Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights

Revenue of $159 million , a 3% increase over first quarter 2025 Net loss of $(20) million and diluted loss per share of $(1.04) Adjusted EBITDA of $19 million , a 34% increase over first quarter 2025 Net loss margin of (13)% Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12%, a 30% increase over first quarter 2025 Total liquidity of $65 million , consisting of approximately $17 million of cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $49 million of available borrowing capacity under the asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") borrowing base certificate, inclusive of the undrawn first-in-last-out ("FILO") capacity

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 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 solid 2025 second quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA results grew as we forecasted. Second quarter revenue was up 3.2% and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 260 basis points sequentially over the 2025 first quarter, despite the US land rig count being down (7.3)% sequentially.

"We continued to focus on the execution of our operational initiatives, including cost management, asset rotation, holding the line on pricing, and leaning into higher-margin work as spot activity remains soft. In the second quarter we saw significant strength and sequential improvement across our completions and production portfolios. Based on current schedules and several green shoots in our gassy basins, we expect the third quarter to be the strongest quarter of the year. We are again targeting a sequential quarterly revenue increase of low to mid-single digits on a percentage basis, with continued margin expansion. We believe KLX's strategic positioning, operational excellence, and improved financial flexibility position us to effectively manage the ongoing volatility in our markets," concluded Baker.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $159.0 million , an increase of 3.2% compared to the first quarter of 2025 revenue of $154.0 million . The increase in revenue reflects a seasonal market activity increase. On a product line basis, drilling, completion, production and intervention services contributed approximately 16%, 56%, 18% and 10%, respectively, to revenue for the second quarter of 2025.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $(19.9) million , compared to the first quarter of 2025 net loss of $(27.9) million . Adjusted net loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $(17.0) million , compared to the first quarter of 2025 adjusted net loss of $(21.9) million . Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was $18.5 million , compared to the first quarter of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $13.8 million . Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 11.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.0%.

Second 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 $54.1 million , $3.3 million and $10.4 million , respectively, for the second quarter of 2025. Second quarter revenue represents a 13.2% sequential increase over the first quarter of 2025, driven by coiled tubing, pressure pumping and tech services. Segment operating income increased sequentially and segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 55.2% sequentially. This quarter-over-quarter improvement in income and margin was a function of higher utilization in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2025. Southwest : Revenue, operating loss and Adjusted EBITDA for the Southwest segment, which includes the Permian and South Texas , was $58.8 million , $(1.7) million and $7.2 million , respectively, for the second quarter of 2025. Second quarter revenue represents a (9.8)% sequential decrease over the first quarter of 2025 largely due to lower revenue from the Permian basin. Segment operating income turned negative and Adjusted EBITDA decreased sequentially (38.5)% due to mix shift and increased white space as the Permian experienced the largest sequential activity decrease in the last seven quarters. Northeast/Mid-Con : Revenue, operating loss and Adjusted EBITDA for the Northeast/Mid-Con segment was $46.1 million , $(1.3) million and $7.2 million , respectively, for the second quarter of 2025. Second quarter revenue represents a 12.4% sequential increase over the first quarter of 2025 due to improved KLX completions utilization and increased regional gas-focused activity. Segment operating loss decreased by 84.0% and segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 166.7% as compared to the first 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 $(9.0) million and $(6.3) million , respectively, for the second quarter of 2025. Segment operating loss decreased due to lower overhead and fixed costs in the current quarter.

The following is a tabular summary of revenue, operating (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA (loss) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 , the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 ($ in millions).

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.7 million and the Company had availability of $48.7 million on the ABL Facility borrowing base certificate, including availability on an undrawn FILO facility, resulting in a total liquidity position of $65.4 million .

Net Working Capital as of June 30, 2025 was $45.9 million , a (23)% decrease from March 31, 2025 driven by a 19% increase in days payable outstanding and non-recurrence of the two extra payrolls that burdened the first quarter. 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 expect to improve our liquidity as we navigate the remainder of the year.

Other Financial Information

Capital expenditures were $12.7 million during the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $2.3 million or (15)% compared to capital expenditures of $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. Capital expenditures net of asset sales were $11.1 million during the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.9 million or 9% compared to capital expenditures net of asset sales of $10.2 in the first quarter of 2025. Capital spending during the second quarter was driven primarily by maintenance capital expenditures across our segments.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $2.2 million of assets held for sale related to two facilities and select equipment in the Rocky Mountains and Southwest segments.

KLX Energy Services Holdings, Inc. Additional Selected Operating Data (Unaudited)

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 and Net Debt 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.
