Rhea-AI Filing Summary

KOIL Energy Solutions, Inc. reported fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, highlighting record quarterly revenue and modest full-year growth alongside weaker profitability. Fourth quarter 2025 revenue reached $7.3 million, up 22% from a year earlier and 14% sequentially, with both services and product sales contributing.

Quarterly gross profit was $2.5 million, or 35% of revenue, down from a 40% margin in 2024 due to a less favorable project mix. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was about 10% of revenue, or $721,000. For full year 2025, revenue was about $24 million, a 6% increase, while adjusted EBITDA declined to $970,000 from $3.5 million in 2024 as the company increased spending on growth initiatives, international expansion, and new rental equipment.

KOIL ended 2025 with total assets of $19.8 million, cash of $1.5 million, and stockholders’ equity of $9.0 million

Insights

Revenue is growing, but margins and EBITDA weakened as KOIL spent heavily on expansion.

KOIL Energy delivered strong top-line momentum with Q4 2025 revenue of $7.3 million, up 22% year over year, and full-year revenue of $24.1 million (a 6% increase). Growth was broad-based across services and fixed-price product contracts.

Profitability, however, moved in the opposite direction. Q4 gross margin compressed from 40% to 35%, and full-year adjusted EBITDA fell sharply to $970,000 from $3.5 million in 2024 as the company increased selling, general and administrative spending and funded new equipment, intellectual property, and Brazil operations.

Cash declined to $1.5 million at December 31, 2025 from $3.4 million the prior year, reflecting negative full-year operating and investing cash flows. Upcoming disclosures around the May 2026 investor conference and future quarters will clarify whether recent awards and the expanded platform can rebuild EBITDA while sustaining growth.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA was 10% of revenue, or a gain of $704,000."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
gross profit financial
"Gross profit for the quarter totaled $2.5 million dollars, or 35% of revenues, compared to $2.4 million dollars, or 40% of revenues, during the fourth quarter of 2024."
Gross profit is the amount a business keeps from sales after subtracting the direct costs to make or buy the products or services sold — like the money left from a lemonade stand after paying for lemons, sugar and cups. Investors watch gross profit to judge how well a company’s core operations and pricing cover those direct costs, revealing its basic profitability and whether margins are improving or shrinking over time.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses financial
"Selling, general, and administrative expenses equaled $2.1 million for the quarter, up $237,000 from the prior year, driven by growth initiatives."
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) are the routine costs a business spends to run day-to-day operations outside of making its product — things like sales staff pay, office rent, marketing, and executive salaries. For investors, SG&A shows how much of revenue is eaten by overhead; like household bills that reduce how much income you can save, rising SG&A can squeeze profit even if sales are steady.
free cash flow financial
"KOIL remained focused on long-term growth by deploying free cash flow to acquire new rental equipment and fund the development of intellectual property, the establishment of our Brazil operations, and international sales."
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

KOIL Energy Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results

 

Mar 31, 2026

 

 

HOUSTON, Mar. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KOIL Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: KLNG), a specialist in deepwater energy production and distribution equipment and services, released today its fourth quarter and full year 2025 results.

 

"We achieved a record revenue of $7.3 million this quarter," said Erik Wiik, President and Chief Executive Officer of KOIL Energy. "Our growth initiatives are delivering profitable growth with an EBITDA margin of 10% while we continue to invest heavily in growth."

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results:

 

For the three months ending December 31, 2025, KOIL Energy generated revenues of $7.3 million dollars. This is 22% higher than Q4 last year and 14% higher than last quarter. Both services and fixed priced contracts experienced significant year-over-year growth. Service revenue grew 24% and fixed priced contracts, or Product sales, increased by 21% compared to Q4 last year. This was driven by an exceptional order intake over the past two quarters.

 

Gross profit for the quarter totaled $2.5 million dollars, or 35% of revenues, compared to $2.4 million dollars, or 40% of revenues, during the fourth quarter of 2024. While profitability was unchanged on a dollar basis, the margin decline reflected a less favorable mix of projects.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses equaled $2.1 million for the quarter, up $237,000 from the prior year, driven by growth initiatives.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was 10% of revenue, or a gain of $704,000.

 

Full Year 2025 Results:

 

For the full year 2025, we achieved revenue of 24 million dollars, marking a 6% year-over-year increase. Adjusted EBITDA was $1 million in 2025 compared to $3.5 million dollars in 2024. The reduction was mainly driven by investments tied to our growth initiatives. KOIL remained focused on long-term growth by deploying free cash flow to acquire new rental equipment and fund the development of intellectual property, the establishment of our Brazil operations, and international sales. These investments are already delivering positive growth results. We are currently refining our growth strategy and setting ambitious new goals through 2030. We look forward to presenting these plans at an in-person and online investor conference in Houston on May 7–8, 2026, held in conjunction with the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC). Formal invitations will be sent shortly.

 

In summary, we remain highly confident in our ability to continue to deliver profitable growth. Recent project awards have positioned us strongly for the upcoming quarters.

 

KOIL will host an investor conference call to review its fourth quarter of 2025 results on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at 10:00 am Eastern Time.

FAQ

How did KOIL Energy Solutions (KLNG) perform in Q4 2025?

KOIL Energy posted record Q4 2025 revenue of about $7.3 million, up 22% year over year and 14% sequentially. Gross margin was 35% versus 40% a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA was roughly $721,000, or 10% of revenue.

What were KOIL Energy Solutions’ full-year 2025 financial results?

For 2025, KOIL Energy generated approximately $24 million in revenue, a 6% increase from 2024. Adjusted EBITDA fell to about $970,000 from $3.5 million, as the company increased spending on growth initiatives, new rental equipment, intellectual property, and international expansion.

How did KOIL Energy’s profitability change in 2025 versus 2024?

Profitability weakened in 2025. Q4 gross margin declined to 35% from 40%, and full-year adjusted EBITDA dropped from roughly $3.5 million to $970,000. Management attributed this decline primarily to higher operating expenses and strategic investments to support long-term growth.

What is KOIL Energy Solutions’ balance sheet position at year-end 2025?

At December 31, 2025, KOIL Energy reported total assets of about $19.8 million and stockholders’ equity of roughly $9.0 million. Cash stood near $1.5 million, down from $3.4 million a year earlier, following negative operating and investing cash flows during 2025.

Is KOIL Energy hosting an event to discuss its 2025 results and strategy?

Yes. KOIL Energy scheduled a conference call on March 31, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to review Q4 2025 results. The company also plans an in-person and online investor conference in Houston on May 7–8, 2026, aligned with the Offshore Technology Conference.

Why did KOIL Energy’s adjusted EBITDA decline despite higher 2025 revenue?

Adjusted EBITDA declined because KOIL Energy increased selling, general and administrative expenses and funded growth initiatives. These included new rental equipment, intellectual property development, and establishing Brazil operations, which weighed on earnings while aiming to support longer-term profitable growth.
