Archrock Increases Quarterly Cash Dividend
26 Janvier 2023 - 11:10PM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
Archrock, Inc. (NYSE: AROC) (“Archrock”) today announced that its
Board of Directors has 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 will be paid on
February 14, 2023 to all stockholders of record on February 7,
2023.
The fourth quarter 2022 dividend per share
amount represents an increase of 3.3 percent over the Archrock
third quarter 2022 dividend level.
“Resilient demand for natural gas, compression
market momentum and strong execution set us up to deliver robust
results in 2023, a year that we expect to lay the foundation for a
multi-year upcycle in our business,” said Brad Childers, Archrock’s
President and Chief Executive Officer. “With our horsepower
utilization exiting December 2022 at 93%, we expect 2023 financial
performance to benefit from a full year of record-high utilization
and spot pricing.
“We have also made significant progress on our
balance sheet over the past several years, including the repayment
of more than $300 million in borrowings since the end of 2019.
Proactive debt reduction and a visible increase in future earnings
power give us line of sight to achieving a leverage ratio of below
4.0 times. Our increased dividend is supported by a consistent and
prudent expected dividend coverage ratio of approximately 2.0 times
in 2023.
“We remain committed to a balanced, all-of-the
above capital allocation approach: investing in our business at
attractive returns to grow profitably with our customers and
increasing cash returned to our stockholders over time, while
maintaining a healthy balance sheet and financial flexibility,”
concluded Childers.
