We engaged a third party consultant to assist us in assessing our contracts with customers, processes and controls required to address the impact that ASU No. 2014-09 would have on our business. The Company elected the modified retrospective method and adopted the new revenue guidance effective January 1, 2018, with no impact to the opening retained earnings. The analysis of contracts with customers under the new revenue recognition standard was consistent with the Company's current revenue recognition model, whereby revenue is recognized primarily on the date products are shipped to the customer. The ASU also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, significant judgments and accounting policy. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 4 – Revenue Recognition.

REVENUE RECOGNITION [Abstract]
REVENUE RECOGNITION	NOTE 4 – REVENUE RECOGNITION In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method with no impact to the opening retained earnings and determined there were no changes required to its reported revenues as a result of the adoption. The Company has enhanced its disclosures of revenue to comply with the new guidance. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition." Overview The Company's primary source of revenue is the sale of products, and service to energy and industrial customers. The Company is organized into three business segments: Service Centers, Supply Chain Services and Innovative Pumping Solutions. The Service Centers segment provides a wide range of maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products, equipment and integrated services, including logistics capabilities, to industrial customers. Revenue is recognized upon the completion of our performance obligation(s) under the sales agreement. The majority of the Service Centers segment revenue originates from the satisfaction of a single performance obligation, the delivery of products. Revenues are recognized when an agreement is in place, the performance obligations under the contract have been identified, and the price or consideration to be received is fixed and allocated to the performance obligation(s) in the contract. We believe our performance obligation has been satisfied when title passes to the customer or services have been rendered under the contract. Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes. The Company fabricates and assembles custom-made pump packages, remanufactures pumps and manufactures branded private label pumps within our Innovative Pumping Solutions segment. For binding agreements to fabricate tangible assets to customer specifications, the Company recognizes revenues over time when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits of the work performed. This typically occurs when the products have no alternative use for us and we have a right to payment for the work completed to date plus a reasonable profit margin. Contracts generally include cancellation provisions that require the customer to reimburse us for costs incurred through the date of cancellation. We recognize revenue for these contracts using the percentage of completion method, an "input method" as defined by the new standard. Under this method, revenues are recognized as costs are incurred and include estimated profits calculated on the basis of the relationship between costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. If at any time expected costs exceed the value of the contract, the loss is recognized immediately. The typical time span of these contracts is approximately three to eighteen months. The Supply Chain Services segment provides a wide range of MRO products and manages all or part of a customer's supply chain, including warehouse and inventory management. Like the Service Centers segment above, revenue for the Supply Chain Services segment is recognized upon the completion of performance obligations. Revenues are recognized when an agreement or contract is in place and the price is fixed followed by execution of our performance obligations. We generally consider the satisfaction of our performance obligation has occurred when title for product passes to the customer or services have been rendered. Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes. See Note 15 "Segment Reporting"

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES	NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. Fair value, as defined in the authoritative guidance, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance affects the fair value measurement of an investment with quoted market prices in an active market for identical instruments, which must be classified in one of the following categories: Level 1 Inputs Level 1 inputs come from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability. These inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 Inputs Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which require the Company's own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Our acquisitions may include contingent consideration as part of the purchase price. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the contingent payments to be made using a weighted probability of possible payments. The unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of the contingent consideration include managements assumptions about the likelihood of payment based on the established benchmarks and discount rates based on an internal rate of return analysis. The fair value measurement includes inputs that are Level 3 measurement as discussed above, as they are not observable in the market. Should actual results increase or decrease as compared to the assumption used in our analysis, the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations will increase or decrease, up to the contracted limit, as applicable. Changes in the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration are measured each reporting period and reflected in our results of operations. As of June 30, 2018, we recorded a $4 million liability for contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of ASI in other current and long-term liabilities. See further discussion at Note 14 "Business Acquisitions . For the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each category therein, and gains or losses recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018: Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Contingent Liability for Accrued Consideration (in thousands) Beginning balance at January 1, 2018 $ - Acquisitions and settlements Acquisition of ASI (Note 14) 4,214 Settlements - Total remeasurement adjustments: (Gains) or losses recorded against goodwill (208 ) Ending balance at June 30, 2018* $ 4,006 The amount of total (gains) or losses for the year included in earnings or changes to net assets, attributable to changes in unrealized (gains) or losses relating to assets or liabilities still held at year-end. $ - * Included in other current and long-term liabilities Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's contingent consideration liabilities designated as Level 3 are as follows: (in thousands, unaudited) Fair Value at June 30, 2018 Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Inputs Contingent consideration: (ASI acquisition) $ 4,006 Discounted cash flow Annualized EBITDA and probability of achievement Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs As presented in the table above, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of ASI are annualized EBITDA forecasts developed by the Company's management and the probability of achievement of those EBITDA results. The discount rate used in the calculation was 7.6%. Significant increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significantly (lower) higher fair value measurement. Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2018 but which require disclosure of their fair values include: cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related benefits, and the revolving line of credit and term loan debt under our syndicated credit agreement facility. The Company believes that the estimated fair value of such instruments at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 approximates their carrying value as reported on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

INCOME TAXES [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act contains several tax law changes that will impact the Company in the current and future periods. The Company is applying the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission when accounting for the enactment-date effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Specifically, SAB 118 permits companies to record a provisional amount which can be remeasured during the measurement period due to obtaining, preparing, or analyzing additional information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the enacted date. At June 30, 2018, the Company has not completed our accounting for all of the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; however, in certain cases, as described below, the Company has made a reasonable estimate of other effects. The Company will continue to refine our calculations as additional analysis is completed. The Company originally remeasured our U.S. net deferred tax liabilities and recorded a provisional $1.3 million benefit and a corresponding provisional decrease in the U.S. net deferred tax liability relating to the reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35%. We are still in the process of analyzing Tax Cuts and Jobs Act's impact as permitted under SAB 118. The largest impact to the Company being the remeasurement of deferred taxes due to the U.S. statutory tax rate change. The mandatory repatriation and resulting toll charge on accumulated foreign earnings and profits has limited impact on the Company as unremitted earnings from non-US jurisdictions is minimal. The Company is provisional in its approach and assertion that there is no financial statement impact related to mandatory repatriation as of June 30, 2018. We will continue to monitor tax reform, as we anticipate additional guidance from the Internal Revenue Service will become more available throughout 2018. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was a tax expense of 25.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a tax expense of 36.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the effective tax rate was increased by state taxes, foreign taxes, and nondeductible expenses and partially offset by research and development tax credits.

The fair value measurements used by the Company are considered Level 2 inputs, as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value estimates were based on quoted prices for identical or similar securities. August 2017 Credit Agreements On August 29, 2017, the Company entered into two credit agreements (the "August 2017 Credit Agreements") that provided for an $85.0 million asset-backed revolving line of credit (the "ABL Revolver") and a $250.0 million senior secured term loan B (the "Term Loan B"). Under the ABL Revolver, the Company may request $10.0 million incremental revolving loan commitments in an additional aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million, subject to pro forma compliance with certain net secured leverage ratio tests. The applicable rate for the ABL Revolver is LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% per annum. The applicable rate for the Term Loan B was LIBOR plus 5.50% subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The maturity date of the ABL Revolver is August 29, 2022 and the maturity date of the Term Loan B is August 29, 2023. On June 25, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the "Repricing Amendment") to the Senior Secured Term Loan B Agreement. The Repricing Amendment, among other things, reduced the applicable rate for the term loans to LIBOR plus 4.75% (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%) from LIBOR plus 5.50%. The Repricing Amendment also includes a "soft call" prepayment penalty of 1.0% for a period of six months commencing with the date of the Repricing Amendment for certain prepayments, refinancing, and amendments. The Company accounted for the Repricing Amendment as a modification of debt. Approximately, $60,000 of prior deferred debt issuance cost were accelerated and recorded as additional interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive operations, attributable to prior syndicate lenders who reduced or eliminated their positions during the amendment process. The Company also incurred $0.9 million of third party fees in connection with the Repricing Amendment, which was also recorded as additional interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive operations. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had no amount outstanding under the ABL Revolver and had $80.0 million of borrowing capacity, including the impact of letters of credit. Interest on Borrowings The interest rates on our borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, were as follows: June 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 ABL Revolver 3.8 % 2.9 % Term Loan B 6.8 % 7.1 % Promissory Note 2.9 % 2.9 % Weighted average interest rate 6.8 % 7.0 % The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the August 2017 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2018.

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS [Abstract]
BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS	NOTE 14 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS On January 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Application Specialties, Inc. ("ASI"), a distributor of cutting tools, abrasives, coolants and machine shop supplies. The Company paid approximately $11.7 million in cash and stock. The purchase price also includes approximately $4.0 million in contingent consideration. The purchase was financed with $10.8 million of cash on hand as well as issuing $0.9 million of the Company's common stock. ASI will provide the Company's metal working division with new geographic territory and enhance DXP's end market mix. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, ASI contributed sales of $23.0 million and earnings before taxes of approximately $2.6 million. As part of our purchase agreement, we may pay up to an additional $4.6 million of contingent consideration over the next three years based on the achievement of certain earnings benchmarks established for calendar years 2018, 2019 and 2020. The purchase price includes the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration recorded at the present value of $4.0 million. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. We determined the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations by calculating the probability-weighted payments based on our assessment of the likelihood that the benchmarks will be achieved. The probability-weighted payments were then discounted using a discount rate based on an internal rate of return analysis using the probability-weighted cash flows. The fair value measurement includes earnings forecasts which are a Level 3 measurement as discussed in Note 5. The fair value of the contingent consideration is reviewed quarterly over the earn-out period to compare actual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") achieved to the estimated EBITDA used in our forecasts. As of June 30, 2018 approximately $1.4 million of the actual cash due toward the contingent consideration earned is recorded in current liabilities. We may pay up to an additional $3.2 million over the remaining earn-out period based on the achievement of certain EBITDA benchmarks. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration is recorded at the present value of $4.0 million at June 30, 2018. Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration, up to the total contractual amount, are reflected in our results of operations in the periods in which they are identified. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration may materially impact and cause volatility in our future operating results. Changes in our estimates for the contingent consideration are discussed in Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The total acquisition consideration is equal to the sum of all cash payments, the fair value of stock issued, and the present value of any contingent consideration. The following table summarizes the total acquisition consideration for the ASI Purchase: Purchase Price Consideration Total Consideration (Dollars in thousands) Cash payments $ 10,792 Fair value of stock issued 894 Present value of estimated fair value of contingent earn-out consideration 4,006 Total purchase price consideration $ 15,692
