MONTGOMERY, Texas, Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 June 30, 2023 and provided full-year 2023 guidance.

Second-Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Total revenues were $203.3 million, an increase of 14.8% compared to $177.2 million in the second quarter of 2022
  • Net income was $17.5 million, compared to net income of $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2022
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $107.9 million, an increase of 11.3% compared to $96.9 million in the second quarter of 2022; Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $214.2 million
  • Horsepower utilization ended the second quarter of 2023 at 99.9%
  • Establishes full-year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $425 to $440 million
  • Guidance includes an estimated quarterly dividend of $0.35 to $0.40 per share, payable subject to the board of directors' approval beginning in the fourth quarter
  • Completed initial public offering (IPO) of 16 million shares for net proceeds of $231.4 million (received July 3, 2023)
  • Underwriters fully exercised their overallotment option in July 2023, resulting in the issuance and sale of an additional 2.4 million shares for net proceeds of $36.2 million

Mickey McKee, Kodiak's founder and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are proud to report strong second quarter financial results, including record quarterly revenues and adjusted EBITDA, driven by continued high demand for our contract compression and other services. Growing global demand for the reliable and secure flow of natural gas and oil directly benefits our compression fleet that is strategically deployed in the lowest-cost-to-produce basins in the U.S. with access to the growing LNG export infrastructure along the Gulf Coast. The Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale, where 84% of our fleet is located, require significant amounts of large horsepower compression infrastructure, and we are well positioned in these markets for future growth.

"We exited the second quarter with 99.9% utilization and our planned 2023 horsepower additions are fully contracted at rates that we expect to provide us with attractive returns on capital. With lead times on new equipment orders extending to a year or more, we continue to sign contracts with customers on 2024 deliveries.

"Additionally, Kodiak achieved an important milestone in our history with the completion of our IPO and listing on the New York Stock Exchange. We have a dedicated and loyal workforce who continues to deliver industry-leading mechanical availability, and each member of that workforce is now a stockholder of Kodiak."

McKee added, "The demand for large horsepower compression continues to grow, and tightening supplies of equipment and capital discipline within our industry have created an attractive pricing environment and compelling returns on new equipment. We view the broader energy market as highly supportive right now, with a multi-decade runway for conventional energy, which we believe will drive demand for more compression. Our strategy is to continue to provide compression services safely and sustainably in the best basins with the best customers while generating steady growth in cash flows and attractive returns for our investors. We are bullish about continued growth for our industry and our Company."

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP Financial Measure. A definition and reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is 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, 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.

(2)

Discretionary Cash Flow includes a non-recurring $25.8 million realized gain on derivatives and assumes no change to Secured Overnight Financing Rate futures.

Assumes one dividend is paid in 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, net plus, (i) tax expense (benefit); (ii) depreciation and amortization; (iii) unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives; (iv) equity compensation expense; (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 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 to investors 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 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 maintenance capital expenditures, transaction expenses, certain changes in operating assets and liabilities and certain other expenses. We believe Discretionary Cash Flow is a useful liquidity and performance measure and supplemental financial measure for us and our investors 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 and net cash provided by operating activities are presented below.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance and growth capital expenditures, transaction expenses, certain changes in operating assets and liabilities and certain other expenses. We believe Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure and useful supplemental financial measure for us and investors 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 and net cash provided by operating activities are presented below.
