Insights

Archrock delivered materially stronger Q3 results, raised full‑year adjusted EBITDA guidance, and increased shareholder returns.

Revenue rose to $382.4 million and GAAP net income to $71.2 million with adjusted EBITDA of $220.9 million, up sharply year‑over‑year; management raised full‑year adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $835 million$850 million. These outcomes reflect higher contract operations revenue, a larger operating fleet (4.7 million operating horsepower), improved adjusted gross margin (73% reported; 70% excluding a $9.9 million tax benefit), and active capital allocation via a 20% higher quarterly dividend and an increased $100 million repurchase authorization.

Key dependencies and risks include the one‑time items disclosed that affected adjusted figures (tax audit benefit, asset sale gains, acquisition and divestiture timing) and the stated use of non‑GAAP measures to present performance. Watch operating leverage and free cash flow conversion metrics relative to the raised guidance, the announced $345–$355 million growth capex plan for 2026 referenced by management, and leverage (long‑term debt $2.6 billion, leverage ratio 3.1% at 9/30/2025). Monitor near‑term items: the dividend payment on 11/13/2025 and the conference call on 10/29/2025 for management commentary and any guidance detail updates within the next quarter.

Management Commentary and Outlook

“Third quarter performance again demonstrated the strength of our operations and the natural gas and compression markets through outstanding customer service, excellent operational execution and stellar profitability,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We grew our fleet by 56,000 horsepower sequentially, after adjusting for asset sales, and our team drove further expansion in contract operations revenue and adjusted gross margin. We continued to increase net income and adjusted EBITDA and delivered a leverage ratio of 3.1x. Our quarterly dividend per share is up 20% year over year and we repurchased 1,094,516 shares totaling approximately $25 million during the third quarter.

“We expect the U.S. natural gas infrastructure build out that has supported robust 2025 performance to continue into 2026 and beyond. Strength in the outlook is underpinned by visible growth in natural gas demand for U.S. LNG exports and emerging demand for AI-driven power. Our expectation is further confirmed by strong compression customer activity, which we continue to believe will require a minimum of $250 million in growth capex for 2026 across several basins, led by the Permian. As this structural upturn in natural gas production and compression continues to take hold, we are focused on demonstrating our attractive and durable earnings power and free cash flow generation,” concluded Childers.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Archrock’s third quarter 2025 net income of $71.2 million included a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $4.7 million, transaction-related costs totaling $1.8 million, and restructuring charges of $0.7 million. Archrock’s third quarter 2024 net income of $37.5 million included transaction-related expenses totaling $9.2 million, a debt extinguishment loss of $3.2 million, as well as a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $2.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 included a net benefit to contract operations cost of sales of $9.9 million as a result of sales and use tax audit settlements as well as $3.8 million in net gains related to the sale of compression and other assets, partially offset by a non-recurring $3.6 million amendment fee for our MaCH4 natural gas liquid recovery new venture agreement with FGC Holdco, which is reflected in other expense. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 included $2.2 million in net gains related to the sale of compression and other assets.

Contract Operations

For the third quarter of 2025, contract operations segment revenue totaled $326.3 million, an increase of 33% compared to $245.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. Total operating horsepower at the end of the third quarter of 2025 was 4.7 million, compared to 4.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2024. Utilization at the end of the third quarter of 2025 was 96%, compared to 95% at the end of the third quarter of 2024.

Pricing on our installed base continued to increase on a sequential basis during the third quarter of 2025. Third quarter 2025 revenue per average operating horsepower per month and cost per average operating horsepower per month both declined compared to the second quarter of 2025, however, due to the full quarter impact of the acquisition of Natural Gas Compression Systems, Inc. and NGCSE, Inc. and due to an increase in our average unit size from 899 horsepower per unit to 927 horsepower per unit. The increase in our average unit size was the result of our divestment of small, high-pressure gas lift compression, which closed on August 1, 2025.

Adjusted gross margin for the third quarter of 2025 was $239.6 million, up 45% from $165.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted gross margin percentage for the third quarter of 2025 was 73%, compared to 67% in the third quarter of 2024. Excluding the aforementioned $9.9 million tax benefit during the third quarter of 2025, adjusted gross margin percentage for the third quarter of 2025 was 70%.

Aftermarket Services

For the third quarter of 2025, aftermarket services segment revenue totaled $56.2 million, compared to $46.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted gross margin for the third quarter of 2025 was $13.0 million, compared to $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted gross margin percentage for the third quarter of 2025 was 23%, compared to 26% for the third quarter of 2024.

Balance Sheet

Long-term debt was $2.6 billion, and our available liquidity totaled $728 million at September 30, 2025. Our leverage ratio was 3.1x as of September 30, 2025, compared to 3.6x as of September 30, 2024.

Shareholder Returns

Quarterly Dividend

Our Board of Directors recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share of common stock, or $0.84 per share on an annualized basis. Dividend coverage in the third quarter of 2025 was 3.7x. The third quarter 2025 dividend will be paid on November 13, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 4, 2025.

Share Repurchase Program

During the third quarter, we repurchased 1,094,516 shares of common stock at an average price of $23.18 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $25.4 million. Since April 2023 and through October 22, 2025, we have repurchased 3,942,161 shares of common stock at an average price of $20.21 per share for an aggregate of $79.7 million.

The Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company’s share repurchase program by an additional $100 million through December 31, 2026, resulting in available capacity of $130.4 million as of October 22, 2025.

_______________
(1)
2025 annual guidance for net income includes $16.5 million of long-lived and other asset impairment as of September 30, 2025, but does not include the impact of any such future costs, because due to its nature, it cannot be accurately forecasted. Long-lived and other asset impairment does not impact adjusted EBITDA or cash available for dividend, however it is a reconciling item between these measures and net income. Long-lived and other asset impairment for the years 2024 and 2023 was $10.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively.
(2) Reflects an estimate of expenses incurred related to the acquisitions of Total Operations and Production Services, LLC (“TOPS”) and Natural Gas Compression Systems, Inc. and NGCSE, Inc. (“NGCS”).
(3) Management believes adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because this non-GAAP measure, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone. Management uses this non-GAAP measure as a supplemental measure to review current period operating performance, comparability measure and performance measure for period-to-period comparisons.
(4) Management uses cash available for dividend as a supplemental performance measure to compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned dividends.
(5) A forward-looking estimate of cash provided by operating activities is not provided because certain items necessary to estimate cash provided by operating activities, including changes in assets and liabilities, are not estimable at this time. Changes in assets and liabilities were $(25.8) million and $(28.0) million for the years 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(1) Basic and diluted net income 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 net income per common share.

Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period-to-period comparisons.

_______________
(1)
2025 annual guidance for net income includes $16.5 million of long-lived and other asset impairment as of September 30, 2025, but does not include the impact of any such future costs, because due to its nature, it cannot be accurately forecasted. Long-lived and other asset impairment does not impact Adjusted EBITDA or cash available for dividend, however it is a reconciling item between these measures and net income. Long-lived and other asset impairment for the years 2024 and 2023 was $10.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively.
(2) Reflects an estimate of expenses to be incurred related to the TOPS and NGCS acquisitions.
(3) Management believes adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because this non-GAAP measure, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone. Management uses this non-GAAP measure as a supplemental measure to review current period operating performance, comparability measure and performance measure for period-to-period comparisons.
(4) Management uses cash available for dividend as a supplemental performance measure to compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned dividends.
(5) A forward-looking estimate of cash provided by operating activities is not provided because certain items necessary to estimate cash provided by operating activities, including changes in assets and liabilities, are not estimable at this time. Changes in assets and liabilities were $(25.8) million and $(28.0) million for the years 2024 and 2023, respectively.
