#### Financial Performance Measures
The three measures listed below are important financial performance measures used by the Company to link CAP to the CEO and NEOs (other than the CEO), for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance. These financial measures are part of our short-term and long-term incentive plan design that reflects the Company’s philosophy to pay for absolute and competitive performance, in alignment with stockholder returns.

The following table sets forth the four principal compensation measures that the Company used to measure the performance of its executive officers, including the NEOs, during 2024.

| Key Compensation Performance Measures |
| Stock price performance               |
| Sales growth (year-over-year)         |
| Adjusted EBITDA                       |
| Net Income                            |

#### DXP ENTERPRISES, INC. 2025 PROXY STATEMENT51
The following graph shows the relationship between each of Stock Price, Sales growth, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income and compensation actually paid for our PEO and the average of the other NEOs in each year. Compensation actually paid does not reflect the compensation that the NEOs will ultimately realize as it includes changes in unvested equity value.
