Kodiak Gas Services Announces First Quarter 2025 Financial Results, Provides Updated Full Year 2025 Guidance

Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. (NYSE: KGS) (“Kodiak” or the “Company”), a leading provider of critical energy infrastructure and contract compression services, today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and updated full-year 2025 guidance.

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $30.4 million, compared to $19.1 million and $30.2 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

First Quarter 2025 and Recent Highlights

  • Record quarterly adjusted EBITDA(1) of $177.7 million
  • Contract Services adjusted gross margin percentage(1) increased sequentially to 67.7%
  • Deployed 48,900 horsepower of new, large horsepower compression units
  • Fleet utilization increased sequentially to 96.9%
  • Repurchased approximately $10 million of common stock at an average price of $36.87
  • Increased quarterly dividend by 10% to $0.45 per share, or $1.80 per share annualized

Revised 2025 Outlook Highlights

  • Raised full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $695 to $725 million, a $10 million increase to the low end of the range

"Kodiak had another outstanding quarter, with strong recontracting results and increased operational efficiency driving new quarterly records in total revenues, adjusted EBITDA and discretionary cash flow," said Mickey McKee, Kodiak’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to high grade our compression fleet, adding new, large horsepower units and divesting underutilized non-core horsepower assets. Execution of this strategy drove a third consecutive quarterly increase in fleet utilization and Contract Services adjusted gross margin percentage.

"Despite recent volatility in energy prices, the long-term growth outlook for U.S. natural gas supply and associated need for large horsepower compression infrastructure is unchanged, and Kodiak is committed to delivering the high level of service our customers expect with one of the safest and most sustainable contract compression fleets in the industry.

"The production focus of our compression services—supported by fixed-revenue contracts with premier customers operating in the most economic basins—drives the strength and resilience of our business model. Given the sustainability of our cash flow and the positive outlook for the remainder of the year, we increased our full year 2025 guidance and enhanced our return of capital to shareholders through share repurchases and the recently announced increase to our quarterly dividend, while continuing to drive to our leverage target."

(1) Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted gross margin percentage are non-GAAP financial measures. Definitions and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are included herein.

The Company is unable to reconcile projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income (loss) and discretionary cash flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities and projected adjusted gross margin percentage to projected gross margin percentage, the most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, respectively, without unreasonable efforts because components of the calculations are inherently unpredictable, such as changes to current assets and liabilities, unknown future events, and estimating certain future GAAP measures. The inability to project certain components of the calculation would significantly affect the accuracy of the reconciliations.

Discretionary cash flow guidance assumes no change to Secured Overnight Financing Rate futures.

To listen to the call by phone, dial 877-407-4012 and ask for the Kodiak Gas Services call at least 10 minutes prior to the start time.

About Kodiak

Kodiak is a leading contract compression services provider in the United States, serving as a critical link in the infrastructure that enables the safe and reliable production and transportation of natural gas and oil. Headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, Kodiak provides contract compression and related services to oil and gas producers and midstream customers in high–volume gas gathering systems, processing facilities, multi-well gas lift applications and natural gas transmission systems. More information is available at www.kodiakgas.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense; income tax expense; and depreciation and amortization; plus (i) loss on extinguishment of debt; (ii) loss (gain) on derivatives; (iii) equity compensation expense; (iv) severance expenses; (v) transaction expenses; (vi) loss (gain) on sale of assets; and (vii) impairment of compression equipment. Adjusted EBITDA percentage is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA percentage are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and other financial institutions, to assess: (i) the financial performance of our assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of our assets; (ii) the viability of capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities; (iii) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to make debt payments and pay dividends; and (iv) our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in our industry without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure. We believe adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA percentage provide useful information because, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, they provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone. We also believe that external users of our financial statements benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating the results of our business. Reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and net cash provided by operating activities are presented below.

Adjusted gross margin is defined as revenue less cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted gross margin percentage is defined as adjusted gross margin divided by total revenues. We believe adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage are useful as supplemental measures to investors of our operating profitability. Reconciliations of adjusted gross margin to gross margin are presented below.

Discretionary cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less (i) maintenance capital expenditures; (ii) certain changes in operating assets and liabilities; and (iii) certain other expenses; plus (w) cash loss on extinguishment of debt; (x) severance expenses; and (y) transaction expenses. We believe discretionary cash flow is a useful liquidity and performance measure and supplemental financial measure for us in assessing our ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, make growth capital expenditures and assess our operating performance. A reconciliation of discretionary cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities is presented below.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less (i) maintenance capital expenditures; (ii) certain changes in operating assets and liabilities; (iii) certain other expenses; and (iv) growth and other capital expenditures; plus (w) cash loss on extinguishment of debt; (x) severance expenses; (y) transaction expenses; and (z) proceeds from sale of assets. We believe free cash flow is a liquidity measure and useful supplemental financial measure for us in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments to grow our business and to service our debt. A reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities is presented below.
