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.

“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.

________________________

(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.

(2)	Management believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides 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.

(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.
