Insights

Kodiak Gas Services delivered an exceptional performance in Q4 and full-year 2024, with significant financial improvements across key metrics. Net income attributable to shareholders reached $19.1 million in Q4 2024, a remarkable turnaround from a $6.9 million loss in Q4 2023. For the full year, net income more than doubled to $49.9 million from $20.1 million in 2023.

Particularly impressive is the 39% year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA to $609.6 million, driven by the successful integration of the CSI acquisition and operational enhancements. The sequential improvement in Contract Services segment adjusted gross margin to 66.7% demonstrates the company's strengthening pricing power and operational efficiency.

Kodiak's strategic positioning in the Permian Basin (approximately 70% of deployed horsepower) places it advantageously amid growing natural gas demand for LNG exports and electricity generation. The near-full fleet utilization (97%) indicates strong market demand and operational optimization.

The company has effectively balanced growth investments with shareholder returns, deploying 162,000 horsepower of new large compression units while returning $179 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Management's 2025 guidance of $685-725 million in Adjusted EBITDA represents continued growth momentum.

The strategic divestiture of 129,000 horsepower of non-core assets and exit from four countries demonstrates management's disciplined focus on high-return markets. With a leverage ratio of 3.9x and $322.5 million available on its ABL facility, Kodiak maintains adequate financial flexibility to support its growth initiatives while continuing shareholder returns.

Kodiak's operational transformation throughout 2024 positions it exceptionally well in the critical energy infrastructure space. The company's strategic focus on large horsepower compression units in the Permian Basin reflects an astute reading of market dynamics where natural gas infrastructure demands continue to intensify.

The achieved 97% fleet utilization rate represents near-optimal asset deployment, a notable achievement in the compression services sector where utilization directly correlates with return on capital. This high utilization, coupled with the 66.7% adjusted gross margin in Contract Services, indicates Kodiak has established an enviable market position with pricing power.

From an infrastructure perspective, Kodiak's portfolio high-grading - adding 1 million horsepower while divesting 129,000 horsepower of non-core assets - aligns perfectly with the evolving U.S. energy landscape. The company's compression services are increasingly critical for natural gas movement to LNG facilities and power generation plants, both sectors experiencing substantial growth.

The planned 2025 capital expenditure of $240-280 million shows disciplined growth targeting high-return opportunities. This capital allocation strategy balances infrastructure expansion with shareholder returns, maintaining the 3.9x leverage ratio within acceptable industry parameters.

Kodiak's exit from South America and concentration on oil-driven U.S. basins demonstrates strategic clarity, focusing resources where infrastructure returns are highest and most predictable. The company's evolution into a pure-play critical infrastructure provider with dominant Permian Basin exposure creates a compelling competitive positioning as natural gas demand accelerates.

CEO Commentary

“Kodiak had a transformative year, completing the CSI acquisition which allowed us to build upon our industry-leading position in the Permian Basin and set new financial records," stated Mickey McKee, Kodiak’s founder and Chief Executive Officer. “While maintaining capital discipline and deleveraging, we increased our contract compression fleet by roughly 1 million horsepower and actively high-graded our asset base, allowing us to set new records in revenue, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. We realized improvements in margins as well, with our Contract Services segment delivering a record adjusted gross margin percentage in the fourth quarter. Additionally, we enhanced our shareholder return program through increased dividends and $40 million in share repurchases, returning a total of $179 million to shareholders in 2024. Kodiak’s record-setting year would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our dedicated employees that are focused on providing our customers with unequaled service quality.

"Kodiak's outlook has never been stronger. The work we completed last year to streamline our operations and maintain our focus on oil-driven basins prepared us for future success. Customer demand for large horsepower compression infrastructure continues to be strong, particularly in the Permian Basin, where approximately 70% of our horsepower is deployed. Our fleet is approaching full utilization, and we expect this to continue given the robust multi-year demand outlook for natural gas to supply the coming wave of LNG export projects and to meet the rapidly increasing demand for natural gas-fired electricity. In closing, we remain committed to having the safest and most sustainable contract compression fleet in the industry and delivering the high quality of service and industry-leading mechanical availability that our customers have come to expect.”

The Company is unable to reconcile projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income (loss), projected 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.

About Kodiak Gas Services, Inc.

Kodiak is the largest contract compression service 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.

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. Reconciliations of discretionary cash flow to net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities are 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 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. Reconciliations of free cash flow to net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities are presented below.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding: (i) expected operating results, such as revenue growth and earnings, including upon the continued integration of CSI Compressco LP into our operations, and our ability to service our indebtedness; (ii) anticipated levels of capital expenditures and uses of capital; (iii) current or future volatility in the credit markets and future market conditions; (iv) potential or pending acquisition transactions or other strategic transactions, the timing thereof, the receipt of necessary approvals to close such acquisitions, our ability to finance such acquisitions, and our ability to achieve the intended operational, financial, and strategic benefits from any such transactions; (v) expected synergies and efficiencies to be achieved as a result of the acquisition of CSI Compressco LP (the “CSI Acquisition”); (vi) expectations regarding the leverage and dividend profile as a result of the CSI Acquisition, including the amount and timing of future dividend payments; (vii) expectations of the effect on our financial condition of claims, litigation, environmental costs, contingent liabilities and governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings; (viii) production and capacity forecasts for the natural gas and oil industry; (ix) strategy for customer retention, growth, fleet maintenance, market position and financial results; (x) our interest rate hedges; and (xi) strategy for risk management.

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (i) a reduction in the demand for natural gas and oil; (ii) the loss of, or the deterioration of the financial condition of, any of our key customers; (iii) nonpayment and nonperformance by our customers, suppliers or vendors; (iv) competitive pressures that may cause us to lose market share; (v) the structure of our Contract Services contracts and the failure of our customers to continue to contract for services after expiration of the primary term; (vi) our ability to successfully integrate any acquired businesses, including CSI Compressco, and realize the expected benefits thereof; (vii) our ability to fund purchases of additional compression equipment; (viii) a deterioration in general economic, business, geopolitical or industry conditions, including as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war, inflation, and slow economic growth in the United States; (ix) a downturn in the economic environment, as well as continued inflationary pressures; (x) international operations and related mobilization and demobilization of compression units, operational interruptions, delays, upgrades, refurbishment and repair of compression assets and any related delays and costs overruns or reduced payment of contracted rates; (xi) tax legislation and administrative initiatives or challenges to our tax positions; (xii) the loss of key management, operational personnel or qualified technical personnel; (xiii) our dependence on a limited number of suppliers; (xiv) the cost of compliance with existing and new governmental regulations, including climate change legislation, and associated uncertainty given the new administration as a result of the outcome of the 2024 election cycle; (xv) changes in trade policies and regulations, including the potential for increases or changes in duties, current and potentially new tariffs or quotas, including the new and rapidly evolving tariffs enacted in February 2025; (xvi) the cost of compliance with regulatory initiatives and stakeholder pressures, including environmental, social and governance scrutiny; (xvii) the inherent risks associated with our operations, such as equipment defects and malfunctions; (xviii) our reliance on third-party components for use in our IT systems; (xix) legal and reputational risks and expenses relating to the privacy, use and security of employee and client information; (xx) threats of cyber-attacks or terrorism; (xxi) agreements that govern our debt contain features that may limit our ability to operate our business and fund future growth and also increase our exposure to risk during adverse economic conditions; (xxii) volatility and/or elevated interest rates and associated central bank policy actions; (xxiii) our ability to access the capital and credit markets or borrow on affordable terms (or at all) to obtain additional capital that we may require; (xxiv) major natural disasters, severe weather events or other similar events that could disrupt operations; (xxv) unionization of our labor force, labor interruptions and new or amended labor regulations; (xxvi) renewal of insurance; (xxvii) the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures; and (xxvii) such other factors as discussed throughout the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this news release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made.
