Management Commentary and Outlook

鈥淎rchrock鈥檚 second quarter performance was outstanding,鈥� said听Brad Childers, Archrock鈥檚 President and Chief Executive Officer.听鈥淲e completed the acquisition of NGCS, delivered 368,000 operating horsepower growth sequentially, and maintained a record utilization rate on our fleet of 96%. In addition, we delivered impressive profitability levels in both segments as our team focuses on generating sustainable efficiency gains through the deployment of innovative processes and technology.

鈥淚n spite of the recent commodity price volatility, customer demand for our equipment and services remains elevated and our contract compression backlog remains strong into 2026, with demand continuing to be led by the Permian. We expect growing LNG exports and power generation needs to create a significant demand pull for U.S. natural gas production and midstream infrastructure, including natural gas compression, across all major oil and gas basins, and our scale, broad geographic footprint and modern fleet position us well to meet this customer demand.

鈥淐ontinued outperformance in our business and high confidence in our outlook underscored the decision to raise our 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance, increase our quarterly cash dividend per share and repurchase 1,226,954 shares totaling approximately $29 million during the second quarter. Against the current supportive market backdrop, we remain committed to prudent capital allocation that prioritizes profitable and attractive growth with our high-quality customer base, while also preserving balance sheet strength, generating free cash flow and increasing returns to shareholders,鈥� concluded Childers.

Adjusted gross margin for the second quarter of 2025 was $222.2 million, up 52% from $146.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2025 was 70%, compared to 65% in the second quarter of 2024.
