    Management Commentary and Outlook

    “During the quarter, Archrock sustained outstanding levels of utilization, pricing and profitability, capping a record-breaking year for the company,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “For the full year, we improved our period-end utilization to 96%, increased our contract operations gross margin by 300 basis points and grew our adjusted EBITDA by 24%. This step change in our earnings power enabled us to return more than $105 million in capital to our shareholders through dividend increases and the initiation of a share buyback program.

    “These results reflect years of effort to transform our platform and the lasting benefits set us up for an even better 2024. Robust and visible customer demand currently extends into 2025 and continues to be led by key Archrock oil-producing markets that have associated gas, like the Permian. We expect that the efficient execution of our operations, price increases and strategically managed investment in our fleet will drive earnings growth and free cash flow generation during 2024. In addition, we plan to advance our new ventures initiatives to help our customers decarbonize and continue leveraging innovative technology and processes to drive our customer service and business profitability higher.

    “We believe the current upcycle remains durable and are committed to maintaining sector-leading financial flexibility and capital allocation capabilities. We recently increased our quarterly dividend per share by 6.5 percent, while share buybacks remain another value creation tool available to us. We also continue to expect a consistent dividend coverage ratio of well above 2.0 times and a leverage ratio of between 3.0 and 3.5 times,” concluded Childers.

    Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results

    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.

    Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022 included $2.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively, in net gains related to the sale of compression and other assets.

    Contract Operations

    For the fourth quarter of 2023, contract operations segment revenue totaled $213.0 million, an increase of 20% compared to $177.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Gross margin (a non-GAAP measure defined below) was $137.1 million, up 33% from $103.0 million. Gross margin percentage was 64% for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 58% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

    Shareholder Returns

    Quarterly Dividend

    Our Board of Directors recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.165 per share of common stock, or $0.66 per share on an annualized basis. Dividend coverage in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 2.8x. The fourth quarter 2023 dividend was paid on February 13, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 6, 2024.

    Share Repurchase Program

    During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, Archrock repurchased 174,112 common shares at an average price of $13.58 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $2.4 million. Approximately $41.1 million remains available for future common share repurchases under Archrock’s share repurchase program.

    2024 Annual Guidance

    Archrock expects 2024 Adjusted EBITDA between $500 million and $530 million, which at the midpoint, represents an increase of 14% compared to 2023. The increase is expected to be primarily driven by growth in contract operations revenue and gross margin.

    Archrock also expects 2024 total capex between $275 million and $290 million compared to $299 million in 2023.  Included in this outlook is anticipated growth capex of between $175 million and $180 million, compared to growth capex of $190 million during 2023. This range compares to our previously provided and preliminary growth capital expenditure outlook of approximately $160 million; the change reflects growth capex underspend and carryforward from 2023 due to supplier equipment delays as well as incremental new build horsepower investment, supported by multi-year contracts, to satisfy key customer demand.

    Capital expenditures are expected to be fully funded by operations, with the potential for additional support from modest non-strategic asset sale proceeds as we continue to high-grade our fleet.

    Archrock is providing annual guidance as listed below. All figures are in thousands, except percentages and ratios:

             
      Full Year 2024 Guidance 
       Low   High 
    Net income (1)  $134,000  $164,000 
    Adjusted EBITDA(2)  500,000   530,000 
    Cash available for dividend(3)(4)  289,000   309,000 
             
    Segment        
    Contract operations revenue $890,000  $915,000 
    Contract operations gross margin percentage  64%  65.5%
    Aftermarket services revenue $170,000  $185,000 
    Aftermarket services gross margin percentage  19%  20.5%
             
    Selling, general and administrative $119,000  $117,000 
             
    Capital expenditures        
    Growth capital expenditures $175,000  $180,000 
    Maintenance capital expenditures  80,000   85,000 
    Other capital expenditures  20,000   25,000 


    (1)2024 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 2023 and 2022 was $12.0 million and $21.4 million, respectively.
    (2)
    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.
    (3)
    Management uses cash available for dividend as a supplemental performance measure to compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned dividends.
    (4)
    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 $(28.0) million and $(24.5) million for 2023 and 2022, respectively.

    Basic and diluted net income 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 net income per common share.

    Management believes gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and free cash flow after dividend provide 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 current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period-to-period comparisons.

    2024 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 2023 and 2022 was $12.0 million and $21.4 million, respectively.

    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 $(28.0) million and $(24.5) million for the years 2023 and 2022, respectively.
