David R. Little, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "We are pleased with our second quarter results and see positive momentum in parts of our businesses. During the quarter, we delivered organic growth consistent with our expectations outlined in the first quarter. We completed two acquisitions in the second quarter, Natpro and Tucker Tool. DXP’s Service Centers, Supply Chain Services and Innovative Pumping Solutions are focused on battling for market share in today’s choppy environment while not losing sight of profitability and cash flow generation.

As we look to the second half of the year, we maintain a conservative macro outlook, while remaining confident in our ability to grow organically and via acquisitions. We will continue to fund growth and initiatives that we believe will strengthen DXP's presence in North America."

Mac McConnell, Senior Vice President and CFO, added, "We are pleased to report sequential sales and earnings growth. While we experienced organic sequential growth, we were impacted by one-time acquisition costs and seasonality in Canada. Our leverage ratio under our credit facility at June 30, 2013 was a modest 1.9:1. Subsequent to the quarter end, we closed two additional acquisitions, Alaska Pump and Tool-Tech."

DXP will host a conference call to be web cast live on the Company’s website (www.dxpe.com) at 5:00 P.M. Eastern time today.
