关于前瞻性声明的警示
本季度在表格10-Q中的报告（“本报告”）包含根据1995年美国私人证券诉讼改革法案的安全港条款的“前瞻性声明”。前瞻性声明既不是历史事实，也不是对未来绩效的保证。相反，它们仅基于我们对业务未来、未来计划和策略、预测、预期事件及趋势、经济和其他未来状况的当前信念、期望和假设。前瞻性声明可以通过诸如：“预期”，“打算”，“计划”，“目标”，“寻求”，“相信”，“项目”，“估计”，“期望”，“策略”，“未来”，“可能”，“可能”，“应该”，“将” 等参考到未来时段的词语来识别。前瞻性声明的示例包括我们就以下事项所做的声明：
•预期经营业绩，如营业收入增长和收益，以及我们偿还债务的能力;
•预计的资本支出水平和资金用途;
•目前或未来信贷市场波动和未来市场条件；
•潜在或待决收购交易或其他战略交易，其时间安排，获得关闭此类交易所必需的批准，我们融资此类交易的能力，以及我们实现任何此类交易拟定的运营、财务和战略收益的能力；
•出于我们收购csi compressco lp("csi compressco"和该收购活动，"csi收购"）的预期协同效应和效率。
•关于hk银行收购对杠杆和股利资料的预期，包括未来股利支付的金额和时间;
•对我们的财务状况产生影响的预期包括索赔、诉讼、环保成本、潜在负债及政府和监管调查及诉讼。
•天然气和石油行业的生产和产能预测;
•客户保留、增长、车队维护、市场地位和财务结果的策略；
•我们的利率对冲;
•风险管理策略。
由于前瞻性声明涉及未来，因此受固有的不确定性、风险和难以预测的环境变化的影响，其中许多因素超出我们的控制范围。我们的实际结果和财务状况可能与前瞻性声明中所指的有重大差异。因此，您不应过分依赖任何这些前瞻性声明。可能导致我们的实际结果和财务状况与前瞻性声明中所示有重大差异的重要因素包括，但不限于：
•天然气和石油需求减少；
•我们的关键客户之一出现的损失或财务状况恶化；
•我们的客户、供应商或供应商不支付款项或履行义务；
•竞争压力可能会导致我们失去市场份额;
•我们合同服务合同的结构以及在初步期限到期后客户未继续签订服务合同的失败；
•我们成功整合任何收购的业务的能力，包括csi compressco，并实现预期的收益；
•Our ability to fund purchases of additional compression equipment;
•A deterioration in general economic, business, geopolitical or industry conditions, including as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas War, inflation and slow economic growth in the United States;

•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;
•Volatility in interest rates;
•Our ability to access the capital and credit markets or borrow on affordable terms 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;

•The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures; and
•Such other factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this Report.

KODIAK GAS SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Description of Business
Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. (the “Company” or “Kodiak”) is an operator of contract compression infrastructure and related services in the U.S. The Company operates compression units under fixed-revenue contracts with upstream and midstream customers. The Company formerly managed its business through two operating segments: Compression Operations and Other Services. After the acquisition of CSI Compressco LP (“CSI Compressco” and such acquisition, the “CSI Acquisition”) on April 1, 2024, the Company manages its business through the following two operating segments: Contract Services and Other Services and operates predominantly in the U.S., with international subsidiaries that have limited operations in Mexico, Argentina and Chile. 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 station construction, maintenance and overhaul, freight and crane charges, part sales and other time and material-based offerings.
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.
See Note 20 (“Segments”) to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Merger with CSI Compressco
On April 1, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding partnership interests of CSI Compressco pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, dated December 19, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), for total consideration of $342.3 million, consisting of the issuance of the equity shares in the CSI Acquisition. CSI Compressco provided contract services related to the exploration and production of oil and natural gas, including natural gas compression services and treating services, and provided aftermarket services and compressor package parts and components manufactured by third-party suppliers. Strategically, the CSI Acquisition is expected to afford us the opportunity to capture significant synergies associated with our product and service offerings, further penetrate new and existing markets, and achieve administrative efficiencies and other strategic benefits.
Under the Merger Agreement, CSI Compressco unitholders received 0.086 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Kodiak (“common stock”) for each CSI Compressco common unit owned, and certain CSI Compressco unitholders meeting specified requirements (the “Electing Unitholders”) elected to receive limited liability company units (“OpCo Units”) representing economic interests in Kodiak’s subsidiary, Kodiak Services (along with an equal number of shares of Kodiak’s non-economic voting preferred stock), for each CSI Compressco common unit they held. Each OpCo Unit will be redeemable at the option of the holder for (i) one share of common stock (along with cancellation of a corresponding share of preferred stock) or (ii) cash at Kodiak Services’ election, following a 180 days post-closing lock-up and subject to certain conditions. On or after April 1, 2029, Kodiak shall have the right to effect redemption of such OpCo Units. The OpCo Units represent and will be accounted for as noncontrolling interests in Kodiak Services. Each share of preferred stock entitles the holder to one vote per 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. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 6,785,712 shares of common stock and 5,562,273 shares of preferred stock (with an equal number of OpCo Units) with an estimated fair value of $342.3 million based on the Company’s stock price on April 1, 2024 of $27.72.
Additionally, subsequent to the close of the CSI Acquisition, the Company used additional draws on the ABL Facility (see Note 10 for further description) of $651.8 million to repay, terminate and/or redeem all of CSI Compressco’s existing

outstanding indebtedness, except for certain equipment financing obligations, and pay fees and expenses related to the 2029 Senior Notes offering (see Note 10) and the CSI Acquisition.
Our preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the CSI Compressco net assets is as follows (in thousands):
Fair value of consideration transferred$342,285
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Cash and cash equivalents$9,458 
Receivables48,890 
Inventory40,738 
Prepaid expenses & other current assets8,738 
Intangible assets47,502 
Property, plant and equipment813,783 
Right of use assets26,044 
Deferred tax assets17 
Other non-current assets3,110 
Total assets acquired998,280 
Deferred tax liabilities27,938 
Long term debt627,953 
Other current liabilities86,212 
Other non-current liabilities21,871 
Total liabilities assumed763,974 
Total identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed$234,306 
Goodwill acquired$107,979 
The allocation of purchase price to CSI Compressco’s net assets and liabilities as of April 1, 2024, is preliminary and subject to the potential identification of additional assets and contingencies or revisions to the deferred income taxes or fair value calculations. As a result, the fair value may be subject to adjustments pending completion of final valuations and post-closing adjustments, and the final purchase price allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation above. Actual purchase price allocation amounts will be disclosed in subsequent filings. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. The methodologies used, and key assumptions made, were based on a combination of the income approach, market approach, and cost approach. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized measurement period adjustments of $10.1 million, primarily related to updated valuations of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and deferred tax liabilities. The measurement period adjustment increased goodwill acquired from $97.8 million to $108.0 million.
The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are categorized in the following levels:
Level 1 - Cash and cash equivalents; based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Receivables, inventory, right of use assets, prepaid expenses and other current assets, other non-current assets, long term debt and other current and non-current liabilities; based on inputs that are observable such as quoted prices in markets that are not active (e.g. quoted pricing on CSI Compressco’s debt), or inputs which are observable, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Intangible assets, property, plant and equipment; based on unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which assumption are made about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. The Company used a combination of the income, cost and market approaches based on various assumptions and inputs.

Table of Contents


The preliminary allocation of purchase price includes approximately $108.0 million allocated to nondeductible goodwill and is supported by the strategic benefits (discussed above) expected to be generated from the CSI Acquisition. The assessment of assigning goodwill to our respective segments is not complete as of the issuance date of our condensed consolidated financial statements. The acquired property, plant and equipment is stated at fair value, and depreciation on the acquired property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of each asset in line with the Company’s polices. The acquired intangible assets as of the CSI Acquisition date represent approximately $41.1 million for customer relationships, and $6.4 million for the trademarks/trade names that are stated at estimated fair value and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 15 years.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, our revenues include $87.9 million and $182.7 million, respectively, associated with the CSI Acquisition after the closing on April 1, 2024. It is impracticable to determine the earnings recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 as we initiated the integration of a substantial portion of CSI Compressco into our ongoing operations during the current period. In addition, acquisition-related costs of approximately $2.6 million and $27.8 million were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, related to external legal fees, transaction consulting fees, and due diligence costs. These costs have been recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited supplemental pro forma information presented below has been prepared to give effect to the CSI Acquisition as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2023. The unaudited supplemental pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is based on estimates and assumptions we deemed appropriate. The following unaudited supplemental pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved if the acquisition had occurred in the past, and our operating results may have been different from those reflected in the unaudited supplemental pro forma information below. Therefore, the unaudited supplemental pro forma information should not be relied upon as an indication of the operating results that we would have achieved if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2023 or the future results that we will achieve after the transactions. The unaudited supplemental pro forma results include certain adjustments, primarily due to increases in interest expense due to additional borrowings incurred to finance the acquisition and amortization of debt issuance costs, and acquisition related costs including transaction costs, such as legal, accounting, valuation and other professional services as well as integration costs such as severance.

Sale of Assets
On September 12, 2024, the Company sold certain property, plant and equipment and other assets in the U.S. and our entity in Canada to a third-party buyer. The majority of the operations were included in the Contract Services segment through the date of sale. At the disposal date, total net assets sold were $18.0 million, consisting primarily of compression equipment, inventory, and other assets. Upon disposition, we incurred a loss of $7.0 million included in (gain) loss on sale of property, plant and equipment in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
3. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kodiak and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
It is the Company’s opinion that all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Company’s results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The Company derives its revenue from contracts with customers, which comprise the following revenue streams:
Contract Services
Contract Services consists of operating Company-owned compression, customer-owned compression and gas treating and cooling infrastructure for the Company’s customers, pursuant to fixed-revenue contracts, enabling the production, gathering and transportation of natural gas and oil.
Contract Services for Kodiak-owned compressors, customer-owned compressors, as well as gas treating equipment, are generally satisfied over time, as services are rendered for selected customer locations on a monthly basis and based upon specific performance criteria set forth in the applicable contract. Terms are typically one to seven years, and at the end of the term, transition to a month-to-month term if not cancelled by either party. The monthly service for a location is substantially the same service month to month and is promised consecutively over the contract term. The progress and performance of the service are measured consistently using a straight-line, time-based method; the performance obligations are satisfied evenly over the contract term as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the service. Consistent with Kodiak’s satisfaction of its performance obligations, the customer renders payment for services over time in accordance with the terms of the contract.
If variable consideration exists, it is allocated to the distinct monthly service within the series to which such variable consideration relates. The Company has elected to apply the right to invoice practical expedient to recognize revenue for such variable consideration, as the invoice corresponds to the value transferred to the customer based on the Company’s performance completed to date.
There are typically no material obligations for returns, refunds or warranties. The Company’s standard contracts do not usually include non-cash consideration.
Other Services
Other Services consists of a full range of services to support any ancillary needs of customers, including station construction, maintenance and overhaul, freight and crane charges, and other time and material-based offerings.
For most of the Company’s construction contracts, the customer contracts with the Company to provide a service of integrating a significant set of tasks and components into a single contract. Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue over time as the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer, in turn, controls. For construction contracts, revenue is recognized using an input method. Measure of the progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation is based on the actual amount of labor and material costs incurred. The amount of the transaction price recognized as revenue each reporting period is determined by multiplying the transaction price by the ratio of actual costs incurred to date to total estimated costs expected for the construction services. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, but contract terms generally include a requirement of payment upon completion of a milestone. Judgment is involved in the estimation of the progress to completion. Any adjustments to the measure of the progress to completion is accounted for on a prospective basis. Changes to the scope of service are recognized as an adjustment to the transaction price in the period in which the change order is agreed upon and executed. Losses on construction contracts, if any, are recognized in the period when the estimated loss is determined. There have been no losses recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Services provided based on time spent, parts and/or materials are generally short-term in nature and labor rates and parts pricing are agreed upon prior to commencing the service. The Company applies a gross margin percentage, which is fixed based on historical time and materials-based service, to actual costs incurred. Since revenue is recognized when time is incurred, this revenue is recognized at a point in time when the service is rendered.
Service revenue earned primarily on freight and crane charges that are directly reimbursable by the Company’s customers is recognized at the point in time the service is provided, and control is transferred to the customer. At such time, the customer has the ability to direct the use of the benefits of such service after the performance obligation is satisfied. The amount of consideration the Company receives and the amount of revenue the Company recognizes is based upon the invoice amount.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
The Company recognizes a contract asset when the Company has the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to a customer. Contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the Company has the right to

9. Long-Lived and Other Asset Impairment
Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and other finite-lived identifiable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, including the removal of compressors from the active fleet, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such events may include significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant changes in asset use, significant negative industry or economic trends, and changes in the Company’s business strategy, among others. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Impairment losses are recognized in the period in which the impairment occurs and represent the excess of the asset carrying value over its estimated future discounted net cash flows.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we determined that certain events occurred to a group of non-operating compression units associated with a certain customer in bankruptcy that indicated the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. As a result, we recorded an impairment of compression equipment of $9.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. No impairment was recorded, and no triggering events were identified for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

ABL Facility
On March 22, 2023, wholly owned subsidiaries of Kodiak entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended or restated from time to time, the “ABL Credit Agreement” or “ABL Facility”), which mainly served to extend the maturity date from
13
Table of Contents


June 2024 to March 2028. The total commitments under the facility are $2.2 billion. As of September 30, 2024, there were $2.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility.
Pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement, the Company must comply with certain restrictive covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5x and a maximum Leverage Ratio (calculated based on the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement). The maximum Leverage Ratio is (i) 5.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 and (ii) 5.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter.
The ABL Credit Agreement also restricts the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; pay certain dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem equity interests; prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; issue certain preferred units or similar equity securities; make loans and investments; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; incur liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into agreements restricting the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; enter into certain swap agreements; amend certain organizational documents; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
The ABL Facility is a “revolving credit facility” that includes a lockbox arrangement whereby, under certain events, remittances from customers are forwarded to a bank account controlled by the administrative agent and are applied to reduce borrowings under the facility. One such event occurs if availability under the ABL Credit Agreement falls below a specified threshold (i.e., the greater of $200 million or 10% of the aggregate commitments at the time of measurement). As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, availability under the ABL Facility was in excess of the specified threshold, and, as such, the entire balance was classified as long-term in accordance with its maturity.
Third Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On January 22, 2024, Kodiak entered into the Third Amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, amended certain provisions of the ABL Facility (i) to accommodate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (see Note 2 - “Acquisitions and Divestitures”) and (ii) to account for the Company’s organizational structure after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Lender fees and costs totaling $2.9 million were incurred related to the Third Amendment and will be amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense.
In addition, the Third Amendment amended the ABL Facility to (i) update the maximum secured leverage ratio to (x) 3.75 to 1.00 for the first four fiscal quarters after the Company issues any unsecured indebtedness and (y) 3.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter, (ii) modify the triggers for commencing a “cash dominion” period (i.e., a period when the administrative agent applies proceeds in the deposit accounts to reduce borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement), such that a “cash dominion” period will commence if availability under the ABL Credit Agreement is less than $125 million for more than five consecutive business days or if certain types of events of default occur, (iii) include customary provisions relating to the designation of “unrestricted subsidiaries” (i.e., subsidiaries that are not required to become loan parties or be bound by the covenants contained in the ABL Credit Agreement), (iv) provide that only material domestic restricted subsidiaries are required to become guarantors and collateral grantors under the ABL Facility, and (v) permit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and liens and to make additional investments, dividends, distributions, redemptions and dispositions.
The weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, was 7.64% and 8.08%, respectively, excluding the effect of interest rate swaps. The Company pays an annualized commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of its ABL Facility if borrowings are greater than 50% of total commitments and 0.50% on the unused portion of the ABL Facility if borrowings are less than 50% of total commitments.
All obligations under the ABL Facility are collateralized by essentially all the assets of the Company. We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
2029 Senior Notes
On February 2, 2024, Kodiak Services issued $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”), pursuant to an indenture, by and among the Company and certain other subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Company’s 2029 Senior Notes are not subject to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund requirements. The 2029 Senior Notes are subject to redemption at a make-whole redemption price, inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest. This make-whole redemption price is determined
14
Table of Contents


as the higher of 100% of the principal amount of the notes or the present value of remaining principal and interest payments discounted semi-annually to the redemption date using the applicable treasury rate plus 0.50%. Before February 15, 2026, the Company has the option to redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes issued under this indenture, limited to the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings. Following February 15, 2026, the Company retains the right to redeem all or a portion of the 2029 Senior Notes, with redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount, along with accrued and unpaid interest.
The optional redemption percentages for the 2029 Senior Notes are as follows:
Percentage
2026103.625%
2027101.813%
2028 and thereafter100.000%
The indenture governing the Company’s 2029 Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to create liens securing certain indebtedness, enter into certain sale-leaseback transactions, or consolidate, merge or transfer certain assets. The covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2024. Fees and costs totaling $13.4 million were incurred related to the 2029 Senior Notes and will be amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense.
The proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the ABL Facility and to pay related fees and expenses in connection with the 2029 Senior Notes offering. In connection with the close of the CSI Acquisition on April 1, 2024, the Company used proceeds from additional draws on the ABL Facility to repay, terminate and/or redeem all of CSI Compressco’s existing outstanding indebtedness, except for certain equipment financing obligations, and pay fees and expenses related to the notes offering and the CSI Acquisition.
Term Loan
A wholly owned subsidiary of Kodiak had a term loan (the “Term Loan”), pursuant to a credit agreement with unaffiliated unsecured lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.
On June 29, 2023, the Company terminated all interest rate swaps and collars attributable to the Term Loan, recognized a gain on derivatives and received cash of $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (the “Term Loan Derivative Settlement”). On July 3, 2023, in connection with the IPO, the Company used the net proceeds from the IPO, together with the proceeds resulting from the Term Loan Derivative Settlement and borrowings under the ABL Facility, to repay $300 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan. Additionally, a subsidiary of Kodiak entered into a Novation, Assignment and Assumption Agreement (“Novation Agreement”) with Frontier TopCo Partnership, L.P. (“Kodiak Holdings”), an affiliate of EQT AB and holder of record of Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. common stock, pursuant to which all of the Company’s remaining obligations under the Term Loan were assumed by Kodiak Holdings, and the Company’s obligations thereunder were terminated. The Company is no longer a borrower or guarantor and is not otherwise obligated with respect to the debt outstanding under the Term Loan. As part of the $300 million repayment of the Term Loan, unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.4 million and fees of $2.4 million were recorded to loss on extinguishment for the year ended December 31, 2023. The carrying value of the Term Loan novated under the Novation Agreement of $689.8 million (comprised of $700.0 million of principal balance less $10.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs) was considered an equity transaction with the parent and recorded to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statement of stockholder’s equity for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company’s ABL Facility applies floating interest rates to outstanding amounts; therefore, the carrying amount of the ABL Facility approximates its Level 3 fair value. The fair value of the 2029 Senior Notes is determined using Level 2 inputs, relying on quoted prices in less active markets.
The Company records derivative instruments at fair value using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The interest rate swaps are 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 11 (“Derivative Instruments”) for more details.
The contingent consideration liability from a prior year acquisition is measured at fair value each reporting period, using Level 3 unobservable inputs (such as probability assessments of future cash flows), and changes in estimates of fair value are recognized in earnings.

13. Stockholders’ Equity
Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there were 84,509,612 and 77,400,000 shares of common stock issued, respectively. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to receive, ratably, the assets available for distribution to the stockholders after payment of all liabilities.
On July 3, 2023, 16,000,000 shares of common stock were issued and sold as part of the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), resulting in net proceeds of $230.8 million, after deducting expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions payable by the Company. On July 13, 2023, the underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase additional shares of common stock, pursuant to the underwriting agreement relating to the IPO, resulting in the issuance and sale of 2,400,000 shares of common stock. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $36.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions payable. The net proceeds of each issuance and sale were used for repayment of existing indebtedness and general corporate purposes. After giving effect to these transactions, Kodiak had 77,400,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2023. On April 1, 2024, 6,785,712 shares of common stock and 5,562,273 of preferred shares were issued in connection with the CSI Acquisition.
Share Repurchases
Pursuant to an agreement between the Company and Kodiak Holdings, on September 11, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,000,000 shares of common stock from Kodiak Holdings in a private transaction at a price of $25.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $25 million. The shares of common stock purchased in the Share Repurchase were recorded as treasury stock.
Class B and C Profits Interests
Prior to the IPO, Kodiak Holdings issued incentive awards to certain employees of Kodiak Services in the form of Class B incentive units (“Class B Units”). The Company records stock-based compensation expense associated with the Class B Units because of the employment relationship of the grantees with Kodiak Services.
On March 16, 2019, 61,098.4 Class B Units were authorized under the Kodiak Holdings 2019 Class B Unit Incentive Plan for grants to certain employees and non-employee board members. These Class B Units are intended to constitute “profits interests” for federal income tax purposes, but they constitute a substantive class of equity under GAAP. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there were 60,406.9 authorized Class B Units, and 57,058.5 were outstanding, respectively. There were no Class B Units granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Class B Units are subject to time vesting (the “Time-Vesting Units”), and the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the Class B Units are subject to performance vesting (the “Performance-Vesting Units”). Time-Vesting Units vest in equal annual installments on each of the five anniversaries of the applicable vesting commencement dates, subject to the Class B Unit holder’s continuous service through each of the applicable vesting dates. Performance-Vesting Units vest based on the achievement of certain investor return metrics, subject to the Class B Unit holder’s continuous service through the applicable vesting dates. Holders of Class B Units are entitled to distributions on vested awards in accordance with the Kodiak Holdings distribution waterfall. Class B Units are not subject to any conversion rights other than an automatic conversion to Class C incentive units (“Class C Units”) in connection with certain terminations of employment. Each Class C Unit holder is eligible to receive distributions up to an amount equal to the fair market value of the corresponding converted Class B Unit on the date of conversion. As of September 30, 2024, no material conversions had occurred.
There are no performance hurdles associated with the Time-Vesting Units. The fair value of each incentive award was estimated on its applicable grant date using an option pricing model.
Equity compensation expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, approximately $0.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in equity compensation expense was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, equity compensation expense was approximately $21 thousand and $502 thousand, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there were 276 unvested Time-Vesting Units, representing $0.1 million in unrecognized equity compensation expense.

Preferred stock
Holders of the Company’s preferred stock are entitled to one vote for each share, voting proportionally with holders of common stock. Preferred stock consists of 50,000,000 authorized shares as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, of which 5,562,273 and zero were issued and outstanding, respectively. 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 will be redeemable at the option of the holder for (i) one share of common stock (along with cancellation of a corresponding share of preferred stock) or (ii) cash at Kodiak Services’ election, following a 180 days post-closing lock-up and subject to certain conditions. On or after April 1, 2029, Kodiak shall have the right to effect redemption of such OpCo Units (along with corresponding share of preferred stock). The OpCo Units represent and will be accounted for as noncontrolling interests in Kodiak Services.
2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan
On June 20, 2023, Kodiak’s Board of Directors (the “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 to align the interests of service providers, including the Company’s named executive officers, with those of the Company’s stockholders. A total of 6,375,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the Omnibus Plan. As of September 30, 2024, 2,394,649 shares of common stock have been granted to certain employees, including Kodiak's named executive officers, pursuant to awards under the Omnibus Plan.
Restricted Stock Units
As of September 30, 2024, of the total shares of common stock equity awards granted under the Omnibus Plan, 1,821,007 shares were granted pursuant to awards of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vest ratably over a three-year period, subject to continuous service through each vesting date. On May 1, 2024, an additional 33,114 RSUs were granted that vest ratably over a one-year period, subject to continuous service through the vesting date.
On December 8, 2023, the Company provided employees who were eligible to receive cash payments of long-term incentive awards granted in January 2023 under the Company’s 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan the opportunity to make an election to receive a grant of RSUs that vest ratably over a three-year period in lieu of cash payments, resulting in the grant of 138,430 RSUs.
Performance Stock Units
As of September 30, 2024, 573,642 of the total shares of common stock equity awards granted under the Omnibus Plan were granted pursuant to awards of performance stock units (“PSUs”) that cliff vest at the end of a three-year performance period, with the ultimate number of shares earned and issued ranging from 0 - 190% of the number of shares subject to the PSU award, subject to continuous service through the end of the performance period and other conditions precedent. The performance criteria for the PSUs are a combination of: (1) Discretionary Cash Flow (as defined below, and, which we sometimes refer to as “DCF”) (30% weight); (2) Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (“CNLR”) (30% weight); (3) Absolute Total Shareholders' Return (“ATSR”) (30% weight); and (4) an ESG Scorecard (10% weight) (each as defined below), in each case, during the applicable performance period.
DCF is calculated based on the three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA less net cash taxes, less net cash interest, less maintenance capital expenditures, all as reported in the financial statement reconciliations provided in the Company’s public filings, measured over the performance period. CNLR is calculated as of the last day of the fiscal quarter at the end of the performance period, as the ratio of (a) Total Indebtedness (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) minus Cash, in each case, as of such date to (b) LQA Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) for the fiscal quarter ending at the end of the performance period, multiplied by four. ATSR is determined on an annualized basis over the relevant performance period for the beginning and ending 20-day volume-weighted average price, as adjusted for dividends paid.

Table of Contents


•The vesting of the PSUs based on DCF, CNLR, and ATSR will each be (i) 200% if the Company achieves performance at maximum; (ii) 100% if the Company achieves performance at target; (iii) 50% if the Company achieves performance at threshold level; and (iv) 0% if the Company achieves performance below threshold; and
•The vesting of the PSUs based on ESG Scorecard will be (i) 100% if the Company achieves ESG targets and (ii) 0% if the Company does not achieve ESG Scorecard.
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.
CSI Compressco Long Term Incentive Plan
In connection with the CSI Acquisition, we assumed the CSI Compressco LP Third Amended and Restated 2011 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”) and outstanding unvested RSU awards originally granted by CSI Compressco under 2011 Plan that were held by former CSI Compressco employees continuing their employment with Kodiak post-acquisition. These assumed awards were converted into approximately 127,355 RSU awards under the Omnibus Plan and will vest in accordance with their original terms, generally over 3 years. Awards cancelled or forfeited, and shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations, become available for future issuance.
The following table summarizes award activity under the Omnibus Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023:

20. Segments
The Company formerly managed its business through two operating segments: Compression Operations and Other Services. After the CSI Acquisition, the Company manages its business through two operating segments: Contract Services and Other Services. Contract Services consists of operating Company-owned compression, customer-owned compression, and gas treating and cooling infrastructure, pursuant to fixed-revenue contracts, to enable the production, gathering and transportation of natural gas and oil. Other Services consists of a full range of services to support ancillary needs of customers, including station construction, maintenance and overhaul, freight and crane charges, and other time and material-based offerings.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the adjusted gross margin of each segment, which consists of revenues directly attributable to the specific segment (less all costs of service directly attributable to the specific segment, which includes cost of operations and depreciation and amortization and excludes any impairment or gain (loss) on the depreciable assets). Depreciation and amortization for the Contract Services segment was $73.5 million and $46.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Depreciation and amortization for the Contract Services segment was $189.9 million and $136.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Revenue includes only sales to external customers. The following table represents financial metrics by segment (in thousands):

21. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
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 shares based on an average share price during the period. For the purpose of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, net income (loss) attributed to noncontrolling interest and the corresponding preferred shares outstanding are excluded from the calculations. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, 5.6 million of OpCo Units held by noncontrolling interest and 1.1 million unvested RSUs and PSUs were not included in the calculation of the potential dilutive common shares, respectively, because to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 42 thousand unvested PSUs were not included in the calculation of the potential dilutive common shares, respectively, because to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no anti-dilutive shares.
The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 are as follows:

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations 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, 2023, 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 operator of contract compression infrastructure in the U.S. Our compression services and other 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 under stable, fixed-revenue contracts with many upstream and midstream customers. Our compression assets have long useful lives consistent with the expected production lives of the key regions where we operate. We believe our customer-centric business model positions us as the preferred contract compression operator for our customers and creates long-standing relationships. We strategically invest in the training, development and retention of our highly skilled and dedicated employees and believe their expertise and commitment to excellence enhances and differentiates our business model. Furthermore, we maintain an intense focus on being one of the most sustainable and responsible operators of contract compression infrastructure.
We manage our business through two operating segments: Contract Services and Other Services. Contract Services consists of operating Company-owned and customer-owned compression and gas treating and cooling infrastructure to enable the production, gathering, processing and transportation of natural gas and oil. Other Services consists of station construction, maintenance and overhaul, freight and crane charges, parts sales and other ancillary time and material-based offerings. Our Other Services offerings are often cross sold with Contract Services.
Recent Developments
CSI Acquisition
On April 1, 2024, we completed the CSI Acquisition, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. CSI Compressco unitholders received 0.086 shares of common stock for each CSI Compressco common unit owned. The Electing Unitholders received 0.086 limited liability company units representing economic interests in Kodiak Services (along with an equal number of shares of non-economic voting preferred stock of Kodiak) for each CSI Compressco common unit they held. At the option of the holder, each such unit will be redeemable for one share of common stock (along with cancellation of a corresponding share of preferred stock), following a 180 day post-closing lock-up period and subject to certain conditions.

Secondary Offering and Share Repurchase
On September 11, 2024, Frontier TopCo Partnership, L.P. (“Kodiak Holdings”), an affiliate of EQT AB and holder of record of Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. common stock, sold 7,000,000 shares of common stock to the public pursuant to an underwritten offering (the “Secondary Offering”). We did not receive any proceeds from the Secondary Offering. On September 11, 2024, we repurchased 1,000,000 shares from Kodiak Holdings in a private transaction (the “Share Repurchase”). The Share Repurchase was consummated at a price of $25.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million. The shares of common stock purchased in the Share Repurchase were recorded as treasury stock.
Disposition
On September 12, 2024, we sold certain property, plant and equipment and other assets in the U.S and our entity in Canada to a third-party buyer. The majority of the operations were included in the Contract Services segment through the date of sale. At the disposal date, total assets sold were $18.0 million, consisting primarily of compression equipment, inventory, and other assets. Compression units sold totaled 2,012 units equaling 88,841 horsepower. Upon disposition, we incurred a loss of $7.0 million included in (gain) loss on sale of property, plant and equipment in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures
In March 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted rules to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures. The final rules require disclosure of the following information in the footnotes to financial statements, subject to certain materiality thresholds:
•Financial statement effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions;
•Impacts to estimates and assumptions used to produce financial statements associated with severe weather events and other natural conditions or any disclosed climate-related targets or transition plans; and
•Financial statement effects related to carbon offsets or renewable energy credits/certificates used as part of plans to achieve climate-related goals.
In addition, registrants will be required to disclose outside of financial statements information about the material impact of climate-related risks on strategy, business model and outlook; risk management processes for, and governance and oversight activities, of those risks; and material climate-related targets or goals. Information related to material greenhouse gas emissions will be required for certain registrants but will not be required for us based on our current filer status.
The final rules include a phased-in compliance period for all registrants, with the compliance date dependent on the registrant’s filer status and the content of the disclosure. Based on our current filer status, we will be required to comply with the final rules beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2027.
On April 4, 2024, SEC voluntarily stayed its climate disclosure rules to allow for judicial review. The stay was issued after petitions for review were filed against the SEC and consolidated before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The stay will remain in effect until the Eighth Circuit completes its judicial review. We are continuing to assess the new climate-related disclosure rules, awaiting decisions on their legal status and determining an implementation plan to comply with the disclosure requirements in accordance with the prescribed timeline.

Horsepower
The 37.5% and 32.7% increase in fleet horsepower and revenue-generating horsepower, respectively, were primarily attributable to the (i) additional 1.2 million horsepower acquired as part of the CSI Acquisition and (ii) purchase and deployment of new compression units through organic growth, offset by the sale of certain assets in the United States and our entity in Canada during the third quarter of 2024. The 15.4% decrease in revenue-generating horsepower per revenue-generating compression unit was due to the lower average horsepower per unit of the fleet acquired as part of the CSI Acquisition and offset by the sale of certain assets in the United States and all assets in Canada during the third quarter of 2024.

Revenues and Sources of Income
Contract Services
Contract Services revenue increased $97.6 million (52.3%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily related to a $90.7 million increase in contract compression services as a result of an increase in average revenue-generating horsepower, of which $74.2 million was related to the CSI

Acquisition. Furthermore, there was an increase of $6.9 million related to gas treating and cooling services as part of the CSI Acquisition.
Other Services
Other Services revenue decreased $4.0 million (9.0%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due a $21.9 million decrease in revenues from station construction services, mostly due to a reduction in the average size of station construction projects. This was offset by a $9.5 million increase in parts sales, a $4.0 million increase in freight and crane charges related to mobilization of units, a $2.1 million increase in maintenance and overhaul services, and a $1.9 million increase in other field services, of which $14.9 million was related to the CSI Acquisition.
Operating Costs and Other Expenses
Contract Services
Contract Services expenses increased $31.1 million (47.6%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily due to a $14.8 million increase in direct labor expenses, a $7.2 million increase in parts used in support of our operations, a $4.2 million increase in lubricant oil and coolant, a $4.6 million increase in indirect expenses, mainly relating to vehicle and facility expenses, and a $0.5 million increase in gas treating expenses, much of which was attributable to the CSI Acquisition. In addition, there was a $0.5 million increase in sales and use tax accrual related to parts purchases as part of ongoing sales and use tax audits with the state of Texas.
Other Services
Other Services expenses decreased $6.1 million (15.8%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a $21.7 million decrease in expenses from station construction services, mostly due to slower demand on station projects. This was offset by a $8.4 million increase in parts sales, a $3.7 million increase in freight and crane charges related to mobilization of units, a $2.0 million increase in maintenance and overhaul services, and a $1.3 million increase in other field services.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $27.4 million (59.4%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to a $26.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization related to the CSI Acquisition. The remaining increase is related to increased depreciation on compression equipment purchases.
Long-lived Asset Impairment
Long-lived asset impairment increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to certain events occurring to a group of non-operating compression units associated with a certain customer that indicated the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. As a result, we recorded an impairment of compression equipment of $9.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. No impairment was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $15.9 million (80.8%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was due to a $5.6 million increase in labor and benefits, of which $2.2 million was related to severance, a $4.6 million increase in professional fees, primarily related to transactions costs associated with the CSI Acquisition, a $1.4 million increase in equity compensation expense related to equity compensation plans, a $1.8 million increase in software expense, mainly related to the termination of an agreement as part of the CSI Acquisition, and a $4.5 million increase in other overhead expenses, mostly consisting of insurance and facility expenses. These increases were offset by a $2.0 million decrease in bad debt expense related to expected credit losses.

Loss on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment
Loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to the sale of certain property, plant and equipment and other assets in the U.S. and our entity in Canada to a third-party buyer.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased $14.3 million (36.0%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to increased interest expense associated with higher outstanding borrowings on the ABL Facility and 2029 Senior Notes in the current quarter as compared to outstanding borrowings on the ABL Facility and Term Loan in the comparable quarter.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
Loss on extinguishment of debt was related to the write off of debt issuance costs and other fees as a result of the extinguishment of the Term Loan during the three months ended September 30, 2023. No such loss was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Gain (Loss) on Derivatives
Gain (loss) on derivatives decreased $35.5 million (234.3%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily related to a decrease in the fair value of derivatives of $27.5 million offset by $5.0 million in cash received on derivatives for the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to a decrease in the long-term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) yield curve, as compared to an $8.0 million increase in the fair value of derivatives due to an increase in the long-term SOFR yield curve and cash received on derivatives of $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
Income tax (benefit) expense decreased by $10.1 million (127.6%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income of $38.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Operating Costs and Other Expenses
Contract Services
Contract Services expenses increased $68.6 million (35.5%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily due to a $33.4 million increase in direct labor expenses, a $15.1 million increase in parts used in support of our operations, a $8.4 million increase in lubricant oil and coolant expenses, a $7.7 million increase in indirect expenses, mainly relating to vehicle and facility expenses and a $1.1 million increase in gas treating expenses, much of which was attributable to the CSI Acquisition. In addition, there was an increase of $3.6 million related to additional sales and use tax accrual amounts related to parts purchases as part of ongoing sales and use tax audits with the state of Texas.
Other Services
Other Services expense increased $12.4 million (18.8%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to a $16.9 million increase in parts sales, a $7.1 million increase in freight and crane charges related to mobilization of units, a $6.0 million increase in maintenance and overhaul service-related expenses, and a $3.6 million increase in other field service expenses. This was partially offset by a $22.2 million decrease in expenses from station construction services.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $53.4 million (39.2%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to a $46.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization related to the CSI Acquisition. The remaining increase is related to increased depreciation on compression equipment purchases.
Long-lived Asset Impairment
Long-lived asset impairment increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to certain events occurring to a group of non-operating compression units associated with a certain customer in bankruptcy that indicated the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. As a result, we recorded an impairment of compression equipment of $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. No impairment was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $74.1 million (160.5%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was due to a $27.7 million increase in professional fees, primarily related to transactions costs associated with the CSI Acquisition, a $20.3 million increase in labor and benefits, of which $11.2 million was related to severance, a $8.7 million increase in equity compensation expense related to equity compensation plans, a $2.6 million increase in bad debt expense, mainly related to expected credit losses, a $6.4 million increase in software expense, mainly related to the termination of an agreement as part of the CSI Acquisition, and a $8.5 million increase in other overhead expenses, mostly consisting of insurance and facility expenses.
(Gain) Loss on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment
(Gain) loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to the sale of certain property, plant and equipment and other assets in the U.S. and our entity in Canada to a third-party buyer.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net decreased $36.2 million (19.9%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower borrowings on the ABL Facility and 2029 Senior Notes in the current year to date period as compared to the ABL Facility and Term Loan in the comparable year to date period.

Table of Contents


Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
Loss on extinguishment of debt was related to the write off of debt issuance costs and other fees as a result of the extinguishment of the Term Loan during the three months ended September 30, 2023. No such loss was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Gain on Derivatives
Gain on derivatives decreased $35.9 million (85.2%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily related to a $13.2 million decrease in the fair value of derivatives offset by an increase in cash received on derivatives of $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to an decrease in the long-term SOFR yield curve, as compared to a $25.8 million settlement on the termination of derivatives attributable to the Term Loan and $29.8 million cash received on derivative settlements on our interest rate swaps and collars, offset by a decrease in the change in fair value of the derivatives of $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to settlement on the termination of derivatives attributable to the Term Loan and a decrease in the long-term SOFR yield curve.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense increased by $0.3 million (2.7%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our ability to fund operations, finance capital expenditures, service our debt and pay dividends depends on our operating cash flows and access to the capital and credit markets. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from our operations and our borrowing availability under the ABL Facility. Our cash flow is affected by numerous factors, including prices and demand for our compression infrastructure assets and services, conditions in the financial markets and various other factors. We believe cash generated by operating activities will be sufficient to service our debt, fund working capital, fund our estimated capital expenditures in the short-term and long-term and, as our Board may determine from time to time in its discretion, pay dividends. At September 30, 2024, we had approximately $313.3 million of liquidity consisting of $7.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $305.9 million available under the ABL Facility.
Cash Requirements
Capital Expenditures
The compression infrastructure business is capital intensive, requiring significant investment to expand, maintain and upgrade existing operations. Our capital requirements have consisted primarily of, and we anticipate that our capital requirements will continue to consist primarily of, the following:
•Growth Capital Expenditures: (1) capital expenditures made to expand the operating capacity or operating income capacity of assets by acquisition of additional compression units, (2) capital expenditures made to maintain the operating capacity or operating income capacity of assets by acquisition of replacement compression units and (3) capital expenditures on assets other than compression units required to operate the business—such as trucks, wash trailers, crane trucks, leasehold improvements, technology hardware and software and related implementation expenditures, furniture and fixtures, and other general items that are typically capitalized and have a useful life beyond one year. We make capital expenditures unrelated to our compression units (as described in clause (3) above) if and when necessary to support the operations of our revenue-generating horsepower.
•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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, growth capital expenditures were $214.9 million and maintenance capital expenditures were $51.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, growth capital expenditures were $124.0 million and maintenance capital expenditures were $28.1 million. The increase in growth capital expenditures includes a $21.8 million non-cash increase related to our sales tax accrual on compression equipment purchases related to audits we are undergoing with the state of Texas. The remaining amounts were primarily related to the timing of compression unit purchases necessary to support operating capacity demand. The increase in maintenance capital expenditures was primarily due to maintenance capital expenditures on the assets acquired in the CSI Acquisition since closing on April 1, 2024 and an increase in unit overhauls scheduled based on the age and operating hours of such units.
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, economic conditions, our financial condition, results of operations, projections, liquidity, earnings, legal requirements and restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness (as further discussed herein). The timing, amount and financing of dividends, if any, are subject to the discretion of our Board from time to time.
On October 21, 2024, our Board declared the Common Stock Dividend and, in conjunction with the Common Stock Dividend, Kodiak Services declared a distribution on its units of $0.41 per unit payable on November 8, 2024 to all unitholders of record of Kodiak Services as of the close of business on November 1, 2024.
Over the long-term, we expect to fund any dividends and our budgeted growth capital expenditures using our Discretionary Cash Flow. In the event our Discretionary Cash Flow is insufficient for the purpose of funding any such dividends and our budgeted growth capital expenditures for such period, we may fund such shortfall (i) with additional borrowings under our ABL Facility, which, as of September 30, 2024, had $305.9 million available (subject to the requirement that our availability, in the case of dividends, under the ABL Facility (calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Specified Transaction) is not less than $125,000,000) or (ii) reduce our growth capital expenditures for such period. Any such additional borrowings under our ABL Facility will result in an increase in our interest expense for such period. Any such reduction in our growth capital expenditures may result in lower growth in our revenue-generating horsepower in future periods.
Contractual Obligations
Our material contractual obligations as of September 30, 2024, consisted of the following:
•Long-term debt of $2.6 billion, of which $1.9 billion is due in 2028 and $750.0 million is due in 2029.
•Purchase commitments of $158.9 million, of which $147.6 million is expected to be settled within the next twelve months; primarily consisting of future commitments to purchase new compression units that have been ordered but not yet received. See Note 14 (“Commitments and Contingencies”) to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Other Commitments
As of September 30, 2024, other commitments include operating lease payments totaling $60.5 million.
As of December 31, 2023, other commitments include operating lease payments totaling $34.5 million.

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$1,872 $(14,303)$16,175 
Operating Activities
The $5.8 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to a $55.6 million decrease in interest expense, net of debt issuance cost amortization, a $82.8 million increase in non-cash operating items, namely depreciation and amortization, taxes and equity compensation. This increase was partially offset by a $58.8 million decrease in cash received on derivatives, a $73.2 million increase from working capital changes, namely changes in accounts receivable, net, accrued and other liabilities, and contract liabilities, and a $3.0 million decrease in income from operations.
Investing Activities
The $94.8 million increase in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to a $118.1 million increase in capital expenditures, net of accrued capital expenditures. This was partially offset by $9.5 million in cash acquired related to the CSI Acquisition, and a $13.9 million increase in proceeds on sale of property, plant and equipment.
Financing Activities
The $105.1 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to decreased proceeds from initial public offering of $277.8 million, an increase in dividends paid to stockholders of $97.5 million, share repurchases of $25.0 million, distributions to noncontrolling interests of $4.9 million, cash paid for shares withheld to cover taxes of $2.7 million, and principal payments on finance leases of $0.9 million. This was offset by an increase in net borrowings over payments on debt instruments of $444.8 million, a $42.3 million distribution, a decrease in payments of debt issuance costs of $16.4 million, a decrease of $8.1 million in cash payments related to offering costs, a decrease of $1.8 million related to loss on extinguishment of debt, and $0.4 million of taxes payable related to the vesting of restricted stock.
Description of Indebtedness
ABL Facility
On March 22, 2023, wholly owned subsidiaries of Kodiak entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended or restated from time to time, the “ABL Credit Agreement” or “ABL Facility”), which mainly served to extend the maturity date from June 2024 to March 2028. The total commitments under the facility are $2.2 billion. As of September 30, 2024, there were $2.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility. See Note 10 (“Debt and Credit Facilities”) to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for further description. The ABL Credit Agreement requires that we meet certain financial ratios.
Pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement, the Company must comply with certain restrictive covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5x and a maximum Leverage Ratio (calculated based on the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement). The maximum Leverage Ratio is (i) 5.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 and
39
Table of Contents


(ii) 5.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter. All loan amounts are collateralized by essentially all the assets of the Company.
The applicable interest rate under the ABL Facility is (i) in the case of SOFR-based borrowings, the Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR rate then in effect (subject to a floor of 0%) plus 0.10% plus a spread that depends on our Leverage Ratio as of the most recent determination date, ranging from 2.00% if our Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00:1.00 to 3.00% if our Leverage Ratio is greater than 5.50:1.00 and (ii) in the case of prime rate-based borrowings, the prime rate (subject to a floor of 2.5%) plus a spread that depends on our Leverage Ratio as of the most recent determination date, ranging from 1.00% if our Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00:1.00 to 2.00% if our Leverage Ratio is greater than 5.50:1.00.
The ABL Credit Agreement also restricts the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; pay certain dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem equity interests; prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; issue certain preferred units or similar equity securities; make loans and investments; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; incur liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into agreements restricting the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; enter into certain swap agreements; amend certain organizational documents; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
The ABL Facility is a “revolving credit facility” that includes a lockbox arrangement whereby, under certain events, remittances from customers are forwarded to a bank account controlled by the administrative agent and are applied to reduce borrowings under the facility. One such event occurs if availability under the ABL Credit Agreement falls below a specified threshold (i.e., the greater of $200 million or 10% of the aggregate commitments at the time of measurement). As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, availability under the ABL Facility was in excess of the specified threshold, and, as such, the entire balance was classified as long term in accordance with its maturity.
Third Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On January 22, 2024, Kodiak entered into the Third Amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, amended certain provisions of the ABL Facility (i) to accommodate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) to account for the Company’s organizational structure after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Fees and costs totaling $2.9 million were incurred related to the Third Amendment and will be amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense.
In addition, the Third Amendment amended the ABL Facility to (i) update the maximum secured leverage ratio to (x) 3.75 to 1.00 for the first four fiscal quarters after the Company issues any unsecured indebtedness and (y) 3.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter, (ii) modify the triggers for commencing a “cash dominion” period (i.e., a period when the administrative agent applies proceeds in the deposit accounts to reduce borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement), such that a “cash dominion” period will commence if availability under the ABL Credit Agreement is less than $125 million for more than five consecutive business days or if certain types of events of default occur, (iii) include customary provisions relating to the designation of “unrestricted subsidiaries” (i.e., subsidiaries that are not required to become loan parties or be bound by the covenants contained in the ABL Credit Agreement), (iv) provide that only material domestic restricted subsidiaries are required to become guarantors and collateral grantors under the ABL Facility, and (v) permit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and liens and to make additional investments, dividends, distributions, redemptions and dispositions.
The weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, was 7.64% and 8.08%, respectively, excluding the effect of interest rate swaps. The Company pays an annualized commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of its ABL Facility if borrowings are greater than 50% of total commitments and 0.50% on the unused portion of the ABL Facility if borrowings are less than 50% of total commitments.
All obligations under the ABL Facility are collateralized by essentially all the assets of the Company. We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
2029 Senior Notes
On February 2, 2024, Kodiak Services issued $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Kodiak Services’ 7.25% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”), pursuant to an indenture, dated February 2, 2024, by and among the Company, and certain other subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee.

Table of Contents


The proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the ABL Facility and to pay related fees and expenses in connection with the notes offering. In connection with the close of the CSI Acquisition on April 1, 2024, the Company used proceeds from additional draws on the ABL Facility to repay $651.8 million of existing outstanding indebtedness, except for certain equipment financing obligations, and pay fees and expenses related to the notes offering and the CSI Acquisition.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
To mitigate a portion of the exposure to fluctuations in the variable interest rate of the ABL Facility, we have entered into various derivative instruments.
Our interest rate swaps exchange variable interest rates for fixed interest rates. We have not designated any derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes and do not enter into such instruments for speculative or trading purposes. See Note 11 (“Derivative Instruments”) to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere 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 and Free Cash Flow.
Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage
Adjusted Gross Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. 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
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net; income tax expense (benefit); and depreciation and amortization; plus (i) loss on extinguishment of debt; (ii) loss (gain) on derivatives; (iii) equity compensation expense; (iv) severance expenses; (v) transaction expenses; (vi) loss (gain) on sale of assets; and (vii) impairment of compression equipment. We define Adjusted EBITDA Percentage as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and other financial institutions, to assess:
•the financial performance of our assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of our assets;
•the viability of capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities;
•the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to make debt payments and pay dividends; and
•our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in our industry without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage provide useful information because, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, they provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone. We also believe that external users of our financial statements benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating the results of our business.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, revenues, net income (loss), operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance and liquidity. Moreover, our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Given we are a capital-intensive business, depreciation, impairment of compression equipment and the interest cost of acquiring compression equipment are necessary elements of our costs. To compensate for these items, we believe that it is important to consider both net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities determined under GAAP, as well as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage, to evaluate our financial performance and our liquidity. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, and these measures may vary among companies. Management compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable

Discretionary Cash Flow
We define Discretionary Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less (i) maintenance capital expenditures;(ii) gain (loss) on sale of property, plant and equipment; (iii) certain changes in operating assets and liabilities; and (iv) certain other expenses; plus (x) severance expenses; and (y) transaction expenses. We believe Discretionary Cash Flow is a useful liquidity and performance measure and supplemental financial measure for us in assessing our ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, make growth capital expenditures and assess our operating performance. Our ability to pay dividends is subject to limitations due to restrictions contained in our ABL Credit Agreement, as further described elsewhere herein. Discretionary Cash Flow is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, such as revenues, net income (loss), operating income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities. Discretionary Cash Flow as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Free Cash Flow
We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less (i) maintenance capital expenditures; (ii) gain (loss) on sale of property, plant and equipment; (iii) certain changes in operating assets and liabilities; (iv) certain other expenses; and (v) net growth capital expenditures; plus (x) severance expenses; (y) transaction expenses; and (z) proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure and useful supplemental financial measure for us in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments to grow our business and to service our debt. Free Cash Flow is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, such as revenues, net income (loss), operating income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities. Free Cash Flow as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see “Part II – Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Except as described below, 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, 2023.

Acquisition Purchase Price Allocations
We account for acquisitions of businesses using the purchase method, which requires the allocation of the purchase price based on the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired. We estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired using accepted valuation methods, and, in many cases, such estimates are based on our judgments as to the future operating cash flows expected to be generated from the acquired assets throughout their estimated useful lives. We will account for the various assets (including intangible assets) and liabilities acquired with the CSI Acquisition based on our estimate of fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired. Our estimates and judgments of the fair value of acquired businesses are imprecise, and the use of inaccurate fair value estimates could result in the improper allocation of the acquisition purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities, which could result in asset impairments, the recording of previously unrecorded liabilities, and other financial statement adjustments. The difficulty in estimating the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities is increased during periods of economic uncertainty.
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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, outstanding under the ABL Facility and $1.6 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, outstanding and effective notional amounts of floating to fixed interest rate swaps, which we attribute to our borrowings under our ABL Facility. Excluding the effect of interest rate swaps, the average annualized interest rate incurred on the ABL Facility for borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was approximately 7.93%. We estimate that a 1.0% increase in the applicable average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, would have resulted in an estimated $8.0 million increase in ABL-related interest expense.
Counterparty Risk
Our credit exposure generally relates to receivables for services provided and a counterparty’s failure to meet its obligations under a derivatives contract with the Company. If any significant customer 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. For example, an affiliate of one of our customers in the Powder River Basin has been undergoing a bankruptcy proceeding since 2019. Such customer has from time to time been late in remitting payment for our Contract Services, which we have continued to deliver, and we are pursuing prompt payment of the amount owed. We do not expect the amount owed presents any material concentration risk.
The Company uses credit and other financial criteria to evaluate the credit standing of, and to select, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, and year ended December 31, 2023, our four largest customers accounted for approximately 27% and 37%, respectively, of our recurring revenues, with no single customer accounting for more than 14% for either ending period. If any significant customer of ours should discontinue their relationship with us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Commodity Price Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We do not take title to any natural gas or oil in connection with our services and, accordingly, have no direct exposure to fluctuating commodity prices. However, the demand for our Contract Services depends upon the continued demand for, and production of, natural gas and oil. Sustained low natural gas or oil prices over the long term could result in a decline in the production of natural gas or oil, which could result in reduced demand for our Contract Services.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2024, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as amended. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.
As disclosed in Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures in Part I, Item 1, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q, Kodiak acquired CSI Compressco on April 1, 2024. The total revenues of CSI Compressco represented approximately 27% and 22%, respectively, of the total revenues as shown on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and CSI Compressco’s total assets constituted approximately 22% of total assets as shown on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the same period. Kodiak is currently integrating CSI Compressco into our overall internal control over financial reporting process and, consistent with interpretive guidance issued by the Staff of the SEC, is excluding the business from our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. In accordance with such guidance, an assessment of recent business combinations may be omitted from management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting for one year following the acquisition.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As noted above, we acquired CSI Compressco on April 1, 2024. We are integrating CSI Compressco into our overall internal control over financial reporting process. At this time, we anticipate that the scope of our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 will exclude CSI Compressco’s internal control over financial reporting.
Other than as set forth above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
