Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. plans to acquire Distributed Power Solutions, LLC for approximately $675.0 million in a cash-and-equity deal. The consideration includes $575.0 million in cash at closing and 2,401,278 shares of Kodiak common stock valued at about $100.0 million.
The acquisition aims to add about 384 MW of Caterpillar-powered distributed generation assets and expand Kodiak beyond gas compression into fast‑growing end markets such as data centers and microgrids.

Positive
- Strategic expansion and stated accretion: Kodiak plans to acquire DPS for approximately $675.0 million, adding about 384 MW of Caterpillar-powered distributed generation focused on data centers and microgrids, and states the deal is expected to be accretive to earnings and discretionary cash flow per share.
Negative
- Higher leverage and equity issuance: The transaction is primarily funded with $575.0 million of borrowings under Kodiak’s ABL facility and about $100.0 million of new equity, raising pro forma leverage toward a 3.5x–4.0x range and causing dilution from 2,401,278 newly issued shares.

Kodiak Gas Services agreed to buy Distributed Power Solutions for approximately $675.0 million, using $575.0 million of cash funded on its ABL facility and about $100.0 million in equity via 2,401,278 new shares.

(“LMC” and, together with Mustang, each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) and Distributed Power Solutions, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“DPS”), pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in DPS from the Sellers for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $675.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition”), consisting of (i) $575.0 million of cash to be paid at closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) and (ii) 2,401,278 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), with a value of approximately $100.0 million, to be issued at the Closing (such shares of Common Stock, the “Stock Consideration”).
Completion of the Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement (subject to certain qualifications), (ii) the performance by the parties to the Purchase Agreement of their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement in all material respects, (iii) the absence of legal restraints preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, including the Acquisition and (iv) the absence of the occurrence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Sellers and DPS. The Acquisition is currently expected to close in early April 2026, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including the expiration or termination of all waiting periods imposed under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”).
The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights, including: (i) by either the Buyer or the Sellers if the Closing has not occurred prior to May 31, 2026 (the “Outside Date”), provided the terminating party is not then in breach, and provided that the parties may extend the Outside date for up to 30 days if such failure to satisfy the closing conditions is a result of the failure to obtain any necessary governmental or regulatory approvals; (ii) by the Buyer, if there exists a breach of representations and warranties or covenants of Sellers or the Company, such that a closing condition would not be satisfied (subject to Sellers’ right to extend the Outside Date and to have 30 days after receipt of notice from Buyer in order for Sellers to cure); (iii) by the Sellers, if there exists a breach of representations and warranties or covenants of Buyer, such that a closing condition would not be satisfied (subject to Buyer’s right to extend the Outside Date and to have 30 days after receipt of notice from Sellers in order for Buyer to cure); (iv) by either the Buyer or the Sellers if there is in effect a final, non-appealable order prohibiting, enjoining, restricting or making illegal the consummation of the transactions; or (v) at any time by mutual written agreement of the Buyer and the Sellers. The Purchase Agreement provides that upon the termination by the Sellers as a result of a breach of the representations and warranties or covenants of Buyer under the Purchase Agreement (subject to no other existing breaches by Sellers or the Company), the Buyer may be required to pay the Sellers a termination fee of $37.125 million.

The Sellers have agreed to indemnify the Buyer and the Company and their respective affiliates, equity holders, partners, members, directors, officers, managers, employees and agents against certain losses resulting from any breach of a representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of the Sellers and for certain other matters; provided, the Company will obtain a representations and warranties insurance policy (the “RWI Policy”), and notwithstanding the foregoing, such coverage will serve as the Company’s sole remedy with respect to any breach of the Acquired Company’s representations and warranties, excluding claims related to the Acquired Company’s fraud, certain other matters and, for a period of one year after Closing, claims related to certain fundamental representations not covered under the RWI Policy solely up to the retention under the RWI Policy. The cost of the RWI Policy is borne entirely by the Company, and coverage under the RWI Policy is subject to customary deductibles and certain exclusions.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, in connection with the Closing, the Company and the Sellers will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will grant the Seller certain rights to require the Company to file and maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to the resale of the common units to be issued as the Stock Consideration, and under certain circumstances, to require the Company to initiate underwritten offerings for the common units to be issued as the Unit Consideration.

The form of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement is attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit D.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. This presentation contains certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin percentage, adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA percentage, discretionary cash flow and free cash flow. Such non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the most directly comparable measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, such non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. However, we believe these non- GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, they provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone. See the Supplemental Slides for reconciliation of non-GAAP measures. Industry & Market Data. The market data and certain other statistical information used throughout this presentation are based on independent industry publications, government publications or other published independent sources. Although we believe these third-party sources are reliable as of their respective dates, we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of this information. Some data is also based on our good faith estimates and our management’s understanding of industry conditions. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these publications. Intellectual Property. This presentation contains trademarks, trade names and service marks of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners. We do not intend our use or display of other parties’ trademarks, trade names or service marks to imply, and such use or display should not be construed to imply, a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, these other parties.
