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 the integration of acquired businesses and assets 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;

•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;

•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;

•Our ability to successfully integrate any acquired businesses, including DPS, and realize the expected benefits thereof in the expected timeframe or at all;

•Our ability to source and fund purchases of additional compression and power generation equipment;

•Changes in the distributed power industry, including any decreases in the demand for electricity and distributed power;

•A deterioration in general economic, business, geopolitical or industry conditions, including as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict and potential regime change in Iran as well as other hostilities in the Middle East and developments between the United States and Venezuela, inflation, and slow economic growth in the United States;

•A downturn in the economic environment, as well as continued inflationary pressures;

Table of Contents

•The outcome of any pending internal review or any future related government enforcement actions;

•Tax legislation and the impact of changes to applicable tax laws, including the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and administrative initiatives or challenges to our tax positions;

•The loss of key management, operational personnel or qualified technical personnel;

•Our dependence on a limited number of suppliers;

•The cost of compliance with existing and new governmental regulations, as well as the associated uncertainty given the current U.S. federal government administration;

•Changes in trade policies and regulations, including increases or changes in duties, current and potentially new tariffs or quotas and other similar measures, as well as the potential direct and indirect impact of retaliatory tariffs and other actions;

•The cost of compliance with regulatory initiatives and stakeholders’ pressures, including sustainability and corporate responsibility;

•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;

•Legal and reputational risks and expenses relating to the privacy, use and security of employee and client information;

•Threats of cyber attacks or terrorism;

•Agreements that govern our debt contain features that may limit our ability to operate our business and fund future growth and also increase our exposure to risk during adverse economic conditions;

•Volatile and/or elevated interest rates and associated central bank policy actions;

•Our ability to access the capital and credit markets or borrow on affordable terms (or at all) to obtain additional capital that we may require;

•Major natural disasters, severe weather events or other similar events that could disrupt operations;

•Unionization of our labor force, labor interruptions and new or amended labor regulations;

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 primarily 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, 2025. 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 November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE) and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01,Clarifying the Effective Date. These updates require 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.

ABL Facility

On April 2, 2026, Kodiak and Kodiak Services entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Fifth Amendment”) 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 amends the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 22, 2023. The Fifth Amendment, among other things, modifies the calculation of the leverage ratio. Through June 30, 2026, the Fifth Amendment allows Kodiak Services to deduct from its total indebtedness the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 Senior Notes, in addition to the existing $50,000,000 cash netting cap, so long as such proceeds remain as unrestricted cash or cash equivalents.

The ABL Facility is a revolving credit arrangement with a lockbox feature, where customer payments may be sent to a bank account managed by the agent and used to pay down borrowings if availability drops below $100 million for five consecutive business days. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, availability exceeded this threshold, so the balance was classified as long-term in accordance with its maturity.

Interest on the outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility is payable monthly and accrues based on variable rates of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% or prime rate plus an applicable rate ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% depending on the leverage ratio as of the most recently ended quarter. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on the ABL Facility was 5.67% and 5.72%, respectively, excluding the effect of the interest rate swap. The Company pays an annualized commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of its ABL Facility.

The ABL Facility provides for commitments totaling $2.0 billion and a maturity date of September 5, 2030. As of March 31, 2026, $1.4 million in letters of credit were outstanding. As of March 31, 2026, borrowings under our ABL Facility totaled $449.9 million.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants under the ABL Facility. All obligations under the ABL Facility are collateralized by essentially all the assets of the Company.

Redemption of 2029 Senior Notes

The Defeasance required a cash outlay of $785.5 million, which was irrevocably deposited with the trustee to fund interest payments on the 2029 Senior Notes through April 10, 2026, when the 2029 Senior Notes were redeemed at a premium, as well as fund the redemption of the 2029 Senior Notes in full. As a result of the Defeasance, the Company recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $36.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which represents the early redemption premium of $27.2 million, the write-off of deferred financing costs of $7.8 million, and accrued interest of $1.5 million.

2031 Senior Notes

On March 20, 2026, Kodiak Services issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2031 (the “2031 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the 2031 Senior Notes were used by the Company to redeem all of Kodiak Services’ outstanding 7.25% Senior Notes due 2029 at a redemption price equal to 103.625% of the $750.0 million aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The 2031 Senior Notes are redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, prior to April 1, 2028, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus a “make-whole” premium and any accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. This make-whole premium is determined as the excess, if any, of the present value at such time of the redemption plus any required interest payments through April 1, 2028, discounted semi-annually to the redemption date using the applicable treasury rate plus 0.50% over the principal amount of the 2031 Senior Notes. Prior to April 1, 2028, the Company may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Senior Notes using an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 105.875% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date, provided that at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount remains outstanding following such redemption and the redemption occurs within 180 days following the equity offering’s closing.

On or after April 1, 2028, Kodiak Services may, on one or more occasions, redeem any or all of the 2031 Senior Notes at the redemption prices set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date, beginning on April 1 of the specified years indicated below.


						Percentage of Principal Amount
2028						102.938%
2029						101.469%
2030 and thereafter						100.000%

Fees and costs totaling $14.3 million were incurred related to the 2031 Senior Notes and are amortized over the life of the notes to interest expense.

2033 Senior Notes

On September 5, 2025, Kodiak Services issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2033 (the “2033 Senior Notes”). On September 22, 2025, Kodiak Services completed a private offering of an additional $170.0 million of 2033 Senior Notes for $173.4 million. The excess fair value above the face value was recognized as a bond premium, which is amortized as a reduction in interest expense over the remaining term of the 2033 Senior Notes. The net proceeds from the 2033 Senior Notes were used by the Company to repay a portion of the debt outstanding under the ABL Facility.

The 2033 Senior Notes can be redeemed by the Company on or after October 1, 2028, at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest. Additionally, prior to October 1, 2028, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the 2033 Senior Notes using proceeds from certain equity offerings at specified redemption prices and make-whole premiums plus

Table of Contents

any accrued and unpaid interest provided at least 50% of the original principal remains and redemption occurs within 180 days of the offering.

2035 Senior Notes

On September 5, 2025, Kodiak Services issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior unsecured notes due 2035 (the “2035 Senior Notes”). Subsequently, on September 22, 2025, Kodiak Services completed a private offering of an additional $30.0 million of 2035 Senior Notes for $30.9 million. The excess fair value above the face value was recognized as a bond premium, which is amortized as a reduction in interest expense over the remaining term of the 2035 Senior Notes. The net proceeds from the 2035 Senior Notes were utilized for the same purposes described above for the 2033 Senior Notes.

The 2035 Senior Notes can be redeemed by the Company on or after October 1, 2030, at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest. Additionally, prior to October 1, 2030, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the 2035 Senior Notes using proceeds from certain equity offerings at specified redemption prices and make-whole premiums plus any accrued and unpaid interest provided at least 50% of the original principal remains and redemption occurs within 180 days of the offering.

The indentures governing the 2031 Senior Notes, 2033 Senior Notes and 2035 Senior Notes contain covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries from actions such as distributing or redeeming equity, making certain investments, incurring additional debt, creating liens, selling assets, merging, engaging in affiliate transactions, and forming unrestricted subsidiaries, with some exceptions. Most restrictions terminate if the 2031 Senior Notes, 2033 Senior Notes and 2035 Senior Notes receive investment grade ratings from any two of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch, and no default exists. The indentures also include standard events of default.

As of March 31, 2026, the scheduled maturities of the Company’s long-term debt were as follows:

9. Derivative Instruments

The Company has entered into an interest rate swap, exchanging variable interest rates for fixed interest rates. The interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge derivative instrument, and management evaluated hedge effectiveness and determined it to be highly effective as of March 31, 2026. See Note 10. Fair Value Measurements for details on the valuation of the interest rate swap.

The table below summarizes the amortization schedule related to the interest rate swap, which matures on September 5, 2030:

10. 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 our 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 9. Derivative Instruments for more details.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our interest rate swap, measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and our long‑term debt disclosed at fair value:

11. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchases

Kodiak’s board of directors (“Board”) has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”) through December 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, $31.7 million remains available for repurchase under the Share Repurchase Program.

Table of Contents

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, 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 are accounted for as noncontrolling interests in Kodiak Services. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the year ended December 31, 2025, a total of 0.1 million and 0.5 million, respectively, shares 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. As of March 31, 2026, a total of 6.1 million shares of common stock has 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 - 200% 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.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes award activity under the Omnibus Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

As of March 31, 2026, the total future compensation cost related to non-vested equity awards was approximately $50.8 million to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.4 years, assuming the performance-based restricted stock units vest at 135%, pursuant to the terms of the applicable award. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, approximately $5.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively, in equity compensation expense was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Dividends

The following table summarizes the Company’s dividends declared and paid in each of the quarterly periods of 2026 and 2025:


	Dividends per Common Share		Dividends Paid
			(in thousands)
2026
Q1	$	0.49	$	43,024
2025
Q1	$	0.41	$	36,956
Q2	0.45		40,647
Q3	0.45		40,427
Q4	0.49		43,400

Subsequent to quarter end, on May 7, 2026, the Company’s Board declared a cash dividend of $0.49 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which is payable on May 28, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 18, 2026 (the “Common Stock Dividend”). In conjunction with the Common Stock Dividend, Kodiak Services declared a distribution on its units of $0.49 per unit payable on May 28, 2026 to all unitholders of record of Kodiak Services as of the close of business on May 18, 2026.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Accrued Capital Expenditures

As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued capital expenditures of $15.5 million and $23.0 million, respectively. These amounts were included in accounts payable or accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts exclude accrued capital expenditures related to the sales tax contingency accrual.

Purchase Commitments

Purchase commitments primarily consist of future commitments to purchase new compression and power generation units that have been ordered but not yet received. As of March 31, 2026, these commitments amounted to $276.4 million, of which $241.9 million is expected to be settled within the next twelve months.

Table of Contents

Sales Tax Contingency

Between October 2019 and April 2023, the Company received notices from the Texas Comptroller’s office in regards to audits for periods ranging from December 2015 through November 2023. The audits pertain to whether the Company may owe sales and use tax on certain of its compression equipment and parts that it purchased and used during that time period. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s associated liability was $66.0 million and $102.3 million, respectively, relating solely to the Texas portion of the sales and use tax.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company resolved outstanding Texas sales and use tax matters with the Texas Comptroller’s office related to certain prior periods. The settlement, which included applicable interest for the periods under review, was paid in full. The amount settled had previously been recognized in prior years, reflecting management’s earlier assessment of the liability.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various legal matters. Management believes that as of March 31, 2026, there are no legal matters whose resolution could have a material adverse effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company received a report regarding certain payments to local government officials in Mexico that commenced prior to the Company’s acquisition of its Mexican business in connection with the acquisition of CSI Compressco LP (the “CSI Acquisition”) that presented potential compliance issues under U.S. law. In response, the Company retained outside counsel to conduct an internal investigation of the reported payments, including whether any payments made may have indirectly benefited individuals associated with certain criminal cartel organizations, some of which may be designated as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) per Executive Order 14157 of January 20, 2025. The investigation determined that certain payments likely were made to persons associated with an organization designated as an FTO or SDGT. The payments appear to have been made in order to protect employees of the Mexican business from threats of harm or harassment, and to ensure access to work sites. The aggregate amount of these payments was not material. The Company sold its operations and legal entities in Mexico on September 30, 2025.

The Company voluntarily self-reported this matter to governmental authorities in the United States, including the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and is cooperating with the investigative steps being taken by the DOJ and OFAC into the matter as a result of the voluntary self-disclosure. The Company also voluntarily self-reported to the SEC and intends to cooperate fully should there be any investigation by the Commission. This matter could result in U.S. governmental authorities seeking criminal and/or civil sanctions, including monetary fines and penalties, against the Company, as well as requiring additional changes to the Company’s business practices and compliance programs. To the extent any of the payments at issue are determined to be illegal in a foreign jurisdiction, it is possible that there could be civil or criminal penalties assessed in that jurisdiction.

Although the Company does not expect the findings from the investigation or actions taken by governmental authorities to have a significant adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters at this time.

Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2026, there was $1.4 million of letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility mainly to support the Company's obligations to construct a gas compression station on behalf of a customer.

14. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.8 million and $10.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was approximately 13.4% and 25.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026, differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a tax benefit on the vesting of restricted stock. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes.

The Company did not have any uncertain tax benefits as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, and no amounts were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

15. 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 broad 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.

Our Chief Executive Officer, also our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assesses the performance of each segment based on adjusted gross margin. This metric is calculated by subtracting specific costs of service, such as cost of operations, from revenues directly attributable to the segment. Adjusted gross margin is a key tool used by the CODM for annual budgeting, monthly forecasting, and determining how to allocate capital and resources across the segments.

The following tables represent financial metrics by segment:

16. 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 three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, 115.0 thousand and 15.0 thousand unvested RSUs and PSUs, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of potential dilutive common shares due to their anti-dilutive impact.

The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

17. Subsequent Events

Acquisition of Distributed Power Solutions

On April 1, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Distributed Power Solutions, LLC (“DPS”), a provider of turnkey distributed and behind‑the‑meter power generation solutions. DPS has been rebranded as Kodiak Power Solutions, a division of the Company. Kodiak Services acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of DPS. The acquisition expands the Company’s platform beyond contract compression into distributed power generation and adds generation capacity, with customers across data center, microgrid, manufacturing and energy infrastructure end markets.

The total consideration consisted of $587.3 million of cash, including adjustments for certain additional power generation assets purchased since the transaction announcement, indebtedness and working capital, and the issuance of 2,401,278 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share with an estimated fair value of $139.0 million based on the Company’s closing stock price on April 1, 2026. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, and in connection with the acquisition of DPS, we entered into purchase commitments totaling approximately $244.8 million for the acquisition of power generation assets. These commitments are expected to be fulfilled over a period of approximately four years and are intended to support our planned investment in expanding our power generation fleet. As these commitments were entered into after March 31, 2026, they are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Due to the limited time since the closing of the acquisition, the initial valuations and accounting for this business combination are incomplete as of the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, certain disclosures required by ASC 805, including the allocation of the purchase price, the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, acquisition‑related costs, and the supplemental pro forma revenue and earnings for the combined entity have not yet been determined as the pro forma adjustments are expected to consist of estimates for the depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment assets, respectively, which will result from the purchase price allocation and determination of the fair values for the asset acquired.

Table of Contents

In connection with the closing of the acquisition of DPS, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Mustang PRS, LLC and Louisiana Machinery Company, L.L.C. (together, the “Holders”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Holders were granted customary rights to require us to file and maintain the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement with respect to the re-sale of the Common Stock received by the Holders, along with customary piggyback registration rights.

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, 2025, 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., supporting the critical movement and processing of natural gas across key production regions. 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.

As of March 31, 2026, we managed 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 services to support ancillary needs of our customers, including station construction, customer-owned compressor maintenance and overhaul, the provision of freight and crane services and other time and material-based offerings. Our Other Services offerings are often cross-sold with Contract Services.

The acquisition of DPS (as defined below) was completed subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2026. We expect that the recently acquired distributed power business will primarily be incorporated into a new reportable segment, Power Infrastructure beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. Certain ancillary services associated with the distributed power business, which are similar to those previously included in our operations, will be classified under our Other Services reportable segment. On a prospective basis, we expect to rename our Contract Services reportable segment to Compression Infrastructure. It is important to note that these changes to our reportable segments will be implemented in future periods and have not been implemented for the current period. For the current Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026, all financial information, disclosures, and discussion continue to be presented based on our existing reportable segments as of the reporting date.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of Distributed Power Solutions

On April 1, 2026, we completed the previously announced acquisition of Distributed Power Solutions, LLC (“DPS”), a leading provider of turnkey distributed power generation solutions and behind‑the‑meter power generation solutions. Closing consideration consisted of $587.3 million of cash (including adjustments for certain additional power generation assets purchased since the transaction announcement, indebtedness and working capital) and the issuance of 2,401,278 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share. For more information about the acquisition of DPS, please see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2026. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, and in connection with the acquisition of DPS, we entered into purchase commitments totaling approximately $244.8 million for the acquisition of power generation assets. These commitments are expected to be fulfilled over a period of approximately four years and are intended to support our planned investment in expanding our power generation fleet. As

these commitments were entered into after March 31, 2026, they are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

2031 Senior Notes Offering

On March 20, 2026, we completed the private offering of $1.0 billion in 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2031, issued at par and guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain subsidiaries. The proceeds from the offering were used to redeem the outstanding 7.25% Senior Notes due 2029 at a redemption price equal to 103.625% of the $750.0 million aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Redemption of 2029 Senior Notes

On March 11, 2026, we provided notice to the holders of our 2029 Senior Notes that, contingent on receipt of the proceeds from the 2031 Senior Notes, the 2029 Senior Notes would be redeemed at a premium on April 10, 2026. On March 30, 2026, utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the 2031 Senior Notes, we made an irrevocable deposit of funds with the trustee to satisfy and discharge the 2029 Senior Notes in accordance with the terms of the applicable indenture, which resulted in a legal defeasance under GAAP (the “Defeasance”). As a result of the Defeasance, the Company recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $36.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which primarily represents the early redemption premium of $27.2 million, write-off of deferred financing costs of $7.8 million, and accrued interest of $1.5 million.

Operational Highlights

The following table summarizes certain horsepower, unit count and horsepower utilization percentages for our fleet for the periods presented.

Operating Data:
Fleet horsepower (1)	4,477,398		4,422,914		1.2	%
Revenue-generating horsepower (2)	4,389,412		4,284,103		2.5	%
Fleet compression units	4,670		4,941		(5.5	%)

Revenue-generating horsepower per revenue-generating compression unit (3)	977		943		3.6	%
Fleet utilization (4)	98.0	%	96.9	%	1.1	%


(1)			Fleet horsepower includes (x) revenue-generating horsepower and (y) idle horsepower, which is comprised of compression units that do not have a signed contract or are not subject to a firm commitment from our customers and therefore are not currently generating revenue.
(2)			Revenue-generating horsepower includes compression units that are operating under contract and generating revenue and compression units which are available to be deployed and for which we have a signed contract or are subject to a firm commitment from our customer.
(3)			Calculated as (i) revenue-generating horsepower divided by (ii) revenue-generating compression units at period end.
(4)			Fleet utilization is calculated as (i) revenue-generating horsepower divided by (ii) fleet horsepower.

Horsepower

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, fleet horsepower increased 1.2% and revenue generating horsepower increased 2.5% compared to three months ended March 31, 2025. These increases were primarily attributable to the acquisition of over 20,000 horsepower of large compression assets from a prominent oil and gas producer in the Permian Basin in March 2026. This strategic purchase enhanced our fleet’s capacity and operational efficiency. Additionally, the reduction of idle equipment during the period contributed to a more robust and productive fleet profile. These improvements were partially offset by the divestiture and retirement of certain non-core assets during the period, reflecting our ongoing commitment to fleet optimization. The 3.6% increase in revenue-generating horsepower per revenue-generating compression unit was primarily a result of deploying these new large horsepower units.

Revenues and Sources of Income

Contract Services

Contract Services revenue increased $18.0 million, or 6.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was primarily due to a $17.3 million increase in Contract Services revenue resulting from pricing increase and revenue-generating horsepower. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million related to gas treating and cooling services.

Other Services

Other Services revenue decreased $1.9 million, or 4.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This reduction was mainly driven by lower revenues from station construction services along with a decline in field service revenue resulting from lower demand for third-party field service work and logistics. These declines were partially offset by strong growth in shop service revenue and incremental customer-requested services and materials.

Operating Costs and Other Expenses

Contract Services

Contract Services expenses decreased $3.0 million, or 3.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in cost of parts utilized to support our operations and a $1.4 million decrease in lubricant oil and coolant costs. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in direct labor expenses as a result of the incremental revenue noted above.

Other Services

Other Services expenses decreased $2.6 million, or 7.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by the lower Other Services revenue across our product lines as noted above.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.8 million, or 2.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to full depreciation of certain assets since the three months ended March 31, 2025, as well as the impact of asset sales and disposals during the current period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $13.9 million, or 43.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The majority of this increase resulted from a $10.8 million increase in professional fees, reflecting higher legal and transaction-related costs related to the DPS acquisition. Additionally, general liability insurance expenses increased $2.0 million compared to the prior year period, attributable to both higher premiums and expanded coverage requirements in the current market environment.

Loss on Sale of Assets

Loss on sale of assets decreased $8.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. In the first quarter of 2025, we recognized a net loss of $2.6 million on a sale-leaseback transaction and incurred a $6.6 million loss related to the sale and write-off of certain scrapped assets, neither of which reoccurred in the first quarter of 2026 and both of which contributed to higher loss in that period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 3.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher interest expense on our senior notes, reflecting the impact of our debt refinancing activities, including the issuance of the 2031 Senior Notes and redemption of the 2029 Senior Notes during the first quarter of 2026. This increase was partially offset by lower interest expense on our ABL Facility, reflecting reduced borrowings in the current period.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

We recognized a $36.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to the early redemption premium of $27.2 million, the write-off of deferred financing costs of $7.8 million, and accrued interest of $1.5 million associated with the defeasance and early redemption of our 2029 Senior Notes following the issuance of the 2031 Senior Notes. No such loss was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased by $7.8 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income of $20.9 million, as well as tax benefit related to the vesting of restricted stock for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

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 or repurchase shares pursuant to our Share Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $1.6 billion of liquidity consisting of $94.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 billion 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, 2026, growth capital expenditures were $85.6 million, other capital expenditures were $7.5 million, and maintenance capital expenditures were $17.8 million as compared to growth capital expenditures of $56.0 million, other capital expenditures of $22.3 million, and maintenance capital expenditures of $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in growth capital expenditures was primarily driven by a $24.0 million purchase of used assets, reflecting an opportunistic purchase of compression equipment to accelerate fleet growth and meet strong customer demand, as well as an $18.0 million investment in power generation infrastructure to support our recently acquired power distribution business. The decrease in other capital expenditures was attributable to the completion of our engine conversion program, a multi-year fleet upgrade initiative that was substantially finished during fiscal year 2025.

Table of Contents

Maintenance capital expenditures remain disciplined, with only a modest increase despite the continued expansion of our fleet.

Dividends

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

Subsequent to the quarter end, on May 7, 2026, the Company’s Board declared a cash dividend of $0.49 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which is payable on May 28, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 18, 2026. In conjunction with the Common Stock Dividend, Kodiak Services declared a distribution on its units of $0.49 per unit payable on May 28, 2026 to all unitholders of record of Kodiak Services as of the close of business on May 18, 2026. The declaration and payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on the factors discussed above.

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 to fund any such dividends and our budgeted growth capital expenditures for such period, we may fund our dividend or budgeted growth expenditures (i) with additional borrowings under our ABL Facility (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 the payment of a dividend, is not less than $100,000,000) or (ii) by reducing our growth capital expenditures. Any additional borrowings under our ABL Facility may result in an increase in our interest expense and any such reduction in our growth capital expenditures may result in lower growth in our revenue-generating horsepower in future periods. As of March 31, 2026, we had $1.5 billion available under our ABL Facility.

Contractual Obligations

Our material contractual obligations as of March 31, 2026, consisted of the following:

•Long-term debt of $2.8 billion, of which $449.9 million matures in 2030, $1.0 billion matures in 2031, $770.0 million matures in 2033, and $630.0 million matures in 2035.

•Purchase commitments of $276.4 million, of which $241.9 million is expected to be settled within the next twelve months; primarily consisting of future commitments to purchase new compression and power generation units that have been ordered but not yet received. See Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, and in connection with the acquisition of DPS, we entered into purchase commitments totaling approximately $244.8 million for the acquisition of power generation assets. These commitments are expected to be fulfilled over a period of approximately four years and are intended to support our planned investment in expanding our power generation fleet. See Note 17. Subsequent Events to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Other Commitments

As of March 31, 2026, other commitments include future operating and finance lease payments totaling $77.5 million.

Sources of Cash

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows:


	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2026		2025
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	71,182	$	114,328
Net cash used for investing activities	(114,903)		(68,177)
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities	134,905		(48,951)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	91,184	$	(2,800)

Operating Activities

The $43.1 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily driven by unfavorable changes in working capital items, particularly an increase in accounts receivable related to strong revenue growth and timing of customer collections. Working capital items used cash of $69.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the use of cash of $18.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was partially offset by the $36.5 million non-cash add-back for the loss on extinguishment of debt associated with our strategic debt refinancing activities completed during the quarter.

Investing Activities

The $46.7 million increase in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to a $40.8 million increase in cash used for capital expenditures, net of accrued capital expenditures. This was partially offset by a $5.9 million decrease in cash provided by proceeds on sale of assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $134.9 million increased $183.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to cash used for financing activities of $49.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash provided by financing activities during three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily the result of our strategic debt refinancing activities completed during the quarter, which resulted in net proceeds of approximately $193.2 million. These net proceeds, combined with lower share repurchase activity, more than offset the $42.6 million in dividend payments and $15.0 million tax-related outflows associated with equity compensation vesting.

Cash used for financing activities of $49.0 million during the 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 offset by $3.3 million of net cash provided by borrowings.

Description of Indebtedness

ABL Facility

Table of Contents

consecutive business days. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, availability exceeded this threshold, so the balance was classified as long-term in accordance with its maturity.

As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants under the ABL Facility. All obligations under the ABL Facility are collateralized by essentially all the assets of the Company.

Redemption of 2029 Senior Notes

The Defeasance required a cash outlay of $785.5 million, which was irrevocably deposited with the trustee to fund interest payments on the 2029 Senior Notes through April 10, 2026, when the 2029 Senior Notes were redeemed at a premium, as well as fund the redemption of the 2029 Senior Notes in full. As a result of the Defeasance, the Company recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $36.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which primarily represents the early redemption premium of $27.2 million, the write-off of deferred financing costs of $7.8 million, and accrued interest of $1.5 million.

2031 Senior Notes

2033 Senior Notes

On September 5, 2025, Kodiak Services issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2033 (the “2033 Senior Notes”). Subsequently, on September 22, 2025, Kodiak Services completed a private offering of an additional $170.0 million of 2033 Senior Notes for $173.4 million. The net proceeds from these offerings were used by the Company to repay a portion of the debt outstanding under the ABL Facility.

2035 Senior Notes

On September 5, 2025, Kodiak Services issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2035 (the “2035 Senior Notes”). Subsequently, on September 22, 2025, Kodiak Services completed a private offering of an additional $30.0 million of 2035 Senior Notes for $30.9 million. The excess fair value above the face value was recognized as a bond premium, which is amortized as a reduction in interest expense over the remaining term of the 2035 Senior Notes. The net proceeds from these offerings were used by the Company to repay a portion of the debt outstanding under the ABL Facility.

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 derivative instruments.

Table of Contents

Our interest rate swap exchanges variable interest rates for fixed interest rates. The Company designates our interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge, evaluates hedge effectiveness and determined it to be highly effective as of March 31, 2026. See Note 9. Derivative Instruments to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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, free cash flow, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share.

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 before interest expense; income tax expense; and depreciation and amortization; plus certain items, as applicable, such as (i) impairment of long-lived assets; (ii) loss (gain) on derivatives; (iii) equity compensation expense; (iv) severance expenses; (v) transaction expenses; (vi) sales tax reserve; (vii) loss (gain) on disposal of business; (viii) loss (gain) on sale of assets; and (ix) loss on extinguishment of debt. 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 certain items, as applicable, such as (w) severance expenses; (x) transaction expenses; and (y) sales tax reserve. 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, 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

Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP measure. 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; (iv) growth capital expenditures; and (v) other capital expenditures; plus certain items, as applicable, such as (w) severance expenses; (x) transaction expenses; (y) sales tax reserve; 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, 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.

(3)			Growth capital expenditures includes an $18.0 million investment in power generation infrastructure to support our recently acquired power distribution business for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
(4)			Growth and other capital expenditures includes a $6.5 million decrease and a $14.1 million increase in accrued capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
(5)			Growth capital expenditures include a non-cash increase in the sales tax accrual on compression equipment purchases of $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These accrual amounts are estimated based on the best-known information as it relates to open audit periods with the State of Texas. See Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are considered non-GAAP measures. Adjusted net income is defined as net income adjusted to exclude certain items, as applicable, such as (i) impairment of long-lived assets; (ii) severance expenses; (iii) transaction expenses; (iv) sales tax reserve; (v) loss on disposal of business; (vi) loss (gain) on derivatives; (vii) loss on extinguishment of debt; and (viii) the tax effects of the adjustments. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are key measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are 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, operating income, earnings per share, or cash flows from operating activities. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following tables reconcile net income to adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share to adjusted diluted earnings per share, for each of the periods presented:

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, 2025. 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, 2025.

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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $449.9 million and $464.6 million, respectively, outstanding under the ABL Facility and $325.0 million and $325.0 million, 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 the interest rate swap, the average annualized interest rate incurred on the ABL Facility for borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was approximately 5.67%. We estimate that a 1.0% increase in the applicable average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026, would have resulted in an estimated $1.2 million increase in ABL-related interest expense excluding the impact of our swaps.

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 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.

Table of Contents

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, 2026, and year ended December 31, 2025, our four largest customers, which are all investment-grade counterparties, accounted for approximately 31% and 32%, respectively, of our total revenues, with no single customer accounting for more than 15% 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, 2026, 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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, 2026.

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, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
