CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding:
Expected operating results, such as revenue growth and earnings, including upon the continued integration of CSI Compressco LP (“CSI Compressco) into our operations, and our ability to service our indebtedness;
Anticipated levels of capital expenditures and uses of capital;
Current or future volatility in the credit markets and future market conditions;
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;
Expectations of the effect on our financial condition of claims, litigation, environmental costs, contingent liabilities, and governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings;
Production and capacity forecasts for the natural gas and oil industry;
Strategy for customer retention, growth, fleet maintenance, market position and financial results;
Our interest rate hedges; and
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:
A reduction in the demand for natural gas and oil and/or a decrease in natural gas and oil prices;
The loss of, or the deterioration of the financial condition of, any of our key customers;
Nonpayment and nonperformance by our customers, suppliers or vendors;
Competitive pressures that may cause us to lose market share;
The structure of our contract services (“Contract Services”) contracts and the failure of our customers to continue to contract for services after expiration of the primary term;
Our ability to successfully integrate any acquired businesses, including CSI Compressco, and realize the expected benefits thereof in the expected timeframe or at all;
Our ability to fund purchases of additional compression equipment;
Our ability to successfully implement our share repurchase program;
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;
A downturn in the economic environment, as well as continued inflationary pressures;

The inherent risks associated with our operations, such as equipment defects and malfunctions;
Our reliance on third-party components for use in our information technology (“IT”) systems;

KODIAK GAS SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Description of Business
Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. (the “Company” or “Kodiak”) is an operator of contract compression infrastructure and related services primarily in the U.S. The Company operates compression units under fixed-revenue contracts with upstream and midstream customers.
Kodiak operates its business and the majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities under its subsidiary Kodiak Gas Services, LLC (“Kodiak Services”). Kodiak is the primary beneficiary of Kodiak Services, which is a variable interest entity, since the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Kodiak Services’ economic performance and the Company has the right (and obligation) to receive benefits (and absorb losses) of Kodiak Services that could be potentially significant to the Company.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kodiak and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendment requires the annual financial statements to include consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), which requires the disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant income statement captions and the total amount of selling expenses. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures.
3. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Merger with CSI Compressco
On April 1, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of CSI Compressco LP (“CSI Compressco”) (the “CSI Acquisition”). To complete the acquisition, we issued 6.8 million shares of common stock and 5.6 million of preferred shares for total consideration of $342.3 million.
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and the final allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date is as follows (in thousands):

Identifiable intangibles acquired include customer relationships and trade names with a fair value of $41.1 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Estimated useful lives are 15 and 5 years, respectively. The weighted average amortization period for identifiable intangible assets recognized is 13.2 years.
Acquisition-related costs of approximately $0.6 million and $7.9 million were incurred during the three months ending March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, primarily related to external legal fees, transaction consulting fees, due diligence costs, and employee retention incentives that were completed in March 2025. These costs have been recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited supplemental pro forma information has been prepared as though the CSI Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023. Pro forma amounts are based on the preliminary purchase price allocation of the acquisition and are not necessarily indicative of results that may be reported in the future. Non-recurring acquisition related costs including transaction costs, such as legal, accounting, valuation and other professional services as well as integration costs such as severance are included within the pro forma revenue and net income below.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Revenue$312,602 
Earnings$35,097 

Sale Leaseback
On March 26, 2025, we entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with an unrelated party involving two buildings in Midland and Monahans, Texas. Under the arrangement, the properties with a net book value of $8.2 million were sold for
7

Table of Contents

$5.9 million and leased back under a 15 month lease agreement. We received cash of $5.5 million, net of closing costs and other fees related to the sale of the property. The lease provides for annual base payments of $0.7 million and expires in June 2026. The transaction qualifies as a sale leaseback, and as a result, we recorded a $2.6 million net loss on sale that is recorded within loss on sale of assets in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, we established a $2.5 million right of use asset and operating lease liability.

ABL Facility
On March 22, 2023, Kodiak and Kodiak Services entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended or restated from time to

Table of Contents

time, the “ABL Credit Agreement” or “ABL Facility”), which mainly served to extend the maturity date from June 2024 to March 2028. On January 22, 2024, Kodiak entered into the Third Amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, amended certain provisions of the ABL Facility (i) to accommodate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (see Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures) {and (ii) to account for the Company’s organizational structure after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The total commitments under the ABL Facility are $2.2 billion. As of March 31, 2025, there were $2.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility. Lender fees and costs totaling $2.9 million were incurred related to the Third Amendment and will be amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense.
Pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement, the Company must comply with certain restrictive covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5x and a maximum Leverage Ratio (calculated based on the ratio of Total Indebtedness to EBITDA, each as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement), and beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a Secured Leverage Ratio (calculated based on the ratio of Senior Secured Debt to EBITDA). The maximum Leverage Ratio is 5.25 to 1.00. The maximum Secured Leverage Ratio is 3.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter.
The ABL Credit Agreement also restricts the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; pay certain dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem equity interests; prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; issue certain preferred units or similar equity securities; make loans and investments; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; incur liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into agreements restricting the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; enter into certain swap agreements; amend certain organizational documents; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
The ABL Facility is a “revolving credit facility” that includes a lockbox arrangement whereby, under certain events, remittances from customers are forwarded to a bank account controlled by the administrative agent and are applied to reduce borrowings under the facility. One such event occurs if availability under the ABL Credit Agreement falls below a specified threshold (i.e., $125 million for five (5) consecutive days until such time availability is greater than $125 million for twenty (20) consecutive days). As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, availability under the ABL Facility was in excess of the specified threshold, and, as such, the entire balance was classified as long-term in accordance with its maturity.
Interest is payable monthly. Depending on the loan type elected by the Company, interest accrues based on variable rates of SOFR plus an applicable rate ranging from 2% to 3% or prime rate plus an applicable rate ranging from 1% to 2% depending on the type of loan and the leverage ratio as of the most recently ended quarter. The weighted average interest rate on the ABL Facility as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was 6.78% and 6.80%, respectively, excluding the effect of interest rate swap. The Company pays an annualized commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of its ABL Facility if borrowings are greater than 50% of total commitments and 0.50% on the unused portion of the ABL Facility if borrowings are less than 50% of total commitments.
All obligations under the ABL Facility are collateralized by essentially all the assets of the Company. We were in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
2029 Senior Notes
On February 2, 2024, Kodiak Services issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”), pursuant to an indenture, by and among the Company and certain other subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Company’s 2029 Senior Notes are not subject to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund requirements. The 2029 Senior Notes are subject to redemption at a make-whole redemption price, inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest. This make-whole redemption price is determined as the higher of 100% of the principal amount of the notes or the present value of remaining principal and interest payments discounted semi-annually to the redemption date using the applicable treasury rate plus 0.50%. Before February 15, 2026, the Company has the option to redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes issued under this indenture, limited to the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Following February 15, 2026, the Company retains the right to redeem all or a portion of the 2029 Senior Notes, with redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount, along with accrued and unpaid interest.
The optional redemption percentages for the 2029 Senior Notes are as follows:

The 2029 Senior Notes indenture (the “Indenture”) contains certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, including Kodiak Services, to make distributions on, purchase or redeem the Company’s equity interests or repurchase or redeem contractually subordinated indebtedness; make certain investments; incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, issue any disqualified stock, or issue other preferred securities (other than non-economic preferred securities); create or incur certain liens to secure indebtedness; sell or otherwise dispose of assets; consolidate with or merge with or into another person; enter into transactions with affiliates; and create unrestricted subsidiaries. If the 2029 Senior Notes achieve an investment grade rating from any two of Moody’s Investor Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings, Inc. and no default under the Indenture exists, many of the foregoing covenants will terminate. The 2029 Senior Notes indenture also contains customary events of default.
Fees and costs totaling $13.4 million were incurred related to the 2029 Senior Notes and will be amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense.
The proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the ABL Facility and to pay related fees and expenses in connection with the 2029 Senior Notes offering. In connection with the close of the CSI Acquisition on April 1, 2024, the Company used proceeds from additional draws on the ABL Facility to repay, terminate and/or redeem all of CSI Compressco’s existing outstanding indebtedness, except for certain equipment financing obligations, and pay fees and expenses related to the notes offering and the CSI Acquisition.

Debt Issuance Costs
The total remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $40.1 million as of March 31, 2025 are being amortized over the respective terms of the ABL Facility and 2029 Senior Notes. Amortization expense related to these costs of $3.1 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, are included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Other Borrowings
Upon the completion of the CSI Acquisition, the Company has finance agreements with a third party in the amount of $11.4 million to finance certain compression equipment. The notes are payable in monthly installments totaling $0.7 million for 36 months from inception. As of March 31, 2025, remaining amounts due under the finance agreements totaled $3.8 million. This amount is classified in accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
10. Derivative Instruments
The Company has entered into an interest rate swap, exchanging variable interest rates for fixed interest rates. In prior periods, the Company entered into interest rate collars that fixed interest rates within a range through the simultaneous

Table of Contents

purchase of an interest rate cap and sale of an interest rate floor. Effective January 1, 2025, the Company designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge derivative instrument, evaluated hedge effectiveness and determined it to be highly effective. Changes in the fair value attributable to changes in interest rates for derivative contracts that have been designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period the hedged transaction impacts earnings and are presented within the same line item of the Statement of Operations as the hedged item. The Company accounts for the interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge, thus the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in AOCI and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective debt. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the statement of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships.
The table below summarizes the amortization schedule related to the interest rate swap, which matures on December 14, 2027:

11. Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, derivative instruments and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective Level 1 fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The Company’s ABL Facility applies floating interest rates to outstanding amounts; therefore, the carrying amount of the ABL Facility approximates its Level 3 fair value. The fair value of the 2029 Senior Notes is determined using Level 2 inputs, relying on quoted prices in less active markets.
The Company records derivative instruments at fair value using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The interest rate swap is valued using a discounted cash flow analysis based on available market data on the expected cash flows of each derivative using observable inputs, including interest rate curves and credit spreads. See Note 10. Derivative Instruments for more details.
The contingent consideration liability from a prior year acquisition is measured at fair value each reporting period, using Level 3 unobservable inputs (such as probability assessments of future cash flows), and changes in estimates of fair value are recognized in earnings.
The carrying amount and the estimated fair value for the assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands):

12. Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchases
In November 2024, the Kodiak’s board of directors (“Board”) approved a share repurchase program to buy up to an aggregate of $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”), which expires on December 31, 2025. During March 2025, the Company repurchased 270,000 shares of common stock through open-market purchases, pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program, at an average price including commission of $36.87 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, $25.0 million remains available for repurchase.
The above shares are currently held in treasury stock. Treasury stock purchases are accounted for under the cost method whereby the cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock. Gains and losses on the subsequent reissuance of shares are credited or charged to additional paid-in capital using the average-cost method.
Preferred Stock
Holders of the Company’s preferred stock are entitled to one vote for each share, voting proportionally with holders of common stock. The preferred stock lacks economic benefits beyond its par value of $0.01 per share (with a maximum value of $50,000), as it does not participate in earnings or cash dividends of Kodiak. Rather, it solely represents a voting share. Each preferred stock holds an equal number of OpCo Units, representing economic interests in Kodiak’s subsidiary, Kodiak Services. Each OpCo Unit is redeemable at the option of the holder for (i) one share of common stock (along with cancellation of a corresponding share of preferred stock) or (ii) cash at Kodiak Services’ election, following a 180 days post-closing lock-up and subject to certain conditions. On or after April 1, 2029, Kodiak shall have the right to effect redemption of such OpCo Units (along with corresponding share of preferred stock). The OpCo Units represent and will be accounted for as noncontrolling interests in Kodiak Services. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and year-ended December 31, 2024, a total of 0.1 million and 4.7 million, respectively, of preferred stock and OpCo Units were converted into an equivalent number of common stock shares.
2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan
On June 20, 2023, Kodiak’s Board authorized and adopted the Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) for employees, consultants and directors. The Omnibus Plan enables Kodiak’s Board (or a committee authorized by Kodiak’s Board) to award incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, cash awards and substitute awards intended to align the interests of service providers, including the Company’s named executive officers, with those of the Company’s stockholders. A total of 5.7 million shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the Omnibus Plan.
Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are time-based units that vest ratably over a three-year period, subject to continuous service through each vesting date. Stock-based compensation for RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Performance Stock Units
Performance stock units (“PSUs”) cliff vest at the end of a three-year performance period, with the ultimate number of shares earned and issued ranging from 0 - 190% of the number of shares subject to the PSU award based on the Company's achievement of certain predefined internal targets and the Company's performance relative to its peers as described in the underlying PSU agreement, subject to continuous service through the end of the performance period. With respect to each PSU, each PSU holder is granted associated dividend equivalents rights. In the event that the Company declares and pays a regular cash dividend, on the record date for such dividend, the Company will accrue a dividend equivalent based on the number of PSUs expected to vest. The fair value of the market condition within the PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model. Stock-based compensation for PSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the probable performance outcome. The Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance targets each reporting period and adjusts compensation expense accordingly.
CSI Compressco Long Term Incentive Plan

Table of Contents

In connection with the CSI Acquisition, we assumed the CSI Compressco LP Third Amended and Restated 2011 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”) and outstanding unvested RSU awards originally granted by CSI Compressco under the 2011 Plan that were held by former CSI Compressco employees continuing their employment with Kodiak post-acquisition. These assumed awards were converted into 145,302 RSU awards under the Omnibus Plan and will vest in accordance with their original terms, generally over 3 years. Awards cancelled or forfeited, and shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations, become available for future issuance.

16. Segments
The Company manages its business through two operating segments: Contract Services and Other Services. Contract Services consists of operating Company-owned compression, customer-owned compression, and gas treating and cooling infrastructure, pursuant to fixed-revenue contracts, to enable the production, gathering and transportation of natural gas and oil. Other Services consists of a full range of services to support ancillary needs of customers, including station construction, maintenance and overhaul, freight and crane charges, and other time and material-based offerings.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the adjusted gross margin of each segment, which consists of revenues directly attributable to the specific segment (less all costs of service directly attributable to the specific segment, which includes cost of operations and depreciation and amortization and excludes any impairment or gain (loss) on the depreciable assets). Depreciation and amortization for the Contract Services segment was $70.5 million and $46.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

17. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is computed by using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, including the dilutive effect of restricted stock units and performance stock units based on an average share price during the period. For the purpose of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, net income (loss) attributed to noncontrolling interest and the corresponding preferred shares outstanding are excluded from the calculations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, 15.0 thousand and 99.0 thousand, respectively, unvested RSUs and PSUs were excluded from the calculation of the potential dilutive common shares for the period because to do so would be anti-dilutive.
The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on, and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. For further information on items that could impact our future operating performance or financial condition, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Report. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the historical financial information in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” reflects only the historical financial results of Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and references to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” are to Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
We are a leading provider and operator of large horsepower contract compression infrastructure in the U.S. Our Contract Services and related services are critical to our customers’ ability to reliably produce, gather and transport natural gas and oil. We are a market leader in the Permian Basin, which is the largest producing natural gas and oil basin in the U.S. We operate our large horsepower compression units primarily under fixed-revenue contracts with many upstream and midstream customers. Our compression assets have long useful lives consistent with the expected production lives of the key regions where we operate. We believe our customer-centric business model positions us as the preferred contract compression operator for our customers and creates long-standing relationships. We strategically invest in the training, development and retention of our highly skilled and dedicated employees and believe their expertise and commitment to excellence enhances and differentiates our business model. Furthermore, we maintain an intense focus on being one of the most sustainable and responsible operators of contract compression infrastructure.
We manage our business through two operating segments: Contract Services and Other Services. Contract Services consists of operating Company-owned and customer-owned compression, and gas treating and cooling infrastructure, pursuant to fixed-revenue contracts to enable the production and gathering of natural gas and oil. Other Services consists of a broad range of contract services to support ancillary needs of our customers, including station construction, customer-owned compressor maintenance and overhaul, freight and crane charges and other time and material-based offerings. Our Other Services offerings are often cross-sold with Contract Services.
Recent Developments
U.S. Trade Policy and Recent Executive Orders
Recently announced changes and proposed changes to the U.S. global trade policy, along with potential international retaliatory measures, have resulted in volatility in global markets and uncertainty around short- and long-term economic impacts in the United States, including concerns over potential tariff impacts for the cost of goods, inflation, recession and slowing growth. Although these recent events did not materially impact our first quarter results and we do not expect any material impact on our 2025 results, we are continuing to actively monitor and evaluate the potential impacts of these measures, including the imposition of tariffs, on our business and operations, as well as opportunities to mitigate their related impacts. We remain cautious, as there are risks that increased tariffs could, among other things, create new trade barriers that disrupt supply chains, raise costs, and weaken consumer confidence; however, it is not currently possible to predict the impact, if any, of any changes or proposed changes to the U.S. global trade policy, or any international retaliatory measures, on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are also monitoring and evaluating the potential impact of various executive orders issued by the U.S. government, including the executive orders entitled “Reducing Anti-Competitive Regulatory Barriers” and “Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy,” on our business, including potential impacts to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Revenues and Sources of Income

Contract Services

Contract Services revenue increased $95.6 million, or 49.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This was primarily due to incremental revenues associated with the CSI Acquisition. The remainder of the increase in Contract Services is due to revenue-generating horsepower increases not attributable to the CSI acquisition and an increase of $2.3 million related to gas treating and cooling services.

Other Services

Other Services revenue increased $18.6 million, or 84.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to incremental revenues associated with the CSI Acquisition, increased parts sales, increased freight and crane charges related to mobilization of units, increased maintenance and overhaul services, increased other field services, and increased revenues from station construction services.

Operating Costs and Other Expenses

Contract Services

Contract Services expenses increased $27.4 million, or 41.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This was primarily due to a $27.9 million increase in direct labor expenses, a $3.5 million increase in parts used in support of our operations, a $3.1 million increase in lubricant oil and coolant, and a $0.7 million increase in gas treating expenses, much of which was attributable to the CSI Acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a $6.8 million decrease in indirect expenses, mainly relating to vehicle and facility expenses.

Other Services

Other Services expenses increased $17.5 million, or 99.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to costs associated with increased parts sales, increased freight and crane charges related to mobilization of units, increased maintenance and overhaul services, increased other field services, and increased station construction service expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $23.6 million, or 50.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in compression equipment and intangible assets acquired in connection with the CSI Acquisition.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.4 million, or 29.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was due to a $6.6 million increase in labor and benefits, a $4.1 million increase in equity compensation expense related to equity compensation plans, and a $1.6 million increase in software expense, mainly related to the termination of an agreement as part of the CSI Acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a $4.6 million decrease in professional fees, primarily related to transactions costs associated with the CSI Acquisition, and a $0.2 million decrease in other selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Loss on Sale of Assets

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction and recognized a $2.6 million net loss on the sale. Additionally, we recognized a loss of $6.6 million related to the sale and write-off of certain scrapped assets.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased $7.5 million, or 18.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to increased interest expense associated with higher outstanding borrowings on the ABL Facility in the current quarter as compared to the comparable quarter in the prior year as well as incremental interest expense attributed to a full quarter of borrowings on the 2029 Senior Notes, which were issued in February 2024. This increase in interest expense was partially offset by settlements received from interest rate swaps, which are recognized in the same financial statement line item as the underlying hedged debt, thereby reducing the net impact on reported interest expense.

Gain on Derivatives

Gain on derivatives decreased $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was attributed to the designation of the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge as of January 1, 2025. As a result, all changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are now recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings within interest expense. The net gain on derivatives recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to a $14.3 million increase in the fair value of derivatives and an increase in cash received on derivatives of $5.5 million due to the increase in the long-term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) yield curve.

Table of Contents


Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased by $0.6 million, or 6.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income of $1.5 million and inclusion of international operations acquired in connection with the CSI Acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our ability to fund operations, finance capital expenditures, service our debt and pay dividends depends on our operating cash flows and access to the capital and credit markets. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from our operations and our borrowing availability under the ABL Facility. Our cash flow is affected by numerous factors, including prices and demand for our compression infrastructure assets and services, conditions in the financial markets and various other factors. We believe cash generated by operating activities will be sufficient to service our debt, fund working capital, fund our estimated capital expenditures in the short-term and long-term and, as our Board may determine from time to time in its discretion, pay dividends. At March 31, 2025, we had approximately $321.2 million of liquidity consisting of $2.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $319.3 million available under the ABL Facility.

Cash Requirements

Capital Expenditures

The compression infrastructure business is capital intensive, requiring significant investment to expand, maintain and upgrade existing operations. Our capital requirements have consisted primarily of, and we anticipate that our capital requirements will continue to consist primarily of, the following:
Growth Capital Expenditures: capital expenditures made to (1) expand the operating capacity or operating income capacity of assets including, but not limited to, the acquisition of additional compression units, upgrades to existing equipment, expansion of supporting infrastructure, and implementation of new technologies, (2) maintain the operating capacity or operating income capacity of assets by acquisition of replacement compression units and their supporting infrastructure, and (3) expand the operating capacity or operating income capacity of existing assets.

Other Capital Expenditures: capital expenditures made on assets required to support our operations—such as rolling stock, leasehold improvements, technology hardware and software and related implementation expenditures, safety enhancements to equipment, and other general items that are typically capitalized and that have a useful life beyond one year.

Maintenance Capital Expenditures: periodic capital expenditures incurred at predetermined operating intervals to maintain consistent and reliable operating capacity of our assets over the near term. Such maintenance capital expenditures typically involve overhauls of significant components of our compression units, such as the engine and compressor, pistons, rings, heads, and bearings. These maintenance capital expenditures are predictable and the majority of these expenditures are tied to a detailed, unit-by-unit schedule based on hours of operation or age. We utilize a disciplined and systematic asset management program whereby we perform major unit overhauls and engine replacements on a defined schedule based on hours of operation. As a result, our maintenance capital expenditures may vary considerably from year to year based on when such assets were added to the fleet. Maintenance capital expenditures along with regularly scheduled preventive maintenance expenses are typically sufficient to sustain the operating capacity of our assets over the full expected useful life of the compression units. Maintenance capital expenditures do not include expenditures to replace compression units when they reach the end of their useful lives.

The majority of our growth capital expenditures are related to the acquisition cost of new compression units. Maintenance capital expenditures are related to overhauls of significant components of our compression equipment, such as the engine

and compressor, which return the components to a like-new condition without modifying the application for which the compression equipment was designed.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, growth capital expenditures were $56.0 million, other capital expenditures were $22.3 million, and maintenance capital expenditures were $16.4 million. This compares to growth capital expenditures of $52.2 million, other capital expenditures of $7.2 million, and maintenance capital expenditures of $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in growth capital expenditures was primarily related to the timing of compression unit purchases necessary to support operating capacity demand. The increase in other capital expenditures was primarily related to safety upgrades related to compression purchased in the CSI Acquisition and the ongoing implementation of new business system. The increase in maintenance capital expenditures was primarily due to maintenance capital expenditures on the assets acquired in the CSI Acquisition and an increase in unit overhauls scheduled based on the age and operating hours of such units.

Dividends

Our Board of Directors (“Board”) may elect to declare cash dividends on our common stock, subject to our compliance with applicable law, and depending on, among other things, economic conditions, our financial condition, results of operations, projections, liquidity, earnings, legal requirements and restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness (as further discussed herein).

On April 23, 2025, our Board declared a cash dividend of $0.45 per share for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025, which is payable on May 15, 2025, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 5, 2025 (the “Common Stock Dividend”) and, in conjunction with the Common Stock Dividend, Kodiak Services declared a distribution on its units of $0.45 per unit payable on May 15, 2025 to all unitholders of record of Kodiak Services as of the close of business on May 5, 2025. The declaration and payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on future business conditions, financial conditions, results of operations and other factors.

Over the long-term, we expect to fund any dividends and our budgeted growth capital expenditures using our Discretionary Cash Flow. In the event our Discretionary Cash Flow is insufficient for the purpose of funding any such dividends and our budgeted growth capital expenditures for such period, we may fund such shortfall (i) with additional borrowings under our ABL Facility, which, as of March 31, 2025, had $319.3 million available (subject to the requirement that our availability, in the case of dividends, under the ABL Facility (calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Specified Transaction) is not less than $125,000,000) or (ii) reduce our growth capital expenditures for such period. Any such additional borrowings under our ABL Facility will result in an increase in our interest expense for such period. Any such reduction in our growth capital expenditures may result in lower growth in our revenue-generating horsepower in future periods.

Contractual Obligations

Our material contractual obligations as of March 31, 2025, consisted of the following:

Long-term debt of $2.6 billion, of which $1.9 billion is due in 2028 and $750.0 million is due in 2029.

Purchase commitments of $127.4 million, of which all is expected to be settled within the next twelve months; primarily consisting of future commitments to purchase new compression units that have been ordered but not yet received. See Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Other Commitments

As of March 31, 2025, other commitments include future operating and finance lease payments totaling $84.8 million.

Operating Activities

The $62.8 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily due to a $29.0 million increase in income from operations and a $38.0 million increase in non-cash operating expenses, namely depreciation and amortization, taxes and equity compensation. Additionally, cash provided by operating activities was impacted by a $7.0 million increase in interest expense, net of debt issuance cost amortization. Changes in working capital items used cash of $18.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $24.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Investing Activities

The $8.0 million increase in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily due to a $17.4 million increase in cash used for capital expenditures, net of accrued capital expenditures, partially offset by a $9.4 million increase in cash provided by proceeds on sale of assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $61.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Cash used for financing activities of $49.0 million in three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily the result of $36.4 million of dividends paid to stockholders, $10.0 million of share repurchases, $2.8 million of cash paid for shares withheld to cover taxes, $2.0 million of cash paid on principal payments of other borrowings, $0.7 million of cash paid on principal payments of finance leases, and $0.4 million of distributions to noncontrolling interest. This was partially offset by net cash provided by borrowings of $3.3 million.

Cash provided by financing activities of $12.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily the result of $50.5 million of net cash provided by borrowings. This was offset by $29.8 million of dividends paid to stockholders, $7.6 million of payments of debt issuance costs, $0.4 million of offering costs, and $0.3 million of cash paid for shares withheld to cover taxes.

Description of Indebtedness

ABL Facility

On March 22, 2023, Kodiak and Kodiak Services entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended or restated from time to time, the “ABL Credit Agreement” or “ABL Facility”), which mainly served to extend the maturity date from June 2024 to March 2028. On January 22, 2024, Kodiak entered into the Third Amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, amended certain provisions of the ABL Facility (i) to accommodate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (see Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures) and (ii) to account for the Company’s organizational structure after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The total commitments under the facility are $2.2 billion. As of March 31, 2025, there were $2.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility. Fees and costs totaling $2.9 million were incurred related to the Third Amendment and will be amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense. See Note 9.

Table of Contents

Debt and Credit Facilities to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for further description.

Pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement, the Company must comply with certain restrictive covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5x and a maximum Leverage Ratio (calculated based on the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement). The maximum Leverage Ratio is 5.25 to 1.00. All loan amounts are collateralized by essentially all the assets of the Company.

The applicable interest rate under the ABL Facility is (i) in the case of SOFR-based borrowings, the Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR rate then in effect (subject to a floor of 0%) plus 0.10% plus a spread that depends on our Leverage Ratio as of the most recent determination date, ranging from 2.00% if our Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00:1.00 to 3.00% if our Leverage Ratio is greater than 5.50:1.00 and (ii) in the case of prime rate-based borrowings, the prime rate (subject to a floor of 2.5%) plus a spread that depends on our Leverage Ratio as of the most recent determination date, ranging from 1.00% if our Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00:1.00 to 2.00% if our Leverage Ratio is greater than 5.50:1.00.

The ABL Credit Agreement also restricts the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; pay certain dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem equity interests; prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; issue certain preferred units or similar equity securities; make loans and investments; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; incur liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into agreements restricting the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; enter into certain swap agreements; amend certain organizational documents; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The ABL Facility is a “revolving credit facility” that includes a lockbox arrangement whereby, under certain events, remittances from customers are forwarded to a bank account controlled by the administrative agent and are applied to reduce borrowings under the facility. One such event occurs if availability under the ABL Credit Agreement falls below a specified threshold (i.e., the greater of $200 million or 10% of the aggregate commitments at the time of measurement). As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, availability under the ABL Facility was in excess of the specified threshold, and, as such, the entire balance was classified as long term in accordance with its maturity.

The weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was 6.78% and 6.80%, respectively, excluding the effect of our interest rate swap. The Company pays an annualized commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of its ABL Facility if borrowings are greater than 50% of total commitments and 0.50% on the unused portion of the ABL Facility if borrowings are less than 50% of total commitments.

All obligations under the ABL Facility are collateralized by essentially all the assets of the Company. We were in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

2029 Senior Notes

On February 2, 2024, Kodiak Services issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of Kodiak Services’ 7.25% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”), pursuant to an indenture, dated February 2, 2024, by and among the Company, and certain other subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee.
The proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the ABL Facility and to pay related fees and expenses in connection with the notes offering. In connection with the close of the CSI Acquisition on April 1, 2024, the Company used proceeds from additional draws on the ABL Facility to repay $651.8 million of existing outstanding indebtedness, except for certain equipment financing obligations, and pay fees and expenses related to the notes offering and the CSI Acquisition.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

To mitigate a portion of the exposure to fluctuations in the variable interest rate of the ABL Facility, we have entered into an interest rate swap.

Our interest rate swap exchanges variable interest rates for fixed interest rates. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge, evaluated hedge effectiveness and determined it to be highly effective. See Note 10. Derivative Instruments to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin percentage, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA percentage, discretionary cash flow and free cash flow.
Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage
Adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We define adjusted gross margin as revenue less cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. We define adjusted gross margin percentage as adjusted gross margin divided by total revenues. We believe that adjusted gross margin is useful as a supplemental measure of our operating profitability. Adjusted gross margin is impacted primarily by the pricing trends for service operations and cost of operations, including labor rates for service technicians, volume and per compression unit costs for lubricant oils and coolants, quantity and pricing of routine preventative maintenance on compression units and property tax rates on compression units. Adjusted gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, gross margin or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, adjusted gross margin as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Because we capitalize assets, depreciation and amortization of equipment is a necessary element of our costs. To compensate for the limitations of adjusted gross margin as a measure of our performance, we believe that it is important to consider gross margin determined under GAAP, as well as adjusted gross margin, to evaluate our operating profitability.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA percentage are considered non-GAAP measures. We define adjusted EBITDA 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. We define adjusted EBITDA percentage 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:
the financial performance of our assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of our assets;
the viability of capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities;
the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to make debt payments and pay dividends; and
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 that 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.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA percentage should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, revenues, net income (loss), operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance and liquidity. Moreover, our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA percentage as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Given we are a capital-intensive business, depreciation, impairment of compression equipment and the interest cost of acquiring compression equipment are necessary elements of our costs. To compensate for these items, we believe that it is important to consider both net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities determined under GAAP, as well as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA percentage, to evaluate our financial performance and our liquidity. Our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA percentage exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, and these measures may vary among companies. Management compensates for the limitations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA percentage as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating this knowledge into management’s decision-making processes.

Discretionary Cash Flow
Discretionary cash flow is considered a non-GAAP measure. We define discretionary cash flow 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. Our ability to pay dividends is subject to limitations due to restrictions contained in our ABL Credit Agreement, as further described elsewhere herein. Discretionary cash flow is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, such as revenues, net income (loss), operating income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities. Discretionary cash flow as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow 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. Free cash flow is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, such as revenues, net income (loss), operating income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities. Free cash flow as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see “Part II – Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Our primary exposure to interest rate risk results from outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility, which has a floating interest rate component. We use interest rate derivative instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in these variable interest rate components.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $1.9 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, outstanding under the ABL Facility and $1.4 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, outstanding and effective notional amounts of floating to fixed interest rate swap, which we attribute to our borrowings under our ABL Facility. Excluding the effect of interest rate swap, the average annualized interest rate incurred on the ABL Facility for borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2025, was approximately 6.78%. We estimate that a 1.0% increase in the applicable average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, would have resulted in an estimated $4.8 million increase in ABL-related interest expense.
Counterparty Risk
Our credit exposure generally relates to receivables for services provided, delays on services paid and a counterparty’s failure to meet its obligations under a derivatives contract with the Company. If any significant customer or derivative counterparty of ours should have credit or financial problems resulting in a delay or failure to pay the amount due, it could
32

Table of Contents

have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, if any significant vendor of ours should have financial problems or operational delays, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company uses credit and other financial criteria to evaluate the credit standing of, and to select, customers, vendors and counterparties to its derivative instruments. Although the Company does not obtain collateral or otherwise secure the fair value of its derivative instruments, associated credit risk is mitigated by the Company’s risk management policies and procedures.
Concentration Risk
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and year ended three months ended March 31, 2024, our four largest customers accounted for approximately 31% and 38%, respectively, of our recurring revenues, with no single customer accounting for more than 14% for either ending period. If any significant customer of ours should discontinue their relationship with us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Commodity Price Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We do not take title to any natural gas or oil in connection with our services and, accordingly, have no direct exposure to fluctuating commodity prices. However, the demand for our Contract Services depends upon the continued demand for, and production of, natural gas and oil. Sustained low natural gas or oil prices over the long term could result in a decline in the production of natural gas or oil, which could result in reduced demand for our Contract Services.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2025, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as amended. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
