Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Archrock, Inc. reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $371.2 million, down from $383.2 million a year earlier, while net income increased to $66.7 million and diluted EPS was $0.38 versus $0.36. Adjusted net income was $66.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $212.6 million, essentially flat year over year.

Contract operations revenue rose to $329.3 million with a 71% adjusted gross margin and 94.4% horsepower utilization, though aftermarket services revenue declined to $42.0 million due to lower parts sales and reduced major maintenance activity. Archrock highlighted a long‑term agreement with an existing customer covering approximately 665,000 horsepower and reported a leverage ratio of 2.6x, improved from 3.3x, after redeeming $800.0 million of 6.250% senior notes due 2028.

The company raised its quarterly dividend to $0.23 per share (annualized $0.92) with dividend coverage of 3.1x, and reaffirmed 2026 growth capital expenditures of $250–$275 million plus a multi‑year growth capex opportunity of $1.4–$1.6 billion from 2027 through 2030. Full‑year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance was tightened to $865–$885 million from $865–$915 million, reflecting higher make‑ready and lube oil costs, softer aftermarket demand and higher SG&A from incentive compensation.

Positive

  • Signed a long-term compression contract covering approximately 665,000 horsepower with an eight-year base term and a two-year extension option, supporting multi-year revenue visibility.
  • Reduced leverage ratio to 2.6x at June 30, 2026 from 3.3x a year earlier and redeemed $800.0 million of 6.250% senior notes due 2028.
  • Increased the quarterly dividend to $0.23 per share (annualized $0.92), about 10% above the prior year’s level, while maintaining strong dividend coverage of 3.1x in Q2 2026.

Negative

  • Aftermarket services revenue fell to $42.0 million in Q2 2026 from $64.8 million a year earlier, driven by lower parts sales and reduced major maintenance demand.

Filing Explained

At June 30, Archrock had $631 million of available liquidity, while its $800 million note redemption was funded with revolver borrowings.

Archrock used this Form 8-K’s Item 2.02 disclosure to furnish its completed second-quarter results; the results release is furnished information rather than information filed for Exchange Act Section 18 purposes. For existing common holders, the stated return mechanics are a declared $0.23 quarterly dividend payable on August 11, 2026 and no share repurchases during the quarter; the program had $113.2 million of capacity at June 30, 2026.

The company says it redeemed all $800.0 million of 2028 Notes on April 1, 2026 using borrowings under its $1.5 billion asset-based revolving facility. This changed the debt instrument and maturity profile, but it was a refinancing rather than a stated reduction of that principal through repayment from cash.

At June 30, 2026, Archrock reported $2.3 billion of long-term debt and $631 million of available liquidity. The filing also reports second-quarter adjusted free cash flow of $66,990 thousand and adjusted free cash flow after dividends of $28,366 thousand; these are historical quarter figures, not commitments or forecasts.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure defined below) for the second quarter of 2026 was $212.6 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
cash available for dividend financial
"Cash available for dividend (a non-GAAP measure) is defined as net income excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization"
Cash available for dividend is the portion of a company’s liquid funds that management can safely distribute to shareholders after setting aside money for operating costs, debt obligations, taxes and necessary investment in the business. Investors watch this figure because it shows whether a dividend is sustainable or likely to be raised or cut; think of it as the household money left to spend on extras after paying rent, bills and savings goals.
horsepower utilization financial
"Horsepower utilization spot (at period end) was 94.4% in the second quarter of 2026"
asset-based revolving credit facility financial
"The 2028 Notes were redeemed with borrowings under our $1.5 billion asset-based revolving credit facility due May 2028"
A loan arrangement where a lender agrees to make funds available up to a set limit that a borrower can draw, repay, and draw again, with the amount available tied to the value of specific assets (like inventory, receivables, or equipment) pledged as collateral. It matters to investors because it provides flexible working capital while limiting risk exposure: the company can fund growth or cover shortfalls quickly, but borrowing capacity can shrink if asset values fall.
long-lived and other asset impairment financial
"Archrock’s second quarter 2026 net income of $66.7 million included a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $4.9 million"
Revenue $371.2 million vs $383.2 million in the second quarter of 2025
Net income $66.7 million vs $63.4 million in the second quarter of 2025
Adjusted EBITDA $212.6 million vs $212.7 million in the second quarter of 2025
Diluted EPS $0.38 vs $0.36 in the second quarter of 2025
Guidance

For full-year 2026, Archrock tightened its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $865 million–$885 million from $865 million–$915 million and reaffirmed growth capital expenditures of $250 million–$275 million, alongside a multi-year 2027–2030 growth capex opportunity of $1.4 billion–$1.6 billion.

Introduced multi-year growth capital expenditure guidance of $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion cumulatively from 2027 through 2030.
Tightening full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $865 million to $885 million compared to prior guidance of $865 million to $915 million.

Management Commentary and Outlook

“The compression market outlook remains highly constructive, driven by durable natural gas demand and a structurally tight compression market continuing to support our expectations for robust long-term growth,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Contract Compression business continues to perform at a high level, supported by strong utilization, outstanding profitability and a healthy order book. This demand outlook supports reaffirming 2026 growth capital expenditures of $250 million to $275 million and a multi-year growth capital investment opportunity ranging from $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion cumulatively from 2027 through 2030.

“We are tightening our full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to primarily reflect near-term costs, including lube oil and timing impacts. This does not reflect a change in demand fundamentals. We remain confident in the strength of our core business and long-term outlook.

“We are focused on maximizing customer service and operational reliability, supporting critical midstream infrastructure tied to long-term growth in LNG exports and power demand, and maintaining a disciplined, returns-based approach to capital allocation. Our continued dividend increases, including five increases over the past two years, reflect our strong confidence in the durability of our long-term cash flow projections. Archrock has sector-leading balance sheet strength and a growing free cash flow profile, which position us well to support our customers’ long-term natural gas infrastructure needs while continuing to create peer-leading and durable shareholder value,” concluded Childers.


Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Archrock’s second quarter 2026 net income of $66.7 million included a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $4.9 million. Archrock’s second quarter 2025 net income of $63.4 million included a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $10.8 million and transaction-related costs totaling $6.1 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025 included $0.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively, in net gains primarily related to the sale of compression and other assets. Also included in Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 was a debt extinguishment gain of $0.7 million related to the redemption of all outstanding 6.250% senior notes due 2028 on April 1, 2026 (the “2028 Notes”).

Contract Operations

For the second quarter of 2026, contract operations segment revenue totaled $329.3 million, an increase of 3% compared to $318.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Total operating horsepower at the end of the second quarter of 2026 was 4.5 million compared to 4.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2025, reflecting period-end fleet utilization of 94.4% and the sale of approximately 165,000 non-strategic operating horsepower since the prior-year period.

Adjusted gross margin for the second quarter of 2026 was $234.6 million, up 6% from $222.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2026 was 71%, compared to 70% in the second quarter of 2025.

Aftermarket Services

For the second quarter of 2026, aftermarket services segment revenue totaled $42.0 million, compared to $64.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting lower parts sales due to the absence of non-recurring sales of overhauled engines that benefited the prior-year quarter and reduced customer demand for major maintenance service activity, which did not experience the typical mid-year seasonal uptick. Adjusted gross margin for the second quarter of 2026 was $9.9 million, compared to $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2026 was 24%, compared to 23% for the second quarter of 2025.

Balance Sheet

Long-term debt was $2.3 billion, and our available liquidity totaled $631 million at June 30, 2026. Our leverage ratio was 2.6x as of June 30, 2026, down from 3.3x as of June 30, 2025.

On April 1, 2026, we repurchased our 2028 Notes. The 2028 Notes were redeemed at 100% of their $800.0 million aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $25.0 million with borrowings under our $1.5 billion asset-based revolving credit facility due May 2028. We recorded a debt extinguishment gain of $0.7 million related to unamortized debt premium during the second quarter of 2026, partially offset by unamortized issuance costs.

Shareholder Returns

Quarterly Dividend

Our Board of Directors recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share of common stock, or $0.92 per share on an annualized basis, approximately 10% higher compared to the second quarter of 2025. Dividend coverage in the second quarter of 2026 was 3.1x. The second quarter 2026 dividend will be paid on August 11, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 4, 2026.

Share Repurchase Program

We did not repurchase any outstanding shares during the second quarter of 2026. The share repurchase program had an available capacity of $113.2 million as of June 30, 2026.

Since the inception of the Share Repurchase Program in April 2023 and through June 30, 2026, we have repurchased 4,632,263 shares of common stock at an average price of $20.91 per share for an aggregate of $96.9 million.


2026 Annual Guidance

Archrock is providing updated annual guidance as listed below. The updated 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance primarily reflects changes in certain assumptions, including an increase in contract compression make-ready costs to put idle equipment back to work, anticipated second-half lube oil cost pressure, reduced customer demand for aftermarket services, which did not experience the typical mid-year seasonal uptick, and higher SG&A expense due to higher long-term incentive compensation primarily driven by stock price increases. All figures are in thousands, except percentages and ratios:

(1)2026 annual guidance for net income includes $10.1 million of long-lived and other asset impairment as of June 30, 2026, but does not include the impact of long-lived and other asset impairment 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 2025 and 2024 was $18.3 million and $10.7 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 $(58.9) million and $(25.8) million for the years 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cash available for dividend, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, long-lived and other asset impairment, restructuring charges, debt extinguishment gain, transaction-related costs, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of capitalized implementation costs and other items, less maintenance capital expenditures, other capital expenditures, cash taxes and cash interest expense. Reconciliations of net income and net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, to cash available for dividend, and a reconciliation of our full year 2026 net income to cash available for dividend guidance, appear below.

Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities plus net cash used in investing activities. A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted free cash flow, appears below.

Adjusted free cash flow after dividend, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities plus net cash used in investing activities less dividends paid to stockholders. A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted free cash flow after dividend, appears below.

(1)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.

(1)Reflects $296.6 million cash paid in the NGCS acquisition, net of cash acquired, during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
(2)Management believes adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow after dividend 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 current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period-to-period comparisons.

(1) 2026 annual guidance for net income includes $10.1 million of long-lived and other asset impairment as of June 30, 2026, but does not include the impact of long-lived and other asset impairment 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 2025 and 2024 was $18.3 million and $10.7 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 $(58.9) million and $(25.8) million for the years 2025 and 2024, respectively.
