Exhibit 99.1

DXP ENTERPRISES ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

NET INCOME INCREASES 60%

Houston, TX. November 12, 2003 DXP Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:DXPE)today announced third quarter 2003 net income of $0.7 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.13, compared to net income of $0.4 million or $0.09 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2002. Revenues for the quarter increased 5.1%, to $40.4 million from $38.4 million for the third quarter of last year. Increased sales of products for offshore energy production account for the increase.

Year-to-date net income as of September 30, 2003 was $1.6 million or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $1.2 million or $0.26 per diluted share before the effect of a change in accounting principle for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

"I am pleased that sales for the third quarter and nine months increased over 2002 levels," said David R. Little, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We expect 2004 sales of products for offshore energy production to exceed 2003 sales of such products, however, deliveries of products for offshore energy production in the fourth quarter of 2003 are expected to be below the third quarter of 2003 level," said Mr. Little.

In July 2001, new standards were issued relating to accounting for goodwill. These standards took effect for the Company on January 1, 2002. As result of these new standards the Company recorded a transitional impairment loss of $2.5 million before income taxes ($1.7 million after income taxes). This charge was reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2002.
