“Our outstanding first quarter results were driven by solid execution and our operational transformation from prior and ongoing investments in our high-quality asset base and innovative processes and technology,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We maintained record equipment utilization and, excluding asset sales, grew our operating fleet by over 70,000 horsepower. In addition, we delivered outstanding profitability in both business segments and maintained our sector-leading balance sheet, including a leverage ratio of 3.2x.
“Our excellent underlying business performance and financial strength have positioned us to participate in value-creating industry consolidation. The integration of Total Operations and Production Services is progressing as planned and during the first quarter, we also announced the strategic acquisition of NGCS. The addition of complementary, large horsepower and electric compression assets further enhances our earnings power and position as a premier provider of natural gas compression services.
“We believe our production-oriented business, high-graded operation and outstanding financial position provide us with differentiated cash flow stability. These factors, combined with our robust and committed backlog, give us good visibility into our outlook this coming year, even in the face of macroeconomic uncertainty.
“We are committed to our prudent and returns-based capital allocation approach. Our cash available for dividend coverage remains over 3.0x, we’ve repurchased approximately 977,000 shares totaling
