(“KLX Energy Services” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: KLXE), a leading U.S. onshore provider of value-added, mission critical oilfield services focused on completion, intervention and production activities, completed the spin-off from KLX Inc. into an independent, publicly-owned company on Friday, September 14, 2018. On April 30, 2018, KLX Inc. agreed to sell its Aerospace Solutions business to The Boeing Company in a $4.25 billion all cash transaction valued at 15.7X 2017 EBITDA, after having previously sold the KLX Inc. predecessor company, B/E Aerospace to Rockwell Collins for $8.6 billion or approximately 14X LTM EBITDA. The sale to The Boeing Company is expected to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2018.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of KLX Energy Services, Amin J. Khoury commented, “As a stand-alone public company, we will be focused on expanding our product service lines (“PSLs”) and growing market shares within each geographic area. The Company also plans to pursue sector consolidation in order to add new services and product lines that are additive to the existing portfolio and by continuing to develop next generation proprietary tools.”
Mr. Khoury continued, “As reported in the KLX Inc. second quarter earnings release, the Energy Services business reported strong results for the period ended July 31, 2018, with revenues up approximately 60 percent and Adjusted EBITDA up approximately 600 percent, as compared to the same period of the prior year.”
KLX Energy Services will begin “regular-way” trading on the NASDAQ on September 17, 2018.
