## Exhibit 99.1

**Distribution Solutions Group Announces $30 Million Increase** 

**to Its Share Repurchase Program**

**FORT WORTH, TEXAS, November 17, 2025 - Distribution Solutions Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSGR) ("DSG" or the "Company")**, a premier, specialty distribution company, announced that its Board of Directors has approved a common share repurchase authorization of an additional $30 million. This authorization is in addition to approximately $2.9 million still available under previous authorizations. During the first nine months through September 30, 2025, the Company has repurchased approximately $23.5 million of its common stock.

"We are excited to announce an increase to our stock repurchase authorization," said Bryan King, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. "The strength of our business prospects and our ability to generate strong free cash flow provide us with confidence to deploy capital in ways that we believe will enhance long-term shareholder value and provides us with the flexibility to repurchase shares when we believe we are undervalued in the marketplace. Our balance sheet continues to strengthen, and this repurchase authorization aligns with our broader capital allocation strategy."

Repurchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions as part of the Company's ongoing capital allocation strategy.
