Archrock, Inc. Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2015 Results

Full-year 2015 EBITDA, as adjusted, of $373.2 million, up from $330.1 million in 2014
Gross margin for contract operations remained steady at 59 percent for the fourth quarter and full year 2015

HOUSTON, Feb. 25, 2016 - Archrock, Inc. (NYSE: AROC) today reported EBITDA, as adjusted (as defined below), of $86.0 million for the fourth quarter 2015, as compared to $90.7 million for the third quarter 2015 and $92.4 million for the fourth quarter 2014.
Revenue was $241.3 million in the fourth quarter 2015, compared to $248.9 million in the third quarter 2015 and $262.8 million in the fourth quarter 2014.
EBITDA, as adjusted, was $373.2 million for 2015, compared to $330.1 million for 2014. Revenue was $998.1 million for 2015, compared to $959.2 million for 2014.
Archrock, Inc. declared a dividend of $0.1875 per share of common stock for the fourth quarter 2015, a rate of $0.75 per share on an annualized basis. The dividend was paid on February 16, 2016, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 9, 2016.
“Archrock’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2015 operating performance was strong with solid operating gross margins throughout the year, despite the headwinds in the market and a decline of 87,000 net operating horsepower in the fourth quarter,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “With continued challenges in the market, we are taking aggressive action now to reduce costs to maximize our cash flow and take full advantage of the opportunity our new structure provides for us to continue to simplify and streamline our company.
“In the fourth quarter, Archrock incurred a non-cash, long-lived asset impairment charge of $87.4 million as we elected to write off certain compression units in our idle fleet that did not warrant reinvestment. Removing these compression units furthers our progress in standardizing our fleet, which is the largest in the industry.”
Net income from continuing operations attributable to Archrock stockholders, excluding certain items, for the fourth quarter 2015 was $7.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted common share. Excluded items include a non-cash valuation allowance for foreign tax credits of $86.0 million and pretax items totaling $103.6, comprised of a non-cash long-lived asset impairment charge of $87.4 million, a goodwill impairment of $3.7 million, restructuring charges of $3.3 million and debt extinguishment costs of $9.2 million related to our recently completed spin-off transaction. Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Archrock stockholders, excluding certain items, was $9.9 million, or a loss of $0.15 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2015. Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Archrock stockholders, excluding certain items, for the fourth quarter 2014 was $9.4 million, or a loss of $0.13 per diluted common share.
Net income from continuing operations attributable to Archrock stockholders, excluding certain items, for 2015 was $0.08 million, or a loss of $0.01 per diluted common share. Excluded items include $86.0 million of income tax expense related to a foreign tax credit valuation allowance and pretax items totaling $142.9million, comprised





of non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges of $125.0 million, goodwill impairment of $3.7 million, debt extinguishment charges of $9.2 million, restructuring charges of $4.7 million, and expensed acquisition costs of $0.3 million. Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Archrock stockholders, excluding items, for 2014 was $12 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share. Net loss attributable to Archrock stockholders was $105.8 million, or $1.55 per diluted common share, for 2015, compared to net income of $98.2 million, or $1.47 per diluted common share, for 2014.

(1) Management believes EBITDA, as adjusted, and gross margin provide useful information to investors because these non-GAAP measures, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. In addition, management uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a valuation measure.

(1) Management believes EBITDA, as adjusted, diluted net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Archrock common stockholders per common share, excluding items, and gross margin provide useful information to investors because these non-GAAP measures, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. In addition, management uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a valuation measure. 
 
 
 
 
 
(2) Diluted net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Archrock common stockholders per common share, excluding items, was computed using the two-class method to determine the net income (loss) per share for each class of common stock and participating security (restricted stock and certain of our stock settled restricted stock units) according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Accordingly, we have excluded net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to participating securities, excluding items, of $2.1 million, $0.1 million, and $0.1million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, from our calculation of diluted net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Exterran common stockholders per common share, excluding items.

(1) Management believes gross margin provides useful information to investors because this non-GAAP measure, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone.  Management uses this non-GAAP measures as a supplemental measure to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons.
(2) Cash available for dividend, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as distributions received by us from Archrock Partners, L.P., plus our deconsolidated gross margin, less the following deconsolidated items: maintenance and other capital expenditures, cash selling, general and administrative expense, cash interest expense associated with our debt and cash taxes. Management uses cash available for dividend, as a supplemental performance measure. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned dividends.
(3) Defined as cash available for dividend for the period divided by dividend declared for the period to all shareholders.
