Management Commentary and Outlook
“Archrock’s outstanding fourth quarter performance rounded out a record-setting year of robust utilization and profitability,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “For 2024, we increased our contract operations adjusted gross margin by 500 basis points, improved our net income by over 60% and grew our adjusted EBITDA by more than 30% year over year. We maintained a prudent balance sheet, ending the year with a leverage ratio of 3.3x, and returned $124 million in capital to our shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. We achieved these milestones while concurrently completing a transformative acquisition that established our leadership position in electric motor drive compression.
“We are even more excited about what we are positioned to deliver in 2025. Archrock continues to perform at an exceptional level, reflecting consistent operational execution and the successful progression of our strategic initiatives. Our investment in high-quality assets, excellent customer service and implementation of innovative technology and processes are driving value for our customers and our shareholders.
“Moreover, we see the market opportunities provided by rising energy demand, and in particular, the natural gas required to support growing LNG exports and power generation, continuing into the foreseeable future. With sustained high utilization levels and a large and contracted backlog for 2025, we are booking units for 2026 delivery and believe we will continue to see strong customer demand for new equipment well into next year.
“This impressive and durable investment outlook for Archrock is further underpinned by our financial flexibility and returns-based capital allocation. We are investing in profitable, high-return growth in large midstream and electric motor drive compression to support our high-quality customers in premier, primarily associated gas, plays like the Permian. We also remain committed to consistent growth in shareholder returns and started the year with a 15% year-over-year increase to our quarterly dividend per share, while maintaining prudent dividend coverage and leverage ratios,” concluded Childers.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results
Archrock’s fourth quarter 2024 net income of $59.8 million included a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $1.2 million, transaction-related costs totaling $2.2 million and a non-cash unrealized decrease in the fair value of our investment in an unconsolidated affiliate of $1.5 million. Archrock’s fourth quarter 2023 net income of $33.0 million included a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $3.7 million and a non-cash unrealized increase in the fair value of our investment in an unconsolidated affiliate of $1.0 million.
Fourth quarter 2024 selling, general, and administrative expenses of $42.2 million compared to $33.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily reflect the increase in stock price throughout the year, which drove higher long-term incentive compensation, as well as other increases in performance-based short-term and long-term incentive compensation expense given the outperformance relative to earlier expectations in 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023 included $12.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in net gains related to the sale of compression and other assets.

Archrock’s full year 2023 net income of $105.0 million included the following items: a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $12.0 million, restructuring charges of $1.8 million and a non-cash unrealized decrease in the fair value of our investment in an unconsolidated affiliate of $1.0 million.

| (1) 2025 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 2024 and 2023 was $10.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively. | |||||||
| (2) Reflects an estimate of expenses to be incurred related to the acquisition of Total Operations and Production Services, LLC (the “TOPS Acquisition”). | |||||||
| (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 $(25.8) million and $(28.0) million for the years 2024 and 2023, respectively. | |||||||

| (1) 2025 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 2024 and 2023 was $10.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively. | ||||||||

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 $(25.8) million and $(28.0) million for the years 2024 and 2023, respectively. | ||||||||
