Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (AROC)

0 of 3 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.

% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).

Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

From Archrock, Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-02-26)

Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)

• Our fleet is largely standardized around major components and key suppliers, which minimizes our fleet operating costs and maintenance capital requirements, reduces inventory costs, facilitates low–cost compressor resizing and improves technical proficiency in our maintenance and overhaul operations, which in turn allows us to achieve higher uptime while maintaining lower operating costs.
• All of our compressors are designed to automatically shut down if operating conditions deviate from a pre–determined range and substantially all are also equipped with telematic devices that enable us to remotely monitor the units.
• We believe that our regionally–based network, local presence, experience and in–depth knowledge of our customers' operating needs and growth plans enable us to respond to our customers' needs and meet their evolving demands on a timely basis.
• We believe our ability to efficiently meet our customers' evolving compression needs, our long–standing customer relationships and our large compression fleet will enable us to capitalize on what we believe are favorable long–term fundamentals for the U.S. natural gas compression industry.

Partnerships

• The following table summarizes the size of our natural gas compression fleet as of December 31, 2025: We typically enter into a master service agreement with each customer that sets forth the general terms and conditions of our services, and then enter into a separate supplemental service agreement for each distinct site at which we provide contract operations services.

Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)

• New regulations, proposed regulations and proposed modifications to existing regulations under the CAA, if implemented, could result in increased compliance costs.
• We are subject to a variety of governmental regulations; failure to comply with these regulations may result in administrative, civil and criminal enforcement measures and changes in these regulations could increase our costs or liabilities.
• Climate change legislation, regulatory initiatives and stakeholder pressures could result in increased compliance costs, financial risks and potential reduction in demand for our services.
• Climate change legislation and regulatory initiatives may arise from a variety of sources, including international, national, regional and state levels of government and associated administrative bodies, seeking to restrict or regulate emissions of GHGs such as carbon dioxide and methane.
