HOUSTON, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Koil Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: KLNG), a specialist in deepwater energy production and distribution equipment and services, released today its second quarter 2025 results and announced three new projects.

“After a modest first half of 2025, momentum is building. Today, we announced three new projects, and recent weeks have brought a sharp rise in service activity and robust order intake on fixed‑price contracts,” said Erik Wiik, President and Chief Executive Officer of KOIL Energy. “These are clear indicators of strengthening demand heading into the second half of the year.”

Second Quarter 2025 Results:

For the three months ending June 30, 2025, Koil Energy generated revenue of $5.2 million and adjusted EBITDA of $163,000, resulting in a 3% margin. These results represent a 10% decrease in revenue compared to the second quarter of the previous year. Gross margin equaled 33%, driven by increased headcount combined with lower labor utilization early in the quarter. Accordingly, net income was at 1.2% of revenue. At quarter-end, the Company's cash on hand was $2.2 million. While our team responded to the increased order intake with solid top-line throughput in June, it did not offset the gap created earlier in the quarter.

The increase in headcount is intentional and aligned with our vision for long-term growth. We remain watchful to balance growth with profitability, ensuring that these investments deliver near-term results. These investments, which impacted second quarter margins, have positioned us to execute on the growth plan we have set for the company. We now have the necessary capabilities in place to successfully execute the increased workload ahead.

Business Update:

We are excited to announce the following new projects:

• KOIL Energy has been awarded a significant subsea tie-back project in the Gulf of America. The scope of work includes subsea distribution equipment and commissioning services for a major international oil company.  
• KOIL Energy has been awarded a significant cable management services project for a renewable energy project including 5 months of continuous assignments for our service team.
• KOIL Energy has been selected as the supplier for a major international greenfield project, which includes the design and manufacture of over 20 of our proprietary subsea flying leads. This represents our largest project in almost a decade and will be carried out over the next 15 months at our Houston, Texas facility. Follow-on service work is expected to be awarded at a later stage.
  
  

Our focus has remained firmly on driving growth and executing our strategic plan. In addition to the significant and major projects mentioned, our sales team achieved a steady flow of new service contracts - clear signs of strong and accelerating momentum. With these large wins, along with a robust pipeline of high-probability opportunities, we are well-positioned to drive revenue growth over the next four quarters.

KOIL Energy will host an investor conference call to review its second quarter 2025 results on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at 10:00 am Eastern Time.
