(NYSE: KGS) ("Kodiak" or the "Company"), a leading provider of critical energy infrastructure and contract compression services, today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and updated full-year 2025 guidance.

  • Deployed 48,900 horsepower of new, large horsepower compression units

"Kodiak had another outstanding quarter, with strong recontracting results and increased operational efficiency driving new quarterly records in total revenues, adjusted EBITDA and discretionary cash flow," said Mickey McKee, Kodiak’s President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continued to high grade our compression fleet, adding new, large horsepower units and divesting underutilized non-core horsepower assets. Execution of this strategy drove a third consecutive quarterly increase in fleet utilization and Contract Services adjusted gross margin percentage.

"Despite recent volatility in energy prices, the long-term growth outlook for U.S. natural gas supply and associated need for large horsepower compression infrastructure is unchanged, and Kodiak is committed to delivering the high level of service our customers expect with one of the safest and most sustainable contract compression fleets in the industry.

"The production focus of our compression services—supported by fixed-revenue contracts with premier customers operating in the most economic basins—drives the strength and resilience of our business model. Given the sustainability of our cash flow and the positive outlook for the remainder of the year, we increased our full year 2025 guidance and enhanced our return of capital to shareholders through share repurchases and the recently announced increase to our quarterly dividend, while continuing to drive to our leverage target."
