"2023 was a historic year for Kodiak with several noteworthy milestones, including our June IPO, the November initiation of a quarterly dividend, and the announcement of the agreement to acquire CSI Compressco," stated Mickey McKee, Kodiak's founder and Chief Executive Officer. "Financially, we set new annual revenue and Adjusted EBITDA records while at the same time maintaining capital discipline and generating a new Kodiak record level of Free Cash Flow. Our fourth quarter results continued to reflect the strength of our customer-focused strategy with record Adjusted EBITDA and margin improvement in both our Compression Operations and Other Services segments. Kodiak's record-setting year would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our approximately 800 highly-capable employees to provide our customers with unequaled service quality.
"As we look forward, customer demand for large horsepower compression infrastructure continues to be strong, particularly in the Permian Basin, where over 70% of our horsepower is deployed. Our fleet is effectively fully utilized, and we expect this trend to last given the robust multi-year outlook for natural gas to supply the coming wave of LNG export projects. Our pending acquisition of CSI Compressco will give us the largest contract compression fleet in the industry and enhance both our service offerings and the scale of those offerings. Kodiak is fully contracted on our 2024 new unit deliveries, and deep in discussions with our customers on their 2025 needs. In closing, we remain committed to having the safest and most sustainable contract compression fleet in the industry and delivering the high quality of service and industry-leading mechanical availability that our customers have come to expect."

CSI Compressco majority unitholders delivered consents sufficient to approve the Transaction and closing is expected in the second quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval.
Long-Term Debt and Liquidity

The proceeds from the notes offering were used to reduce borrowings under the ABL Facility. The Company intends to use the availability on its ABL Facility to repay CSI Compressco's outstanding indebtedness in full, as well as fees and expenses, in connection with the Transaction.

The Company is unable to reconcile projected Adjusted EBITDA to projected net income (loss), projected Discretionary Cash Flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities and projected Adjusted Gross Margin to projected gross margin, the most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, respectively, without unreasonable efforts because components of the calculations are inherently unpredictable, such as changes to current assets and liabilities, unknown future events, and estimating certain future GAAP measures. The inability to project certain components of the calculation would significantly affect the accuracy of the reconciliations.

Discretionary Cash Flow guidance assumes no change to Secured Overnight Financing Rate futures and that our senior unsecured notes due 2029 remain outstanding for the duration of 2024.

Growth capital expenditures include new compression units, compression unit upgrades, capitalized make-ready costs and capitalized installation costs, as well as expenditures on assets other than compression units required to operate the business. For 2024, growth capital expenditures include approximately $12.5 million of non-unit-related expenditures and are presented net of proceeds from expected facility sales.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, net: income tax expense (benefit); and depreciation and amortization; plus (i) loss on extinguishment of debt; (ii) loss (gain) on derivatives; (iii) equity compensation expense; (iv) transaction expenses; (v) loss (gain) on sale of assets; and (vi) impairment of compression equipment. Adjusted EBITDA Percentage is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and other financial institutions, to assess: (i) the financial performance of our assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of our assets; (ii) the viability of capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities; (iii) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to make debt payments and pay dividends; and (iv) our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in our industry without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Percentage provide useful information because, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, they provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone. We also believe that external users of our financial statements benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating the results of our business. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and net cash provided by operating activities are presented below.
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as revenue less cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage is defined as Adjusted Gross Margin divided by total revenues. We believe Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage are useful as supplemental measures to investors of our operating profitability. Reconciliations of Adjusted Gross Margin to gross margin are presented below.
Discretionary Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less (i) maintenance capital expenditures; (ii) gain (loss) on sale of property, plant and equipment; (iii) certain changes in operating assets and liabilities; and (iv) certain other expenses; plus (x) cash loss on extinguishment of debt; and (y) transaction expenses. We believe Discretionary Cash Flow is a useful liquidity and performance measure and supplemental financial measure for us in assessing our ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, make growth capital expenditures and assess our operating performance. Reconciliations of Discretionary Cash Flow to net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities are presented below.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less (i) maintenance capital expenditures; (ii) gain (loss) on sale of property, plant and equipment; (iii) certain changes in operating assets and liabilities; (iv) certain other expenses; and (v) net growth capital expenditures; plus (x) cash loss on extinguishment of debt; (y) transaction expenses; and (z) proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure and useful supplemental financial measure for us in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments to grow our business and to service our debt. Reconciliations of Free Cash Flow to net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities are presented below.
