Third Quarter 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights

• Revenue of $167 million, a 5% increase over second quarter 2025
• Net loss of $(14) million, diluted loss per share of $(0.74) and Consolidated Net Loss Margin of (9)%
• Adjusted EBITDA of $21 million, a 14% increase over second quarter 2025

• Total liquidity of $65 million as of September 30, 2025, consisting of approximately $8 million of cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $57 million of available borrowing capacity under the asset-based revolving credit facility

See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this release for a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Loss per share, Unlevered and Levered Free Cash Flow, Net Working Capital, Net Debt, Consolidated Net Loss Margin and Segment Operating Income (Loss) Margin and their reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We have not provided reconciliations of our future expectations as to Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA margin as such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts.

Chris Baker, KLX President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our third quarter represented the strongest quarter of the year, overcoming continued market headwinds, including commodity price volatility and weaker OFS demand across the drilling, completion and production environment. Sequentially, revenue grew 5% and Adjusted EBITDA grew 14%, despite the average US land rig count declining 6% and the average frac spread count declining 12% from the second quarter.

"Performance during the quarter was underpinned by strategically allocating assets across our broad geographic footprint, focusing on field execution and efficiencies, and tight cost controls all while adapting to regional differences in activity," added Baker. "Our completion-oriented product lines, notably in our Mid-Con/Northeast region, contributed meaningfully to this quarter's top-line strength. By improving asset and crew utilization, KLX once again has demonstrated the ability to capture incremental activity across key basins. 

"Looking forward, we anticipate typical seasonality and customer budget exhaustion translating to a slight moderation in activity during the fourth quarter. We expect a mid-single-digit revenue decline from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, indicating a less pronounced contraction than in past years. Importantly, we expect continued stable Adjusted EBITDA margins, supported by new project awards from key accounts, regional activity mix and ongoing cost discipline," concluded Baker.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $166.7 million, an increase of 5% compared to the second quarter of 2025 revenue of $159.0 million. The increase in revenue reflects a seasonal market activity increase. On a product line basis, drilling, completion, production and intervention services contributed approximately 15%, 60%, 16% and 9%, respectively, to revenue for the third quarter of 2025.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $(14.3) million, compared to the second quarter of 2025 net loss of $(19.9) million. Adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $(14.0) million, compared to the second quarter of 2025 adjusted net loss of $(17.0) million. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 was $21.1 million, compared to the second quarter of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $18.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 13%, compared to the second quarter of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12%.

Third Quarter 2025 Segment Results

The Company reports revenue, operating (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA through three geographic business segments: Rocky Mountains, Southwest and Northeast/Mid-Con. The Company reports operating activities not attributable to an individual geographic business segment through the Corporate and other segment. Segment results are reported after inter-segment eliminations.

• Rocky Mountains: Revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA for the Rocky Mountains segment was $50.8 million, $1.8 million and $8.1 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2025. Third quarter revenue represents a 6% sequential decrease over the second quarter of 2025, driven by tech services, frac rental and coiled tubing. Segment operating income decreased sequentially and segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 22% sequentially. This quarter-over-quarter decrease in income and margin was a function of lower utilization in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the second quarter of 2025.
• Southwest: Revenue, operating loss and Adjusted EBITDA for the Southwest segment, which includes the Permian and South Texas, was $56.6 million, $(3.4) million and $5.1 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2025. Third quarter revenue represents a 4% sequential decrease over the second quarter of 2025, driven by rentals, flowback and directional drilling. Segment operating loss decreased sequentially and Adjusted EBITDA decreased sequentially 29% due to mix shift, increased white space and lower pricing.
• Northeast/Mid-Con: Revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA for the Northeast/Mid-Con segment was $59.3 million, $6.6 million and $14.5 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2025. Third quarter revenue represents a 29% sequential increase over the second quarter of 2025 due to improved KLX completions utilization and increased regional gas-focused activity. Segment operating income increased by 608% and segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 101% as compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to improved utilization and decreased white space.
• Corporate and other: Operating loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss for the Corporate and other segment were $(8.0) million and $(6.6) million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2025. Corporate operating loss decreased due to a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the second quarter of 2025 driven by reduced overhead, lower third-party costs, and recovery of a legal claim.

The following is a tabular summary of revenue, operating (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA (loss) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 and the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 ($ in millions).

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.3 million and the Company had availability of $56.9 million on the ABL Facility August borrowing base certificate, including availability on an undrawn FILO facility, resulting in a total liquidity position of $65.2 million.

Net Working Capital as of September 30, 2025 was $50.1 million, a 9% increase from June 30, 2025 driven by a 5% sequential increase in revenue and a reduction in accrued liabilities. We expect to operate with a lower cash balance than in prior periods due to the flexibility provided by the new ABL Facility, and we continue to expect to improve our liquidity as we navigate the remainder of the year.

Other Financial Information

Capital expenditures were $12.0 million during the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $(0.7) million or 6% compared to the second quarter of 2025. Capital expenditures net of asset sales and other proceeds were $7.8 million during the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $(3.3) million or 30% compared to capital expenditures net of asset sales of $11.1 in the second quarter of 2025. Capital spending during the third quarter was driven primarily by maintenance capital expenditures across our segments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Loss per share, Unlevered and Levered Free Cash Flow, Net Working Capital, Net Debt, Consolidated Net Loss Margin and Segment Operating Income (Loss) Margin measures. Each of the metrics are "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net earnings or cash flows as determined by GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for (i) goodwill and/or long-lived asset impairment charges, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) restructuring charges, (iv) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions and (v) other expenses or charges to exclude certain items that we believe are not reflective of the ongoing performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is used to calculate the Company's leverage ratio, consistent with the terms of the Company's ABL Facility.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to supplement the GAAP measures in order to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Adjusted EBITDA margin is not a measure of net earnings or cash flows as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as the quotient of Adjusted EBITDA and total revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA margin is useful because it allows us to supplement the GAAP measures in order to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure, as a percentage of revenues.

We define Adjusted Net Loss as consolidated net loss adjusted for (i) goodwill and/or long-lived asset impairment charges, (ii) restructuring charges, (iii) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions and (iv) other expenses or charges to exclude certain items that we believe are not reflective of the ongoing performance of our business. We believe Adjusted Net Loss is useful because it allows us to exclude non-recurring items in evaluating our operating performance.

We define Adjusted Diluted Loss per share as the quotient of Adjusted Net Loss and diluted weighted average common shares. We believe that Adjusted Diluted Loss per share provides useful information to investors because it allows us to exclude non-recurring items in evaluating our operating performance on a diluted per share basis.

We define Unlevered Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and proceeds from sale of property and equipment and other proceeds plus cash interest expense. We define Levered Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and proceeds from sale of property and equipment and other proceeds. Our management uses Unlevered and Levered Free Cash Flow to assess the Company's liquidity and ability to repay maturing debt, fund operations and make additional investments. We believe that each of Unlevered and Levered Free Cash Flow provide useful information to investors because it is an important indicator of the Company's liquidity, including our ability to reduce Net Debt and make strategic investments.

Net Working Capital is calculated as current assets, excluding cash, less current liabilities, excluding accrued interest, current portion of long-term debt, operating lease obligations and finance lease obligations. We believe that Net Working Capital provides useful information to investors because it is an important indicator of the Company's liquidity.

We define Net Debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. We believe that Net Debt provides useful information to investors because it is an important indicator of the Company's indebtedness.

We define Consolidated net loss margin as the quotient of consolidated net loss and total revenue. We define Segment operating income (loss) margin as the quotient of segment operating income (loss) and segment revenue. We believe that Consolidated net loss margin and Segment operating income (loss) margin provide useful information to investors to understand and evaluate core operating performance and trends across fiscal periods.

The following tables present a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the periods indicated:
