NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except per share amounts or where otherwise indicated) (unaudited) 1. Description of Business Natural Gas Services Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “NGS,” “Natural Gas Services Group,” “we,” “us” or “our”) (a Colorado corporation), is a leading provider of natural gas and electric compression equipment, technology and services to the energy industry. We rent, design, sell, install, service and maintain compressors and related equipment for our customers’ oil and gas production and processing facilities, generally using equipment from OEM suppliers along with limited in-house assembly. We are headquartered in Midland, Texas, with an assembly facility located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and service facilities located in major oil and gas producing basins in the United States (“U.S.”). 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary, NGSG Properties, LLC, which owns the Company’s headquarters office building, and the rabbi trust associated with our deferred compensation plan. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions for the periods presented have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position at March 31, 2025, and the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures normally required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC. In our opinion, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent a fair representation of our financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented. Although we review our products to analyze the nature of our revenue, costs and expenses, the net income and non-GAAP financial measures including EBITDA and Adjusted gross margin are not captured or analyzed by these categories. Our chief executive officer (“CEO”) serves as the CODM and does not make resource allocation decisions or assess the performance of the business based on these categories, but rather on the entire entity in the aggregate. Accordingly, the measures of profit and loss and total assets are effectively those of the Company as a whole as reflected in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on these facts and circumstances, we have concluded that we operate in one business segment. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to the current presentation. In our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, (gains) and losses on the sale of assets have been reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to a stand-alone caption included within total operating income. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03 “ Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense ” (“ASU 2024-03”) which expands annual and interim disclosures for certain types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, selling, general & administrative expenses, and research and development). ASU 2024-03 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures. 5 3. Trade Accounts Receivable The following table summarizes our trade accounts receivable from customers as of the dates presented: March 31, December 31, 2025 2024 Trade accounts receivable Rentals $ 14,339 $ 14,218 Sales and aftermarket services 1,624 2,657 15,963 16,875 Less: Allowance for credit losses ( 548 ) ( 1,249 ) Total trade accounts receivable, net $ 15,415 $ 15,626 Our trade accounts receivable consist of customer obligations due under normal trade terms for (i) operating leases for the use of our compressor equipment, (ii) the sale of compressors and related equipment and (iii) the performance of aftermarket services. Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk Rental revenue and sales from Occidental Permian, LTD. (“Oxy”) in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 amounted to 46 percent and 51 percent of revenue, respectively. No other single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our revenues during these periods. Likewise, Oxy’s accounts receivable balances amounted to 47 percent and 52 percent of our accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. No other customers amounted to more than 10 percent of our accounts receivable as of these dates. Allowance for Credit Losses The following table summarizes the changes in our allowance for credit losses for the periods presented: Three months ended Year ended March 31, December 31, 2025 2024 Beginning balance $ 1,249 $ 823 Provision for credit losses 208 433 Write-offs ( 909 ) ( 7 ) Ending balance $ 548 $ 1,249 Management believes that the allowance is adequate; however, actual write-offs may exceed the recorded allowance. The substantial write-off of the allowance for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflects certain aged receivables that are no longer deemed collectible. 4. Inventory The following table summarizes the components of our inventory, net of allowance for obsolescence, as of the dates presented: March 31, December 31, 2025 2024 Raw materials, net of allowance of $ 1,415 and $ 4,379 , respectively $ 16,930 $ 17,706 Work-in-process 413 345 Inventory - current 17,343 18,051 Raw materials - long term, net of allowance of $ 1,104 and $ 1,488 , respectively — — Total inventory $ 17,343 $ 18,051 Our long-term inventory, which is fully reserved for obsolescence, consists of raw materials that remain viable but with limited market opportunities. 6 The following table summarizes the changes in our allowance for obsolescence for the periods presented: March 31, December 31, 2025 2024 Beginning balance $ 5,867 $ 4,004 Allowance for obsolescence 61 1,863 Write-offs ( 3,409 ) — Ending balance $ 2,519 $ 5,867 The substantial write-off of the allowance for obsolescence during the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflects the disposal of inventory items, including engines, frames and coolers, among other items that were previously held and reserved at our former Midland, Texas fabrication facility. 5. Rental Equipment The following table summarizes our rental equipment and accumulated depreciation as of the dates presented: March 31, December 31, 2025 2024 Compressor units $ 585,043 $ 579,373 Work-in-progress 53,979 51,662 639,022 631,035 Accumulated depreciation ( 214,166 ) ( 216,014 ) Rental equipment, net of accumulated depreciation $ 424,856 $ 415,021 We evaluated our rental equipment for potential impairments as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 and determined that none were present. Depreciation expense for rental equipment was $ 7.7 million and $ 6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. We capitalized interest totaling approximately $ 0.6 million a nd $ 1.2 million , for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respe ctively. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $ 30.0 million of compressor units in work-in-process that were substantially complete, but awaiting final shipment to our customer locations, upon which we did not capitalize interest at the end of the period. The reduction in capitalized interest for the 2025 period was due to the cessation of capitalization on the large number of units that were substantially complete as noted. 6. Property and Equipment The following table summarizes our property and equipment as of the dates presented: March 31, December 31, 2025 2024 Land $ 1,680 $ 1,680 Building 19,140 19,140 Leasehold improvements 1,346 1,346 Office equipment and furniture 2,057 2,057 Software 898 589 Machinery and equipment 4,754 4,430 Vehicles 13,048 12,739 Work-in-progress 104 168 43,027 42,149 Less accumulated depreciation ( 19,457 ) ( 19,160 ) Total $ 23,570 $ 22,989 Depreciation expense for property and equipment was $ 0.9 million and $ 0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. 7 7. Supplemental Balance Sheet Disclosures The following table summarizes the components of accrued liabilities as of the dates presented: March 31, December 31, 2025 2024 Accrued purchases $ 1,967 $ 2,085 Compensation 3,747 3,483 Right of use obligations 165 153 Interest 246 269 Sales taxes 324 355 Other 1,019 1,343 $ 7,468 $ 7,688 8. Long-Term Debt Our outstanding long-term debt consists of the following, as of the dates presented: March 31, December 31, 2025 2024 Credit facility $ 168,000 $ 170,000 We have a senior secured revolving credit agreement, as amended (the “Credit Facility”) with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (the “Lender”) as administrative agent, and TCBI Securities, Inc., Bank of America, N.A., and the Huntington National Bank as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners. On April 18, 2025, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) with the Lender and certain other lenders to (i) increase the total commitment to $ 400.0 million from $ 300.0 million, (ii) expand the accordion feature to $ 100.0 million from $ 50.0 million, (iii) reduce the interest rates by 50 to 75 basis points at comparable leverage levels and (iv) provide for a more flexible leverage covenant beginning on June 30, 2026. In connection with the Fourth Amendment, we incurred fees of $ 1.1 million. The Credit Facility provides for a total commitment of $ 400.0 million. We also have a right to request from the Lender an increase to the potential aggregate commitment of up to $ 100.0 million; provided, however, the aggregate commitment amount is not permitted to exceed $ 500.0 million. The obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on most of our assets, including inventory and certain accounts receivable as well as a variable number of our leased compressor units. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is February 28, 2028. As of March 31, 2025, we had $ 168.0 million outstanding under our Credit Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 7.93 %. As of March 31, 2025, prior to the effective date of the Fourth Amendment, we had approximately $ 132.0 million available for borrowing under the Credit Facility, subject to a borrowing base determination. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our Credit Facility. Borrowing Base . At any time before the maturity of the Credit Facility, we may draw, repay and re-borrow amounts available under the borrowing base up to the maximum aggregate availability discussed above. Generally, the borrowing base equals the sum of (a) 85 % of eligible accounts receivable owed to us, plus (b) 50 % of the eligible inventory, valued at the lower of cost or market value at such time, subject to a cap of this component not to exceed $ 2.5 million, plus (c) the lesser of (i) 95 % of the net book value of the compressors that the Lender has determined are eligible for the extension of credit, valued at the lower of cost or market value with depreciation not to exceed 25 years, at such time and (ii) 80 % of the net liquidation value percentage of the net book value of the eligible compressors that the Lender has determined are eligible for the extension of credit, valued at the lower of cost or market value with depreciation not to exceed 25 years, at such time, plus (d) 80 % of the net book value, valued at the lower of cost (excluding any costs for capitalized interest or other noncash capitalized costs) or market of the eligible new compressor fleet, minus (e) any required availability reserves determined by the Lender in its sole discretion. The Lender may adjust the borrowing base components if material deviations in the collateral are discovered in future audits of the collateral. 8 Interest and Fees. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we have the option of selecting the applicable variable rate for each revolving loan, or portion thereof, of either (a) the Base Rate (as defined below) plus the Applicable Margin, or (b) in the case of a Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Loan, the Adjusted Term SOFR rate plus the Applicable Margin. “Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate of interest per annum equal to the highest of (a) the prime rate for such day; (b) the sum of the federal funds rate for such day plus 0.50 %; and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR for such day plus 1.00 %. The Applicable Margin is determined based upon the leverage ratio as set forth in the most recent compliance certificate received by the Lender for each fiscal quarter from time to time pursuant to the Credit Facility. Depending on the leverage ratio, the Applicable Margin can be 1.50 % to 2.25 % for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Facility) and 2.50 % to 3.25 % for Term SOFR Loans and for requested letters of credit. In addition, we are required to pay a monthly commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of the commitment while the Credit Facility is in effect at an annual rate equal to 0.375 % of the unused commitment amount. Accrued interest is payable monthly on outstanding principal amounts and unused commitment fee, provided that accrued interest on Term SOFR Loans is payable at the end of each interest period, but in no event less frequently than quarterly. Covenants. The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, as well as covenants which, among other things, condition or limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; make acquisitions in excess of certain amounts; pay dividends; redeem or repurchase capital stock or senior notes; make investments or loans; make negative pledges; consolidate, merge or effect asset sales; or change the nature of our business. In addition, we are subject to certain financial covenants in the Credit Facility that require us to maintain (i) a leverage ratio, as defined, less than or equal to (a) 3.75 to 1.00 for fiscal quarters ending on March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, (b) and 3.50 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. Events of Default and Acceleration . The Credit Facility contains customary events of default for credit facilities of this size and type, and includes, without limitation, payment defaults; defaults in performance of covenants or other agreements contained in the Credit Facility and the other transaction documents; inaccuracies in representations and warranties; certain defaults, termination events or similar events; certain defaults with respect to any other Company indebtedness in excess of $ 1.0 million; certain bankruptcy or insolvency events; the rendering of certain judgments in excess of $ 1.0 million; certain ERISA events; certain change in control events and the defectiveness of any liens. Obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default. 9. Income Taxes On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits federal income tax net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid federal income taxes. We generated significant NOLs during 2018 and 2019 and filed carryback claims for these losses to the preceding five years. In connection with the filing of these claims, we initially recorded a federal income tax receivable of approximately $ 15.0 million and an increase of approximately $ 10.1 million to our deferred tax liability as of March 31, 2020. During 2020, we received federal income tax refunds corresponding to the 2018 NOL carryback leaving approximately $ 11.3 million remaining to be refunded. In conjunction with the remaining $ 11.3 million income tax refund claim, we received a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on March 8, 2023, stating that our income tax returns for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 were selected for examination. Furthermore and as is customary for income tax refunds of this magnitude, the IRS is required to review the refund claim and provide a report to the Joint Committee on Taxation of the U.S. Congress (“JCT”). Our request for refund was formally submitted to the JCT for their review and we are currently awaiting their response. 9 10. Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, we are a party to various claims and legal proceedings arising from our operations in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any threatened material litigation. While the outcome of any potential claims and legal proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, we have concluded that it is not considered reasonably possible that a loss resulting from any such claims or proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Furthermore, we believe that we maintain adequate insurance coverage against any potential litigation loss relating to insurable risks. 11. Revenues from Customers Disaggregation of Revenue The following table summarizes our revenue disaggregated by product or service type for the periods presented: Three months ended March 31, 2025 2024 Rental $ 38,910 $ 33,734 Sales Compressors 821 1,283 Other (Parts/Rebuilds) 1,106 1,220 1,927 2,503 Aftermarket services 546 670 Total revenue $ 41,383 $ 36,907 No amounts were recognized in revenue attributable to deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025. We recognized $ 0.4 million in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, that was included in accrued liabilities as deferred revenue at the beginning of 2024. Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had no deferred revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations. Contract Costs We recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included within Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 12. Stock-Based and Other Long-Term Incentive Compensation We maintain two stockholder approved plans for the issuance of stock-based compensation awards to our employees and Board of Director members: (i) the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), and (ii) the 1998 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “Stock Option Plan”). The following table summarizes the total stock-based compensation expense recognized during the periods presented: Three months ended March 31, 2025 2024 Equity-classified $ 359 $ 274 Liability-classified (1) — — $ 359 $ 274 (1) Represents compensation expense associated with awards that may be settled in cash at the option of the grantee including a nominal amount (less than $ 1 thousand) during the 2025 period and none during the 2024 period. 10 1998 Stock Option Plan The Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options to our employees for up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock.

After consideration of the activity described in detail below, a total of 166,975 shares remained available for grant under the Equity Incentive Plan as of March 31, 2025. Time-Vested RSUs The following table summarizes all restricted stock and RSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 is presented below: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding, December 31, 2024 131,183 $ 16.39 5.15 $ 3,516 Granted 55,859 $ 22.19 $ 1,240 Exercised ( 22,891 ) $ 15.46 $ 580 Canceled/Forfeited — $ — $ — Outstanding, March 31, 2025 164,151 $ 18.50 4.81 $ 3,606 As of March 31, 2025, there was a total of approximately $ 2.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock and RSUs which is expected to be recognized over the next 2.5 years. Cash Settled RSUs The 2024 grant of RSUs to the independent Board members that can be settled in cash represent liability-classified awards. Compensation expense associated with these awards is based upon the fair value of NGS common stock at each reporting period relative to that portion of the service period that has passed. Accordingly, the compensation expense is variable in nature. Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding, December 31, 2024 15,069 $ 19.51 0.50 $ 294 Granted — $ — Vested — $ — Canceled/Forfeited ( 2,810 ) $ 19.57 $ 55 Outstanding, March 31, 2025 12,259 $ 19.50 0.30 $ 239 Performance Share Units The potential payout for the PSU awards is based upon performance for a three-year period ending December 31, 2026 for the 2024 grants and December 31, 2027 for the 2025 grants measured against relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) compared to a peer group of companies as established by the Compensation Committee. The PSU award payout ranges from zero (if the Company ranks below the 31.25 percentile) and up to 200 % (if the Company ranks first) based upon our relative TSR performance ranking (subject to certain caps based on absolute TSR as defined in the PSU agreements). With respect to vesting, the PSUs have both a service condition and a market condition. Due to the presence of the TSR measurement for the common equity of the peer companies, including NGS common stock, which is deemed a “market condition,” the grant-date fair values of the PSUs have been determined using a binomial pricing model, or a Monte Carlo simulation model. 12 The following table summarizes the weighted average grant date fair values of PSUs granted and the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model for the determination of the grant date fair values of our PSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025: Weighted-average grant date fair value of PSUs granted $ 28.05 Risk free rate 3.93 % Expected volatility 43.9 % Expected dividend yield — % The following table summarizes all PSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding, December 31, 2024 56,764 $ 22.47 2.22 $ — Granted 39,434 $ 28.05 $ — Vested — $ — Canceled/Forfeited — $ — Outstanding, March 31, 2025 96,198 $ 24.76 2.38 $ — As of March 31, 2024, there was a total of approximately $ 2.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested portion of the PSUs which is expected to be recognized over the next 2.38 years. 13.
