Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. (NYSE: KGS) is one of the largest providers of contract compression services in the United States. The company operates through two primary segments: Compression Operations and Other Services. In the Compression Operations segment, Kodiak runs both company-owned and customer-owned infrastructure under fixed-revenue contracts, facilitating the production, gathering, and transportation of natural gas and oil. This segment includes a fleet generating over 3.2 million horsepower, serving clients in high-volume gas gathering systems, processing facilities, multi-well gas lift applications, and natural gas transmission systems. The Other Services segment includes comprehensive contract services such as station construction, maintenance, overhaul, and other ancillary offerings.
Recently, Kodiak has achieved several significant milestones. In February 2024, the SEC declared effective Kodiak's registration statement related to its merger with CSI Compressco LP, marking a pivotal step towards creating the largest contract compression fleet in the industry. The merger, expected to close in the second quarter of 2024, aims to enhance service offerings and operational scale.
Financially, Kodiak reported strong performance in 2023, achieving record annual revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. The company’s focus on large horsepower compression infrastructure, particularly in the Permian Basin, has driven growth, with revenues from Compression Operations increasing by 12.3% to $735.6 million in 2023. This segment also saw an improvement in gross margin by 16% to $295.6 million. The Other Services segment more than doubled its revenue from the previous year, finishing 2023 with $114.8 million.
For 2024, Kodiak anticipates continued strong demand for its services, buoyed by the growing need for natural gas infrastructure to support LNG export projects. The company is fully contracted for its new unit deliveries for 2024 and is actively discussing future needs with its customers for 2025. With a committed strategy to maintain the safest and most sustainable contract compression fleet, Kodiak continues to prioritize delivering high-quality service and mechanical availability to its customers.
Further, Kodiak's financial health remains robust, with total debt at $1.8 billion as of December 2023. The company successfully issued $750 million in senior unsecured notes due 2029, primarily to reduce existing ABL Facility borrowings. Post-merger, Kodiak's liquidity remains strong with plans to utilize its ABL Facility to manage CSI Compressco's outstanding debts.
For investors and stakeholders, Kodiak’s focus on disciplined capital allocation, including growth in its compression fleet and attractive returns through dividends, underscores its commitment to long-term value creation.
