KLX INC. TO TAKE $11 MILLION AFTER-TAX CHARGE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2015 ASSOCIATED WITH COST REDUCTION INITIATIVES

WELLINGTON, FL, March 2, 2016 — KLX Inc. (NASDAQ: KLXI), today announced that it expects to recognize fourth quarter charges associated with its cost reduction initiatives. Although the cost reduction activities and charges principally relate to its Energy Services Group segment (“ESG”), approximately 30 percent relates to efficiency initiatives in our Aerospace Solutions Group segment (“ASG”).  The charges reflect costs associated with facilities consolidation, workforce reductions and other related costs. The Company plans to consolidate several facilities, and reduce headcount by approximately 400 employees. Total after-tax charges for the associated activities, for both ASG and ESG, are expected to be approximately $11 million.

“The ASG cost reduction initiatives are targeted to achieve a 2016 EBIT margin in excess of 18 percent on an unadjusted basis. The ESG initiatives are expected to further reduce costs and improve efficiencies due to the continuing deterioration in the oil and gas industry as a result of plummeting oil and gas prices driven by excess global supply. Since December 2014, the domestic onshore drilling rig count has declined by approximately 75 percent from 1,848 rigs to 473 rigs, currently. The sharp decrease in activity has resulted in significant reductions in both volume and pricing, which require a further right-sizing of our business. We expect our initiatives will be largely completed by the end of the second quarter of 2016 and believe they will provide substantial progress to move our ESG segment toward our goal of achieving break-even cash flow results in these very challenging times,” said Amin J. Khoury, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of KLX Inc.

As previously reported, the Company intends to release its financial results on Tuesday, March 8, 2016 at 9:00 AM EST.  A live audio broadcast of the conference call, along with a supplemental presentation, will be available on the investor relations page of the KLX website at www.klx.com.
