Recent Events

Eastern Valve Acquisition

On March 9, 2026, DSG acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Eastern Valve & Control Specialties Ltd. (“Eastern Valve” and the “Eastern Valve Transaction”). Eastern Valve is located in Paradise, Newfoundland, Canada and supplies and services industrial valve products throughout Atlantic Canada. The total purchase consideration exchanged was $16.5 million, net of cash acquired of $0.3 million. DSG funded the Eastern Valve Transaction with borrowings under its Amended Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 3 – Business Acquisitions for additional information about Eastern Valve and the Eastern Valve Transaction.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with DSG’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All normal recurring adjustments have been made that are necessary to fairly state the results of operations for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

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

However, quarterly financial statements for Gexpro Services are prepared on financial close dates that may differ from that of the Company. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, there was a three day difference in the period end. The consolidated financial statement impact of the three day difference arising from the different period ends for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was not material. The Company utilizes the exchange rates in effect at Gexpro Services’ reporting date and the appropriate weighted-average rate for its fiscal reporting period.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted

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

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

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

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

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

Note 3 – Business Acquisitions

DSG and its operating companies acquired one business during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The acquisition was accounted for under ASC 805, the acquisition method of accounting. The allocation of consideration exchanged to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on estimated acquisition-date fair values. The final valuations will be completed within the one-year measurement period following the acquisition date, and any adjustments will be recorded in the period in which the adjustments are determined.

On March 9, 2026, DSG acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Eastern Valve & Control Specialties Ltd. (“Eastern Valve”), with a purchase price of approximately $16.5 million, net of cash acquired of $0.3 million. Eastern Valve is located in Paradise, Newfoundland, Canada and supplies and services industrial valve products throughout Atlantic Canada. Eastern Valve was acquired to expand DSG’s operating footprint in the Canadian market. The results of operations of Eastern Valve are included within the Canada Branch Division reportable segment. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 9 – Debt for information about the Amended Credit Agreement.

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

Total purchase consideration exchanged, net of cash acquired$16,241$295$16,536

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

Certain estimated values for the Eastern Valve Transaction, including working capital and other adjustments to the initial balance sheet, the valuation of intangibles and property, plant and equipment and income taxes are not yet finalized, and the preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of acquisition. During the measurement period, the Company completed its assessment of certain assets and liabilities and finalized the working capital adjustment in accordance with the purchase agreement. As a result, the preliminary purchase price allocation was revised to reflect new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The adjustments resulted in a $0.6 million increase to goodwill. Total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired increased due to working capital and other adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement of $0.3 million.

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

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

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

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

The Company has unused outstanding letters of credit of$4.8 millionas of June 30, 2026. Net of these letters of credit, there was $344.7 million of borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2026.

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

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

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the debt instrument and reported as a component of Interest expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Amortization of deferred financing costs was $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $0.9 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30,2025, respectively.

Each of the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement mature on December 18, 2030, at which time all outstanding loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, must be repaid and the revolving credit facility commitments will terminate. Future maturities of long-term debt are $35.0 million per year payable in equal quarterly installments during 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029, with the remaining balance of $610.4 million due in 2030 upon maturity. The Company is also required to prepay the term loans with the net cash proceeds from any disposition of certain assets (subject to reinvestment rights) or from the incurrence of any unpermitted debt. The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow the revolving loans until December 18, 2030, prepay any of the term loans, and terminate any of the commitments, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions and the reimbursement of certain lender costs in the case of prepayments of certain types of loans.

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

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

The Amended Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including financial maintenance covenants requiring the Company to maintain compliance with a consolidated minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total net leverage ratio, each determined in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement contains various events of default (subject to exceptions, thresholds and grace periods as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement). Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all obligations at a rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the applicable interest rate. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2026.

Note 12 – Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $5.9 million, a 41.0% effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026. An income tax expense of $6.9 million, a 57.8% effective tax rate was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, foreign income, a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets and other discrete items. The change in the valuation allowances includes updated U.S. deferred tax projections, particularly related to future taxable income generated by the Company’s deferred tax liabilities. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, foreign income and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $6.3 million, a 41.4% effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026. An income tax expense of $9.1 million, a 52.4% effective rate was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, foreign income and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets. The change in the valuation allowances includes updated U.S. deferred tax projections particularly related to future taxable income generated by the Company’s deferred tax liabilities. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, foreign income and a change in valuation allowances related to interest expense limitation deferred tax assets.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2026, the Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for the years 2022 through 2024 and income tax examinations from various other jurisdictions for the years 2018 through 2025.

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

Note 16 – Subsequent Events

Merger Agreement

On July 15, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Eclipse Parent Acquisitions, LLC (“Parent”), Eclipse Intermediate Acquisitions, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Intermediate”), and Eclipse Acquisitions Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Intermediate (“Merger Sub”). Parent, Intermediate and Merger Sub are affiliated with LKCM Headwater Investments, LLC (“LKCM Headwater”), J. Bryan King and their respective affiliates. Mr. King is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and is also the Managing Partner of LKCM Headwater. LKCM Headwater and its affiliates beneficially owned, in the aggregate, approximately 78.6% of the outstanding shares of DSG common stock as of June 30, 2026.

The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Intermediate and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of DSG common stock, other than shares owned by Parent and certain affiliated stockholders, treasury shares and shares for which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn, will be converted into the right to receive $35.00 in cash, without interest. If the Merger is completed, the Company will become privately held and DSG common stock will cease to be listed on Nasdaq.

The Merger Agreement and the Transactions were unanimously recommended by a special committee of the Company’s Board of Directors comprised solely of disinterested directors (the “Special Committee”) and were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, with certain directors recusing themselves from the vote. Completion of the Merger is subject to specified closing conditions, including (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of DSG common stock entitled to vote thereon, (ii) approval of the Transactions by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the Company’s disinterested stockholders (as such term is defined in Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) in respect of the Transactions, (iii) expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”) and (iv) the absence of any law or order that enjoins, restrains, makes illegal or otherwise prevents or prohibits the Merger.

The Company has made various representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including covenants to conduct its business in the ordinary course and to refrain from taking certain actions without Parent’s consent, subject to specified exceptions. In addition, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, revolving loans under our credit facility, other than borrowings to finance certain contemplated acquisitions, may not exceed $100.0 million outstanding at any time between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains various termination rights for the Company and Parent, including the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger has not been consummated on or before December 31, 2026 (the “Outside Date”), subject to certain limitations and as such date may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. If the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company in connection with the Company’s entry into a definitive agreement providing for a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in accordance with the Merger Agreement or by Parent in connection with an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company would be required to pay Parent a termination fee of approximately $9.3 million in cash. If the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company under specified circumstances relating to (i) the failure of Parent, Intermediate or Merger Sub to consummate the Merger when required to do so under the Merger Agreement or (ii) Parent’s, Intermediate’s or Merger Sub’s breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in the Merger Agreement that resulted from a Willful Breach (as defined in the Merger Agreement), Parent would be required to pay the Company a reverse termination fee of approximately $22.2 million in cash.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the Company’s existing credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) that permits, subject to its terms and conditions, proceeds of revolving loans to be used to finance the Merger and related transactions. The Merger Agreement and the Credit Agreement Amendment were entered into after June 30, 2026, and no effects of the proposed Merger or related financing have been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
