Archrock Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results and Provides 2026 Financial Guidance

HOUSTON, February 24, 2026 - Archrock, Inc. (NYSE: AROC) (“Archrock” or the “Company”) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Highlights

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $377.1 million compared to $326.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Revenue for 2025 was $1,489.8 million compared to $1,157.6 million in 2024.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $116.8 million and EPS was $0.67, an increase of approximately 95% and 97%, respectively, compared to $59.8 million and $0.34, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net income for 2025 was $322.3 million and EPS was $1.83, compared to $172.2 million and $1.05, respectively, in 2024.
Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure defined below) for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $118.3 million and adjusted EPS (a non-GAAP measure defined below) was $0.69, compared to $61.5 million and $0.35, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income for 2025 was $332.7 million and adjusted EPS was $1.90 compared to $185.2 million and $1.13, respectively, in 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure defined below) for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $269.4 million compared to $183.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 was $900.9 million compared to $595.4 million in 2024.
Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.22 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2025, approximately 16% higher compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, resulting in dividend coverage of 4.9x.
Returned $211.8 million to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases during 2025 compared to $123.7 million in 2024.

Full Year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Exceeds Guidance Midpoint

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $116.8 million, and adjusted EBITDA was $269.4 million, driving net income for the full year 2025 to $322.3 million and adjusted EBITDA to $900.9 million. Underlying business performance exceeded expectations in the fourth quarter 2025; results further benefited from discrete items, including: (1) a $22.9 million cash net benefit related to prior period sales and use tax audit settlements and credits, recorded in cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization,  and (2) $31.6 million of net gains from the sale of compression and other assets completed at year-end. These items were not included in the 2025 annual guidance provided with our third quarter 2025 earnings release. Excluding these impacts, full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA would have been $846.4 million, compared to our most recent adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $835 million to $850 million.1

Management Commentary and Outlook

“Archrock finished 2025 strong, reporting adjusted EBITDA above the midpoint of guidance, after raising our outlook twice during the year—underscoring the strength of our natural-gas-driven strategy and the dedication of our team,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“During 2025, we grew our active horsepower by 8% compared to 2024, delivered our fifth consecutive quarter of contract operations adjusted gross margin above 70%, and increased AMS adjusted gross margin dollars by 23%. We also reduced our leverage ratio to 2.7x from 3.3x at year-end 2024 and returned $212 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases—up more than 70% year over year. These results were achieved while completing our second accretive acquisition in 18 months and executing asset sales of 325,000 horsepower for $192 million, which we redeployed into high-return new build investments as we continue to high-grade and standardize our fleet.

“Looking ahead to 2026, U.S. natural gas production is expected to reach record levels for the sixth consecutive year. Against this backdrop, we expect continued steady demand for our natural gas compression services—particularly in the large-horsepower and electric-motor-drive segments where we strategically focus our capital.

“We plan approximately $250 million to $275 million of growth capex in 2026 to support our customers’ expansion plans, which will also drive substantial free cash flow generation. Our year-opening dividend increase of 16% over our fourth quarter 2024 dividend level still leaves significant capacity for additional shareholder returns in the future as we continue to execute our returns-based capital allocation strategy.

1 Updated full year 2025 guidance provided on October 28, 2025. Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in guidance to their most directly comparable GAAP comparable financial measures are included in the third quarter 2025 earnings release date October 28, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and on the Archrock website.


“As we look forward, we are leveraging our high-quality portfolio, financial strength and flexibility and innovative technology to profitably capture market opportunities presented by sustained natural gas demand growth driven by LNG exports and the accelerating power needs of AI data centers,” concluded Childers.

Contract Operations

For the fourth quarter of 2025, contract operations segment revenue totaled $327.1 million, an increase of 14% compared to $286.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Total operating horsepower at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 was 4.6 million compared to 4.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Archrock sold approximately 123,000 total horsepower of which approximately 84,000 was active, for cash proceeds totaling $78 million. Archrock maintained full fleet utilization during the fourth quarter of 2025, ending at 95.5%.

Adjusted gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $256.6 million, up 28% from $200.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 78%, compared to 70% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding the aforementioned $22.9 million cash net benefit related to prior period sales and use tax audit settlements and credits during the fourth quarter of 2025, adjusted gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 71.5%.

Aftermarket Services

For the fourth quarter of 2025, aftermarket services segment revenue totaled $50.0 million, compared to $40.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $12.0 million, compared to $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 24%, compared to 23% for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Balance Sheet

Long-term debt was $2.4 billion and our available liquidity totaled $579 million at December 31, 2025. Our leverage ratio was 2.69x as of December 31, 2025, down from 3.3x as of December 31, 2024.

On January 21, 2026, we completed a private offering of $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior notes due 2034 and received net proceeds of $789.4 million after deducting issuance costs. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings under our $1.5 billion asset-based revolving credit facility due May 2028.

Shareholder Returns

Quarterly Dividend

Our Board of Directors recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share of common stock, or $0.88 per share on an annualized basis for the year ended December 31, 2025. Dividend coverage in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 4.9x. The fourth quarter 2025 dividend was paid on February 18, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 10, 2026.

Share Repurchase Program

During the fourth quarter of 2025, we repurchased 647,480 shares of common stock at an average price of $24.44 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $15.8 million.

(1) 2026 annual guidance for net income 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 and adjusted gross margin percentage  provide 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.

(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) Management believes adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross margin percentage, 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.
(2) Defined as idle and operating horsepower and includes new compressor units completed by a third-party manufacturer that have been delivered to us.
(3) Defined as horsepower that is operating under contract and horsepower that is idle but under contract and generating revenue such as standby revenue.
(4) Defined as total operating horsepower divided by total available horsepower at period end (spot) or over time (average).
(5) Defined as cash available for dividend divided by dividends declared for the period.
(6) Reflects $294.6 million cash paid in the NGCS acquisition, net of cash acquired, during the year ended December 31, 2025, and $866.2 million cash paid in TOPS Acquisition, net of cash acquired, during the year ended December 31, 2024.

(1)Reflects $294.6 million cash paid in the NGCS acquisition, net of cash acquired, during the year ended December 31, 2025, and $866.2 million cash paid in TOPS Acquisition, net of cash acquired, during the year ended December 31, 2024.
(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 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.
