Revenue by Segment
Forward Guidance
The company expects the first quarter results to be negatively impacted by normalized seasonality, the Polar Vortex in January and safety standdowns for two separate customers due to non-KLX safety incidents. Based on current schedules, KLX expects to exit the first quarter on a strong monthly run-rate and to approach 2023 levels of quarterly revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter and beyond.
Positive Outlook
- Expect to exit the first quarter on a strong monthly run-rate
- Approach 2023 levels of quarterly revenue in the second quarter and beyond
- Approach 2023 levels of Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter and beyond
- Forward natural gas strip is highly constructive into 2025 and 2026 due to the much-anticipated incremental LNG offtake demand
- Global LNG demand is expected to double over the next two years and we believe this increase will drive incremental natural gas-directed activity that will ultimately lift and support service pricing and utilization across all basins
Challenges Ahead
- First quarter results to be negatively impacted by normalized seasonality
- First quarter results to be negatively impacted by the Polar Vortex in January
