Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
We are an energy infrastructure company with a primary focus on midstream natural gas compression. We are a premier provider of natural gas compression services, in terms of total compression fleet horsepower, to customers in the energy industry throughout the U.S., and a leading supplier of aftermarket services to customers that own compression equipment in the U.S. Our business supports a must–run service that is essential to the production, processing, transportation and storage of natural gas.
We operate in two business segments: contract operations and aftermarket services. Our contract operations business primarily includes designing, sourcing, owning, installing, operating, servicing, repairing and maintaining our owned fleet of natural gas compression equipment to provide natural gas compression services to our customers. Our aftermarket services business provides a full range of services to support the compression needs of our customers that own compression equipment, including operations, maintenance, overhaul and reconfiguration services and sales of parts and components.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to this Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP. Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our 2025 Form 10-K. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods reported. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
2. Recent Accounting Developments
Accounting Standards Updates Implemented
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which amends Topic 326 to provide for a practical expedient for all entities and an accounting policy election for entities other than public business entities related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under FASB ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). All entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We adopted ASU 2025-05 on January 1, 2026 and elected the practical expedient. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires additional disclosures, primarily focused on the disclosure of income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. We adopted ASU 2023-09 retrospectively during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, to reduce diversity in practice and provide decision-useful information to a joint venture’s investors by requiring that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. By applying a new basis of accounting, a joint venture will recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value, with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance, on the date of formation. ASU 2023-05 is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Additionally, a joint venture that was formed before January 1, 2025, may elect to apply the amendments retrospectively if it has sufficient information to do so. We adopted ASU 2023-05 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and its adoption had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Implemented
Accounting for Internal-Use Software Costs
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. ASU 2025-06 removes all references to software project development stages in Subtopic 350-40 and clarifies cost capitalization may begin when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the project and (2) it is probable the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform its intended function and provides new examples to illustrate its application. ASU 2025-06 specifies that the property, plant and equipment disclosure requirements apply to capitalized software costs accounted for under Subtopic 350-40, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may apply the guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which will require tabular disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements that disaggregate certain relevant expense captions presented on the face of the income statement into specified natural expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. ASU 2024-03 also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses for each reporting period and, in annual periods, a description of the entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Entities are required to adopt ASU 2024-03 prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03, and while we do not expect the adoption to impact our condensed consolidated financial statements, we do expect the adoption to impact presentation of expense information within related disclosures.
3. Business Transactions
On August 1, 2025, we completed the sale of certain contract operations customer agreements and approximately 155 compressors, comprising approximately 47,000 horsepower, used to provide compression services under those agreements along with other supporting assets, for aggregate total consideration of $71.0 million. Goodwill, customer-related intangible assets and deferred revenue were allocated based on a ratio of the horsepower sold relative to the total horsepower of the asset group. The disposal group was classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2025, and its carrying value was adjusted to estimated fair value less costs to sell. We recorded a write-down of $8.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, which is included in long-lived and other asset impairment in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On May 1, 2025, we completed the NGCS Acquisition, whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in NGCS, including a fleet of approximately 326,000 operating horsepower and an 18,000 horsepower backlog of contracted new equipment, for aggregate total consideration of $349.4 million. Total consideration consisted of $296.5 million in cash, of which we paid $265.1 million to NGCSI sellers and $31.4 million to NGCSE sellers, and approximately 2.3 million shares of common stock issued to NGCSE sellers with an NGCS acquisition date fair value of $53.0 million. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Credit Facility. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, customary post-closing adjustments were made during the third quarter of 2025, resulting in a reduction to the purchase price of approximately $2.0 million.
The NGCS Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their fair value on the NGCS acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred over those fair values is recorded as goodwill.
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the NGCS acquisition date:

The amount of goodwill resulting from the NGCS Acquisition is attributable to the expansion of our services in the Permian Basin where we currently operate and was allocated to our contract operations segment. The goodwill recorded is considered to have an indefinite life and will be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. None of the goodwill recorded for the NGCS Acquisition is expected to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Tax Contingency and Indemnification
We recorded a non-income tax-based contingency of $0.5 million and a corresponding indemnification asset of $0.5 million based on facts existing on the NGCS acquisition date. The non-income tax-based contingency arose from pre-acquisition activity at NGCS. As part of the NGCS Acquisition, the sellers agreed to indemnify us for certain non-income tax and environmental contingencies up to $11.4 million as of the NGCS acquisition date. Dependent upon facts and circumstances, the sellers’ indemnification obligation may be reduced over a period of four years from the NGCS acquisition date but may also be extended until the resolution of claims timely submitted to the sellers.

Results of Operations
The results of operations attributable to the NGCS Acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as part of our contract operations segment since the NGCS acquisition date. We are unable to provide earnings attributable to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed since the NGCS acquisition date, as we do not prepare full stand-alone earnings reports for those assets and liabilities.

Valuation Methodologies
The valuation methodologies and significant inputs for fair value measurements associated with the NGCS Acquisition are detailed by significant asset class below. The fair value measurements for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 measurements.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is primarily comprised of natural gas and electric motor drive compression equipment that will depreciate on a straight-line basis over an estimated average remaining useful life of 15 years. The fair value of the property, plant and equipment was determined using both the cost and market approach. For most of the compression equipment, we estimated the replacement cost using the direct cost method by evaluating recent purchases of similar assets or published data, then adjusting the replacement cost for physical deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence, as applicable. For certain compression equipment, we then considered the market approach by comparing our estimated dollar per horsepower to market comparables and market participant assumptions and adjusted as necessary.
Other fixed assets were valued using the indirect cost method, whereby we applied asset-specific trend information using published indexes to calculate the estimated replacement cost of assets that were identified to be reflected at historical cost. Other assets were depreciated based on published normal useful life estimates and prior experience with similar assets.
Intangible Assets
The intangible assets consist of customer relationships and trade names that have estimated useful lives of 12 years and five years, respectively. The amount of intangible assets and their associated useful lives were determined based on the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows.
The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets related to customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a specific application of the discounted cash flow method, an income approach, whereby we estimated and then discounted the future cash flows of the intangible asset by adjusting overall business revenue for attrition, obsolescence, cost of sales, operating expenses, taxes and the required returns attributable to other contributory assets acquired. Significant estimates made in arriving at expected future cash flows included our expected customer attrition rate and the amount of earnings attributable to the assets. To discount the estimated future cash flows, we utilized a discount rate that was at a premium to our WACC to reflect the less liquid nature of the customer relationships relative to the tangible assets acquired.
The trade name fair market value was measured using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach, whereby we calculated the royalty savings by estimating a reasonable royalty rate that a third party would negotiate in a licensing agreement expressed as a percentage of total revenue involving a trade name. The revenue related to the trade name was multiplied by the selected royalty rate over the estimated expected useful life of the trade name to arrive at the royalty savings. The royalty savings were tax effected and discounted to present value using a discount rate commensurate with the risk profile of the trade name relative to our WACC and the return on the other acquired assets.

7. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Other Strategic Investments
Investment in FGC Holdco
In October 2024, we, together with ColdStream, entered into a limited liability agreement with FGC Holdco, a company that designs, manufactures and sells MaCH4 NRS equipment through distributors. As of the effective date of the agreement, FGC Holdco had initial authorized capital of 1.0 million units, with 68% of its units issued to ColdStream and 32% of its units issued to us at a cost of $0.001 per unit. Subject to certain contractual provisions, we are obligated to fund, as capital contributions, our proportionate share of FGC Holdco’s general, administrative and operational costs and expenses.
16
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we did not invest in FGC Holdco, whereas during the three months ended June 30, 2025, we invested $0.2 million, and during both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we invested $0.4 million, in FGC Holdco. As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of our investment in FGC Holdco, including transaction costs of $0.2 million, was $0.2 million, which is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash contributions are included in the investing activities section of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
On July 1, 2026, the limited liability agreement was amended, to include, among other provisions, authorization of additional capital of 80 thousand units issued to us at a purchase price of $25 per unit. In connection with the amendment, we invested $2.0 million in FGC Holdco, which resulted in a 37% equity interest in FGC Holdco at that time.
We determined FGC Holdco is a VIE over which we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance and therefore are not the primary beneficiary. The board of directors of FGC Holdco have control over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance, and although we participate in board governance, we do not have the unilateral ability to control board decisions. We apply the equity method of accounting to account for our investment. The carrying value of our equity investment is impacted by our share of investee income or loss, distributions, amortization or accretion of basis differences and other-than-temporary impairments.
As of June 30, 2026, we had a $0.2 million basis difference between the cost of our investment and our proportionate share of the carrying value of FGC Holdco’s underlying net assets. The basis difference is primarily attributed to intangible assets and is being amortized over the estimated 20-year useful life.
We recognized equity method losses of $0.4 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $0.9 million and $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which is included in equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliate in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We eliminate intra-entity profits and losses on transactions with FGC Holdco to the extent such profits or losses are not realized through transactions with third parties. See Note 18 (“Related Party Transactions”) for further details.
Investment in Ionada
We are the lead investor in a series A preferred financing round for Ionada, a global carbon capture technology company committed to reducing GHG emissions and creating a sustainable future. We have elected the fair value measurement alternative to account for this investment. See Note 17 (“Fair Value Measurements”) for further details.
On March 13, 2026, we invested an additional $1.3 million in Ionada and as a result, the carrying value of our investment in Ionada at June 30, 2026 was $6.8 million, including transaction costs of $0.5 million, and is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had a fully diluted ownership equity interest in Ionada of 16% and 12%, respectively. Subject to certain contractual conditions, we may invest on the same terms and conditions as the initial and secondary investments, up to $4.8 million prior to April 3, 2027, for a fully diluted ownership interest up to 24%.
Investment in ECOTEC
We hold a 25% equity interest in ECOTEC, a company specializing in methane emissions detection, monitoring and management. We have elected the fair value option to account for this investment, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we did not recognize unrealized gains or losses related to the change in fair value of our investment. Changes in the fair value of this investment are recognized in other income, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 17 (“Fair Value Measurements”) for further details.
17
Other Strategic Investments
In December 2025, we entered into a SAFE with Shoreline AI, a software-as-a-service company, focused on predictive maintenance for energy infrastructure assets. We have elected the fair value measurement alternative to account for this investment and as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of our investment was equal to its $5.2 million cost, including transaction costs of $0.2 million, and is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 17 (“Fair Value Measurements”) for further details.

In December 2025, we amended our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to, among other things, remove the 0.10% per annum credit spread adjustment that was previously included in the calculation of the interest rate applicable to the loans made under the Credit Facility, decrease the applicable margin for all borrowings by 0.25% per annum such that the applicable margin for borrowings varies and decrease the commitment fee payable on the daily unused amount of the Credit Facility from 0.375% per annum to 0.25% per annum when less than 50% of the Credit Facility is utilized. We did not incur any transaction costs related to the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
As of June 30, 2026, there were $3.2 million letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility and the applicable margin on borrowings outstanding was 1.7%. The weighted-average annual interest rate on the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was 5.4% and 5.8% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We incurred $0.4 million of commitment fees on the daily unused amount of the Credit Facility during both the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and $1.1 million and $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Additionally, all undrawn capacity on our Credit Facility was available for borrowings as of June 30, 2026.
In May 2025, we amended our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity of the Credit Facility from $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion and to provide for the ability for the borrowers to request additional increases in the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility to a total amount not to exceed $2.3 billion (with any increase being at the discretion of the lenders and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred $1.9 million in transaction costs related to the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which were included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Facility.
In August 2024, we amended our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to, among other things:
We incurred $2.6 million in transaction costs related to the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which were included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Facility.

On January 21, 2026, we completed a private offering of $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% senior notes due 2034 and received net proceeds of $789.4 million after deducting issuance costs. In January 2026, the approximately $10.6 million of issuance costs were recorded as deferred financing costs within long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations over the term of the notes. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility.
The 2034 Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. except pursuant to a registration exemption under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We offered and issued the 2034 Notes only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the U.S. in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2034 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by us, and by all of our existing subsidiaries, other than Archrock Services, L.P. and Archrock Partners Finance Corp., which are the issuers of the 2034 Notes. The 2034 Notes and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.
We may, at our option, redeem all or part of the 2034 Notes at any time on or after February 1, 2029, at specified redemption prices, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, prior to February 1, 2029, we may redeem up to 40% of the 2034 Notes, in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a specified redemption price, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. We may also redeem all or part of the 2034 Notes at any time prior to February 1, 2029 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount and a make whole premium, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
The indenture governing the 2034 Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to pay dividends on, repurchase or redeem our common stock or repurchase or redeem subordinated debt; make investments; incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred securities; create or incur certain liens; sell assets; consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from our restricted subsidiaries to us; engage in transactions with affiliates; and create unrestricted subsidiaries. If the 2034 Notes achieve an investment grade rating from any two out of three of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Ratings, Inc. and S&P Global Ratings and no default has occurred and is continuing, many of these covenants will terminate. The indenture governing the 2034 Notes also contains customary events of default.
In August 2024, we completed a private offering of $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due September 2032 and received net proceeds of $690.0 million after deducting issuance costs. The $10.0 million of issuance costs were recorded as deferred financing costs within long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations over the term of the notes. A portion of the net proceeds were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the TOPS Acquisition, the 2027 Notes Tender Offer and to repay borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility.
The 2032 Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. except pursuant to a registration exemption under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We offered and issued the 2032 Notes only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the U.S. in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The 2032 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by us, and by all of our existing subsidiaries, other than Archrock Partners, L.P. and Archrock Partners Finance Corp., which are the issuers of the 2032 Notes. The 2032 Notes and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

If the 2032 Notes achieve an investment grade rating from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and S&P Global Ratings and no default has occurred and is continuing, many of these covenants will terminate. The indenture governing the 2032 Notes also contains customary events of default.
In December 2020, we completed a private offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due April 2028, which were issued pursuant to the indenture under which we completed a private offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior notes in December 2019. The notes of the two offerings have identical terms and are treated as a single class of securities. The $300.0 million of notes were issued at 104.875% of their face value and have an effective interest rate of 5.6%. The $500.0 million of notes were issued at 100% of their face value and have an effective interest rate of 6.8%.
The net proceeds from the 2028 Notes were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility. Issuance costs related to the 2028 Notes were considered deferred financing costs, and together with the issue premium of the December 2020 offering of 2028 Notes, were recorded within long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and were being amortized to interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations over the terms of the notes.
On April 1, 2026, we repurchased our 2028 Notes. The 2028 Notes were redeemed at 100% of their $800.0 million aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $25.0 million with borrowings under the Credit Facility. We recorded a debt extinguishment gain of $0.7 million in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the second quarter of 2026 due to the write-off of unamortized debt premium of $4.0 million, which was partially offset by the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.3 million.
In March 2019, we completed a private offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due April 2027 and received net proceeds of $491.2 million after deducting issuance costs of $8.8 million. The $500.0 million of notes were issued at 100% of their face value and have an effective interest rate of 7.9%.
The net proceeds from the 2027 Notes were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility. Issuance costs related to the 2027 Notes were considered deferred financing costs and were recorded within long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and were being amortized to interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations over the terms of the notes.
21
In connection with the offering of the 2032 Notes, we completed a concurrent cash tender offer of $202.0 million, which reflects approximately 101% of the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the tendered 2027 Notes and $0.2 million of agent and legal fees. On the date of tender, the net carrying value of the tendered 2027 Notes was $198.8 million and during the third quarter of 2024, we recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $3.2 million in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In November 2025, we repurchased our 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes were redeemed at 100% of their $300.0 million aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $2.6 million with borrowings under the Credit Facility. We recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $0.9 million related to unamortized debt issuance costs during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Our future capital purchase commitments consist of contractual obligations for new fleet assets that have been ordered but not yet received. As of June 30, 2026, we had contractual obligations to purchase $868.9 million of additional fleet assets through 2029, of which $258.8 million is due within the next 12 months.
Insurance Matters
Our business can be hazardous, involving unforeseen circumstances such as uncontrollable flows of natural gas or well fluids and fires or explosions. As is customary in our industry, we review our safety equipment and procedures and carry insurance against some, but not all, risks of our business. Our insurance coverage includes property damage, general liability and commercial automobile liability and other coverage we believe is appropriate. We believe that our insurance coverage is customary for the industry and adequate for our business; however, losses and liabilities not covered by insurance would increase our costs.
Additionally, we are substantially self-insured for workers’ compensation and employee group health claims in view of the relatively high per-incident deductibles we absorb under our insurance arrangements for these risks. Losses up to the deductible amounts are estimated and accrued based upon known facts, historical trends and industry averages. We are also self-insured for property damage to our offshore assets.
Tax Matters
We are subject to a number of state and local taxes that are not income-based. As many of these taxes are subject to audit by the taxing authorities, it is reasonably possible that an audit could result in additional taxes due. We accrue for such additional taxes when we determine that it is probable that we have incurred a liability and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the liability. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we accrued $7.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively, for the outcomes of non-income-based tax audits. We do not expect that the ultimate resolutions of these audits will result in a material variance from the amounts accrued. We do not accrue for unasserted claims for tax audits unless we believe the assertion of a claim is probable, it is probable that it will be determined that the claim is owed and we can reasonably estimate the claim or range of the claim. We believe the likelihood is remote that the impact of potential unasserted claims from non-income-based tax audits could be material to our condensed consolidated financial position, but it is reasonably possible that the resolution of future audits could be material to our condensed consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $2.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of the tax contingencies mentioned above had an offsetting indemnification asset.
We settled certain sales and use tax audits for which we recorded a net benefit of $27.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, which was primarily reflected as a decrease to cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. For subsequent open certain sales and use tax periods, we recorded tax credits as a net benefit of $8.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, which was primarily reflected as a decrease to cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. As of December 31, 2025, these settlements and credits were reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as a $41.5 million tax refund receivable and an offsetting $9.9 million in accrued liabilities and $1.0 million in other liabilities.
Litigation and Claims
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. While we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, we believe that any ultimate liability arising from any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, including our ability to pay dividends. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation and arbitration proceedings, we cannot provide assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding to which we are a party will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, including our ability to pay dividends.
11. Stockholders’ Equity
In May 2025, we completed the NGCS Acquisition and issued approximately 2.3 million shares of common stock to NGCSE sellers as part of the acquisition purchase price. The NGCS acquisition date fair value was $53.0 million and is reflected in common stock and additional paid-in capital in our condensed consolidated statements of equity. See Note 3 (“Business Transactions”) for further details.
Share Repurchases
Our Board of Directors authorized the Share Repurchase Program in April 2023 that allowed us to repurchase and retire up to $50.0 million of outstanding common stock. Between April 2024 and October 2025, extensions of the Share Repurchase Program were approved by our Board of Directors to repurchase and retire outstanding common stock through December 31, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, available capacity under the Share Repurchase Program was $113.2 million.
Under the Share Repurchase Program, shares of our common stock may be repurchased periodically, including in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, at any time.
Since the inception of the Share Repurchase Program in April 2023 and through June 30, 2026, we have repurchased 4,632,263 shares of common stock at an average price of $20.91 per share, for an aggregate of $96.9 million. As of June 30, 2026, we have retired all of the shares of common stock that had been previously repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program.
Shares Withheld Related to Net Settlement of Equity Awards
The 2020 Plan allows us to withhold shares upon vesting of restricted stock at the then-current market price to cover taxes required to be withheld on the vesting date.

We do not disclose the aggregate transaction price for the remaining performance obligations for aftermarket services as there are no contracts with customers with an original contract term that is greater than one year.
Receivables from Contracts with Customers
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for credit losses, were $158.9 million and $128.9 million, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The changes in our allowance for credit losses during the six months ended June 30, 2026 are as follows:
Balance at beginning of period
1,205
Write-offs charged against allowance
(85)
Balance at end of period
Contract Liabilities
Freight billings to customers for the transport of compression assets, customer-specified modifications of compression assets and milestone billings on aftermarket services often result in a contract liability. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our contract liabilities were $11.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively, which are included in other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we deferred revenue of $11.2 million and $9.6 million, respectively, and recognized revenue of $11.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The revenue recognized and deferred during the periods is primarily related to freight billings for contract operations and milestone billings for aftermarket services.
13. Long-Lived and Other Asset Impairment
Compression Fleet
We periodically review the future deployment of our idle compression assets for units that are not of the type, configuration, condition, make or model that are cost efficient to maintain and operate. Based on these reviews, we determine that certain idle compressors should be retired from the active fleet. The retirement of these units from the active fleet triggers a review of these assets for impairment, and as a result of our review, we may record an asset impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value. The fair value of each unit is estimated based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold, a review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use.
In connection with our review of our idle compression assets, we evaluate for impairment idle units that were culled from our fleet in prior years and are available for sale. Based on that review, we may reduce the expected proceeds from disposition and record additional impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value.
The following table presents the results of our compression fleet impairment review as recorded in our contract operations segment:

In connection with the Flowco Disposition, we adjusted the carrying value of the disposal group to its estimated fair value less costs to sell and recorded a write-down of $8.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, which is included in long-lived and other asset impairment in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 (“Business Transactions”) for further details.
14. Restructuring Charges
During the second quarter of 2025, management approved and initiated a plan to exit certain facilities that were no longer deemed economical for our business, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we continued to execute the plan and incurred $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of costs to exit these facilities. The facility closure costs incurred under the above restructuring plan were recorded to restructuring charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We do not expect to incur additional restructuring charges related to these restructuring activities.
During the first quarter of 2025, management approved and executed a plan to exit a facility no longer deemed economical for our business, and in the first quarter of 2025, we incurred $0.7 million of costs to exit this facility. The severance and property disposal costs incurred under the above restructuring plan were recorded to restructuring charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We do not expect to incur additional restructuring charges related to these restructuring activities.

15. Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate
The year-to-date effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 differed significantly from our statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, unrecognized tax benefits and the limitation on executive compensation, partially offset by the benefit from equity-settled long-term incentive compensation.
16. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, basic earnings per common share is determined by dividing net income, after deducting amounts allocated to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Participating securities include unvested restricted stock and stock-settled restricted stock units that have nonforfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid. During periods of net loss, only distributed earnings (dividends) are allocated to participating securities, as participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to participate in our undistributed losses.
Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental common stock equivalents attributed to outstanding performance-based restricted stock units and stock to be issued pursuant to our ESPP unless their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table shows the calculation of net income attributable to common stockholders, which is used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share, potential shares of common stock that were included in computing diluted earnings per common share and the potential shares of common stock issuable that were excluded from computing diluted earnings per common share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

17. Fair Value Measurements
The accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three categories:
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
As of June 30, 2026, we owned a 25% equity interest in ECOTEC in which we have elected the fair value option to account for this investment. There were no purchases of equity interests or unrealized changes in the fair value of our investment in ECOTEC recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025. The fair value of our investment in ECOTEC at both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $14.6 million, and is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The fair value determination of this investment primarily consisted of unobservable inputs, which creates uncertainty in the measurement of fair value as of the reporting date. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, which was valued through an average of an income approach (discounted cash flow method) and a market approach (guideline public company method), are the WACC and the revenue multiples. Significant increases (decreases) in these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 3. See Note 7 (“Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Other Strategic Investments”) for further details.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Other Strategic Investments
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of our investments in which we have elected the fair value measurement alternative was $12.0 million and $10.6 million, respectively, and is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no upward adjustments, impairments or downward adjustments to the carrying value of these investments as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See Note 7 (“Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Other Strategic Investments”) for further details.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments related to our idle compressors. Our estimate of the compression fleet’s fair value was primarily based on the expected net sale proceeds compared with other fleet units we recently sold and/or a review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use. We discounted the expected proceeds, net of selling and other carrying costs, using a weighted-average disposal period of four years. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 3.
29
The fair value of our impaired compression fleet as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was as follows:
Impaired compression fleet
1,288
871
The significant unobservable inputs used to develop the above fair value measurements were weighted by the relative fair value of the compression fleet being measured. Additional quantitative information related to our significant unobservable inputs follows:
Range
Weighted Average (1)
Estimated net sale proceeds:
As of June 30, 2026
$0 - $375 per horsepower
$59 per horsepower
As of December 31, 2025
$0 - $241 per horsepower
$54 per horsepower
See Note 13 (“Long-Lived and Other Asset Impairment”) for further details.
Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of our cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The carrying amount of borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate. The fair value of these outstanding borrowings is a Level 3 measurement.
The fair value of our fixed rate debt is estimated using yields observable in active markets, which are Level 2 inputs, and was as follows:
Carrying amount of fixed rate debt (1)
1,500,000
Fair value of fixed rate debt
1,510,000
1,527,000
18. Related Party Transactions
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we made purchases of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from our unconsolidated affiliate ECOTEC, whereas during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we made purchases of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from our unconsolidated affiliate.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we made no purchases from our unconsolidated affiliate FGC Holdco, whereas during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we made purchases of $1.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, from our unconsolidated affiliate.
The carrying value of assets and liabilities recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to our variable interests in FGC Holdco and our maximum exposure to loss related to our involvement with an unconsolidated VIE were as follows:

From August 2019 to present, our Board of Directors has included a member affiliated with our customer Hilcorp or its subsidiaries or affiliates. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue from Hilcorp and affiliates was $9.5 million and $18.5 million, respectively, whereas during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, revenue from Hilcorp and affiliates was $10.6 million and $21.7 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no used equipment sales to Hilcorp and affiliates, whereas during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a sale of used equipment to Hilcorp and affiliates of $9.9 million.
Accounts receivable, net due from Hilcorp and affiliates was $1.6 million and $1.7 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Shoreline AI
During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we made purchases of $0.1 million from our unconsolidated affiliate Shoreline AI.
19. Segments
We manage our business segments primarily based on the type of product or service provided. We have two segments that we operate within the U.S.: contract operations and aftermarket services. Our contract operations segment primarily provides natural gas compression services to meet specific customer requirements. Our aftermarket services segment provides a full range of services to support the compression needs of customers, from parts sales and normal maintenance services to full operation of a customer’s owned assets.
Our CODM is our President & Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM evaluates the performance of our segments and allocates resources primarily based on adjusted gross margin, defined as revenue less cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, which are key components of segment operations. Adjusted gross margin is the primary measure used by our CODM to evaluate segment performance because it focuses on the current performance of segment operations and excludes the impact of the prior historical costs of assets acquired or constructed that are utilized in those operations, the indirect costs associated with our SG&A activities, our financing methods and income taxes. Our CODM considers adjusted gross margin forecast to actual results and period over period financial variances in conjunction with product and customer service metrics and market trends when assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q and in conjunction with our 2025 Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
We are an energy infrastructure company with a primary focus on midstream natural gas compression and a commitment to helping our customers produce, compress and transport natural gas in a safe and environmentally responsible way. We are a premier provider of natural gas compression services, in terms of total compression fleet horsepower, to customers in the energy industry throughout the U.S., and a leading supplier of aftermarket services to customers that own compression equipment in the U.S. Our business supports a must-run service that is essential to the production, processing, transportation and storage of natural gas.
Significant 2026 Transactions
On April 1, 2026, we repurchased our 2028 Notes. The 2028 Notes were redeemed at 100% of their $800.0 million aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $25.0 million with borrowings under the Credit Facility. We recorded a debt extinguishment gain of $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2026 due to the write-off of unamortized debt premium of $4.0 million, which was partially offset by the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.3 million. See Note 9 (“Long-Term Debt”) for further details.
On January 21, 2026, we completed a private offering of $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% senior notes due 2034 and received net proceeds of $789.4 million after deducting issuance costs. In January 2026, the approximately $10.6 million of issuance costs were recorded as deferred financing costs within long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations over the term of the notes. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility. See Note 9 (“Long-Term Debt”) for further details.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted gross margin.
We define adjusted gross margin as total revenue less cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. Adjusted gross margin is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary measure used by our management to evaluate the results of revenue and cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, which are key components of our operations. We believe adjusted gross margin is important because it focuses on the current operating performance of our operations and excludes the impact of the prior historical costs of the assets acquired or constructed that are utilized in those operations, the indirect costs associated with our SG&A activities, our financing methods and income taxes. In addition, depreciation and amortization may not accurately reflect the costs required to maintain and replenish the operational usage of our assets and therefore may not portray the costs of current operating activity. As an indicator of our operating performance, adjusted gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, gross margin, net income or any other measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Our adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other entities because other entities may not calculate adjusted gross margin in the same manner.
Adjusted gross margin has certain material limitations associated with its use as compared to net income. These limitations are primarily due to the exclusion of SG&A, depreciation and amortization, long-lived and other asset impairment, restructuring charges, debt extinguishment gain, interest expense, transaction-related costs, gain on sale of assets, net, other income, net, provision for income taxes and equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliate. Because we intend to finance a portion of our operations through borrowings, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate revenue. Additionally, because we use capital assets, depreciation expense is a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate revenue, and SG&A is necessary to support our operations and required corporate activities. To compensate for these limitations, management uses this non-GAAP measure as a supplemental measure to other GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of our performance.

The following table reconciles net income to adjusted gross margin:
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary of Results
Revenue was $371.2 million and $383.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased revenue from our aftermarket services business, partially offset by increased revenue from our contract operations business. See “Contract Operations” and “Aftermarket Services” below for further details.
Revenue was $745.0 million and $730.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by increased revenue from our contract operations business, partially offset by decreased revenue from our aftermarket services business. See “Contract Operations” and “Aftermarket Services” below for further details.
Net income was $66.7 million and $63.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by higher adjusted gross margin from our contract operations business, as well as decreases in long-lived and other asset impairment, transaction-related costs and interest expense. These increases were partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization, SG&A and provision for income taxes, as well as lower gross margin from our aftermarket services business and a reduction in gain on sale of assets, net.
36
Net income was $140.5 million and $134.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by higher adjusted gross margin from our contract operations business, as well as decreases in transaction-related costs and interest expense. These increases were partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization, SG&A and provision for income taxes, as well as lower gross margin from our aftermarket services business.

Revenue in our contract operations business increased approximately $10.9 million due primarily to higher rates, an additional month of revenue from the compression units acquired in the NGCS Acquisition and revenue from additions of horsepower. These increases were partially offset by sales of active horsepower, including the compression units sold in the Flowco Disposition.
The decrease in cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was primarily due to a decrease of $3.0 million in lube oil expenses due to lower prices and a reduction in volumes purchased, as well as a decrease of $1.3 million in parts expense due to lower service activity levels. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in employee compensation and benefits expense. We anticipate lube oil cost pressure in the second half of 2026.
The increases in adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage were mainly driven by revenue growth combined with a reduction in cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization.

(34)
Revenue in our aftermarket services business decreased primarily due to lower parts sales as well as reduced customer demand for major maintenance service activity compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, which reflected higher parts sales, including the non-recurring sales of overhauled engines.
The decrease in cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was primarily driven by decreased service activity, including differences in the scope, timing and type of services performed.
37
Costs and Expenses
Selling, general and administrative. SG&A increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to higher long-term incentive compensation expense, including a $2.7 million increase in cash-settled incentive compensation expense as a result of an increase in our stock price, as well as a $0.6 million increase in information technology expense. These increases were partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to fixed assets additions, including depreciation and amortization associated with the compression units and intangible assets acquired in the NGCS Acquisition. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation associated with assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives as well as compression and other asset sales.
Long-lived and other asset impairment. The decrease in long-lived and other asset impairment was primarily due to the $8.7 million write-down of assets held for sale to estimated fair value less costs to sell as of June 30, 2025. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $2.8 million in compression fleet impairment.
We periodically review the future deployment of our idle compressors for units that are not of the type, configuration, condition, make or model that are cost efficient to maintain and operate. We also evaluate for impairment our idle units that have been culled from our compression fleet in prior years and are available for sale. The following table presents the results of our compression fleet impairment review, as recorded in our contract operations segment:
In connection with the classification of the disposal group as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2025, we adjusted the carrying value of the disposal group to its estimated fair value less costs to sell and recorded a write-down of $8.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, which is included in long-lived and other asset impairment in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 (“Business Transactions”) for further details.
Restructuring charges. Restructuring charges of $0.1 million during both the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 consisted of property disposal and closure costs. See Note 14 (“Restructuring Charges”) for further details.
38
Debt extinguishment gain. We recorded a debt extinguishment gain of $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 as a result of the 2028 Notes Redemption, due to the write-off of unamortized debt premium of $4.0 million, which was partially offset by the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.3 million.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted-average effective interest rate, as well as a lower average outstanding balance of long-term debt.
Transaction-related costs. We incurred professional fees, compensation and other costs related to the NGCS Acquisition during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 of $0.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively. We incurred compensation and other costs related to the TOPS Acquisition during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 of $0.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. See Note 3 (“Business Transactions”) for further details.
Gain on sale of assets, net. Gain on sale of assets, net decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to gains of $0.6 million on other asset sales, partially offset by losses of $0.3 million on compression asset sales, compared to gains of $3.6 million and $0.7 million on compression and other asset sales, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Other income, net. The decrease in other income, net was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from insurance and other settlements during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to the tax effect of the increase in book income and the limitation on executive compensation partially offset by the benefit from equity-settled long-term incentive compensation.
Effective tax rate
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
72
Revenue in our contract operations business increased approximately $41.4 million due primarily to higher rates, an additional four months of revenue from the compression units acquired in the NGCS Acquisition and revenue from additions of horsepower. These increases were partially offset by sales of active horsepower, including the compression units sold in the Flowco Disposition.
The increase in cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was primarily due to a $6.0 million increase in employee compensation and benefits expense and a $0.7 million increase in parts expense due to higher service activity levels. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $5.4 million in lube oil expenses primarily due to lower prices, partially offset by an increase in volumes purchased. We anticipate lube oil cost pressure in the second half of 2026.
39
The increases in adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage were mainly driven by revenue growth that outpaced the increase in cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Our ability to fund operations, finance capital expenditures, pay dividends and fund share repurchases depends on the levels of our operating cash flows and access to the capital and credit markets. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from our operations and our borrowing availability under our Credit Facility. Our cash flow is affected by numerous factors including prices and demand for our services, oil and natural gas exploration and production spending, conditions in the financial markets and other factors. We have no near-term maturities and believe that our operating cash flows and borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in the next twelve months and beyond.
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, may be material, will be upon terms and prices as we may determine and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
Cash Requirements
Our contract operations business is capital intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain and upgrade existing operations. Our capital spending is primarily dependent on the demand for our contract operations services and the availability of the type of compression equipment required for us to provide those contract operations services to our customers. Our capital requirements have consisted primarily of, and we anticipate will continue to consist of, the following:
Capital Expenditures
Growth Capital Expenditures. The majority of our growth capital expenditures are related to the acquisition cost of new compressors when our idle equipment cannot be reconfigured to economically fulfill a project’s requirements and the new compressor is expected to generate economic returns that exceed our cost of capital over the compressor’s expected useful life. In addition to newly-acquired compressors, growth capital expenditures include the upgrading of major components on an existing compression package where the current configuration of the compression package is no longer in demand and the compressor is not likely to return to an operating status without the capital expenditures. These expenditures substantially modify the operating parameters of the compression package such that it can be used in applications for which it previously was not suited.
Growth capital expenditures were $115.9 million and $206.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
42
Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Maintenance capital expenditures are related to major overhauls of significant components of a compression package, such as the engine, electric motor, compressor and cooler, which return the components to a like-new condition, but do not modify the application for which the compression package was designed.
Maintenance capital expenditures were $73.5 million and $55.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in maintenance capital expenditures was primarily due to an increase in scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities due to maintenance cycle requirements and the addition of the compression units acquired in the NGCS Acquisition.
Projected Capital Expenditures. We currently plan to spend approximately $400 million to $445 million on capital expenditures during 2026, primarily consisting of approximately $250 million to $275 million for growth capital expenditures and approximately $125 million to $135 million for maintenance capital expenditures.
Purchase Commitments. Our future capital purchase commitments consist of contractual obligations for new fleet assets that have been ordered but not yet received. As of June 30, 2026, we had contractual obligations to purchase $868.9 million of additional fleet assets through 2029, of which $258.8 million is due within the next 12 months.
Returning Capital to Stockholders
We continue to return capital to stockholders through quarterly dividends and share repurchases. On July 23, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share of common stock, or approximately $40.5 million, to be paid on August 11, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 4, 2026. Any future determinations to pay cash dividends to our stockholders will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations and credit and loan agreements in effect at that time and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. In October 2025, our Board of Directors approved an additional increase to our Share Repurchase Program of $100.0 million through December 31, 2026, and as of June 30, 2026, available capacity under the Share Repurchase Program was $113.2 million. The actual number of shares repurchased will depend on prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors, and will be determined at management’s discretion.
On April 1, 2026, we repurchased our 2028 Notes. The 2028 Notes were redeemed at 100% of their $800.0 million aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $25.0 million with borrowings under the Credit Facility. We recorded a debt extinguishment gain of $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2026 due to the write-off of unamortized debt premium of $4.0 million, which was partially offset by the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.3 million.
In November 2025, we repurchased our 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes were redeemed at 100% of their $300.0 million aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $2.6 million with borrowings under the Credit Facility. We recorded a debt extinguishment loss related to unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Sources of Cash
In December 2025, we amended our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to, among other things, remove the 0.10% per annum credit spread adjustment that was previously included in the calculation of the interest rate applicable to the loans made under the Credit Facility, decrease the applicable margin for all borrowings by 0.25% per annum such that the applicable margin for borrowings varies and decrease the commitment fee payable on the daily unused amount of the Credit Facility from 0.375% per annum to 0.25% per annum when less than 50% of the Credit Facility is utilized.
43
In May 2025, we amended our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity of the Credit Facility from $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion and provide for the ability for the borrowers to request additional increases in the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility to a total amount not to exceed $2.3 billion (with any increase being at the discretion of the lenders and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our Credit Facility had an average daily balance of $596.6 million and $589.9 million, respectively. The weighted-average annual interest rate on the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was 5.4% and 5.8% at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, there were $3.2 million letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility and the applicable margin on borrowings outstanding was 1.7%.
Cash Flows
Our cash flows, as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized below:
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities
Investing activities
Financing activities
Operating Activities
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to tax refund receipts of $41.5 million and higher adjusted gross margin from our contract operations business as a result of an overall increase in levels of activity.
Investing Activities
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to $296.6 million of cash consideration paid in the NGCS Acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as well as a $68.2 million decrease in capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
The change to net cash used in financing activities from net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to net repayments on our Credit Facility of $52.9 million and a $10.7 million increase in dividends paid to stockholders, partially offset by a $24.6 million decrease in shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program. Additionally, proceeds from the issuance of the 2034 Notes in January 2026 were offset by the 2028 Notes Redemption in April 2026.
44
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in the variable interest rate of our Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $865.6 million of variable interest rate indebtedness outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.4%.
A 1% increase or decrease in the effective interest rate on our Credit Facility’s outstanding balance at June 30, 2026 would have resulted in an annual increase or decrease in our interest expense of $8.7 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act included in this Form 10-Q as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2.
