for approximately $2 million. This reclassification adjustment properly records the increase in cash and restricted cash upon closing. In addition, cumulative translation adjustment was also reduced by $1.8 million as a result of a reclassification associated with trade accounts receivable.
The following table presents the impact of the restatement adjustments on the Company’s previously reported balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 on a condensed basis:

NOTE 6 – COSTS AND ESTIMATED PROFITS ON UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS
Under our customized pump production and long-term water and wastewater project 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Costs and estimated profits on uncompleted contracts and related amounts billed were as follows (in thousands):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, $3.9 million of the balances that were previously classified as contract liabilities at the beginning of the period shipped. Contract assets and liability changes were primarily due to normal activity and timing differences between our performance and customer payments.
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was a tax benefit of 8.9 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to a tax benefit of 22.5 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021, the effective tax rate was increased by state taxes, foreign taxes, nondeductible expenses, and uncertain tax positions recorded due to tax authorities’ aggressive auditing of research and development tax credits. The effective tax rate decreased by research and development tax credits and other tax credits. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020, the effective tax rate was increased by state taxes, foreign taxes, and research and development tax credits and other tax credits and was partially offset by nondeductible expenses and uncertain tax positions recorded due to tax authorities' aggressive auditing of research and development tax credits. .

To the extent penalties and interest would be assessed on any underpayment of income tax, such accrued amounts would be classified as a component of income tax provision (benefit) in the financial statements consistent with the Company’s policy.

The Increase Agreement amends and supplements that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 29, 2017. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no amount outstanding under the ABL Revolver and had $131.0 million of borrowing capacity, net of the impact of outstanding letters of credit.
On December 23, 2020, DXP entered into a new seven year, $330 million Senior Secured Term Loan B (the “Term Loan B Agreement”), which replaced DXP’s previously existing Senior Secured Term Loan.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While DXP is unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, it believes that the ultimate resolution will not have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on DXP's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
NOTE 11 - SEGMENT REPORTING
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, repair and operating MRO products, equipment and integrated services, 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, industrial supply, safety products and safety services categories. The Innovative Pumping Solutions segment fabricates and assembles custom-made pump packages, re-manufactures pumps, manufactures branded private label pumps and provides products and process lines for the water and wastewater treatment industries. 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 inter-segment eliminations.

NOTE 12 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
On April 30, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Carter & Verplanck, LLC (“CVI”), a distributor of products and services exclusively focused on serving the water and wastewater markets. The acquisition of CVI was funded with cash on hand as well as issuing DXP's common stock. The Company paid approximately $49.7 million in cash and stock. A majority of CVI's sales are project-based work under the percentage-of-completion accounting model. As a result, CVI has been included in the IPS segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, CVI contributed sales of $9.8 million and net income of $1.1 million.
On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Process Machinery, Inc. (“PMI”), a leading distributor of pumps, mechanical seals, tank, filters and related process equipment that focuses on serving the chemical, power, pulp & paper, mining, metals and food processing industries. The Company paid approximately $9.6 million in cash, stock and future consideration. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, PMI contributed sales of $2.3 million and net income of $240 thousand.
On September 20, 2021, the Company closed on the acquisition of Premier Water LLC (“Premier”). Premier is a leading distributor and provider of products and services exclusively focused on serving the water and wastewater treatment markets primarily in North and South Carolina. The Company paid approximately $5.8 million in cash and stock.
In aggregate, the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred for the three businesses totaled $65.0 million, which consisted of the following:
Purchase Price Consideration (in millions) | Total Consideration | |||||||
Cash payments | $ | 53.6 | ||||||
Fair value of stock issued | 11.1 | |||||||
Future consideration | 0.3 | |||||||
Total purchase price consideration | $ | 65.0 |
The fair value of the approximately 422,000 common shares issued was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the acquisition date, adjusted for holding restrictions following consummation.
The following represents the pro forma unaudited revenue and earnings as if each of the acquisitions had been included in the consolidated results of the Company for the full nine months period ending September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

Of the $63.5 million of acquired intangible assets, $1.0 million was provisionally assigned to non-compete agreements that are subject to amortization over 5 years, coincident with the terms of the agreements. In addition, $15.2 million was assigned to customer relationships, and will be amortized over a period of 8 years. The goodwill total of $47.2 million is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of each entity.
The fair value of accounts receivables acquired is $5.0 million, which approximated book value.
The Company recognized less than $300,000 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.
NOTE 13 - SHARE REPURCHASE
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 or 1.5 million shares of its outstanding common stock may be acquired in the open market over the next 24 months at the discretion of management. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchase 1.0 million shares of common stock for $29.2 million at an average price of $28.77 per share.
Total consideration paid to repurchase the shares was recorded in shareholders’ equity as treasury shares. Such consideration was funded with existing cash balances and an agreement to pay sellers over four equal installments beginning on June 15, 2021. The remaining three installments totaling $20.4 million were included in other current liabilities as of September 30, 2021.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") of the financial condition and results of operations of DXP Enterprises, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (collectively "DXP," "Company," "us," "we," or "our") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 should be read in conjunction with our previous Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in such reports.

CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK
General
DXP Enterprises, Inc. is a business-to-business distributor of maintenance, repair and operating and production ("MROP") products and services to a variety of customers in different end markets primarily across North America. Additionally, we fabricate, remanufacture and assemble custom pump packages along with manufacturing branded private label pumps.
COVID-19 Pandemic Impact
The pandemic continued to have a significant impact on our business for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The marketplace broadly, and the Company specifically, continued to operate with certain modifications to balance re-opening with employee and customer safety. However, most of the markets in which we operate continued to normalize and re-open. This improved the outlook of the manufacturing and industrial customers that support our traditional branch and onsite business. Although the rate of improvement remains gradual and the overall activity level remains below pre-pandemic levels, DXP is seeing a modest improvement from monthly lows experienced in July of 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions in the U.S. and global markets, and the full extent of the impacts is still unknown and will depend on a number of developments, including any continued spread of the virus and its variants, the availability of and use of vaccines, and the impact of governmental measures to combat the spread of the virus (such as mask mandates or social distancing requirements) and to promote economic stability and recovery. The initial recovery from the
17
COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by a resurgence in demand as industries re-open, which is currently straining global supply chains, raw material and labor availability, and transportation efficiency. DXP’s businesses and its major facilities have remained operational during the pandemic as customers relied on DXP’s products and services to keep their businesses up and running.
While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact global markets and the needs of customers, employees, suppliers and communities continue to change, the Company’s efforts and business plans will evolve accordingly. DXP is focused on serving customers and communities in addressing the pandemic and providing products to assist in the ongoing recovery, supporting the needs and safety of employees and ensuring the Company continues to operate with a strong financial position. As more vaccine is distributed and mask mandates evolve, the Company continues to monitor and refine its product assortment and actions to support customers’ return to regular operations. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and is likely to continue impacting our businesses and operations as well as the operations of our customers and suppliers. From a customer perspective, business re-openings, production and related activity throughout the quarter varied based on geography, industry and regional COVID-19 pandemic conditions. The Company's major operational facilities and infrastructure (i.e. distribution centers, branches, and on-site logistic partners) are remaining operational with limited disruptions, while adhering to strict safety and social-distancing protocols. In addition, the Company has prioritized maintaining all facilities safe for customers and employees to work and interact. Many of our employees, depending on local conditions and regulations, have returned to a work-from-office environment, and we expect that trend to continue in the near term.
As of the end of the third quarter of 2021, we have remained undrawn on our $135 million bank revolver; and it remains available for use in the event a need arises. In response to easing restrictions and the continued vaccination efforts, we continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers, and shareholders. While we are unable to determine or predict the nature, duration, or scope of the overall impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources, we believe that we have remained nimble and are poised to remain opportunistic during the recovery.
Matters Affecting Comparability
There were 64 business days in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. There were 190 business days in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 191 business days in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Outlook
Service Centers & Supply Chain Services Segments
The replacement and mission-critical nature of our products and services within the Company's Service Centers and Supply Chain Services business segments and industrial and manufacturing environments and processes drives a demand and outlook that are correlated with global, national and regional industrial production, capacity utilization and long-term GDP growth. Economic conditions remain uncertain with regard to COVID-19 and its impact on various end markets, however, recent order activity has begun to improve as markets strengthened and gained greater visibility to vaccine roll-out strategies in various regions. In the third quarter of 2021 we had approximately $253.1 million in sales in our Service Centers and Supply Chain Services segment, an increase of approximately 27.6 percent over the third quarter of 2020. While the Company continues to expect choppiness as the economy gradually gains confidence with COVID-19 vaccines, we expect financial results to continually improve with interim periods of potential setback.
Innovative Pumping Solutions Segment
To date, the Company's Innovative Pumping Solutions segment has been able to absorb the pandemic with small workforce reductions or furloughs, which positions the Company for accelerated growth once recovery is clear within Innovative Pumping Solutions. The oil and gas industry continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, along with other industry specific factors including environmental concerns and issues.
In 2021, we began to see an improvement in the demand for oil and natural gas as the roll out of the COVID-19 vaccinations gradually improved around the globe and pandemic restrictions eased. The increasing optimism related to demand recovery has led to higher commodity prices and although demand levels remain below pre-pandemic levels, there is growing confidence of returning to 2019 levels in the coming years. Demand recovery could still possibly slow or pause as a result of additional waves of pandemic outbreak or heightened pandemic control measures. Over the longer term, we could also experience a structural shift in the global economy and its demand for oil and natural gas as a result of changes in the way people work, travel and interact.

Service Centers segment. Sales for the SC segment increased by approximately $47.6 million, or 28.9 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior year's corresponding period. Excluding $30.9 million of third quarter 2021 sales from businesses acquired in December 2020, Service Centers segment sales for the third quarter increased $16.7 million, or 10.1 percent from the prior year's corresponding period. This sales increase is primarily the result of increased sales of rotating equipment, metal working, and bearings and power transmission products to customers engaged in variety of markets compared due to the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on 2020 sales results.
Innovative Pumping Solutions segment. Sales for the IPS segment increased by $14.6 million, or 66.6 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior year's corresponding period. Excluding $6.9 million of third quarter 2021 IPS segment sales from businesses acquired in 2021, IPS segment sales for the third quarter increased $7.6 million, or 34.9 percent, 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 stemming from the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on 2020 sales results.
Supply Chain Services segment. Sales for the SCS segment increased by $7.1 million, or 21.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the prior year's corresponding period. The improved sales is primarily related to increased sales to customers in the food & beverage, general manufacturing and aerospace industries, compared to the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on 2020 sales results.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by approximately 219 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 453 basis points. The decrease in the gross profit percentage excluding the businesses acquired is primarily the result of an approximate 726 basis point decrease in the gross profit percentage in our SC segment and a 55 basis point decrease in the gross profit percentage in our SCS segment partially offset by an 928 basis point increase in the gross profit percentage in our IPS segment..
Service Centers segment. As a percentage of sales, the third quarter gross profit percentage for the SC increased approximately 183 basis points. Adjusting for the businesses acquired, gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased approximately 726 basis points from the prior year's corresponding period. This was primarily was a result of volume decreases and product mix. Gross profit for the Service Centers segment, excluding businesses acquired, decreased $8.2 million, or 16.5 percent, during the third quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year’s corresponding period.
Innovative Pumping Solutions segment. As a percentage of sales, the third quarter gross profit percentage for the IPS segment increased approximately 969 basis points. Adjusting for the business acquired, gross profit as a percentage of sales increased approximately 928 basis points from the prior year's corresponding period. The increase in gross profit percentage is primarily due to a mix shift (higher margin international work and domestic water and wastewater projects). Gross profit dollars increased $4.0 million, excluding business acquired, primarily as a result of an increase in project work as a result of an increase in capital spending by our customers compared to the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Supply Chain Services segment. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the SCS segment decreased approximately 55 basis points compared to the prior year's corresponding period. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2021 increased $1.5 million or 18.5% compared to the prior year's corresponding period.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A"). Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by approximately $22.0 million, or 41.0%, to $75.8 million from $53.7 million for the prior year's corresponding period. Selling, general and administrative expense from businesses acquired accounted for $7.2 million. Excluding expenses from businesses acquired, SG&A for the quarter increased by $14.8 million, or 27.6%. 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 in 2020.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the third quarter of 2021 increased by $52.0 million to $11.2 million, from an operating loss of $40.8 million in the prior year's corresponding period. This increase in operating income is primarily related to an impairment and other charges of $48.4 million in 2020 with no comparable activity in 2021.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2021 increased $1.5 million compared with the prior year's corresponding period primarily due to a higher principal balance for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior year's corresponding period as a result of the Company entering into a new term loan in December 2020. This was partially offset by lower LIBOR rates for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
20
INCOME TAXES. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was a tax benefit of 8.9 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to a tax expense of 22.5 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021, the effective tax rate was increased by state taxes, foreign taxes, nondeductible expenses, and uncertain tax positions recorded due to tax authorities’ aggressive auditing of research and development tax credits. The effective tax rate was decreased by research and development tax credits and other tax credits.

SALES. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $48.2 million, or 6.2 percent, to approximately $820.8 million from $772.6 million for the prior year's corresponding period. Sales from businesses acquired since December 2020 accounted for $104.0 million of the sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This sales increase is the result of a an increase in sales in our SC segments of $107.2 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in sales in our IPS and SCS segments of $56.0 million and $3.0 million. The fluctuations in sales are further explained in our business segment discussions below.

Excluding $91.8 million of Service Center segment sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from businesses acquired, SC segment sales increased $15.4 million, or 3.1 percent from the prior year's corresponding period. This sales increase is primarily the result of increased sales of metal working, safety services and bearings to customers engaged in the OEM oil and gas markets in connection with increased capital spending by oil and gas producers.
21
Innovative Pumping Solutions segment. Sales for the IPS segment decreased by $56.0 million, or 36.7 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior year's corresponding period. Excluding $12.1 million of IPS segment sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from businesses acquired, IPS segment sales decreased $68.1 million, or 44.7 percent from the prior year's corresponding period. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the capital spending by oil and gas producers and related businesses stemming from a decrease in U.S. crude oil production due to low crude prices and the economic impacts of COVID-19 beginning in the second quarter of 2020. The current level of IPS sales activity could continue during the remainder of 2021, although recoveries in oil production activity and oil prices should increase spending.
Supply Chain Services segment. Sales for the SCS segment decreased by $3.0 million, or 2.6 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the prior year's corresponding period. The decline in sales is primarily related to decreased sales to customers in the aerospace and oil and gas industries due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by approximately 195 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 56 basis points. The increase in the gross profit percentage is primarily the result of an approximate 246 basis point increase in the gross profit percentage in our IPS segment offset by a 134 basis point decrease in the gross profit percentage in our SC segment, excluding businesses acquired. Additionally, a 1 basis point increase in the gross profit percentage in our SCS segment contributed to the increase.
Service Centers segment. As a percentage of sales, the nine months ended September 30, 2021 gross profit percentage for the Service Centers increased approximately 189 basis points from 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 as well as the positive impact of the businesses acquired.
Innovative Pumping Solutions segment. As a percentage of sales, the nine months ended September 30, 2021 gross profit percentage for the IPS segment increased approximately 274 basis points from the prior year's corresponding period. The increase in gross profit percentage is primarily due to a mix shift (higher margin international work and domestic water and wastewater projects) as well as the shipment of negative gross profit percentage work completing in 2020. Gross profit dollars decreased $12.5 million, primarily as a result of significantly reduced capital expenditure budgets by our customers associated with the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Supply Chain Services segment. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased approximately 1 basis points, compared to the prior year's corresponding period. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased $0.7 million or 2.5 percent compared to the prior year's corresponding period, primarily the result of the decline in sales due to the items discussed above.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A"). Selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by approximately $23.1 million, or 12.3 percent, to $211.6 million from $188.5 million for the prior year's corresponding period. Selling, general and administrative expense from businesses acquired accounted for $18.1 million. Excluding expenses from businesses acquired, SG&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $5.0 million, or 2.7 percent. The increase in SG&A excluding businesses acquired is the result of increased payroll, incentive compensation and related taxes and 401(k) expenses as a result of increased business activity in 2021 and cost reduction actions associated with COVID-19 and depressed demand in oil and gas markets in 2020.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $54.7 million or 244.1% to $32.3 million from an operating loss of $22.4 million in the prior year's corresponding period. This increase in operating income is primarily related to an impairment and other charges of $48.4 million in 2020 with no comparable activity in 2021.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $3.8 million compared with the prior year's corresponding period primarily due to a higher principal balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior year's corresponding period as a result of the Company entering into a new term loan in December 2020 partially offset by lower LIBOR rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
INCOME TAXES. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was a tax expense of 13.7 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to a tax benefit of 22.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Compared

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General Overview
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash and restricted cash of $63.1 million and credit facility availability of $131.0 million. We have a $135.0 million asset-based loan facility, partially offset by letters of credit of $4.0 million, that is due to mature in August 2022, under which we had no borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and a Term Loan B with $327.5 million in borrowings.
Our primary source of capital is cash flow from operations, supplemented as necessary by bank borrowings or other sources of financing. As a distributor of MRO products and services and fabricator of custom pumps and packages, working capital can fluctuate as a result of changes in inventory levels, accounts receivable and costs in excess of billings for project work. 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 and to service our debt.

The $69.4 million decrease in the amount of cash provided between the two periods was primarily driven by the increase in accounts receivables associated with trade accounts receivables from recent acquisitions without comparable activity in 2020 and increased business activity in 2021.
Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $66.3 million compared to $20.5 million use of cash during the prior year’s corresponding period. This $45.8 million increase was primarily driven by the purchase of CVI, PMI and Premier in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, purchases of property and equipment decreased to approximately $3.0 million compared to $6.5 million in 2020 primarily due to reduced capital spending as a result of company-wide cost cutting measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current year also benefited from the sale of a corporate asset totaling $1.3 million.
Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in financing activities was $12.9 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $27.9 million during the prior year’s corresponding period. The activity in the period was primarily attributed to Term Loan B required principal payments of $2.5 million in 2021 compared to $26.9 million in required
23
principal and optional prepayments in 2020. This was partially offset by share purchases in 2021 of $8.8 million with no comparable activity in 2020.
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 or 1.5 million shares of its outstanding common stock may be acquired in the open market over the next 24 months at the discretion of management. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 we purchased 1.0 million shares for approximately $29.2 million. Such consideration was funded with existing cash balances and an agreement to pay sellers over four equal installments beginning on June 15, 2021. The remaining three installments of $20.4 million were included in other current liabilities as of September 30, 2021.
We believe this is adequate funding to support working capital needs within the business.
Funding Commitments
We intend to pursue additional acquisition targets, but the timing, size or success of any acquisition and the related potential capital commitments cannot be determined with certainty. We continue to expect to fund future acquisitions primarily with cash flows from operations and borrowings, including the undrawn portion of the credit facility or new debt issuances, but may also issue additional equity either directly or in connection with acquisitions. There can be no assurance that additional financing for acquisitions will be available at terms acceptable to the Company.
The Company believes cash generated from operations will meet normal working capital needs during the next twelve months. However, the Company may require additional debt outside of our credit facilities 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, the Company may issue securities that dilute the interests of our shareholders.
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.
The Company's condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its variable interest entity ("VIE"). 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/A for the year ended December 31, 2020. For a more complete discussion of our significant accounting policies and business practices, refer to the consolidated annual report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 22, 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, 'Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,' of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2020.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is reported, processed, and summarized within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As of September 30, 2021, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective, as of September 30, 2021 due to previously identified material weakness in our internal controls as we did not have adequate internal controls that ensure timely clearing of aged accounts payables arising from three-way match exceptions for items ordered through purchase orders. In connection with the correction associated with aged accounts payable, management identified a material weakness in the design of the Company’s controls around journal entries, specifically requiring review and approval by senior management with the requisite experience, authority and competence to determine the proper conclusion. In addition, management identified a material weakness around business combination accounting, specifically as it relates to the identification of all agreements and their impact on the transaction and future consideration and disclosure. As a result of these material weaknesses, management evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021 and has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of that date because of such material weaknesses.
Remediation Plan and Status for Material Weakness
In response to the identified material weaknesses, our management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, has dedicated significant resources, including the involvement of outside advisors, and efforts to improve our internal control over financial reporting and has taken immediate action to remediate the material weaknesses identified. Certain remedial actions have been completed including ongoing involvement of outside advisors, reassessment of application controls within our accounts payable procure-to-pay platform and training programs around the issuance of purchase orders. New controls have been put in place to address the weaknesses identified for manual journal entries and purchase accounting. The Company will further enhance these controls over the remainder of 2021 and test the effectiveness of the new or revised controls in place.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than those discussed above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its 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.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While DXP is unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, it believes that the ultimate resolution will not have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on DXP's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year end December 31, 2020.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
DXP Enterprises, Inc. issued 20,793 unregistered shares of DXP Enterprises, Inc.’s common stock as part of the consideration for the September 20, 2021 acquisition of Premier. The unregistered shares were issued to the sellers of Premier.
DXP Enterprises, Inc. issued 61,177 unregistered shares of DXP Enterprises, Inc.’s common stock as part of the consideration for the July 1, 2021 acquisition of PMI. The unregistered shares were issued to the sole seller of PMI.
We relied on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act as a basis for exemption from registration. All issuances were as a result of private negotiation, and not pursuant to public solicitation.
