DXP ENTERPRISES ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

SALES INCREASE 33.8% - NET INCOME INCREASES 49.0%

Houston, TX, -- April 24, 2007 - DXP Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXPE) today announced net income of $3,727,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, with diluted earnings per share of $.65 compared to net income of $2,502,000 and diluted earnings per share of $.44 for the first quarter of 2006. Sales increased 33.8% to $83.6 million from $62.5 million for the first quarter of last year. Sales by the four businesses acquired in 2006 accounted for $10.2 million of the sales increase. Excluding sales by the four acquired businesses, sales for the first quarter of 2007 increased 17.5% from the first quarter of 2006. The sales increase is primarily due to a broad based increase in sales of pumps, bearings, safety products and mill supplies.

David R. Little, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, “Our internal growth strategies and the execution of those strategies continue to gain us market share and improved profitability. In addition, the execution and implementation of our acquisition strategies has been outstanding with excellent results. Our new team members from each acquisition have been a big part of our success as they have adopted our culture and vision. We are excited about the prospects for 2007 and our outlook continues to be strong.”

Mac McConnell, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer said, “I continue to be pleased with our ability to integrate, grow and increase the profits of the businesses we acquired over the last several years.”
