Management Commentary and Outlook
“We closed out 2022 with significant operating momentum and solid financial performance,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “For the full year 2022, we grew operating horsepower by approximately 375,000 horsepower, excluding non-strategic asset sales, drove a 900 basis point increase in our period-end utilization to 93% and generated net income and earnings per share growth. We also continued to divest small, non-strategic compressors, and, as a result, large horsepower now represents 84% of our total fleet.
“Our 2023 outlook reflects progress on our strategic transformation and market fundamentals for the compression industry that are as exciting as I have ever seen. This includes record utilization, significantly higher pricing and enhanced profitability, which at the midpoint of our guidance translates into adjusted EBITDA growth of more than $50 million compared to 2022. Our focus in the coming year will be on demonstrating our earnings power through excellent operating execution – efficiently and profitably capturing robust demand for compression, continuing to deliver a first-rate customer experience, harnessing our upgraded technology platform and high-graded asset base and prioritizing opportunities to help our customers with emissions management.
“Turning to capital allocation, our conviction in a multi-year upcycle for compression and Archrock’s strategy drove the decision to resume dividend growth, beginning with the February 2023 payment. With proactive debt reduction of more than $300 million since the end of 2019 and a visible inflection point in our financial performance, we expect to achieve a leverage ratio of below 4.0 times as well as dividend coverage of approximately 2.0 times during 2023. At the same time, as the demand for compression exceeds available equipment, we plan to capitalize on the opportunity to redeploy the proceeds received from non-strategic asset sales for investment in large horsepower compression units. I am confident that the strength of our people, assets and strategy will drive continued and increased shareholder value and returns in 2023 and beyond,” concluded Childers.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results
Archrock’s fourth quarter 2022 net income of $10.5 million included a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $5.2 million and a non-cash unrealized change in the fair value of our investment in an unconsolidated affiliate of $1.9 million. Archrock’s fourth quarter 2021 net income of $6.0 million included a non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $6.2 million and restructuring costs of $950,000, partially offset by an insurance settlement related to damages to facilities and compressors caused by Hurricane Ida of $2.8 million.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021 included $6.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in net gains related to the sale of compression and other assets.
Archrock’s full year 2022 net income of $44.3 million included the following items: non-cash long-lived and other asset impairment of $21.4 million and a non-cash unrealized change in the fair value of our investment in an unconsolidated affiliate of $1.9 million.

Gross margin was $103.0 million, up from $99.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. This reflected a gross margin percentage of 58%, compared to 62% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Total operating horsepower at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 was 3.4 million compared with 3.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021, and reflected the sale of 176,000 active horsepower as part of our ongoing fleet high-grading initiative. Utilization at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 was 93%, compared to 84% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021.
Aftermarket Services
For the fourth quarter of 2022, aftermarket services segment revenue totaled $41.5 million, an increase of 16% compared to $35.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, driven by higher parts sales and service activity. Gross margin of $7.1 million increased 36% compared to $5.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Gross margin percentage was 17%, up from 15% in the prior year quarter.
Balance Sheet

Quarterly Dividend
Our Board of Directors recently declared an increased quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock, or $0.60 per share on an annualized basis. The fourth quarter 2022 dividend per share amount represents an increase of 3 percent over the Archrock third quarter 2022 dividend level. Dividend coverage in the fourth quarter of 2022 was 1.5x and for the full-year 2022 was 1.9x. The fourth quarter 2022 dividend was paid on February 14, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 7, 2023.
2023 Annual Guidance
Archrock is providing annual guidance as listed below. All figures are in thousands, except percentages and ratios:
| | Full Year 2023 Guidance | | ||||
| | | Low | | | High | |
Net income (1) | | $ | 75,000 | | $ | 105,000 | |
Adjusted EBITDA(2) | | | 400,000 | | | 430,000 | |

Aftermarket services revenue | | $ | 170,000 | | $ | 180,000 | |
Aftermarket services gross margin percentage | | | 17 | % | | 18.5 | % |

Maintenance capital expenditures | | | 75,000 | | | 80,000 | |
Other capital expenditures | | | 15,000 | | | 15,000 | |
| (1) | 2023 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 both 2022 and 2021 was $21.4 million. |
| (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 $(24.5) million and $(9.5) million for 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
| (5) | 2023 annual guidance reflects the change in tax compliance for approximately $10 million of sales taxes associated with contract operations cost of sales; these costs will be accounted for in contract operations cost of sales in 2023 but were accounted for in selling, general and administrative costs during 2022 and 2021. |

Accordingly, we have excluded net income attributable to participating securities from our calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share. |

| (1) | 2022 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 both 2021 and 2020 was $21.4 million. |
| (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 $(24.5) million and $(9.5) million for 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
