Second Quarter 2026 Financial and Operational Highlights
Revenue of $167 million, a 16% increase over first quarter 2026 Net loss of $(8) million and diluted loss per share of $(0.41), improved 65% and 67% over first quarter 2026, respectively Adjusted EBITDA of $19 million, a 68% increase over first quarter 2026 Net loss margin of (5)%, an improvement of 70% over first quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 11%, a 46% increase over first quarter 2026 Total liquidity of $53 million, consisting of approximately $8 million of cash and cash equivalents On June 2, 2026, closed the acquisition of Wolf Pack Rentals, LLC (the "Wolf Pack Acquisition") and recorded a related bargain purchase gain of $6.5 million
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 second quarter results were in line with our expectations. Revenue was $167 million, essentially at the midpoint of our guidance and up $23 million, or 16%, from the first quarter, inclusive of one month of contribution from the Wolf Pack Acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA was $19 million, up 68% sequentially, with margins improving to 11%. That step-up was driven by higher activity levels and better absorption of our cost structure, and Adjusted EBITDA also tracked with what we expected coming into the quarter.
"Wolf Pack contributed $3.4 million of revenue in June, implying a current annual revenue run-rate of $41 million, comparing favorably to their full year 2025 result. Integration has proceeded swiftly and seamlessly to date with numerous cross-selling opportunities driven by the combined team being realized. Our full-year synergy estimate has now increased to approximately $2.5 million. Excluding Wolf Pack, the base business grew more than 13% sequentially, outpacing the 5.8% increase in U.S. Land Rig Count, which reflects steady demand and solid execution across the portfolio led by sequential revenue growth in coiled tubing, directional drilling, technical services and accommodations.
"Looking ahead to the third quarter, we expect revenue in the range of $176 to $188 million, with a midpoint of $182 million, which is $15 million higher than the second quarter. Excluding Wolf Pack from both periods, the midpoint implies mid-single-digit sequential growth in the base business at a time when broader expectations are for flat activity. We expect margins to continue to increase as activity builds, driving better fixed cost absorption," concluded Baker.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $167.3 million, an increase of 15.6% compared to the first quarter of 2026 revenue of $144.7 million. The increase in revenue reflects a seasonal market activity increase. On a product line basis, completion, drilling, production and intervention services contributed approximately 52%, 23%, 16% and 9%, respectively, to revenue for the second quarter of 2026.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $(8.4) million, compared to the first quarter of 2026 net loss of $(24.0) million. Adjusted net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $(13.2) million, compared to the first quarter of 2026 adjusted net loss of $(23.0) million. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 was $18.7 million, compared to the first quarter of 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $11.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 11.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2026 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 7.7%.
Second Quarter 2026 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, $0.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2026. Second quarter revenue represents a 31.6% sequential increase over the first quarter of 2026, driven by coiled tubing, tech services and wireline. Segment operating income increased sequentially and segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 200.0% sequentially. This quarter-over-quarter improvement in income and margin was a function of higher utilization in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2026. Southwest: Revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA for the Southwest segment, which includes the Permian and South Texas, was $64.5 million, $0.1 million and $7.6 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2026. Second quarter revenue represents a 20.3% sequential increase over the first quarter of 2026, driven by coiled tubing, directional drilling and accommodations. Segment operating income increased sequentially and segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 65.2% sequentially due to higher utilization in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2026. Northeast/Mid-Con: Revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA for the Northeast/Mid-Con segment was $52.0 million, $5.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2026. Second quarter revenue represents a 1.0% sequential decrease over the first quarter of 2026, driven by a decrease in flowback, offset by increases in directional drilling and accommodations. Segment operating income increased by 70.0% and segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.7% as compared to the first quarter of 2026 due to improved utilization and decreased white space. Corporate and other: Operating loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss for the Corporate and other segment were $(3.4) million and $(7.7) million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2026. Segment operating loss decreased due to the $6.5 bargain purchase gain recognized in relation to the Wolf Pack Acquisition, and Adjusted EBITDA loss increased slightly to include higher fixed costs in the current quarter.
The following is a tabular summary of revenue, operating income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (loss) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 and the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 ($ in millions).

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.9 million and the Company had availability of $45.4 million under the asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") borrowing base certificate, including availability on an undrawn first-in-last-out facility, resulting in a total liquidity position of $53.3 million.
Net Working Capital as of June 30, 2026 was $46.0 million, a (15)% decrease from March 31, 2026 driven by additional liabilities included on the balance sheet as part of the Wolf Pack Acquisition, as well as timing of payrolls. We expect to operate with a lower cash balance than in prior years due to the flexibility provided by the new ABL Facility, a management strategy of minimizing interest expense, and we expect to incur an additional working capital build to support an expected increase in activity in the third quarter of 2026.
Other Financial Information
Capital expenditures were $8.6 million during the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $0.1 million or (1)% compared to capital expenditures of $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2026. Capital expenditures net of asset sales were $6.4 million during the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $1.1 million or 21% compared to capital expenditures net of asset sales of $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2026. Capital spending during the second quarter was driven primarily by maintenance capital expenditures across our segments.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $1.0 million of assets held for sale related to one facility and other equipment.
