• Accelerating energy transition and decarbonization efforts leading to declining long-term demand for natural gas: Governed by global and national policies (e.g., the Inflation Reduction Act), increasing corporate ESG commitments, and significant investments in renewable energy infrastructure, there is a clear trend towards reducing reliance on fossil fuels, including natural gas. This could result in a structural decline in natural gas production and consumption over time, directly impacting the demand for Archrock's natural gas compression services.
• Rapid adoption and preference for electric-driven natural gas compression: Driven by customer demands for lower Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and stricter environmental regulations (particularly concerning methane), there is an emerging trend favoring electric-driven compression units over traditional natural gas-fueled engines. A significant and rapid shift in market preference could render a substantial portion of Archrock's existing gas-powered fleet less competitive or obsolete, necessitating considerable capital investment for fleet modernization or potentially leading to market share erosion.

Archrock (AROC) is expected to drive future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years through a combination of increased demand for natural gas compression services, strategic fleet expansion and utilization, pricing power within its contract operations, and the continued growth of its aftermarket services.

1. Strong and Durable Demand for Natural Gas Compression: Archrock anticipates robust long-term demand for its compression equipment, fueled by several macro trends. These include significant growth in U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, increasing natural gas requirements for power generation, and the emerging demand for AI-driven data centers. The company is strategically positioned to capitalize on these trends with its compression infrastructure solutions across major U.S. basins. Management has indicated that the U.S. natural gas infrastructure build-out supporting strong performance is expected to continue into 2026 and beyond.
2. Expansion and High Utilization of Compression Fleet: Archrock has demonstrated a consistent focus on growing its contract compression operating fleet through organic investments in new horsepower and strategic acquisitions. The company has maintained an all-time high equipment utilization rate, reaching 96%. This high utilization, coupled with ongoing investments, allows Archrock to meet robust customer demand and expand its revenue-generating asset base.
3. Pricing Power and Favorable Long-Term Contracts: Archrock has successfully implemented sequential price increases in its monthly revenue per horsepower over several consecutive quarters, indicating strong pricing power within the market. The company benefits from multi-year, fee-based customer contracts, with the average contract duration exceeding six years. These long-term agreements provide predictable and stable revenue streams, minimizing volatility and ensuring consistent cash flow.
4. Growth in Aftermarket Services (AMS): The aftermarket services segment is a significant contributor to Archrock's revenue and is expected to grow. This growth is driven by high demand for maintenance and service work, supported by the company's extensive base of owned compression equipment. Great customer service in this segment is also leading to repeat business, further bolstering revenue.
5. Strategic Acquisitions and Synergies: Archrock's strategic acquisition of Total Operations and Production Services, LLC (TOPS) in the third quarter of 2024 (closed in August 2024) is a key driver for future revenue growth. This acquisition has significantly enhanced Archrock's leadership in electric motor drive compression and broadened its customer base, particularly in the Permian region. The integration of TOPS is progressing well, with substantial operational and financial synergies anticipated to contribute to increased revenue and profitability.
