 Information regarding financial data by geographic areas is set forth in Note 19 - Revenue of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Acquisitions A key component of our growth strategy includes acquiring businesses with complementary and desirable product lines, locations, or customers in order to maintain our leading position as the largest distributor of rotating equipment in North America. Since 2004, we have completed 58 acquisitions. We continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire businesses and companies that complement and enable further investment in our key priority areas. The risks associated with acquisitions are more fully discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” including the risk factory entitled “Risks associated with executing our acquisition strategy.”. In 2024 we completed seven acquisitions for a combined total of $174.9 million. See Note 16 - Business Acquisitions for additional information. Competition Our business is highly competitive. In the Service Centers segment we compete with a variety of industrial supply distributors, some of which may have greater financial and other resources than we do. Some 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 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 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. 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. We generally compete on expertise, responsiveness, and price in all of our segments. Table of Contents 12

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. Additionally, we are partially self-ins
