Management Commentary and Outlook

“Archrock drove tremendous performance during the third quarter, marked by the achievement of several financial and strategic milestones,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our compression fleet remained fully utilized and our contract operations and aftermarket services segments delivered record-setting adjusted gross margins. In addition, at the end of August, we closed the previously announced acquisition of TOPS, and our teams are doing a great job integrating this high-quality electric motor drive compression operation into Archrock.

“The significant outperformance in our pre-acquisition business, the continued deployment of innovative technology and an expanded electric motor drive fleet result in an increase to our 2024 adjusted EBITDA guidance expectations and set a strong foundation for even higher levels of customer service, operational execution and profitability in 2025.

“We see sustained strength in compression booking demand as our customers plan for continuing production growth to meet increased LNG export capacity and electric generation demand from AI and data centers. I’m particularly excited about our enhanced position in the Permian Basin, which is forecasted to lead the U.S. in oil and gas production growth.
