CEO Commentary
“Kodiak is off to a fantastic start in 2026, with record contract services revenue and adjusted gross margin percentage driving record quarterly adjusted EBITDA. Our contract compression business continues to outperform expectations, and our new power business has tremendous growth potential," said Mickey McKee, Kodiak's President and Chief Executive Officer. “Since closing the DPS acquisition, we have been actively engaged with numerous data center developers discussing the scope and scale of their distributed power needs. Given the overwhelming demand, we are actively working to scale our power offerings, including today's announcement of equipment orders that will significantly increase our power generation capacity to over 650 megawatts, and clear line of sight to

over two gigawatts by the end of the decade. We are currently in advanced discussions with customers to deploy this capacity under long-term contracts.
“We remain constructive on the outlook for U.S. natural gas, with rising demand driving the need for incremental compression infrastructure. The market remains tight, with historically long lead times for new large horsepower compression, but Kodiak is well positioned to deliver on our growth targets in the coming years. We're also encouraged by the increasing adoption of distributed power as the preferred solution for data center and other large industrial power consumers' long-term power needs. We have a robust pipeline of commercial opportunities, and have made meaningful progress to secure the equipment to allow us to capture those opportunities and realize our long-term growth objectives."

(1)The Company is unable to reconcile projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income (loss) and discretionary cash flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities and projected adjusted gross margin percentage to projected gross margin percentage, the most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, respectively, without unreasonable efforts because components of the calculations are inherently unpredictable, such as changes to current assets and liabilities, unknown future events, and estimating certain future GAAP measures. The inability to project certain components of the calculation would significantly affect the accuracy of the reconciliations.
(2)Discretionary cash flow guidance assumes no change to Secured Overnight Financing Rate futures.
(3)The Company's Contract Services segment will be renamed Compression Infrastructure going forward. In addition, the Company intends to create a new Power Infrastructure segment that will include a significant majority of the assets, revenues and expenses acquired in the DPS acquisition, as well as similar assets, revenues and expenses, going forward. A portion of the revenues and expenses acquired in the DPS acquisition that are not recurring in nature, as well as similar revenues and expenses arising from the power business going forward, will be included in the Company's existing Other Services segment. To assist in comparisons to future segment results, the guidance above is provided using the Company's go-forward segment structure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are considered non-GAAP measures. Adjusted net income is defined as net income adjusted to exclude certain items, as applicable, such as (i) impairment of long-lived assets; (ii) severance expenses; (iii) transaction expenses; (iv) sales tax reserve; (v) loss on disposal of business; (vi) loss (gain) on derivatives; (vii) loss on extinguishment of debt; and (viii) the tax effects of the adjustments. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA percentage are considered non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined net income before interest expense; income tax expense; and depreciation and amortization; plus certain items, as applicable, such as (i) impairment of long-lived assets; (ii) loss (gain) on derivatives; (iii) equity compensation expense; (iv) severance expenses; (v) transaction expenses; (vi) sales tax reserve; (vii) loss (gain) on disposal of business; (viii) loss (gain) on sale of assets; and (ix) loss on extinguishment of debt. We define adjusted EBITDA percentage as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.
Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, 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: (i) the financial performance of our assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of our assets; (ii) the viability of capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities; (iii) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to make debt payments and pay dividends; and (iv) 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 adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, 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. Reconciliations of adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA to net income and adjusted diluted EPS to GAAP diluted earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented below.
Adjusted gross margin is defined as revenue less cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted gross margin percentage is defined as adjusted gross margin divided by total revenues. We believe adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage are useful as supplemental measures to investors of our operating profitability. Reconciliations of adjusted gross margin to gross margin are presented below.
Discretionary cash flow is considered a non-GAAP measure. Discretionary cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less (i) maintenance capital expenditures; (ii) certain changes in operating assets and liabilities; and (iii) certain other expenses; plus certain items, as applicable, such as (w) severance expenses; (x) transaction expenses; and (y) sales tax reserve. We believe discretionary cash flow is a useful liquidity and performance measure and supplemental financial measure in assessing our ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, make growth capital expenditures and assess our operating performance. A reconciliation of discretionary cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities is presented below.
Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP measure. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less (i) maintenance capital expenditures; (ii) certain changes in operating assets and liabilities; (iii) certain other expenses; (iv) growth capital expenditures; and (v) other capital expenditures; plus certain items, as applicable, such as (w) severance expenses; (x) transaction expenses; (y) sales tax reserve; and (z) proceeds from sale of assets. We believe free cash flow is a liquidity measure and useful

supplemental financial measure in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments to grow our business and to service our debt. A reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities is presented below.
