Positive
  • Revenue increased by 9.3% year-over-year to $270.5 million in Q2 2024
  • Net income grew by 39.3% to $34.4 million compared to Q2 2023
  • Adjusted EBITDA rose by 15% to $129.7 million year-over-year
  • Leverage ratio improved to 3.2x from 4.2x in Q2 2023
  • Quarterly dividend increased by 6% compared to Q2 2023
  • High utilization rate of 95% maintained
  • Acquisition of TOPS expected to be immediately accretive to earnings
Negative
  • Aftermarket services revenue decreased slightly to $45.1 million from $46.4 million in Q2 2023
  • Aftermarket services adjusted gross margin percentage declined to 22% from 24% in Q2 2023
  • Non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $4.4 million reported in Q2 2024

Archrock's Q2 2024 results demonstrate solid financial performance and operational strength in the natural gas compression sector. Revenue increased by 9.3% year-over-year to $270.5 million, while net income jumped 39.3% to $34.4 million. The company's Adjusted EBITDA, a key metric for operational cash flow, rose 15% to $129.7 million.

Particularly noteworthy is the improvement in Archrock's leverage ratio, which decreased from 4.2x to 3.2x year-over-year. This demonstrates the company's commitment to strengthening its balance sheet and enhancing financial flexibility. The 6% increase in quarterly dividend to $0.165 per share, coupled with a robust dividend coverage of 2.6x, signals management's confidence in sustained cash flow generation.

The contract operations segment, Archrock's core business, showed impressive growth with revenue up 12% and adjusted gross margin increasing 17% year-over-year. The segment's adjusted gross margin percentage improved from 62% to 65%, indicating enhanced operational efficiency.

While the aftermarket services segment saw a slight revenue decline, its impact on overall performance was minimal given its smaller contribution to total revenue. The company's guidance reaffirmation for 2024 Adjusted EBITDA ($510 million to $540 million) suggests management's confidence in maintaining this positive momentum.

The pending acquisition of TOPS, expected to be immediately accretive to earnings and cash available for dividend, could further bolster Archrock's market position, particularly in the strategic Permian Basin. However, investors should monitor the integration process and any potential impact on the company's leverage ratio post-acquisition.

Archrock's Q2 2024 results reflect the robust demand for natural gas compression services, particularly in oil-rich plays with associated gas production. The company's 95% utilization rate and growing operating horsepower underscore the strong market conditions in the sector.

The natural gas market dynamics appear highly favorable for Archrock. The abundance of affordable U.S. natural gas is driving growth in demand, use and production. This trend is further supported by two key factors:

  • Expanding LNG export capacity
  • Increasing electric generation demand from AI and data centers

These drivers suggest a sustained need for compression services in the foreseeable future, potentially leading to continued high utilization rates and pricing power for Archrock.

The acquisition of TOPS is strategically significant. It not only expands Archrock's presence in the important Permian Basin but also brings expertise in electric motor drive compression. This technology could be increasingly important as the industry focuses on reducing emissions and improving efficiency.

However, it's important to note the potential risks. The energy sector is known for its cyclicality and any significant downturn in oil and gas prices could impact demand for compression services. Additionally, the growing focus on renewable energy sources could pose long-term challenges to the natural gas industry.

Overall, Archrock's strong performance and strategic moves position it well to capitalize on the current favorable market conditions in the natural gas sector. The company's focus on high-quality assets, customer service and enabling technology should help maintain its competitive edge in this growing market.

HOUSTON, July 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Archrock, Inc. (NYSE: AROC) (“Archrock”) today reported results for the second quarter 2024.

Management Commentary and Outlook

“Archrock’s second quarter performance reflects the earnings power from our investment in high-quality assets, exceptional customer service, efficient execution and implementation of enabling technology,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We grew our operating horsepower and our fleet remained fully utilized, with utilization exiting the quarter at a rate of 95 percent. In addition, we again achieved record-setting average revenue per horsepower and both of our segments delivered outstanding margin performance.

“Market conditions for compression remain highly constructive, predominantly in oil plays with associated gas production like the Permian Basin. This strength and durability are being driven by the abundance of affordable U.S. natural gas that will support growth in its demand, use and production as well as the continued capital discipline being employed across the energy sector. We expect to see sustained compression booking demand well into the future as our customers plan for the call on natural gas production to support LNG export capacity growth and incremental electric generation demand from AI and data centers.

“In addition to our strong operational performance and organic opportunity set, we are excited about the pending acquisition of TOPS. In this transaction, we are acquiring highly utilized and contracted horsepower that is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings and cash available for dividend, at an attractive price. We are expanding our business with existing and new customers, further enhancing our position in the Permian Basin and adding a talented management team and personnel with leading expertise in electric motor drive compression. The transaction also supports our ability to achieve our stated financial objectives, including growing our shareholder returns and maintaining a leverage ratio of between 3.0 to 3.5 times. We continue to expect the transaction will close in the second half of 2024,” concluded Childers.

(1)2024 annual guidance for net income includes $7.0 million of long-lived and other asset impairment as of June 30, 2024, but does not include the impact of any such future costs, 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.
(2)Reflects estimate of expenses incurred to date related to the Transaction and excludes additional costs to be incurred after close.
(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 $(28.0) million and $(24.5) million for the years 2023 and 2022, respectively.
