KLX INC. REPORTS STRONG SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS;
CONFIRMS SEPTEMBER 14TH SPIN-OFF DATE FOR KLX ENERGY SERVICES (“KLXE”); SEPARATELY ANNOUNCES KLXE SPIN-OFF TRADING INFORMATION

WELLINGTON, FL, August 28, 2018 — KLX Inc. (“KLX” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: KLXI), a leading distributor and value added service provider of aerospace fasteners and consumables, and a provider of services and products to the oil and gas exploration and production industry, today reported its second fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2018 financial results.

On a GAAP basis, for the three-month period ended July 31, 2018, as compared to the same period of the prior year, revenues increased 22.4 percent to $527.2 million, while operating earnings increased 22.4 percent to $64.0 million. GAAP net earnings of $34.8 million and net earnings per diluted share of $0.68, increased 68.1 percent and 70.0 percent, respectively, as compared to the three-month period ended July 31, 2017. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company incurred approximately $23.1 million of one-time costs associated with the pending sale of its Aerospace Solutions Group (“ASG”) business to The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), the spin-off of its Energy Services Group (“ESG”) business to shareholders and the transition to ASG’s new global distribution and operations center. The costs associated with the pending sale of its ASG business to The Boeing Company, the spin-off of its ESG business to shareholders and transition to the new ASG facility are collectively referred to as “Costs as Defined.”

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

· Consolidated revenue growth of 22.4 percent to $527.2 million

· Consolidated Adjusted operating earnings of $87.1 million increased 66.5 percent(1)

· Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per diluted share were $66.6 million and $1.31 per diluted share, respectively, representing increases of 76.2 percent and 79.5 percent, respectively(1)

(1) Excludes approximately $23.1 million of Costs as Defined.

We have presented Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per diluted share to reflect net earnings before Costs as Defined and amortization and non-cash compensation expense, and to include the tax benefit from the amortization of tax-deductible goodwill (“Adjusted Net Earnings” and “Adjusted Net Earnings per diluted share”). This release includes “Adjusted operating earnings” and “free cash flow,” which exclude Costs as Defined. This release also includes “Adjusted EBITDA,” which excludes Costs as Defined and non-cash compensation expense, and “ESG Adjusted EBITDA,” which excludes costs related to the spin-off of ESG and non-cash compensation expense. Each of the aforementioned metrics are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

SECOND QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

On a consolidated basis, revenues increased 22.4 percent to $527.2 million, driven by an approximate 14.6 percent increase in ASG revenues and an approximate 60.4 percent increase in ESG revenues. Adjusted operating earnings and Adjusted operating margin were $87.1 million and 16.5 percent, respectively. Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings per diluted share increased 76.2 percent and 79.5 percent, to $66.6 million and $1.31 per diluted share, respectively.

Amin J. Khoury, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of KLX commented, “We are pleased to report strong second quarter financial results for both our ASG and ESG businesses. Our ASG segment delivered record quarterly revenues, driven by double-digit percentage increases in sales to support both commercial aerospace manufacturing customers and to support aftermarket customers. In addition, ASG reported a major customer competitive win and significant market share gain during the second quarter.”

Mr. Khoury continued, “Our ESG segment generated approximately 60 percent year-over-year organic revenue growth and an over 1,700 basis point improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margin, driven by strong growth in demand for our intervention and completion services, particularly our higher margin proprietary product services lines (“PSLs”). In addition, revenues continue to increase at a faster rate than fixed costs due to the efficient organizational structure we have developed, as a result of the complete integration of the acquired businesses.”

SECOND QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

As a result of the pending merger of the ASG business with The Boeing Company, the Company will no longer be providing segment level ASG results or guidance (other then what is reported in the Company’s 10-Q filing).

For the three months ended July 31, 2018, as compared to the same period of the prior year, ESG revenues of $117.9 million reflected revenue growth of approximately 60.4 percent, driven by strong growth in demand for intervention and completion services, particularly higher margin proprietary PSLs, including frac stacks, proprietary fishing tools and proprietary down hole production PSLs. ESG revenues are increasing at a faster rate than fixed costs due to the complete integration and reorganization of the seven private oilfield service companies acquired over the 2013 through 2014 time period, which is resulting in substantial margin expansion. GAAP operating earnings of $12.2 million, included $1.9 million of costs related to the spin-off of the ESG business. Exclusive of the aforementioned costs, ESG’s Adjusted operating earnings increased $21.9 million to $14.1 million in the second quarter, while Adjusted EBITDA was $26.2 million, or 22.2 percent of revenues. As compared to the first quarter of 2018, revenues increased by 6.2 percent, Adjusted operating earnings improved by 36.9 percent and Adjusted EBITDA improved by 19.1 percent. ESG cash provided by operations, exclusive of spin-off related costs, was $25.6 million and capital expenditures were approximately $18.2 million. ESG free cash flow, adjusted to exclude costs related to the spin-off of the ESG business was $7.4 million, or 6.3 percent of revenues.

PENDING BOEING TRANSACTION AND ESG SPIN-OFF UPDATE

A special meeting of stockholders to vote on the merger was held on August 24, 2018 at the Boston Harbor Hotel, Boston, Massachusetts at 10:30 AM (Eastern time), wherein the merger of KLX Inc into The Boeing Company was approved by shareholders of KLX Inc.

On August 24th, the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘SEC”) declared the KLX Energy Services Form 10 registration statement effective. As previously reported, the distribution of the KLXE shares will occur on September 14, 2018.

Beginning on Wednesday, August 29, 2018, there will be a when-issued market for KLX Energy Services common stock under the ticker symbol “KLXEV.” The when-issued market will continue until regular-way trading in KLX Energy Services common stock begins under the ticker symbol “KLXE” on September 17, 2018, the first trading day after the distribution date.

GUIDANCE/OUTLOOK

As a result of the pending sale of ASG to Boeing, the Company will no longer be providing ASG segment level guidance.

ESG’s Fiscal 2018 outlook excludes costs related to the spin-off of ESG, as well as a charge for the acceleration of the vesting of restricted stock grants, which will result from the closing of the sale of KLX to Boeing.

On December 6, 2017, the date on which the Company released its third quarter 2017 earnings results, the Company provided full year 2018 revenue guidance for ESG, with revenues expected to increase approximately 40 percent to $450 million.

On March 6, 2018, the date on which the Company released its fourth quarter 2017 earnings results, the Company forecasted ESG revenues to increase approximately 44 percent to approximately $450 - $475 million.

On May 21, 2018, the date on which the Company released its first quarter 2018 earnings results, the Company raised ESG guidance for a second time, forecasting revenues to increase

approximately 50 percent to approximately $500 million, and Adjusted EBITDA to increase more than 300 percent to approximately $110 million.

Mr. Khoury commented, “Today, we are confirming our 2018 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for KLX Energy Services of approximately $500 million and approximately $110 million, respectively.”

Mr. Khoury concluded, “Consistent with the Company’s prior practice, on or about the time we release our third quarter results, we expect to provide 2019 KLX Energy Services financial guidance, including revenues, operating earnings, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Net Earnings per diluted share, free cash flow and return on invested capital.”

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This release includes “Adjusted Net Earnings” and “Adjusted Net Earnings per diluted share” to reflect net earnings before Costs as Defined, amortization, non-cash compensation expense, and to include the tax benefit from the amortization of tax-deductible goodwill. This release includes “Adjusted operating earnings” and “free cash flow,” which excludes Costs as Defined. This release also includes “ESG Adjusted operating earnings,” which excludes costs related to the spin-off of ESG. This release also includes “Adjusted EBITDA,” which excludes Costs as Defined and non-cash compensation expense, and “ESG Adjusted EBITDA,” which excludes costs related to the spin-off of ESG and non-cash compensation expense. Each of the aforementioned metrics are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The Company uses the above described adjusted measures to evaluate and assess the operational strength and performance of the business and of particular segments of the business. The Company believes these financial measures are relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to have a better understanding of the Company’s actual operating performance unaffected by the impact of the Costs as Defined. These financial measures should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, operating earnings, net earnings or net cash flows provided by operating activities (each as defined under GAAP), the most directly comparable GAAP measures, as a measure of the Company’s operating performance.

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G of the Exchange Act, we are providing the following tables that reconcile the above mentioned non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures:
