Management Commentary and Outlook
“Archrock is off to a strong start for 2026, generating meaningful earnings per share, free cash flow and increased shareholder returns during the first quarter, bolstered by a growing order book that continues to support our longer-term outlook,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our contract operations fleet has delivered full utilization over a multi-year period, and profitability continues to benefit from strong execution and the rollout of additional large and electric motor drive horsepower supporting critical midstream infrastructure. Additionally, we continued to high-grade our fleet with the sale of non-strategic compressor units totaling approximately 40,000 horsepower. First quarter underlying business performance exceeded our basis for guidance, though SG&A expense came in higher. We remain on pace to achieve our full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of between
“As the buildout of U.S. midstream infrastructure continues to support expected growth in LNG exports and rising power demand from data centers, the strategic importance of U.S. energy is further underscored by ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. We are focused on growing our profitable platform by maximizing customer service and operational reliability, accelerating adoption of the technologies we continue to deploy, and leveraging our balance sheet through returns-based capital allocation that provides flexibility for organic and inorganic growth while increasing shareholder returns,” concluded Childers.

(2) Management believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provide useful information to investors because these non-GAAP measures, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review our current period operating performance, comparability measure and performance measure for period-to-period comparisons without burdened earnings and earnings per share for non-recurring transactional costs.
(3) Basic and diluted earnings per common share is computed using the two-class method to determine the net income per share for each class of common stock and participating security (restricted stock and stock-settled restricted stock units that have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents) according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Accordingly, we have excluded net income attributable to participating securities from our calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share.
