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 $865 million and $915 million, which we expect will translate into meaningful free cash flow generation for the year.

“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.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Archrock’s first quarter 2026 net income of $73.8 million included a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $5.3 million and transaction-related costs totaling $0.6 million. Archrock’s first quarter 2025 net income of $70.9 million included transaction-related costs totaling $3.9 million, a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $1.0 million, and restructuring charges of $0.7 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025 included $10.1 million and $7.3 million, respectively, in net gains primarily related to the sale of compression and other assets.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $45.2 million, compared to $37.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in long-term cash-settled incentive compensation expense as a result of an increase in our stock price; and a $3.7 million acceleration of expense recognition for long-term incentive compensation pursuant to an executive retention agreement, which is not expected to recur in the remaining quarters of the year.

Contract Operations

For the first quarter of 2026, contract operations segment revenue totaled $330.9 million, an increase of 10% compared to $300.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. Total operating horsepower at the end of the first quarter of 2026 was 4.5 million compared to 4.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025. Archrock maintained full fleet utilization during the first quarter of 2026, ending at 95%.

Adjusted gross margin for the first quarter of 2026 was $237.6 million, up 13% from $210.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2026 was 72%, compared to 70% in the first quarter of 2025.

Aftermarket Services

For the first quarter of 2026, aftermarket services segment revenue totaled $42.9 million, compared to $46.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting lower service activity and a seasonal slowdown. Adjusted gross margin for the first quarter of 2026 was $9.8 million, compared to $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2026 was 23%, compared to 25% for the first quarter of 2025.

Balance Sheet

Long-term debt was $2.4 billion and our available liquidity totaled $1.4 billion at March 31, 2026. Our leverage ratio was 2.6x as of March 31, 2026, down from 3.2x as of March 31, 2025.

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 (the “Credit Facility”).

On April 1, 2026, we repurchased our $800.0 million of 6.250% senior notes due April 2028 (the “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 the Credit Facility. 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 $0.22 per share of common stock, or $0.88 per share on an annualized basis. Dividend coverage in the first quarter of 2026 was 3.5x. The first quarter 2026 dividend will be paid on May 19, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2026.

Share Repurchase Program

During the first quarter of 2026, we repurchased 170,952 shares of common stock at an average price of $25.87 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $4.4 million. The share repurchase program had an available capacity of $113.2 million as of March 31, 2026.

Since April 2023 and through March 31, 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.

________________________________
_{⁽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.

⁽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.}
