Management Commentary and Outlook
“The continued strength and profitability of our business reflect consistent customer demand and a structurally tight compression market,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We achieved our strongest bookings quarter since the second quarter of 2023, including strong bookings in the Permian Basin. Rising gas-to-oil ratios and additional takeaway capacity in the basin are supporting sustained compression requirements. While customer maintenance deferrals affected aftermarket activity and higher lube oil prices created near-term cost pressure, we are actively mitigating these headwinds through cost discipline and operating efficiencies. The underlying demand fundamentals remain strong, supporting our confidence in the long-term outlook.
“We remain focused on executing our disciplined growth program, deploying horsepower to meet customer demand and delivering the operational reliability our customers expect. With durable natural gas demand supported by long-term growth in LNG exports and power generation, a strong balance sheet and a disciplined, returns-based approach to capital deployment, Archrock is well positioned to invest alongside our customers at attractive returns, generate durable free cash flow and deliver consistent shareholder returns,” concluded Childers.
Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Archrock’s third quarter 2026 net income of $84.5 million included a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $3.2 million. 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.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2026 and 2025 included $2.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, in net gains primarily related to the sale of compression and other assets. Also included in Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 was a net benefit to contract operations cost of sales of $9.9 million as a result of sales and use tax audit settlements.
Contract Operations
For the third quarter of 2026, contract operations segment revenue totaled $331.2 million, an increase of 1.5% compared to $326.3 million in the third quarter of 2025. Total operating horsepower at the end of the third quarter of 2026 was 4.5 million compared to 4.7 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025, reflecting period-end fleet utilization of 94.3% and the sale of approximately 112,000 non-strategic operating horsepower since the prior-year period.

Aftermarket Services
For the third quarter of 2026, aftermarket services segment revenue totaled $39.7 million, compared to $56.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting reduced customer demand for major maintenance service activity and lower parts sales.

____________________________________
| (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 any future 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 Total Operations and Production Services, LLC 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. |
