Business Company Overview PART I DXP was incorporated in Texas in 1996 to be the successor to SEPCO Industries, Inc., founded in 1908. Since our predecessor company was founded, we have primarily been engaged in the business of distributing maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products, equipment and service to industrial customers. The Company is organized into three business segments: Service Centers, Supply Chain Services and Innovative Pumping Solutions. Sales, Operating income, and other financial information for 2010, 2011 and 2012, and identifiable assets at the close of such years for our business segments are presented in Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report. Our total sales have increased from $125 million in 1996 to $1.1 billion in 2012 through a combination of internal growth and business acquisitions. At December 31, 2012 we operated from 152 locations in thirty-eight states in the U.S., seven provinces in Canada, and one state in Mexico, serving more than 50,000 customers engaged in a variety of industrial end markets. We have grown sales and profitability by adding additional products, services, locations and becoming customer driven experts in maintenance, repair and operating solutions. Our principal executive office is located at 7272 Pinemont Houston, Texas 77040, and our telephone number is (713) 996-4700. Our website address on the Internet is www.dxpe.com and emails may be sent to info@dxpe.com. The reference to our website address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained on the website and such information should not be considered part of this report. Industry Overview The industrial distribution market is highly fragmented. Based on 2011 sales as reported by Industrial Distribution magazine, we were the 22nd largest distributor of MRO products in the United States. Most industrial customers currently purchase their industrial supplies through numerous local distribution and supply companies. These distributors generally provide the customer with repair and maintenance services, technical support and application expertise with respect to one product category. Products typically are purchased by the distributor for resale directly from the manufacturer and warehoused at distribution facilities of the distributor until sold to the customer. The customer also typically will purchase an amount of product inventory for its near term anticipated needs and store those products at its industrial site until the products are used. We believe that the distribution system for industrial products, as described in the preceding paragraph, creates inefficiencies at both the customer and the distributor levels through excess inventory requirements and duplicative cost structures. To compete more effectively, our customers and other users of MRO products are seeking ways to enhance efficiencies and lower MRO product and procurement costs. In response to this customer desire, three primary trends have emerged in the industrial supply industry: • Industry Consolidation. Industrial customers have reduced the number of supplier relationships they maintain to lower total purchasing costs, improve inventory management, assure consistently high levels of customer service and enhance purchasing power. This focus on fewer suppliers has led to consolidation within the fragmented industrial distribution industry. • Customized Integrated Service. As industrial customers focus on their core manufacturing or other production competencies, they increasingly are demanding customized integration services, consisting of value-added traditional distribution, supply chain services, modular equipment and repair and maintenance services. 4 • Single Source, First-Tier Distribution. As industrial customers continue to address cost containment, there is a trend toward reducing the number of suppliers and eliminating multiple tiers of distribution. Therefore, to lower overall costs to the customer, some MRO distributors are expanding their product coverage to eliminate second-tier distributors and become a “one stop source”. We believe we have increased our competitive advantage through our traditional fabrication of integrated system pump packages and integrated supply programs, which are designed to address our customers’ specific product and procurement needs. We offer our customers various options for the integration of their supply needs, ranging from serving as a single source of supply for all or specific lines of products and product categories to offering a fully integrated supply package in which we assume the procurement and management functions, which can include ownership of inventory, at the customer's location. Our approach to integrated supply allows us to design a program that best fits the needs of the customer. Customers purchasing large quantities of product are able to outsource all or most of those needs to us. For customers with smaller supply needs, we are able to combine our traditional distribution capabilities with our broad product categories and advanced ordering systems to allow the customer to engage in one-stop sourcing without the commitment required under an integrated supply contract. Business Segments The Company is organized into three business segments: Service Centers, Supply Chain Services (SCS) and Innovative Pumping Solutions (IPS). Our segments provide management with a comprehensive financial view of our key businesses. The segments enable the alignment of strategies and objectives and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within our businesses. Service Centers The Service Centers are engaged in providing MRO products, equipment and integrated services, including technical expertise and logistics capabilities, to industrial customers with the ability to provide same day delivery. We offer our customers a single source of supply on an efficient and competitive basis by being a first-tier distributor that can purchase products directly from manufacturers. As a first-tier distributor, we are able to reduce our customers' costs and improve efficiencies in the supply chain. We also provide services such as field safety supervision, in-house and field repair and predictive maintenance. We offer a wide range of industrial MRO products, equipment and integrated services through a continuum of customized and efficient MRO solutions. Generally our Service Centers segment does not enter into long-term contracts with our customers requiring them to purchase our products. A majority of our Service Center segment sales are derived from customer purchase orders. Sales are directly solicited from customers by our sales force. DXP Service Centers are stocked and staffed with knowledgeable sales associates and backed by a centralized customer service team of experienced industry professionals. At December 31, 2012, our Service Centers’ products and services were distributed from 153 service centers and 7 distribution centers. DXP Service Centers provide a wide range of MRO products in the rotating equipment, bearing, power transmission, hose, fluid power, metal working, industrial supply and safety product and service categories. We currently serve as a first-tier distributor of more than 1,000,000 items of which more than 60,000 are stock keeping units (SKUs) for use primarily by customers engaged in the oil and gas, food and beverage, petrochemical, transportation and other general industrial industries. Other industries served by our Service Centers include mining, construction, chemical, municipal, agriculture and pulp and paper. The Service Centers segment’s long-lived assets are located in both the United States and Canada. Approximately 7.4% of the Service Center’s segment revenues were in Canada and the remainder was virtually all in the U.S. At December 31, 2012, the Service Centers segment had approximately 2,113 full-time employees. 5 Supply Chain Services DXP’s Supply Chain Services segment manages all or part of its customers’ supply chains including procurement and inventory management. The Supply Chain Services segment enters into long-term contracts with its customers that can be cancelled on little or no notice under certain circumstances. Supply Chain Services provides a fully outsourced MRO solution including: inventory optimization and management; store room management; transaction consolidation and control; vendor oversight and procurement cost optimization; productivity improvement services; and customized reporting. Our mission is to help our customers become more competitive by reducing their indirect material costs and order cycle time by increasing productivity and by creating enterprise-wide inventory and procurement visibility and control. DXP has developed assessment tools and master plan templates aimed at taking cost out of supply chain processes, streamlining operations and boosting productivity. This multi-faceted approach allows us to manage the entire channel for maximum efficiency and optimal control, which ultimately provides our customers with a low-cost solution. DXP takes a consultative approach to determine the strengths and opportunities for improvement within a customer’s indirect supply chain. This assessment determines if and how we can best streamline operations, drive value within the procurement process, and increase control in storeroom management. Decades of supply chain inventory management experience and comprehensive research, as well as a thorough understanding of our customers’ businesses and industries have allowed us to design standardized programs that are flexible enough to be fully adaptable to address our customers’ unique supply chain challenges. These standardized programs include: • SmartAgreement, a planned, pro-active procurement solution for MRO categories leveraging DXP’s local Service Centers. • SmartBuy, DXP’s on-site or centralized MRO procurement solution. • SmartSource SM , DXP’s on-site procurement and storeroom management by DXP personnel. • SmartStore, DXP’s customized e-Catalog solution. • SmartVend, DXP’s industrial dispensing solution. It allows for inventory-level optimization, user accountability and item usage reduction by 20-40% and • SmartServ, DXP’s integrated service pump solution. It provides a more efficient way to manage the entire life cycle of pumping systems and rotating equipment. DXP’s SmartSolutions programs help customers to cut product costs, improve supply chain efficiencies and obtain expert technical support. DXP represents manufacturers of up to 90% of all the maintenance, repair and operating products of our customers. Unlike many other distributors who buy products from second-tier sources, DXP takes customers to the source of the products they need. At December 31, 2012, the Supply Chain Services segment operated supply chain installations in sixty-one (61) of our customers’ facilities. At December 31, 2012, all of the Supply Chain Services segment’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S. and all of 2012 sales were recognized in the U.S. At December 31, 2012, the Supply Chain Services segment had approximately 259 full-time employees. Innovative Pumping Solutions DXP’s Innovative Pumping Solutions® segment provides fabrication and technical design to meet the capital equipment needs of our global customer base. DXP’s Innovative Pumping Solutions provides a single source for engineering, systems design and fabrication of custom integrated pump packages. 6 Generally we do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers requiring them to purchase our pumps. A majority of our sales are derived from customer purchase orders. Sales are directly solicited from new customers by our sales force. DXP’s engineering staff can design a complete custom pump package to meet our customers’ project specifications. Drafting programs such as Solidworks® and AutoCAD® allow our engineering team to verify the design and layout of packages with our customers prior to the start of fabrication. Finite Elemental Analysis programs such as Cosmos Professional® are used to design the package to meet all normal and future loads and forces. This process helps maximize the pump packages’ life and minimizes any impact to the environment. With over 100 years of fabrication experience, DXP has acquired the technical expertise to ensure that our pumps and pump packages are built to meet the highest standards. DXP utilizes manufacturer authorized equipment and manufacturer certified personnel. Pump packages require MRO and original equipment manufacturers’ (OEM) equipment such as pumps, motors, valves, and consumable products, such as welding supplies. DXP leverages its MRO product inventories and breadth of authorized products to lower the total cost and maintain the quality of the pump package. DXP’s fabrication facilities provide convenient technical support and pump repair services. The facilities contain state of the art equipment to provide the technical services our customers require including: • Structural welding • Pipe welding • Custom skid assembly • Custom coatings • Hydrostatic pressure testing • Mechanical string testing Examples of our innovative pump packages include: • Diesel and electric driven firewater packages • Pipeline booster packages • Potable water packages • Pigging pump packages • Lease Automatic Custody Transfer charge units • Chemical injection pump packages wash down units • Seawater lift pumps • Jockey pumps • Condensate pump packages • Cooling water skids • Seawater/produced water injection packages • Variety of packages to meet common industry specifications such as API, ANSI and NFPA At December 31, 2012, the Innovative Pumping Solutions segment operated out of eight facilities located in Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, Colorado and Nebraska. All of the Innovative Pumping Solutions segment’s long-lived assets are located in the U. S. and virtually all of 2012 sales were recognized in the U.S. At December 31, 2012, the Innovative Pumping Solutions segment had approximately 207 full-time employees. Products Most industrial customers currently purchase their MRO supplies through local or national distribution companies that are focused on single or unique product categories. As a first-tier distributor, our network of service and distribution centers stock more than 60,000 SKUs and provide customers with access to more than 1,000,000 items. Given our breadth of product and our industrial distribution customers focus around specific product categories we have become customer driven experts in five key product categories. As such, our three business segments are supported by these five key product categories including, rotating equipment, bearings & power transmission, industrial supplies, metal working and safety products & services. Each business segment tailors its inventory and leverages product experts to meet the needs of its local customers. 7 Key product categories that we offer include: • Rotating Equipment . Our rotating equipment products include a full line of centrifugal pumps for transfer and process service applications, such as petrochemicals, refining and crude oil production; rotary gear pumps for low- to- medium pressure service applications, such as pumping lubricating oils and other viscous liquids; plunger and piston pumps for high-pressure service applications such as disposal of produced water and crude oil pipeline service; and air-operated diaphragm pumps. We also provide a large variety of pump accessories. • Bearings & Power Transmission . Our bearing products include several types of mounted and un-mounted bearings for a variety of applications. The power transmission products we distribute include speed reducers, flexible-coupling drives, chain drives, sprockets, gears, conveyors, clutches, brakes and hoses. • Industrial Supplies . We offer a broad range of industrial supplies, such as abrasives, tapes and adhesive products, coatings and lubricants, fasteners, hand tools, janitorial products, pneumatic tools, welding supplies and welding equipment. • Metal Working . Our metal working products include a broad range of cutting tools, abrasives, coolants, gauges, industrial tools and machine shop supplies. • Safety Products & Services . We provide safety services including hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) gas protection and safety, specialized and standby fire protection, safety supervision, training, monitoring, equipment rental and consulting. Our safety services include safety supervision, medic services, safety audits, instrument repair and calibration, training, monitoring, equipment rental and consulting. Additionally, we sell safety products including eye and face protection, first aid, hand protection, hazardous material handling, instrumentation and respiratory protection products. We acquire our products through numerous OEMs. We are authorized to distribute certain manufacturers' products only in specific geographic areas. All of our oral or written distribution authorizations are subject to cancellation by the manufacturer, some upon little or no notice. For the last three fiscal years, no manufacturer provided products that accounted for 10% or more of our revenues. We believe that alternative sources of supply could be obtained in a timely manner if any distribution authorization were canceled. Accordingly, we do not believe that the loss of any one distribution authorization would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company has operations in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico. Information regarding financial data by geographic areas is set forth in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8.

In the Service Centers segment we compete with a variety of industrial supply distributors, many of which may have greater financial and other resources than we do. Many of our competitors are small enterprises selling to customers in a limited geographic area. We also compete with catalog distributors, large warehouse stores and, to a lesser extent, manufacturers. While many of our competitors offer traditional distribution of some of the product groupings that we offer, we are not aware of any major competitor that offers on a non-catalog basis a variety of products and services as broad as our offering. Further, while certain catalog distributors provide product offerings as broad as ours, these competitors do not offer the product application, technical expertise and after-the-sale services that we provide. In the Supply Chain Services segment we compete with larger distributors that provide integrated supply programs and outsourcing services, some of which might be able to supply their products in a more efficient and cost-effective manner than we can provide. In the Innovative Pumping Solutions segment we compete against a variety of manufacturers, distributors and fabricators, many of which may have greater financial and other resources than we do. We generally compete on service and price in all of our segments. Insurance We maintain liability and other insurance that we believe to be customary and generally consistent with industry practice. We retain a portion of the risk for medical claims, general liability, worker’s compensation and property losses. The various deductibles of our insurance policies generally do not exceed $250,000 per occurrence. There are also certain risks for which we do not maintain insurance. There can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate for the risks involved, that coverage limits will not be exceeded or that such insurance will apply to all liabilities. The occurrence of an adverse claim in excess of the coverage limits that we maintain could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The premiums for insurance have increased significantly over the past three years. This trend could continue. Additionally, we are partially self-insured for our group health plan, worker’s compensation, auto liability and general liability insurance. The cost of claims for the group health plan has increased over the past three years. This trend is expected to continue. Government Regulation and Environmental Matters We are subject to various laws and regulations relating to our business and operations, and various health and safety regulations as established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Canadian Occupational Health and Safety. 10 Certain of our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations as well as provincial regulations controlling the discharge of materials into or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. Although we believe that we have adequate procedures to comply with applicable discharge and other environmental laws, the risks of accidental contamination or injury from the discharge of controlled or hazardous materials and chemicals cannot be eliminated completely. In the event of such a discharge, we could be held liable for any damages that result, and any such liability could have a material adverse effect on us. We are not currently aware of any situation or condition that we believe is likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Employees At December 31, 2012, DXP had approximately 2,817 full-time employees. We believe that we maintain positive relationships with all of our employees. Less than one percent (1%) of our employees are unionized.

Risk Factors Investing in DXP involves risk. In deciding whether to invest in DXP, you should carefully consider the following risk factors. Any of these risk factors could have a significant or material adverse effect on our businesses, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. They could also cause significant fluctuations and volatility in the trading price of our securities. Readers should not consider any descriptions of these factors to be a complete set of all potential risks that could affect DXP. These factors should be considered carefully together with the other information contained in this report and the other reports and materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, many of these risks are interrelated and could occur under similar business and economic conditions, and the occurrence of certain of them may in turn cause the emergence or exacerbate the effect of others. Such a combination could materially increase the severity of the impact of these risks on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Decreased capital expenditures in the energy industry can adversely impact our customers’ demand for our products and services. A significant portion of our revenue depends upon the level of capital and operating expenditures in the oil and natural gas industry, including capital expenditures in connection with the upstream, midstream, and downstream phases in the energy industry. Therefore, a significant decline in oil or natural gas prices could lead to a decrease in our customers’ capital and other expenditures and could adversely affect our revenues. Demand for our products could decrease if the manufacturers of those products sell them directly to end users. Typically, MRO products have been purchased through distributors and not directly from the manufacturers of those products. If customers were to purchase our products directly from manufacturers, or if manufacturers sought to increase their efforts to sell directly to end users, we could experience a significant decrease in sales and earnings. Changes in our customer and product mix, or adverse changes to the cost of goods we sell, could cause our gross margin percentage to fluctuate, or decrease and we may not be able to maintain historical margins. Changes in our customer mix have resulted from geographic expansion, daily selling activities within current geographic markets, and targeted selling activities to new customers. Changes in our product mix have resulted from marketing activities to existing customers and needs communicated to us from existing and prospective customers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our historical gross margins. In addition, we may also be subject to price increases from vendors that we may not be able to pass along to our customers. We rely upon third-party transportation providers for our merchandise shipments and are subject to increased shipping costs as well as the potential inability of our third-party transportation providers to deliver products on a timely basis. We rely upon independent third-party transportation providers for our merchandise shipments, including shipments to and from all of our service centers. Our utilization of these delivery services for shipments is subject to risks, including increases in fuel prices, labor availability, labor strikes and inclement weather, which may impact a shipping company’s ability to provide delivery services that adequately meet our shipping needs. If we change the shipping companies we use, we could face logistical difficulties that could adversely affect deliveries and we would incur costs and expend resources in connection with such change. In addition, we may not be able to obtain favorable terms as we have with our current third-party transportation providers. Adverse weather events or natural disasters could negatively disrupt our operations. Certain areas in which we operate are susceptible to adverse weather conditions or natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes. These events can disrupt our operations, result in damage to our properties and negatively affect the local economies in which we operate. Additionally, we may experience communication disruptions with our customers, vendors and employees. 13 We cannot predict whether or to what extent damage caused by these events will affect our operations or the economies in regions where we operate. These adverse events could result in disruption of our purchasing or distribution capabilities, interruption of our business that exceeds our insurance coverage, our inability to collect from customers and increased operating costs. Our business or results of operations may be adversely affected by these and other negative effects of these events. The loss of or the failure to attract and retain key personnel could adversely impact our results of operations. The loss of the services of any of the executive officers of the Company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our ability to grow successfully will be dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified management and technical and operational personnel. The failure to attract and retain such persons could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. The loss of any key supplier could adversely affect DXP’s sales and profitability. We have distribution rights for certain product lines and depend on these distribution rights for a substantial portion of our business. Many of these distribution rights are pursuant to contracts that are subject to cancellation upon little or no prior notice. Although we believe that we could obtain alternate distribution rights in the event of such a cancellation, the termination or limitation by any key supplier of its relationship with the Company could result in a temporary disruption of our business and, in turn, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We are subject to various government regulations. We are subject to laws and regulations in every jurisdiction where we operate. Compliance with laws and regulations increase our cost of doing business. We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including without limitation import and export requirements, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, tax laws (including U.S. taxes on our foreign subsidiaries), data privacy requirements, labor laws and anti-competition regulations. We are also subject to audits and inquiries in the ordinary course of business. Changes to the legal and regulatory environments could increase the cost of doing business, and such costs may increase in the future as a result of changes in these laws and regulations or in their interpretation. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to comply with laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that employees, contractors or agents will not violate such laws and regulations. Any such violations could individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. We are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. We are subject to federal, state, local, foreign and provincial environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. Fines and penalties may be imposed for non-compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety requirements and the failure to have or to comply with the terms and conditions of required permits. The failure by us to comply with applicable environmental, health and safety requirements could result in fines, penalties, enforcement actions, third party claims for property damage and personal injury, requirements to clean up property or to pay for the costs of cleanup, or regulatory or judicial orders requiring corrective measures. A general slowdown in the economy could negatively impact DXP’s sales growth. Economic and industry trends affect DXP’s business. Demand for our products is subject to economic trends affecting our customers and the industries in which they compete in particular. Many of these industries, such as the oil and gas industry, are subject to volatility while others, such as the petrochemical industry, are cyclical and materially affected by changes in the economy. As a result, demand for our products could be adversely impacted by changes in the markets of our customers. We traditionally do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers. 14 Risks Associated With Conducting Business in Foreign Countries We conduct a meaningful amount of business outside of the United States of America. We could be adversely affected by economic, legal, political and regulatory developments in countries that we conduct business in. We have meaningful operations in Canada in which the functional currency is denominated in Canadian dollars. As the value of currencies in foreign countries in which we have operations increase or decrease related to the U.S. dollar, the sales, expenses, profits, losses assets and liabilities of our foreign operations, as reported in our consolidated financial statements, increase or decrease, accordingly. The trading price of our common stock may be volatile. The market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, the risk factors described in this and other periodic reports, and other factors beyond our control, such as fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us. Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, many companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business. Our future results will be impacted by our ability to implement our internal growth strategy. Our future results will depend in part on our success in implementing our internal growth strategy, which includes expanding our existing geographic areas, selling additional products to existing customers and adding new customers. Our ability to implement this strategy will depend on our success in selling more products and services to existing customers, acquiring new customers, hiring qualified sales persons, and marketing integrated forms of supply management such as those being pursued by us through our SmartSource SM program. Although we intend to increase sales and product offerings to existing customers, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts. Additionally, we sell products and services in very competitive markets. We could experience a material adverse effect to the extent that our competitors are successful in reducing our customers’ purchases of products and services from us. Competition could also cause us to lower our prices, which could reduce our margins and profitability. Consolidation in our industry could heighten the impacts of competition on our business and results of operations discussed above. The fact that we do not traditionally enter into long-term contracts with our suppliers or customers may provide opportunities for our competitors. We are subject to personal injury and product liability claims involving allegedly defective products. A variety of products we distribute are used in potentially hazardous applications that can result in personal injury and product liability claims. A catastrophic occurrence at a location where the products we distribute are used may result in us being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting potentially large claims, even though we did not manufacture the products, and applicable law may render us liable for damages without regard to negligence or fault. Risks Associated With Acquisition Strategy Our future results will depend in part on our ability to successfully implement our acquisition strategy. We may not be able to consummate acquisitions at rates similar to the past, which could adversely impact our growth rate and stock price. This strategy includes taking advantage of a consolidation trend in the industry and effecting acquisitions of businesses with complementary or desirable product lines, strategic distribution locations, attractive customer bases or manufacturer relationships. Promising acquisitions are difficult to identify and complete for a number of reasons, including high valuations, competition among prospective buyers, the need for regulatory (including antitrust) approvals and the availability of affordable funding in the capital markets. In addition, competition for acquisitions in our business areas is significant and may result in higher purchase prices. 15 Changes in accounting or regulatory requirements or instability in the credit markets could also adversely impact our ability to consummate acquisitions. In addition, acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including possible adverse effects on our operating results, diversion of management’s attention, failure to retain key personnel of the acquired business, difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, services and personnel of acquired companies, potential loss of customers of acquired companies, preserving business relationships of the acquired companies, risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities, and expenses associated with obsolete inventory of an acquired business, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to grow at or above our historic rates depends in part upon our ability to identify and successfully acquire and integrate companies and businesses at appropriate prices and realize anticipated cost savings. Risks Related to Acquisition Financing We may need to finance acquisitions by using shares of Common Stock for a portion or all of the consideration to be paid. In the event that the Common Stock does not maintain a sufficient market value, or potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept Common Stock as part of the consideration for the sale of their businesses, we may be required to use more of our cash resources, if available, to maintain our acquisition program. These cash resources may include borrowings under our credit agreement or equity or debt financings. Our current credit agreement with our bank lenders contains certain restrictions that could adversely affect our ability to implement and finance potential acquisitions. Such restrictions include provisions which limit our ability to merge or consolidate with, or acquire all or a substantial part of the properties or capital stock of, other entities without the prior written consent of the lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the lender’s consent to any of our proposed acquisitions. If we do not have sufficient cash resources, our growth could be limited unless we are able to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financings. Ability to Comply with Financial Covenants of Credit Facility Our credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain specified covenants, restrictions, financial ratios and other financial and operating tests. The Company’s ability to comply with any of the foregoing restrictions will depend on its future performance, which will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, including factors beyond the Company’s control. A failure to comply with any of these obligations could result in an event of default under the credit facility, which could permit acceleration of the Company’s indebtedness under the credit facility. The Company from time to time has been unable to comply with some of the financial covenants contained in the credit facility (relating to, among other things, the maintenance of prescribed financial ratios) and has, when necessary, obtained waivers or amendments to the covenants from its lenders. Although the Company expects to be able to comply with the covenants, including the financial covenants, of the credit facility, there can be no assurance that in the future the Company will be able to do so or, if is not able to do so, that its lenders will be willing to waive such compliance or further amend such covenants. Ability to Refinance We may not be able to refinance existing debt or the terms of any refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of our existing debt. If principal payments due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or repaid with proceeds from other sources, such as new equity capital, our cash flow may not be sufficient to repay all maturing debt in years when significant payments come due. Goodwill and intangible assets recorded as a result of our acquisitions could become impaired. Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price of acquired companies and the related fair values of net assets acquired. We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Goodwill and intangibles represent a significant amount of our total assets. As of December 31, 2012, our combined goodwill and intangible assets amounted to $209 million, net of accumulated amortization. To the extent we do not generate sufficient cash flows to recover the net amount of any investments in goodwill and other intangible assets recorded, the investment could be considered impaired and subject to write-off which would directly impact earnings. We expect to record additional goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of future business acquisitions. Future amortization of such other intangible assets or impairments, if any, of goodwill or intangible assets would adversely affect our results of operations in any given period. 16 Our business has substantial competition that could adversely affect our results. Our business is highly competitive. We compete with a variety of industrial supply distributors, some of which may have greater financial and other resources than us. Although many of our traditional distribution competitors are small enterprises selling to customers in a limited geographic area, we also compete with larger distributors that provide integrated supply programs such as those offered through outsourcing services similar to those that are offered by our SCS segment. Some of these large distributors may be able to supply their products in a more timely and cost-efficient manner than us. Our competitors include catalog suppliers, large warehouse stores and, to a lesser extent, certain manufacturers. Competitive pressures could adversely affect DXP’s sales and profitability. Interruptions in the proper functioning of our information systems could disrupt operations and cause increases in costs and/or decreases in revenues. The proper functioning of DXP’s information systems is critical to the successful operation of our business. Although DXP’s information systems are protected through physical and software safeguards and remote processing capabilities exist, our information systems are still vulnerable to natural disasters, power losses, telecommunication failures and other problems. If critical information systems fail or are otherwise unavailable, DXP’s ability to procure products to sell, process and ship customer orders, identify business opportunities, maintain proper levels of inventories, collect accounts receivable and pay accounts payable and expenses could be adversely affected. Risks Associated with Insurance In the ordinary course of business we at times may become the subject of various claims, lawsuits or administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, the products we distribute, employees and other matters, including potential claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials as a result of the products we distribute or our operations. Some of these claims may relate to the activities of businesses that we have acquired, even though these activities may have occurred prior to acquisition. The products we distribute are subject to inherent risks that could result in personal injury, property damage, pollution, death or loss of production. Any defects in the products we distribute could result in personal injury, death, property damage, pollution or loss of production. We maintain insurance to cover potential losses, and we are subject to various deductibles and caps under our insurance. It is possible, however, that judgments could be rendered against us in cases in which we would be uninsured and beyond the amounts that we currently have reserved or anticipate incurring for such matters. Even a partially uninsured claim, if successful and of significant size, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we may not be able to continue to obtain insurance on commercially reasonable terms in the future, and we may incur losses from interruption of our business that exceed our insurance coverage. In cases where we maintain insurance coverage, our insurers may raise various objections and exceptions to coverage which could make uncertain the timing and amount of any possible insurance recovery. Risks Associated with Cyber-Security Through our sales channels, and electronic communications with customers generally, we collect and maintain confidential information that customers provide to us in order to purchase products or services. We also acquire and retain information about suppliers and employees in the normal course of business. Computer hackers may attempt to penetrate our information systems or our vendors' information systems and, if successful, misappropriate confidential customer, supplier, employee or other business information. In addition, one of our employees, contractors or other third party may attempt to circumvent security measures in order to obtain such information or inadvertently cause a breach involving such information. Loss of information could expose us to claims from customers, suppliers, financial institutions, regulators, payment card associations, employees and other persons, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. 17 ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. ITEM 2. Properties We own our headquarters facility in Houston, Texas, which has approximately 48,000 square feet of office space. At December 31, 2012, we had approximately 154 facilities which contained 153 services centers, 7 distribution centers and 8 fabrication facilities. The Service Centers segment owns or leases 153 service center facilities. Of these facilities, 126 are located in the U.S. in 38 states and 26 are located in 7 Canadian provinces and 1 in Sonora, Mexico. All of the distribution centers are located in the U.S., specifically in California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, and Texas. The Innovative Pumping Solutions segment operates out of 8 facilities located in 4 states in the U.S. The Supply Chain Services segment operates supply chain installations in 61 of our customers’ facilities in 28 U.S. states. Our owned facilities range from 5,000 square feet to 48,000 square feet in size. We lease facilities for terms generally ranging from one to fifteen years. The leased facilities range from 1,500 square feet to 170,000 square feet in size. The leases provide for periodic specified rental payments and certain leases are renewable at our option. We believe that our facilities are suitable and adequate for the needs of our existing business. We believe that if the leases for any of our facilities were not renewed, other suitable facilities could be leased with no material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of any of these various proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. 18 PART II ITEM 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Our common stock trades on The NASDAQ Global Market under the stock symbol "DXPE". The following table sets forth on a per share basis the high and low sales prices for our common stock as reported by NASDAQ for the periods indicated. 2012 Fourth Quarter Third Quarter Second Quarter First Quarter 2011 Fourth Quarter Third Quarter Second Quarter First Quarter High Low $ 51.68 $ 49.85 $ 50.35 $ 45.90 $ 33.58 $ 27.81 $ 26.71 $ 24.99 $ 42.11 $ 38.25 $ 36.76 $ 31.78 $ 17.01 $ 17.89 $ 22.01 $ 18.43 On March 7, 2013, we had approximately registered 463 holders of record for outstanding shares of our common stock. This number does not include shareholders for whom shares are held in “nominee” or “street name”. We anticipate that future earnings will be retained to finance the continuing development of our business. In addition, our bank credit facility prohibits us from declaring or paying any cash dividends or other distributions on our capital stock, except for the monthly $0.50 per share dividend on our Series B convertible preferred stock, which amounts to $90,000 in the aggregate per year. Accordingly, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, the success of our business activities, regulatory and capital requirements, lenders, and general financial and business conditions. Stock Performance The following performance graph compares the performance of DXP Common Stock to the NASDAQ Industrial Index and the NASDAQ Composite (US). The graph assumes that the value of the investment in DXP Common Stock and in each index was $100 at December 31, 2007 and that all dividends were reinvested. 19 Investors are cautioned against drawing conclusions from the data contained in the graph as past results are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

The unregistered shares were issued to the stockholder of Industrial Paramedic Services. We relied on Section 4(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. In addition, we believe the shares were issued to “accredited investors” as defined by Rule 501 of the Securities Act. Repurchases of Common Stock The following table provides information about the Company's purchases of shares of the Company's common stock during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained within Item 8 of this Report. Management’s Discussion and Analysis uses forward-looking statements as described previously in our Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. General Overview Our products and services are marketed in the United States, Canada, and Mexico to over 50,000 customers that are engaged in a variety of industries, many of which may be countercyclical to each other. Demand for our products generally is subject to changes in the United States and Canada, and global and micro-economic trends affecting our customers and the industries in which they compete in particular. Certain of these industries, such as the oil and gas industry, are subject to volatility driven by a variety of factors, while others, such as the petrochemical industry and the construction industry, are cyclical and materially affected by changes in the United States and global economy. As a result, we may experience changes in demand within particular markets, segments and product categories as changes occur in our customers' respective markets. During 2008, the general economy weakened. However, the oil and gas exploration and production business continued to be positive during the first half of 2008, before declining during the second half of 2008. During 2008 our headcount increased by 18% primarily as a result of three acquisitions. Sales by the three businesses acquired in 2008 accounted for $33.4 million of 2008 sales. Sales by three businesses acquired in 2007 accounted for $200.4 million of 2008 sales. Excluding sales of businesses acquired in 2007 and 2008, on a same store sales basis, 2008 sales increased 13.2%. This increase resulted from a broad-based increase in sales by our Service Centers, Innovative Pumping Solutions locations and Supply Chain locations. During 2009, the general economy and the oil and gas exploration and production business declined significantly. During 2009, our headcount decreased by approximately 10% as a result of actions taken to reduce operating costs. Sales for 2009 declined by 21% from 2008. Sales by businesses acquired during 2008 accounted for $36.1 million of 2009 sales. Excluding these sales by acquired businesses, sales declined by 26% from 2008. The 2009 sales decline is primarily due to a broad-based decline in the sales of pumps, bearings, safety products and industrial supplies in connection with a broad-based decline in the U.S. economy. This economic decline led to the impairment of our goodwill and other intangibles. During the fourth quarter of 2009 the Company recognized an impairment charge of $53.0 million for goodwill and other intangibles and an impairment charge of $13.8 million to reduce the valuation of inventory acquired in the 2007 acquisition of Precision Industries, Inc. The impairment charges did not result in any cash expenditures, did not adversely affect compliance with covenants under our credit facility, and did not affect our cash position or cash flows from operating activities. During 2010, the general economy and the oil and gas exploration and production business improved. Our employee headcount increased by approximately 7% as a result of two acquisitions. Excluding the employees at the two acquired businesses headcount declined by approximately 1%, primarily as a result of consolidating back office functions. Sales by Quadna, acquired April 1, 2010 and D&F, acquired December 1, 2010, accounted for $43.6 million of 2010 sales. Excluding Quadna and D&F sales, sales for 2010 increased 5.0%. During 2011, the general economy and the oil and gas exploration and production business continued to improve. Our employee headcount increased by 18% primarily as a result of two acquisitions and hiring additional personnel to support increased sales. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $150.8 million, or 23.0%, to approximately $807.0 million from $656.2 million in 2010. Sales by KC, acquired October 10, 2011, accounted for $11.9 million of 2011 sales. Sales by businesses acquired in 2010, on a same store sales basis, accounted for $35.6 million of 2011 sales. Excluding 2011 sales by businesses acquired in 2010 and 2011, on a same store sales basis, sales increased 15.8% from 2010. The majority of the 2011 sales increase came from a broad-based increase in sales of pumps, bearings, safety products and industrial supplies to customers engaged in oilfield service, oil and gas exploration and production, mining, manufacturing and petrochemical processing. 23 During 2012, the general economy and the oil and gas exploration and production business remained positive. Our employee headcount increased by 35% primarily as a result of multiple acquisitions and hiring additional personnel to support increased sales. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $290.1 million, or 35.9%, to $1,097.1 million from $807.0 million in 2011. Sales by businesses acquired in 2012 accounted for $86.3 million of 2012 sales. Sales by businesses acquired in 2011 accounted for $107.7 million of 2012 sales, on a same store sales basis. Excluding 2012 sales of $194.0 million by businesses acquired in 2011 and 2012, on a same store sales basis, sales increased 11.9% from 2011. The majority of this 11.9% sales increase came from a broad-based increase in sales of pumps, bearings, safety products and industrial supplies to customers engaged in oilfield service, oil and gas exploration and production, mining, manufacturing and petrochemical processing. Our sales growth strategy in recent years has focused on internal growth and acquisitions. Key elements of our sales strategy include leveraging existing customer relationships by cross-selling new products, expanding product offerings to new and existing customers, and increasing business-to-business solutions using system agreements and supply chain solutions for our integrated supply customers. We will continue to review opportunities to grow through the acquisition of distributors and other businesses that would expand our geographic reach and/or add additional products and services. Our results will depend on our success in executing our internal growth strategy and, to the extent we complete any acquisitions, our ability to integrate such acquisitions effectively. Our strategies to increase productivity include consolidated purchasing programs, centralizing product distribution centers, and customer service and inside sales functions, converting selected locations from full warehouse and customer service operations to service centers, and using information technology to increase employee productivity.

The Service Centers are engaged in providing maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products, equipment and integrated services, including technical expertise and logistics capabilities, to industrial customers with the ability to provide same day delivery. The Service Centers provide a wide range of MRO products and services in the rotating equipment, bearing, power transmission, hose, fluid power, metal working, industrial supply and safety product and service categories. The SCS segment manages all or part of our customer’s supply chain, including inventory. The IPS segment fabricates and assembles custom-made integrated pump system packages. 24 Year Ended December 31, 2012 compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011 SALES. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $290.1 million, or 35.9%, to approximately $1,097.1 million from $807.0 million in 2011. Sales by businesses acquired in 2012 accounted for $86.3 million of 2012 sales. Sales by businesses acquired in 2011 accounted for $107.7 million of the 2012 increase, on a same store sales basis. Excluding 2012 sales of $194.0 million by businesses acquired in 2011 and 2012, on a same store sales basis, sales increased by $96.1 million, or 11.9% from 2011. The majority of this 11.9% sales increase came from a broad-based increase in sales of pumps, bearings, safety products and industrial supplies to customers engaged in oilfield service, oil and gas exploration and production, mining, manufacturing and petrochemical processing. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 29.1% for 2012 compared to 28.7% for the prior corresponding period primarily as a result of increased gross profit percentages experienced by our Innovative Pumping Solutions and Supply Chain Services segments. Supply Chain Services’ gross profit percentage increased primarily as a result of a change in customer mix. The increase in gross profit percentage in the IPS segment was primarily related to stronger demand for IPS products. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general and administrative expense for 2012 increased by approximately $52.3 million, or 29.7%, when compared to 2011. Selling, general and administrative expense by businesses acquired in 2012 was $24.3 million. Selling, general and administrative expense for acquisitions that occurred in 2011 accounted for $19.3 million of the 2012 increase, on a same store sales basis. Excluding 2012 expenses of $43.6 million by businesses acquired in 2011 and 2012, on a same store sales basis, the increase primarily related to increased salaries, commissions, health claims and insurance premiums. As a percentage of sales, the 2012 expense decreased to 20.8% from 21.9%, primarily as a result of economies of scale. OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for 2012 increased $35.0 million from $55.5 million to $90.5 million, or 63.1%, compared to the prior corresponding period. The increase is primarily related to the combination of the 35.9% increase in sales, the increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales, and selling, general and administrative expense increasing only 29.7% compared to the 35.9% increase in sales. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for 2012 increased by $2.1 million, or 58%, from 2011. Approximately $0.7 million of this increase resulted from fully amortizing the debt issuance costs of the old credit facility which was replaced on July 11, 2012. The remainder of the increase in interest expense was primarily the result of increased borrowings used to acquire businesses. INCOME TAXES. Our provision for income taxes differed from the U. S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and non- deductible expenses. Our effective tax rate for 2012 of 40% increased from 39.5% from the prior corresponding period, primarily as a result of non-deductible fees associated with acquisitions. SERVICE CENTERS SEGMENT. Sales for the Service Centers increased $218.8 million, or 39.1% from the prior corresponding period. Sales by businesses acquired in 2012 accounted for $86.3 million of 2012 sales. Sales by businesses acquired in 2011 accounted for $95.6 million of the 2012 increase, on a same store sales basis. Excluding 2012 sales of $181.9 million by businesses acquired 2011 and 2012, on a same stores sales basis, Service Centers’ sales increased $36.9 million, or 6.6%, on a same stores sales basis, from the prior corresponding period. This sales increase is primarily due to continued improvement in the manufacturing and oil and gas portions of the U.S. economy. Operating income for the Service Centers segment increased $24.4 million, or 37.9%. Excluding 2011 and 2012 acquisitions, operating income increased $8.3 million, or 12.8%, on a same stores sales basis, from the prior corresponding period. This increase was primarily attributable to the increased sales mentioned above. SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES SEGMENT. Sales for Supply Chain Services increased by $11.8 million, or 8.2%, in 2012 compared to the prior corresponding period. None of the 2012 acquisitions contributed sales to this segment. Sales by businesses acquired in 2011 accounted for $12.1 million of 2012 sales, on a same store sales basis. The segment experienced a $0.4 million decrease in sales on a same store sales basis. The decrease is primarily due to reduced sales to customers in the trucking and military related industries. Operating income for the SCS segment increased by $4.0 million, or 47.8%, compared to the prior corresponding period. Excluding 2011 and 2012 acquisitions, operating income increased $3.1 million, or 36.8%, on a same stores sales basis from the prior corresponding period. This increase was due to an increase in gross profit percentage and a decrease in sales, general and administrative costs related to a reduction in administrative headcount. INNOVATIVE PUMPING SOLUTIONS SEGMENT. Sales for Innovative Pumping Solutions increased by $59.5 million, or 58.2%, in 2012 compared to the prior corresponding period. The sales increase resulted from increased capital spending by our oil and gas and mining customers. Operating income for the IPS segment increased $15.2 million, or 89.7%, primarily as a result of the 58.2% increase in sales combined with an increased gross profit percentage. 25 Year Ended December 31, 2011 compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010 SALES. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $150.8 million, or 23.0%, to approximately $807.0 million from $656.2 million in 2010. Sales by KC, acquired October 10, 2011, accounted for $11.9 million of 2011 sales. Sales by businesses acquired in 2010, on a same store sales basis, accounted for $35.6 million of 2011 sales. Excluding 2011 sales by businesses acquired in 2010 and 2011, on a same store sales basis, sales increased 15.8% from 2010. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 28.7% for 2011 and 2010. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expense for 2011 increased by approximately $25.0 million when compared to 2010. A portion of the increase relates to $9.6 million of selling, general and administrative expense for businesses acquired in 2010 and 2011, on a same store sales basis. Excluding the expenses of businesses acquired in 2010 and 2011, on a same store sales basis, the increase primarily resulted from increased salaries, incentive compensation, employee benefits and travel expenses compared to 2010. As a percentage of revenue, the 2011 expense decreased to 21.9% from 23.1% for 2010. OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for 2011 increased 49.6% compared to 2010. This increase is the result of gross profit increasing 23.1% while selling, general and administrative expense increased only 16.6%. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for 2011 decreased by 32.5% from 2010. This decrease primarily resulted from lower average interest rates combined with a reduction in the average amount of debt outstanding compared to 2010. On July 25, 2011 we amended our credit facility. This amendment significantly decreased the interest rates and commitment fees applicable at various leverage ratios from levels in effect before July 25, 2011. INCOME TAXES. Our provision for income taxes differed from the U. S. statutory rate of 35% due to state income taxes and non-deductible expenses. Our effective tax rate for 2011 of 39.6% was consistent with the 39.7% rate for 2010. SERVICE CENTERS SEGMENT. Sales for Service Centers increased $107.5 million, or 23.7%. Excluding $9.1 million of first quarter 2011 Quadna Service Centers segment sales, first eleven months of 2011 sales by D&F of $23.2 million and $5.9 million of fourth quarter 2011 KC Service Centers segment sales, Service Center segment sales for 2011 increased 15.3% from 2010, on a same store sales basis. This sales increase is primarily due to improvement in the oil and gas and manufacturing portions of the U.S. economy. Operating income for the Service Centers segment increased 27.6%, primarily as a result of the 23.7% increase in sales combined with an increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales. SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES SEGMENT. Sales for Supply Chain Services increased by $18.0 million, or 14.2%, for 2011 when compared to 2010. Excluding KC SCS segment sales of $5.9 million, SCS segment sales for 2011 increased 9.5% from 2010, on a same store sales basis. Operating income for the SCS segment increased 18.7% primarily as a result of the 14.2% increase in sales for this segment. INNOVATIVE PUMPING SOLUTIONS SEGMENT. Sales for Innovative Pumping Solutions increased by $25.3 million, or 32.8% for 2011 when compared to 2010. Excluding first quarter 2011 Quadna IPS sales of $3.3 million, IPS sales for 2011 increased 28.5% from 2010, on a same store sales basis. The sales increase resulted from the increase in capital spending by our oil and gas and mining related customers. Operating income for the IPS segment increased 63.7% as a result of the 32.8% increase in sales combined with relatively consistent selling, general and administrative expenses. 26 Pro Forma Results The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the Company on a consolidated basis for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, assuming the acquisitions of businesses completed in 2012 were consummated as of January 1, 2011 follows: Years Ended December 31, 2012 2011 ( unaudited ) (in millions, except for per share data) $ 1,177.1 $ 54.0 $ 3.75 $ 3.55 $ 1,062.5 $ 41.4 $ 2.88 $ 2.72 Net sales Net income Per share data Basic Earnings Diluted Earnings The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the Company on a consolidated basis for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, assuming the acquisitions of businesses completed in 2011 were consummated as of January 1, 2010 follows: Years Ended December 31, 2012 2011 ( unaudited ) (in millions, except for per share data) $ 903.2 $ 35.5 $ 2.48 $ 2.35 $ 778.3 $ 22.9 $ 1.65 $ 1.56 Net sales Net income Per share data Basic Earnings Diluted Earnings Liquidity and Capital Resources General Overview As a distributor of MRO products and services, we require significant amounts of working capital to fund inventories and accounts receivable. Additional cash is required for capital items such as information technology, warehouse equipment and capital expenditures for our safety products and services category. We also require cash to pay our lease obligations and to service our debt. We generated approximately $51.2 million of cash in operating activities in 2012 as compared to generating $25.8 million in 2011. This change between the two years was primarily attributable to the $19.5 million increase in net income. During 2012 we paid $106.0 million in cash, net of $12.4 million of cash acquired, for seven businesses acquired during 2012 and $38.9 million for an acquisition that occurred in late 2011 compared to paying $18.4 million in cash related to the purchase of two businesses during 2011. 27 We purchased approximately $14.1 million of capital assets during 2012 compared to $4.1 million for 2011. Capital expenditures during 2012 were related primarily to transportation equipment, computer equipment, computer software, production equipment, inventory handling equipment, safety rental equipment and building improvements. Capital expenditures for 2013 are expected to be lower than the 2012 amount. At December 31, 2012, our total long-term debt, including the current portion, was $238.4 million compared to total capitalization (total long- term debt plus shareholders’ equity) of $446.9 million. Approximately $234.5 million of this outstanding debt bears interest at various floating rates. Therefore, as an example, a 200 basis point increase in interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $4.7 million. Our normal trade terms for our customers require payment within 30 days of invoice date. In response to competition and customer demands we will offer extended terms to selected customers with good credit history. Customers that are financially strong tend to request extended terms more often than customers that are not financially strong. Many of our customers, including companies listed in the Fortune 500, do not pay us within stated terms for a variety of reasons, including a general business philosophy to pay vendors as late as possible. During 2012, the amount available to be borrowed under our credit facility increased from $78.2 million at December 31, 2011, to $109.5 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in availability is primarily the result of the terms of the new credit facility. We believe that the liquidity of our balance sheet and credit facility at December 31, 2012, provides us with the ability to meet our working capital needs, scheduled principal payments, capital expenditures and Series B convertible preferred stock dividend payments during 2013. Credit Facility On July 11, 2012 DXP entered into a credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank National Association, as Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent for the lenders. On December 31, 2012 the Company amended the agreement which increased the Credit Facility by $75 million (the “Facility”). The Facility consists of a $130 million term loan and a revolving credit facility that provides a $262.5 million line of credit to the Company as of December 31, 2012. The line of credit portion of the Facility provides the option of interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% or prime plus an applicable margin from 0.25% to 1.25% where the applicable margin is determined by the Company’s leverage ratio as defined by the Facility at the date of borrowing. Rates for the $130 million term loan component are 25 basis points higher than the line of credit borrowings. Commitment fees of 0.20% to 0.40% per annum are payable on the portion of the Facility capacity not in use at any given time on the line of credit. Commitment fees are included as interest in the consolidated statements of income. Primarily because the leverage ratio was higher after the acquisition of HSE that occurred on July 11, 2012, interest rates in effect on July 11, 2012 were approximately 70 basis points higher than they were immediately prior to the acquisition. Approximately $0.7 million of debt issuance costs associated with the prior credit facility were expensed in the third quarter of 2012. On December 31, 2012, the LIBOR based rate on the line of credit portion of the Facility was LIBOR plus 1.75%, the prime based rate of the Facility was prime plus 0.75%, the LIBOR based rate on the term loan portion of the Facility was LIBOR plus 2.00% and the commitment fee was 0.30%. At December 31, 2012, $226.5 million was borrowed under the Facility at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.11% under the LIBOR options and $8.0 million was borrowed at 3.75% under the prime option. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $109.5 million available for borrowing under the Facility. The Facility expires on July 11, 2017. The Facility contains financial covenants defining various financial measures and levels of these measures with which the Company must comply. Covenant compliance is assessed as of each quarter end. 28 The Facility’s principal financial covenants include: Consolidated Leverage Ratio – The Facility requires that the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, not exceed 3.5 to 1.0 as of the last day of each quarter from the closing date through March 31, 2015 and not to exceed 3.25 to 1.00 from June 30, 2015 and thereafter. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio is defined as the outstanding indebtedness divided by Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date. Indebtedness is defined under the Facility for financial covenant purposes as: (a) all obligations of DXP for borrowed money including but not limited to obligations evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments; (b) obligations to pay deferred purchase price of property or services; (c) capital lease obligations; (d) obligations under conditional sale or other title retention agreements relating to property purchased; (e) issued and outstanding letters of credit; and (f) contingent obligations for funded indebtedness. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s Leverage Ratio was 1.87 to 1.00. Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio –The Facility requires that the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on the last day of each quarter be not less than 1.25 to 1.0 with “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” defined as the ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDA for the period of 4 consecutive fiscal quarters ending on such date minus capital expenditures during such period (excluding acquisitions) minus income tax expense paid minus the aggregate amount of restricted payments defined in the agreement to (b) the interest expense paid in cash, scheduled principal payments in respect of long-term debt and the current portion of capital lease obligations for such 12-month period, determined in each case on a consolidated basis for DXP and its subsidiaries. At December 31, 2012, the Company's Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 3.10 to 1.00. Asset Coverage Ratio –The credit facility requires that the Asset Coverage Ratio at any time be not less than 1.0 to 1.0 with “Asset Coverage Ratio” defined as the ratio of (a) the sum of 85% of net accounts receivable plus 65% of net inventory to (b) the aggregate outstanding amount of the revolving credit outstandings on such date. At December 31, 2012, the Company's Asset Coverage Ratio was 2.04 to 1.00. Consolidated EBITDA as defined under the Facility for financial covenant purposes means, without duplication, for any period the consolidated net income of DXP plus, to the extent deducted in calculating consolidated net income, depreciation, amortization (except to the extent that such non-cash charges are reserved for cash charges to be taken in the future), non-cash compensation including stock option or restricted stock expense, interest expense and income tax expense for taxes based on income, certain one-time costs associated with our acquisitions, integration costs, facility consolidation and closing costs, severance costs and expenses and one-time compensation costs in connection with the acquisition of HSE and any permitted acquisition, write-down of cash expenses incurred in connection with the existing credit agreement and extraordinary losses less interest income and extraordinary gains. Consolidated EBITDA shall be adjusted to give pro forma effect to disposals or business acquisitions assuming that such transaction(s) had occurred on the first day of the period excluding all income statement items attributable to the assets or equity interests that is subject to such disposition made during the period and including all income statement items attributable to property or equity interests of such acquisitions permitted under the Facility. 29 The following table sets forth the computation of the Leverage Ratio as of December 31, 2012 ( in thousands, except for ratios ): For the Twelve Months ended December 31, 2012 Income before taxes Interest expense Depreciation and amortization Stock compensation expense Pro forma acquisition EBITDA Other adjustments (A) Defined EBITDA As of December 31, 2012 Total long-term debt Letters of credit outstanding (B) Defined indebtedness Leverage Ratio (B)/(A) Leverage Ratio $ 85,009 5,560 18,082 1,955 16,542 913 $ 128,061 $ 238,396 476 $ 238,872 1.87 Borrowings (in thousands): December 31, 2012 (3) December 31, 2011 (3) Increase (Decrease) Current portion of long-term debt Long-term debt, less current portion Total long-term debt Amount available $ 22,057 216,339 $ 238,396 $ 109,530 (1) $ 694 114,205 $ 114,899 $ 78,201 (1) $ 21,363 102,134 $ 123,497 (2) $ 31,329 (1) Represents amount available to be borrowed at the indicated date under the Facility. (2) The funds obtained from the increase in debt were primarily used to fund acquisitions. (3) Borrowings as of December 31, 2011 were primarily under the Company’s previous credit facility which was terminated and replaced with the current credit facility on July 11, 2012. Performance Metrics (in days): Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 2011 Increase (Decrease) Days of sales outstanding Inventory turns 57.2 8.0 56.8 6.6 0.4 1.4 Accounts receivable days of sales outstanding were 57.2 days at December 31, 2012 compared to 56.8 days at December 31, 2011. The slight increase resulted from higher than average days of sales outstanding at our 2012 business acquisitions. However, this increase was partially offset by improvements on days of sales outstanding excluding 2012 and 2011 acquisitions on a same store sales basis. Inventory turns were 8.0 at December 31, 2012 and 6.6 at December 31, 2011. The increase in inventory turns primarily resulted from the acquisitions of Industrial Paramedic Services and HSE which have very little inventory. 30 Funding Commitments We believe our cash generated from operations and available under our credit facility will meet our normal working capital needs during the next twelve months. However, we may require additional debt outside of our credit facility or equity financing to fund potential acquisitions. Such additional financings may include additional bank debt or the public or private sale of debt or equity securities. In connection with any such financing, we may issue securities that substantially dilute the interests of our shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on attractive terms, if at all. Refer to footnote number two in Contractual Obligations table below. Share Repurchases On October 26, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized DXP from time to time to purchase up to 200,000 shares of DXP's common stock over 24 months. DXP publicly announced the authorization that day. Purchases may be made in open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During 2012, DXP purchased 76,300 shares of DXP’s common stock at an average price per share of $44.82 under this authorization. During 2011, DXP repurchased 65,171 shares of DXP's common stock in non-open market transactions at an average price per share of $22.18. Contractual Obligations The impact that our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2012 are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods is as follows (in thousands): Payments Due by Period Less than 1 Year 1–3 Years $ 22,057 $ 57,438 25,927 3,823 $ 42,776 $ 87,188 17,904 2,815 3-5 Years $158,901 13,132 1,048 $173,081 More than 5 Years $ - 8,721 - $ 8,721 Long-term debt, including current portion (1) Operating lease obligations Estimated interest payments (2) Total (1) Amounts represent the expected cash payments of our long-term debt and do not include any fair value adjustment. (2) Assumes interest rates in effect at December 31, 2012. Assumes debt is paid on maturity date and not replaced. Does not include interest on the revolving line of credit as borrowings under the Facility fluctuate. The amounts of interest incurred for borrowings under the revolving lines of credit were approximately $4.9 million, $3.0 million and $2.3 million for the years ended, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Management anticipates an increased level of interest payments on the Facility in 2013 as a result of expected increased borrowings to fund expected acquisitions. Total $ 238,396 65,684 7,686 $ 311,766 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities ("SPE's"), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of December 31, 2012, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions, nor did we have any other off-balance sheet arrangements. Indemnification In the ordinary course of business, DXP enters into contractual arrangements under which DXP may agree to indemnify customers from any losses incurred relating to the services we perform. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made related to these indemnities have been immaterial. 31 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. Below is a discussion of what we believe are our critical accounting policies. Foreign Currency The financial statements of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries are measured using local currencies as their functional currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“USGAAP”) establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. USGAAP prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company's presentation of cash includes cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are defined as short-term investments with maturity dates of 90 days or less at time of purchase. 32 Trade Accounts Receivable Trade receivables consist primarily of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, which usually require payment within 30 days of the invoice date. However, these payment terms are extended in select cases and many customers do not pay within stated trade terms. Inventories Inventories consist principally of finished goods and are priced at lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Reserves are provided against inventories for estimated obsolescence based upon the aging of the inventories and market trends. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried on the basis of cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs of depreciable assets are charged against earnings as incurred. Additions and improvements are capitalized. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and gains or losses are credited or charged to earnings. The principal estimated useful lives used in determining depreciation are as follows: Buildings Building improvements Furniture, fixtures and equipment Leasehold improvements 20-39 years 10-20 years 3-20 years Shorter of estimated useful life or related lease term Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business acquisition are recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition. Purchase consideration in excess of the aggregate fair value of acquired net assets is allocated to goodwill. The total amount of goodwill arising from an acquisition may be assigned to one or more reporting units when other reporting units are expected to benefit from synergies of the combination. The method of assigning goodwill to reporting units shall be reasonable and supportable and applied in a consistent manner and may involve estimates and assumption. The Company tests goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company assigns the carrying value of these intangible assets to its "reporting units" and applies the test for goodwill at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below a segment (a "component") if the component is a business and discrete information is prepared and reviewed regularly by segment management. 33 The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment first requires evaluating qualitative factors to determine if a reporting unit's carrying value would more likely than not exceed its fair value. If the Company concludes, based on the qualitative assessment, that a reporting unit's carrying value would more likely than not exceed its fair value, the Company would perform a two-step quantitative test for that reporting unit. When a quantitative assessment is performed, the first step is to identify a potential impairment, and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill is deemed to be impaired if the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. No impairment of goodwill was required in 2012, 2011 or 2010. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability on an annual basis and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. Revenue Recognition For binding agreements to fabricate tangible assets to customer specifications, the Company recognizes revenues using the percentage of completion method. Under this method, revenues are recognized as costs are incurred and include estimated profits calculated on the basis of the relationship between costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. If at any time expected costs exceed the value of the contract, the loss is recognized immediately. For other sales, the Company recognizes revenues when an agreement is in place, the price is fixed, title for product passes to the customer or services have been provided, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes. The Company reserves for potential customer returns based upon the historical level of returns. Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expense Cost of sales includes product and product related costs, inbound freight charges, internal transfer costs and depreciation. Selling, general and administrative expense includes purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, depreciation and amortization. DXP's gross margins may not be comparable to those of other entities, since some entities include all of the costs related to their distribution network in cost of sales and others like DXP exclude a portion of these costs from gross margin, including the costs in a line item, such as selling, general and administrative expense. Shipping and Handling Costs The Company classifies shipping and handling charges billed to customers as sales. Shipping and handling charges paid to others are classified as a component of cost of sales. Stock-based Compensation The Company uses restricted stock for stock-based compensation programs. The Company measures compensation cost with respect to equity instruments granted as stock-based payments to employees based upon the estimated fair value of the equity instruments at the date of the grant. The cost as measured is recognized as expense over the period which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. Income Taxes The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. 34 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance which requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e. a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U. S. federal, state and local tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2007. The Company's policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to the fair value measurement guidance and disclosure requirements. The new requirements were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2011 and were to be applied prospectively. DXP adopted the new requirements in the first quarter of 2012; however, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the requirements for presenting comprehensive income. The new requirements were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2011 and were to be applied retrospectively. The standard requires other comprehensive income to be presented in a continuous statement of comprehensive income that would combine the components of net income and other comprehensive income, or in a separate, but consecutive, statement following the statement of income. DXP elected to early adopt these new requirements effective December 31, 2011. In September 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on annual goodwill impairment testing. The standards update allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than it's carrying amount. If based on its qualitative assessment an entity concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. The standards update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. DXP elected to early adopt these new requirements effective December 31, 2011. Inflation We do not believe the effects of inflation have any material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. We attempt to minimize inflationary trends by passing manufacturer price increases on to the customer whenever practicable. 35 ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Our market risk results primarily from volatility in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our debt portfolio. Using floating interest rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2012, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.3 million. Also see “Risk Factors,” included in Item 1A of this report for additional risk factors associated with our business.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of DXP Enterprises, Inc., and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 11, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

DXP Enterprises, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, DXP Enterprises, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of DXP Enterprises, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2012. Our report thereon dated March 11, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion. Hein & Associates LLP Houston, Texas March 11, 2013 38 MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING The Company has assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 based on criteria established by Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO Framework”). The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The Company’s independent registered public accountants that audited the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2012, have issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which appears on page 36. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting included testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls with the participation of its principal executive and principal financial officers. In management’s opinion, the Company has maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in the COSO Framework. /s/ David R.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY DXP Enterprises, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (collectively “DXP,” “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) was incorporated in Texas on July 26, 1996, to be the successor to SEPCO Industries, Inc. DXP Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of distributing maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products, equipment and service to industrial customers. The Company is organized into three segments: Service Centers, Supply Chain Services (SCS) and Innovative Pumping Solutions (IPS). See Note 16 for discussion of the business segments. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Foreign Currency The financial statements of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries are measured using local currencies as their functional currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company’s presentation of cash includes cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are defined as short-term investments with maturity dates of 90 days or less at time of purchase. Receivables and Credit Risk Trade receivables consist primarily of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, which usually require payment within 30 days of the invoice date. However, these payment terms are extended in select cases and many customers do not pay within stated trade terms. The Company has trade receivables from a diversified customer base located primarily in the Rocky Mountain, Northeastern, Midwestern, Southeastern and Southwestern regions of the United States, and Canada. The Company believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers' financial positions and monitors accounts on a regular basis, but generally does not require collateral. Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made monthly and adjustments are made periodically (as circumstances warrant) based upon management’s best estimate of the collectability of all such accounts. The Company writes-off uncollectible trade accounts receivable when the accounts are determined to be uncollectible. No customer represents more than 10% of consolidated sales. 44 Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“USGAAP”) establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. USGAAP prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. See Note 4 for further information regarding the Company’s financial instruments. Inventories Inventories consist principally of finished goods and are priced at lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Reserves are provided against inventories for estimated obsolescence based upon the aging of the inventories and market trends. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried on the basis of cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs of depreciable assets are charged against earnings as incurred. Additions and improvements are capitalized. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and gains or losses are credited or charged to earnings. The principal estimated useful lives used in determining depreciation are as follows: Buildings Building improvements Furniture, fixtures and equipment Leasehold improvements Shorter of estimated useful 20-39 years 10-20 years 3-20 years life or related lease term Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company tests goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.. The Company assigns the carrying value of these intangible assets to its "reporting units" and applies the test for goodwill at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below a segment (a "component") if the component is a business and discrete information is prepared and reviewed regularly by segment management. The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment first requires evaluating qualitative factors to determine if a reporting unit's carrying value would more likely than not exceed its fair value. If the Company concludes, based on the qualitative assessment, that a reporting unit's carrying value would more likely than not exceed its fair value, the Company would perform a two-step quantitative test for that reporting unit. When a quantitative assessment is performed, the first step is to identify a potential impairment, and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill is deemed to be impaired if the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. No impairment of goodwill was required in 2012, 2011 or 2010. 45 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability on an annual basis and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. Stock-based Compensation The Company uses restricted stock for share-based compensation programs. The Company measures compensation cost with respect to equity instruments granted as stock-based payments to employees based upon the estimated fair value of the equity instruments at the date of the grant. The cost as measured is recognized as expense over the period which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. Revenue Recognition For binding agreements to fabricate tangible assets to customer specifications, the Company recognizes revenues using the percentage of completion method. Under this method, revenues are recognized as costs are incurred and include estimated profits calculated on the basis of the relationship between costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. If at any time expected costs exceed the value of the contract, the loss is recognized immediately. Revenues of approximately $15.9 million were recognized on contracts in process for the year ended December 31, 2012. The typical time span of these contracts is approximately one to two years. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, $8.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, of unbilled costs and estimated earnings are included in accounts receivable. For other sales, the Company recognizes revenues when an agreement is in place, the price is fixed, title for product passes to the customer or services have been provided and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes. The Company reserves for potential customer returns based upon the historical level of returns. Shipping and Handling Costs The Company classifies shipping and handling charges billed to customers as sales. Shipping and handling charges paid to others are classified as a component of cost of sales. Self-insured Insurance and Medical Claims We generally retain up to $100,000 of risk for each claim for workers compensation, general liability, automobile and property loss. We accrue for the estimated loss on the self-insured portion of these claims. The accrual is adjusted quarterly based upon reported claims information. The actual cost could deviate from the recorded estimate. We generally retain up to $200,000 of risk on each medical claim for our employees and their dependents. We accrue for the estimated outstanding balance of unpaid medical claims for our employees and their dependents. The accrual is adjusted monthly based on recent claims experience. The actual claims could deviate from recent claims experience and be materially different from the reserve. 46 The accrual for these claims at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Purchase Accounting DXP estimates the fair value of assets, including property, machinery and equipment and their related useful lives and salvage values, intangibles and liabilities when allocating the purchase price of an acquisition. The fair value estimates are developed using the best information available. Third party valuation specialists assist in valuing the Company’s significant acquisitions. Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expense Cost of sales includes product and product related costs, inbound freight charges, internal transfer costs and depreciation. Selling, general and administrative expense includes purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, depreciation and amortization. DXP’s gross margins may not be comparable to those of other entities, since some entities include all of the costs related to their distribution network in cost of sales and others like DXP exclude a portion of these costs from gross margin, including the costs in a line item, such as selling, general and administrative expense. Income Taxes The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, unrecognized gains (losses) on postretirement and other employment-related plans, changes in fair value of certain derivatives, and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities. The Company’s other comprehensive (loss) income is comprised of changes in the market value of an investment with quoted market prices in an active market for identical instruments and translation adjustments from translating foreign subsidiaries to the reporting currency. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance which requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e. a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U. S. federal, state and local tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2007. The Company's policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the fair value measurement guidance and disclosure requirements. The new requirements were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2011 and were to be applied prospectively. DXP adopted the new requirements in the first quarter of 2012; however, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 47 In June 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the requirements for presenting comprehensive income. The new requirements were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2011 and were to be applied retrospectively. The standard requires other comprehensive income to be presented in a continuous statement of comprehensive income that would combine the components of net income and other comprehensive income, or in a separate, but consecutive, statement following the statement of income. DXP elected to early adopt these new requirements effective December 31, 2011. In September 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on annual goodwill impairment testing. The standards update allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than it's carrying amount. If based on its qualitative assessment an entity concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. The standards update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. DXP elected to early adopt these new requirements effective December 31, 2011. NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. Fair value, as defined in the authoritative guidance, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance affects the fair value measurement of an investment with quoted market prices in an active market for identical instruments, which must be classified in one of the following categories: Level 1 Inputs Level 1 inputs come from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability. These inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 Inputs Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which require the Company’s own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following table presents the changes in Level 1 assets for the period indicated ( in thousands ): Years Ended December 31, 2012 2011 Fair value at beginning of period Investment during period Realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in other comprehensive income Fair value at end of period $ 1,679 105 629 $ 2,413 $ - 1,572 107 $ 1,679 48 During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company paid $1.6 million for an investment with quoted market prices in an active market. At December 31, 2011, the market value of this investment was $1.7 million. During 2012, the Company paid $0.1 million for additional shares of this investment. At December 31, 2012, the market value of the investment was $2.4 million. The $0.6 million increase in the market value during the year ended December 31, 2012 was included in other comprehensive income.

On December 31, 2012 the Company amended the agreement which increased the Credit Facility by $75 million (the “Facility”). The Facility consists of a $130 million term loan and a revolving credit facility that provides a $262.5 million line of credit to the Company as of December 31, 2012. The line of credit portion of the Facility provides the option of interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% or prime plus an applicable margin from 0.25% to 1.25% where the applicable margin is determined by the Company’s leverage ratio as defined by the Facility at the date of borrowing. Rates for the $130 million term loan component are 25 basis points higher than the line of credit borrowings. Commitment fees of 0.20% to 0.40% per annum are payable on the portion of the Facility capacity not in use at any given time on the line of credit. Commitment fees are included as interest in the consolidated statements of income. Primarily because the leverage ratio was higher after the acquisition of HSE that occurred on July 11, 2012, interest rates in effect on July 11, 2012 were approximately 70 points higher than they were prior to the acquisition.

The Facility contains financial covenants defining various financial measures and levels of these measures with which the Company must comply. Covenant compliance is assessed as of each quarter end. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral to secure the credit facility. The Facility’s principal financial covenants include: Consolidated Leverage Ratio – The Facility requires that the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, not exceed 3.5 to 1.0 as of the last day of each quarter from the closing date through March 31, 2015 and not to exceed 3.25 to 1.00 from June 30, 2015 and thereafter. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio is defined as the outstanding indebtedness divided by Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date. Indebtedness is defined under the Facility for financial covenant purposes as: (a) all obligations of DXP for borrowed money including but not limited to obligations evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments; (b) obligations to pay deferred purchase price of property or services; (c) capital lease obligations; (d) obligations under conditional sale or other title retention agreements relating to property purchased; (e) issued and outstanding letters of credit; and (f) contingent obligations for funded indebtedness.

Asset Coverage Ratio –The credit facility requires that the Asset Coverage Ratio at any time be not less than 1.0 to 1.0 with “Asset Coverage Ratio” defined as the ratio of (a) the sum of 85% of net accounts receivable plus 65% of net inventory to (b) the aggregate outstanding amount of the revolving credit outstandings on such date. At December 31, 2012, the Company's Asset Coverage Ratio was 2.04 to 1.00. Consolidated EBITDA as defined under the Facility for financial covenant purposes means, without duplication, for any period the consolidated net income of DXP plus, to the extent deducted in calculating consolidated net income, depreciation, amortization (except to the extent that such non-cash charges are reserved for cash charges to be taken in the future), non-cash compensation including stock option or restricted stock expense, interest expense and income tax expense for taxes based on income, certain one-time costs associated with our acquisitions, integration costs, facility consolidation and closing costs, severance costs and expenses and one-time compensation costs in connection with the acquisition of HSE and any permitted acquisition, write-down of cash expenses incurred in connection with the existing credit agreement and extraordinary losses less interest income and extraordinary gains.

The shares of restricted stock granted to employees and that are outstanding as of December 31, 2012 vest in accordance with one of the following vesting schedules: 100% one year after date of grant; 33.3% each year for three years after date of grant; 20% each year for five years after the grant date; or 10% each year for ten years after the grant date. The Restricted Stock Plan provides that on each July 1 during the term of the plan each non-employee director of DXP will be granted the number of whole shares calculated by dividing $75 thousand by the closing price of the common stock on such July 1. The shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee directors of DXP vest one year after the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured based upon the closing prices of DXP’s common stock on the grant dates and is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards. Once restricted stock vests, new shares of the Company’s stock are issued. The following table provides certain information regarding the shares authorized and outstanding under the Restricted Stock Plan at December 31, 2012: Number of shares authorized for grants Number of shares granted Number of shares forfeited Number of shares available for future grants Weighted-average grant price of granted shares 800,000 (688,371) 79,998 191,627 $ 19.61 54 Changes in restricted stock for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 were as follows: Non-vested at December 31, 2011 Granted Forfeited Vested Non-vested at December 31, 2012 Number of Shares 228,592 Weighted Average Grant Price $ 21.10 76,417 (19,260) (75,419) $38.99 $ 32.68 $ 20.30 210,330 $ 26.85 Compensation expense, associated with restricted stock, recognized in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $2.0 million, $1.3 million, and $1.0 million, respectively. Related income tax benefits recognized in earnings in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 were approximately $0.8 million, $0.5 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense under the Restricted Stock Plan at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $4.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, the weighted average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized is 28.2 months. Stock Options The DXP Enterprises, Inc. 1999 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), the DXP Enterprises, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan and the DXP Enterprises, Inc. Director Stock Option Plan authorized the grant of options to purchase 1,800,000, 660,000 and 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. In accordance with these stock option plans that were approved by the Company’s shareholders, options were granted to key personnel for the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock at prices not less than the fair market value of the shares on the dates of grant. Most options could be exercised not earlier than 12 months nor later than 10 years from the date of grant. No future grants will be made under these stock option plans. There was no activity under the Plan during 2012 or 2011. Activity during 2010 with respect to the stock options follows: Options Price Per Share Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Shares 50,000 (50,000) $ 1.25 - $3.36 $ 1.25 - $3.36 $ 2.50 $ 529,000 $ 2.50 $ 489,000 - - - - Outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2009 Exercised during 2010 Outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2010 Cash received from stock options exercised during 2012 and 2011 and 2010 was zero, zero, and $0.1 million, respectively. During 2010, employees and directors of DXP exercised non-qualified stock options. DXP received a tax deduction for the amount of the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares recognized as income by the individuals exercising the options. The after tax benefit of the tax deduction is accounted for as an increase in paid-in capital. NOTE 11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE DATA Basic earnings per share is computed based on weighted average shares outstanding and excludes dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed including the impacts of all potentially dilutive securities. 55 The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated ( in thousands, except per share data ): Basic: Weighted average shares outstanding Net income Convertible preferred stock dividend Net income attributable to common shareholders Per share amount Diluted: Weighted average shares outstanding Net effect of dilutive stock options from treasury stock method Assumed conversion of convertible notes Assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock Total dilutive shares Net income attributable to common shareholders Interest on convertible notes, net of income taxes Convertible preferred stock dividend Net income for diluted earnings per share Per share amount December 31, 2012 2011 2010 14,374 14,301 13,821 $ 50,985 $ 31,437 $ 19,381 (90) (90) (90) $ 50,895 $ 3.54 $ 31,347 $ 2.19 $ 19,291 $ 1.40 14,374 14,301 13,821 - - - - 7 153 840 15,214 840 15,141 840 14,821 $ 50,895 $ 31,347 $ 19,291 - 90 - 90 142 90 $ 50,985 $ 3.35 $ 31,437 $ 2.08 $ 19,523 $ 1.32 NOTE 12 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective dates of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities is based on estimates of fair market value and may be prospectively revised if and when additional information the Company is awaiting concerning certain asset and liability valuations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition. During 2011 the Company paid $1.0 million in contingent purchase price related to the acquisition of Indian Fire & Safety in 2007. On October 10, 2011, DXP acquired substantially all of the assets of Kenneth Crosby (KC). DXP acquired this business to expand DXP's geographic presence in the Eastern U.S. and strengthen DXP's metal working offering. DXP paid approximately $15.6 million for KC, which was borrowed under our existing credit facility. Goodwill of $5.8 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of KC with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is included in both the Service Centers segment and Supply Chain Services segment. On December 30, 2011, DXP acquired substantially all of the assets of C.W. Rod Tool Company ("CW Rod"). DXP acquired this business to strengthen DXP's metal working offering. DXP paid approximately $1.1 million of DXP's common stock (35,714 shares) and approximately $41.7 million in cash for CW Rod, which was borrowed during 2011 and 2012 under our credit facility. The $41.7 million of cash paid for CW Rod includes $36.7 million paid in the form of checks which did not clear our bank until 2012. Goodwill of $10 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.

DXP paid approximately $8.1 million for Aledco which was borrowed under our existing credit facility. Goodwill of $3.4 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Aledco with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce. None of the estimated goodwill is expected to be tax deductible. All of the goodwill is included in the Service Centers segment. On May 1, 2012, DXP completed the acquisition of Industrial Paramedic Services through its wholly owned subsidiary, DXP Canada Enterprises Ltd. Industrial Paramedic Services is a provider of industrial medical and safety services to industrial customers operating in remote locations and large facilities in western Canada.

Industrial Paramedic Services is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta and operates out of three locations in Calgary, Nisku and Dawson Creek. The $25.3 million purchase price was financed with $20.6 million of borrowings under DXP's existing credit facility, $2.5 million of promissory notes bearing a 5% interest rate and 19,685 shares of DXP common stock. Estimated goodwill of $12.1 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.

DXP Canada Enterprises Ltd., acquired all of the outstanding common shares of HSE by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the "Arrangement"). Pursuant to the Arrangement, HSE shareholders received CDN $1.80 in cash per each common share of HSE held. The total transaction value is approximately $85 million, including approximately $4 million in debt and approximately $3 million in transaction costs. The purchase price was financed with borrowings under DXP’s new $325 million credit facility. DXP acquired HSE to expand our industrial health and safety services offering. Estimated goodwill of $25.8 million was recognized for this acquisition. The estimate of goodwill for this acquisition is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of these companies with the operations of DXP and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce.

On October 1, 2012, DXP acquired substantially all of the assets of Jerzy Supply, Inc. (“Jerzy”). DXP acquired this business to expand DXP's geographic presence in the Southern U.S. and strengthen DXP's industrial and hydraulic hoses offering. DXP paid approximately $5.3 million for Jerzy which was borrowed under our existing credit facility. No goodwill was recognized on the purchase. The value assigned to the non-compete agreements and customer relationships for business acquisitions were determined by discounting the estimated cash flows associated with non-compete agreements and customer relationships as of the date the acquisition was consummated. The estimated cash flows were based on estimated revenues net of operating expenses and net of capital charges for assets that contribute to the projected cash flow from these assets. The projected revenues and operating expenses were estimated based on management estimates. Net capital charges for assets that contribute to projected cash flow were based on the estimated fair value of those assets. Discount rates of 17.0% to 28.2% were deemed appropriate for valuing these assets and were based on the risks associated with the respective cash flows taking into consideration the acquired company’s weighted average cost of capital. DXP has not completed appraisals of intangibles or property and equipment for certain acquisitions completed in 2012. DXP has made preliminary estimates for purposes of this disclosure. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, business acquisitions that occurred during 2012 and 2011 contributed sales of $204.8 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, business acquisitions that occurred during 2012 and 2011 contributed earnings before taxes of approximately $5.8 million. 58 The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during 2012 and 2011 in connection with the acquisitions described above ( in thousands ): Cash Accounts Receivable, net Inventory Property and equipment Goodwill and intangibles Other assets Assets acquired Current liabilities assumed Non-current liabilities assumed Net assets acquired $ 12,377 50,645 17,805 36,303 108,842 2,839 228,811 (32,166) (15,296) $ 181,349 The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the Company on a consolidated basis for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, assuming the acquisition of businesses completed in 2012 and 2011 were consummated as of January 1, 2011 are as follows ( in thousands, except per share data ): Net sales Net income Per share data Basic earnings Diluted earnings Years Ended December 31, 2012 2011 $ 1,177,091 $ 1,062,540 $ 54,033 $ 41,359 $ 3.75 $ 3.55 $ 2.88 $ 2.72 The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the Company on a consolidated basis for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, assuming the acquisitions of businesses completed in 2011 were consummated as of January 1, 2010 follows ( in thousands, except per share data ): Net sales Net income Per share data Basic earnings Diluted earnings Years Ended December 31, 2011 $ 903,240 $ 35,511 2010 $ 778,267 $ 22,898 $ 2.48 $ 2.35 $ 1.65 $ 1.56 NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases equipment, automobiles and office facilities under various operating leases.

The Company’s commitments related to long-term debt are discussed in Note 8. 59 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 14 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company offers a 401(K) plan which is eligible to substantially all employees. During 2012, 2011 and part of 2010, the Company elected to match employee contributions at a rate of 50 percent of up to 4 percent of salary deferral. During 2009 the Company stopped matching employee contributions. During 2010 the Company resumed matching of employee contributions. The Company contributed $1.9 million, $1.5 million, and $0.5 million to the 401(K) plan in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. NOTE 15 - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Other comprehensive income generally represents all changes in shareholders’ equity during the period, except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, shareholders. During 2010 the Company had other comprehensive income related to changes in interest rates in connection with an interest rate swap. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, accumulated derivative (loss) income, net of income tax was nil. During 2012, 2011, and 2010 the Company had net other comprehensive income of $0.4 million, $0.1 million and nil, respectively, related to changes in the market value of an investment with quoted market prices in an active market for identical instruments. During 2012, the Company acquired three entities that operate in Canada. These Canadian entities maintain financial data in Canadian dollars. Upon consolidation, the Company translates the financial data from these foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars and records cumulative translation adjustments in other comprehensive income. The Company recorded $0.6 million in translation adjustments in other comprehensive income during the year ended December 31, 2012. NOTE 16 – SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL 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, 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, fastener, industrial supply, safety products and safety services categories. The Innovative Pumping Solutions segment fabricates and assembles custom-made pump packages.
