Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Notes Offering

On March 11, 2026, Kodiak issued a press release announcing the commencement of a private offering (the “Notes Offering”) by its subsidiary Kodiak Gas Services, LLC (the “Issuer”) of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of its senior unsecured notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The Notes are being offered only to persons who are either reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” under Rule 144A or who are non-“U.S. persons” under Regulation S as defined under applicable securities laws.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the offering (together with cash and amounts available under the Issuer’s revolving asset-based loan credit facility (the “ABL Facility”)) to redeem all the Issuer’s outstanding 7.25% Senior Notes due 2029 at a redemption price equal to 103.625% of the $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Issuer expects to use amounts available under the ABL Facility to fund the Acquisition. The Notes Offering is not conditioned on the consummation of the Acquisition, which, if consummated, will occur subsequent to the closing of the Notes Offering. This Current Report does not constitute a notice of repayment of any outstanding indebtedness of Kodiak or its subsidiaries.

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated in this Item 8.01 by reference.

Neither this Current Report nor the press release constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the Notes and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

By reference to this Current Report, Kodiak has incorporated by reference into an offering memorandum for the Notes Offering (i) the audited financial statements of DPS as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and (ii) the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, giving effect to the Acquisition. The pro forma financial statements are being provided for purposes of the Notes Offering but do not give effect to the Notes Offering.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report contains “forward-looking statements” and information based on the current beliefs of the Company. Forward-looking statements in this communication are identifiable by the use of the following words, the negative of such words, and other similar words: “anticipates”, “assumes”, “believes”, “could”, “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “goal,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “targets,” “will” and “would.” Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements in this communication include, but are not limited to: (i) the completion of the Acquisition on anticipated terms and timing, or at all, including obtaining regulatory approvals that may be required on anticipated terms; (ii) the anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the combined company’s operations and other conditions to the completion of the Acquisition, including the possibility that any of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period; (iii) the ability of the Company to integrate its business with DPS’s business successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies and value creation; (iv) the risk that disruptions from the Acquisition will harm the Company’s business, including current plans and operations and that management’s time and attention will be diverted on transaction-related issues; (v) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships, including with employees, suppliers, customers, competitors or credit rating agencies, resulting from the announcement or completion of the Acquisition; (vi) potential business uncertainty, including the outcome of commercial negotiations and changes to existing business relationships during the pendency of the Acquisition that could affect the Company’s financial performance and operating results; (vii) certain restrictions during the pendency of the Acquisition that may impact the Company’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions or otherwise operate its business; (viii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments, changes in local, national, or international laws, regulations, and policies affecting the Company; (ix) dilution caused by the Company’s issuance of additional shares of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition; (x) the possibility that the transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; (xi) the Company’s ability to employ a sufficient number of skilled and qualified workers to combat the operating hazards inherent in the Company’s industry; (xii) changes in the distributed power industry, including sustained decreases in the supply of power generators, demand for electricity and distributed power; (xiii) the competitive nature of distributed power services industry in which the DPS and the Company will conduct its business; (xiv) the impact of adverse weather conditions; (xv) the level of, and obligations associated with, the Company’s indebtedness; (xvi) acts of terrorism or outbreak of war, hostilities, civil unrest, attacks against the Company, and other political or security disturbances; (xvii) the impacts of pandemics or other public health crises, including the effects of government responses on people and economies; and (xviii) other risk factors and additional information.

The Company believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience and present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed throughout the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is available on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website at https://ir.kodiakgas.com// and on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov.
