CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties. Terms such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplates,” “continues,” “could,” “ensure,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecasts,” “if,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plan,” “positioned,” “potential,” “predict,” “probable,” “project,” “shall,” “should,” “strategy,” “will,” “would,” and variations of them and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression (and the negatives of such words and terms) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, intentions or beliefs as of the date they are made and are subject to a number of factors, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences or that might otherwise impact our business, financial condition and results of operations include:

•inventory obsolescence;

Recent Events

Eastern Valve Acquisition

On March 9, 2026, DSG acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Eastern Valve & Control Specialties Ltd. (“Eastern Valve” and the “Eastern Valve Transaction”). Eastern Valve is located in Paradise, Newfoundland, Canada and supplies and services industrial valve products throughout Atlantic Canada. The total purchase consideration exchanged was $16.2 million, net of cash acquired of $0.1 million. DSG funded the Eastern Valve Transaction with borrowings under its Amended Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 3 – Business Acquisitions for additional information about Eastern Valve and the Eastern Valve Transaction.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with DSG’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All normal recurring adjustments have been made that are necessary to fairly state the results of operations for the interim periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Period-end Dates: The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, except for the subsidiaries in the Gexpro Services segment, operate on a calendar year-end. Gexpro Services operates on a calendar year-end for annual reporting purposes.

Table of Contents

However, quarterly financial statements for Gexpro Services are prepared on financial close dates that may differ from that of the Company. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, there was a three day difference in the period end. The consolidated financial statement impact of the three day difference arising from the different period ends for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was not material. The Company utilizes the exchange rates in effect at Gexpro Services’ reporting date and the appropriate weighted-average rate for its fiscal reporting period.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There were no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in DSG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 2 of the 2025 consolidated financial statements included in DSG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for further details of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. The FASB issues updates to new accounting pronouncements through the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on, or are unrelated to, its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides all entities with a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets. The pronouncement is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2026. The adoption had no material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income, which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items within the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The new standard requires entities to consider whether significant development uncertainty has been resolved before starting to capitalize software costs and aligns disclosure requirements with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified transition method, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, interim disclosures requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The pronouncement is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.

Note 3 – Business Acquisitions

DSG and its operating companies acquired one business during the first quarter of 2026. The acquisition was accounted for under ASC 805, the acquisition method of accounting. The allocation of consideration exchanged to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on estimated acquisition-date fair values. The final valuations will be completed within the one-year measurement period following the acquisition date, and any adjustments will be recorded in the period in which the adjustments are determined.

On March 9, 2026, DSG acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Eastern Valve & Control Specialties Ltd. (“Eastern Valve”), with a purchase price of approximately $16.2 million, net of cash acquired of $0.1 million. Eastern Valve is located in Paradise, Newfoundland, Canada and supplies and services industrial valve products throughout Atlantic Canada. Eastern Valve was acquired to expand DSG’s operating footprint in the Canadian market. The results of operations of Eastern Valve are included within the Canada Branch Division reportable segment. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 9 – Debt for information about the Amended Credit Agreement.

The following table summarizes the allocation of consideration exchanged to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the allocation to other intangible assets acquired:


	Eastern Valve
(in thousands)	March 9, 2026 Acquisition Date
Accounts receivable(1)	$	3,027
Inventory	1,515
Other current assets	255
Property, plant and equipment	2,946

Other intangible assets:
Customer relationships	2,064
Trade names	1,621
Deferred tax liability, net of deferred tax asset	(1,406)

Accounts payable	(1,020)

Accrued expenses and other liabilities	(670)
Goodwill	7,909
Total purchase consideration exchanged, net of cash acquired	$	16,241

Cash consideration	$	16,241


Total purchase consideration exchanged, net of cash acquired	$	16,241

(1) The fair value of accounts receivable approximated the gross contractual value.

Certain estimated values for the Eastern Valve Transaction, including working capital and other adjustments to the initial balance sheet, the valuation of intangibles and property, plant and equipment and income taxes are not yet finalized, and the preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of acquisition.

The customer relationships and trade names intangible assets have estimated useful lives of 10 years and 8 years, respectively. Goodwill generated from Eastern Valve Transaction is not deductible for tax purposes and is primarily attributable to the benefits we expect to derive from expected synergies, including expanded product and service offerings and cross-selling opportunities.

Unaudited Pro Forma Information

The following table presents estimated unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for DSG as if our 2026 acquisition of Eastern Valve disclosed above occurred on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma information reflects adjustments including amortization on acquired intangible assets, interest expense, and the related tax effects. This information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of future results or the results that would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2025.

Total long-term debt	$	696,668	$	664,196

On December 18, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2022 (as it had been amended from time to time prior to the date of the Amended Credit Agreement, the “Original Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.

As amended, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $400 million senior secured revolving credit facility, with a $25 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $10 million swingline loan sub-facility, (ii) a $700 million senior secured initial term loan facility and (iii) the Company to increase the commitments thereunder from time to time by up to $500 million in the aggregate, subject to, among other things, the receipt of additional commitments from existing and/or new lenders and pro forma compliance with certain financial covenants.

The Amended Credit Agreement requires that the proceeds of any revolving credit facility loans be used for working capital and general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, permitted acquisitions).

The Company has unused outstanding letters of credit of $4.8 million as of March 31, 2026. Net of these letters of credit, there was $350.2 million of borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2026.

The loans under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 0.00% to 1.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus an additional margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement further provides that the additional margin for the period from the Effective Date (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) until delivery of the Company’s financial statements and compliance certificate for the first full quarter ending after the Effective Date shall be 1.50% per annum for Alternate Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate loans and 2.50% per annum for all other loans.

The Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to pay certain closing fees, arrangement fees, administration fees, commitment fees and letter of credit fees, including a commitment fee on the daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility that will accrue at a rate ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company. These fees are reported as a component of Interest expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and vary depending on the total net leverage ratio as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. Fees were nominal in 2026 and 2025.

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the debt instrument and reported as a component of Interest expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Amortization of deferred financing costs was $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, total deferred financing costs net of accumulated amortization were $8.3 million of which $4.5 million are included in Long-term debt, less current portion, net (related to the senior secured term loan) and $3.8 million are included in Other assets (related to the senior secured revolving credit facility) in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents

Each of the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement mature on December 18, 2030, at which time all outstanding loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, must be repaid and the revolving credit facility commitments will terminate. Future maturities of long-term debt are $35.0 million per year payable in equal quarterly installments during 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029, with the remaining balance of $604.9 million due in 2030 upon maturity. The Company is also required to prepay the term loans with the net cash proceeds from any disposition of certain assets (subject to reinvestment rights) or from the incurrence of any unpermitted debt. The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow the revolving loans until December 18, 2030, prepay any of the term loans, and terminate any of the commitments, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions and the reimbursement of certain lender costs in the case of prepayments of certain types of loans.

Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, the obligations of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and the obligations of each of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries.

Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on substantially all assets of the Company, each other borrower and each guarantor.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including financial maintenance covenants requiring the Company to maintain compliance with a consolidated minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total net leverage ratio, each determined in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement contains various events of default (subject to exceptions, thresholds and grace periods as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement). Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all obligations at a rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the applicable interest rate. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026.

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). A portion of the Company’s stock-based awards are liability-classified. Accordingly, changes in the market value of DSG common stock may result in stock-based compensation expense or benefit in certain periods. A stock-based compensation liability of $0.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2025 was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

Under an existing stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, the Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or by other methods. During the first three months of 2026, no repurchases were made. During the first three months of 2025, the Company repurchased 320,638 shares of DSG common stock under the repurchase program at an average cost of $34.94 per share for a total cost of $11.2 million. The remaining availability for stock repurchases under the program was $32.9 million at March 31, 2026.

Note 12 – Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.4 million, a 49.5% effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026. An income tax expense of $2.3 million, a 40.9% effective tax rate was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, foreign income and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets and other discrete items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, foreign income and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2026, the Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for the years 2022 through 2024 and income tax examinations from various other jurisdictions for the years 2018 through 2024.

Earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. A distribution of these non-U.S. earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise would subject the company to foreign withholding taxes and may subject the Company to U.S. federal and state taxes. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to indefinitely reinvested profits is not feasible primarily due to the Company’s legal entity structure and the complexity of U.S. tax laws.

Note 13 – Segment Information

The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer of DSG. For each reportable segment, the CODM uses segment operating income (loss) to allocate resources (including employees and financial resources) in a way to manage and grow margins.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of DSG’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and other information included in DSG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2025.

References to “DSG”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” refer to Distribution Solutions Group, Inc. and all entities consolidated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Overview

Organization and Structure

DSG is a multi-platform specialty distribution company providing high touch, value-added distribution solutions to the maintenance, repair and operations (“MRO”), the original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and the industrial technologies markets.

We manage and report our operating results through four reportable segments: Lawson, TestEquity, Gexpro Services and Canada Branch Division. A summary of our reportable segments is presented below. For additional details about our segments see Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation and Note 13 – Segment Information, within Item 1. Financial Statements.

Gexpro Services is a global supply chain solutions provider, specializing in the development of mission critical production line management, aftermarket and field installation programs.

In addition to these four reportable segments, we have an “All Other” category which includes unallocated DSG holding company costs that are not directly attributable to the ongoing operating activities of our reportable segments.

Recent Events

Eastern Valve Acquisition

On March 9, 2026, DSG completed the acquisition of Eastern Valve & Control Specialties Ltd. (“Eastern Valve” and the “Eastern Valve Transaction”). Eastern Valve is located in Paradise, Newfoundland, Canada, and supplies and services industrial valve products throughout Atlantic Canada. Eastern Valve was acquired to expand DSG’s operating footprint in the Canadian market.

Organic Growth Strategy

We intend to grow our businesses organically by exploring growth opportunities that provide different channels to reach customers, increase revenue and generate positive results. We plan to utilize our Company structure to grow organic revenue through collaborative selling across our customer bases and expanding the digital capabilities across our platform.

Table of Contents

Acquisition Strategy

In addition to organic growth, we plan to actively pursue acquisition opportunities complementary to our businesses and that we believe will be financially accretive to our organization.

Sales Drivers

DSG believes that the Purchasing Managers Index (“PMI”) published by the Institute for Supply Management is an indicative measure of the relative strength of the economic environment of the industry in which it operates. The PMI is a composite index of economic activity in the U.S. manufacturing sector. A measure of the PMI index above 50 is generally viewed as indicating an expansion of the manufacturing sector while a measure below 50 is generally viewed as representing a contraction. The average monthly PMI was 52.6 in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 50.1 in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Lawson Sales Drivers

The North American MRO market is highly fragmented. Lawson competes for business with several national distributors as well as a large number of regional and local distributors. The MRO business is impacted by the overall strength of the manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy.

Lawson’s revenue is also influenced by the number of sales representatives and their productivity. Lawson plans to continue concentrating its efforts on increasing the productivity and size of its sales team. Additionally, Lawson drives revenue through the expansion of products sold to existing customers as well as attracting new customers and additional ship-to locations. Lawson also utilizes an inside sales team to help drive field sales representative productivity and also utilizes an e-commerce site to generate sales.

TestEquity Sales Drivers

The North American market for test and measurement, industrial, and electronic production supplies is highly fragmented, with competition ranging from global to regional distributors. We believe TestEquity stands out through its portfolio of specialized brands, technical knowledge, and digital platforms, each tailored to serve specific needs across the electronics lifecycle. These brands maintain unique identities and address every stage of the electronics process—from R&D to assembly and ongoing maintenance. This multi-brand approach enables TestEquity to offer an extensive product range, expert support, and tailored technical solutions, positioning it as a trusted partner across diverse customer requirements.

Revenue growth is fueled by TestEquity’s comprehensive catalog of test and measurement equipment, electronic production supplies, and industrial tools, supported by a high-touch, consultative sales model. Strategic acquisitions have expanded its customer base and strengthened recurring rental revenue. We believe that continued investments in e-commerce, rising demand from high-growth sectors like aerospace and telecommunications, and TestEquity’s strong positioning as a preferred vendor amid supplier consolidation will contribute to sustained momentum and long-term value creation.

Gexpro Services Sales Drivers

The global supply chain solutions market is highly fragmented across Gexpro Services’ key vertical segments. Gexpro Services’ competitors range from large global distributors and manufacturers to small regional domestic distributors and manufacturers. Gexpro Services’ revenue is influenced by our OEMs’ production schedules, new product introduction launches, and service project needs.

Gexpro Services’ strategy is to increase revenue through increasing wallet share with existing customers, customer-led geographic expansion, new customer development in its six key vertical markets and leveraging its portfolio of recent acquisitions to expand its installation and aftermarket services.

Canada Branch Division Sales Drivers

Table of Contents

Canada Branch Division’s strategy is to grow revenue through increasing wallet share with existing customers, via introduction of new product lines and services in geographic areas that were underserviced previously. Additionally, Canada Branch Division will engage new customers and additional ship-to locations with its national sales team.

Supply Chain Disruptions and Tariffs

We continue to be affected by rising supplier costs caused by inflation, and increased tariffs, transportation and labor costs. We have instituted various price increases during 2025 and 2026 in response to rising supplier costs and increased tariffs, transportation and labor costs in order to attempt to manage our gross profit margins.

Factors Affecting Comparability to Prior Periods

Our results of operations are not directly comparable on a year-over-year basis due to acquisition activity. We account for acquisitions under Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Accordingly, the results of acquisitions are only included subsequent to their respective acquisition dates. Refer to Note 3 – Business Acquisitions within Item 1. Financial Statements for a description of the acquisition completed in 2026 and the reportable segment in which the acquisition’s results of operations are included.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain infrequently occurring, seasonal or non-operational items that impact the overall comparability. These 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.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of the Company’s operating performance and may provide investors with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods because Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-operational or non-cash items whose fluctuations from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operating performance of our business and consequently may impact the overall comparability from period to period. We define Adjusted EBITDA as operating income plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, severance and acquisition related retention costs, costs related to the execution and integration of acquisitions, amortization of fair value step-up resulting from acquisitions and other non-recurring items. Management uses operating income and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of its reportable segments. See Note 13 – Segment Information within Item 1. Financial Statements for additional information about our reportable segments.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and Operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA by segment is not provided because management does not determine or review net income at the segment level and does not allocate non-operating costs and expenses to its segments, such as income taxes, interest expense, and various other non-operating income and expense.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue increased approximately $3.3 million, or 2.7%, to $123.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $120.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased sales to Lawson’s strategic and government customers, partially offset by a decline in sales to Lawson’s core customers.

Gross profit decreased $3.2 million, or 4.8%, to $65.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to gross profit of $68.2 million in the prior year quarter primarily as a result of a sales mix shift toward lower margin customers, increased vendor costs and higher tariff rates on inbound freight partially offset by customer price increases. Lawson gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 52.5% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 56.6% in the prior year quarter. The gross profit margin percentage decrease was primarily due to a sales mix shift toward lower margin customers, increased vendor costs and higher tariff rates on inbound freight partially offset by customer price increases.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation and support for Lawson sales representatives and expenses to operate Lawson’s distribution network and overhead expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses remained flat at $61.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Lawson generated Adjusted EBITDA of $11.6 million, or 9.3% of sales. This is a decrease of $2.7 million from the same period a year ago primarily driven by the lower gross profit margin percentage partially offset by increased revenue.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue increased $15.4 million, or 8.2%, to $204.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $188.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $19.0 million increase in revenue from test and measurement, rentals, chambers, refurbished, direct and indirect electronics production supplies partially offset by a $3.6 million decrease in revenue from fabrication and value added services along with a decrease in revenue from the Europe region.

Gross profit increased $3.8 million to $45.6 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to gross profit of $41.8 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales. TestEquity gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 22.3% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 22.1% in the prior year quarter primarily due to lower inventory write-offs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation and support for TestEquity’s sales representatives and expenses to operate TestEquity’s distribution network and overhead expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.9 million to $41.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $37.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in stock-based compensation of $0.5 million, higher acquisition expenses of $0.3 million, higher salaries, commissions and bonuses as part of strategic leadership investments in 2026 and higher incentive compensation with the increase in revenue. These were partially offset by lower severance and acquisition related retention expenses of $0.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, TestEquity generated Adjusted EBITDA of $13.2 million or 6.5% of sales. This is an increase of $0.4 million from the same period a year ago, which was primarily driven by the increase in revenue and gross profit margin while leveraging Selling, general, and administrative expenses over a higher sales base.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 1.1%, to $117.6 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $118.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by a decline of $4.3 million and $1.5 million in the renewables and aerospace and defense vertical markets, respectively, partially offset by increases of $3.5 million in the industrial power vertical market and $1.5 million in the consumer and industrial vertical market. The changes in these vertical markets are inclusive of the pass through of tariff charges of approximately $2.8 million.

Gross profit decreased $1.3 million to $35.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to gross profit of $37.1 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower revenue. Gexpro Services gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 30.4% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 31.2% in the prior year quarter primarily as a result of the pass through of tariff charges of approximately $2.8 million which negatively impacted the gross margin percentage by approximately 70 basis points.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses primarily relating to compensation, costs associated with supporting Gexpro Services’ service facilities, overhead expenses within finance, legal, human resources and information technology, and other costs required to operate Gexpro Services’ business.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million to $27.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $25.9 million in the prior year quarter primarily driven by higher medical claim costs and stock-based compensation of $0.4 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Gexpro Services generated Adjusted EBITDA of $12.0 million or 10.2% of sales. This is a decrease of $2.9 million from the same period a year ago primarily driven by lower revenue.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue increased $0.5 million to $51.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $50.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 primarily driven by $0.8 million of additional revenue generated by the 2026 acquisition of Eastern Valve.

Gross profit increased $0.3 million to $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to gross profit of $16.9 million in the prior year quarter primarily from the inclusion of additional gross profit of $0.3 million from the acquisition of Eastern Valve.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for Canada Branch Division consist of compensation, expenses to operate its distribution network and branch locations and overhead expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million to $16.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $16.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by approximately $0.1 million of additional expenses from Eastern Valve after its acquisition and higher acquisition related expenses of $0.6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Canada Branch Division generated Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million, or 5.5% of sales. This is an increase of $0.2 million from the same period a year ago, primarily driven by approximately $0.1 million of adjusted EBITDA generated by the 2026 acquisition of Eastern Valve.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings and lower average interest rates in 2026.

Change in Fair Value of Earnout Liabilities

The $1.0 million expense in the first quarter of 2025 related to the change in fair value of the earnout liabilities associated with the Frontier acquisition.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net consists of effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income, net and other non-operating income and expenditures. The $1.3 million change in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 is primarily due to a decrease in the gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense was $0.4 million, a 49.5% effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to an income tax expense of $2.3 million and a 40.9% effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in the year-over-year effective tax rate was primarily due to a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation on deferred tax assets, state taxes and foreign income. The income tax expense recorded in the first quarter of 2026 is based on the estimated year-end effective tax rate.

Cash and cash equivalents were $52.7 million on March 31, 2026 compared to $61.8 million on December 31, 2025.

The Company believes its current balances of cash and cash equivalents, availability under its Amended Credit Agreement and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $52.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $350.2 million of borrowing availability remaining, net of outstanding letters of credit, under the Amended Credit Agreement.

Our primary short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs are to finance operating expenses, working capital, capital expenditures, potential business acquisitions, strategic initiatives and general corporate purposes. Our current debt obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement mature in December 2030. Required principal payments on the Amended Credit Agreement for the next twelve months are $35.0 million. Refer to Note 8 – Debt within Item 1. Financial Statements for additional information related to our debt obligations. Access to debt capital markets has historically provided the Company with sources of liquidity, beyond normal operating cash flows. We do not currently anticipate having difficulty in obtaining financing from those markets in the future, however, we cannot provide assurance that unforeseen events or events beyond our control (such as a potential tightening of debt capital markets, including in response to the implementation of new tariffs as part of the U.S. trade policy and any reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs thereto) will not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $4.8 million, primarily due to net income including non-cash items offset by investments in trade working capital and other net cash flow items.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Net used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $21.8 million, primarily due to the purchase of Eastern Valve, as well as purchases of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment, partially offset by the sale of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $5.1 million, primarily due to purchases of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment which was partially offset by the sale of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment.

Financing and Capital Requirements

Credit Facility

The Amended Credit Agreement includes $700 million of term debt and a revolving credit arrangement of $400 million and permits the Company to increase the commitments under the credit facility from time to time by up to $500 million in the aggregate, subject to, among other things, receipt of additional commitments from existing and/or new lenders and pro forma compliance with certain financial covenants. Refer to Note 8 – Debt within Item 1. Financial Statements for a description of the Amended Credit Agreement.

On March 31, 2026, we had $736.6 million in outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement and $350.2 million of borrowing availability remaining, net of outstanding letters of credit, under the senior secured revolving credit facility component.

As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our Amended Credit Agreement. While we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of March 31, 2026, failure to meet the covenant requirements of the Amended Credit Agreement in future quarters could lead to higher financing costs and increased restrictions, reduce or eliminate our ability to borrow funds, or accelerate the payment of our indebtedness and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Purchase Commitments

As of March 31, 2026, we had contractual commitments to purchase approximately $277.8 million of products from our suppliers and contractors over the next twelve months.

Capital Expenditures

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, total net capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and rental equipment were $5.6 million including proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and rental equipment. The Company expects to spend approximately $25.0 million to $30.0 million for net capital expenditures during the full fiscal 2026 year to support ongoing operations.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company’s Board of Directors previously authorized a stock repurchase program that permits the Company to repurchase DSG common stock. The timing and the amount of any repurchases will be determined by management under parameters established by the Board of Directors and depend on various factors including an evaluation of our stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no repurchases were made. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 320,638 shares of DSG common stock under the repurchase program at an average cost of $34.94 per share for a total cost of $11.2 million. The remaining availability for stock repurchases under the program was $32.9 million as of March 31, 2026. See Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity within Item 1. Financial Statements for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is contained within Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in DSG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no significant changes to our previously disclosed critical accounting policies and use of estimates. The following provides information on the accounts requiring more significant estimates.

Income Taxes - Deferred tax assets or liabilities reflect temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. Such amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions as well as deferred tax asset and liability balances, including the estimation of valuation allowances and the evaluation of uncertain tax positions.

Goodwill Impairment - Goodwill represents the cost of business acquisitions in excess of the fair value of identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company reviews goodwill for potential impairment annually on October 1st, or when an event or other circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying value.

The first step in the multi-step process to determine if goodwill has been impaired and to what degree is to review the relevant qualitative factors that could cause the fair value of the reporting unit to decrease below the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company considers factors such as macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant factors that would affect the individual reporting units. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit, then no further impairment testing is needed. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company will move to the next step in the process. The Company will estimate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit’s carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company will record an impairment of goodwill equal to the amount the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill previously recognized.

Business Combinations - We allocate the purchase price paid for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with our acquisitions based on their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition. This allocation involves a number of assumptions, estimates, and judgments in determining the fair value, as of the acquisition date, of the following:

•intangible assets, including the valuation methodology (the relief of royalty method for trade names and multi-period excess earnings method for customer relationships), estimations of future cash flows, discount rates, royalty rates, recurring revenue attributed to customer relationships, and our assumed market segment share, as well as the estimated useful life of intangible assets;

•deferred tax assets and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, and tax-related valuation allowances;

•inventory;

•property, plant and equipment;

•pre-existing liabilities or legal claims;

•contingent consideration, including estimating the likelihood and timing of achieving the relevant thresholds; and

•goodwill as measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

Table of Contents

Our assumptions and estimates are based upon comparable market data and information obtained from our management and the management of the acquired companies. We allocate goodwill to the reporting units of the business that are expected to benefit from the business combination.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to our floating rate long-term debt obligations. Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. These risks are highly sensitive to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control.

The loans under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 0.00% to 1.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 8 – Debt within Item 1. Financial Statements for information about the Amended Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2026, 100% of our debt was floating rate debt. A hypothetical increase/decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would increase/decrease our annual interest expense by approximately $7.4 million. We have not entered into, and currently do not intend to enter into, interest rate swaps or other derivative financial instruments to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Given the timing of the Eastern Valve Transaction and the complexity of systems and business processes, we intend to exclude Eastern Valve from our assessment and report on internal control over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2026. Other than the Eastern Valve Transaction, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
