Nate Pendelton's questions to Archrock Inc (AROC) leadership • Q4 2024
Question
Nate Pendelton from Texas Capital asked about the expected cadence of CapEx spending throughout 2025 and inquired about the current thinking on share repurchases within the capital allocation strategy.
Answer
CFO Doug Aron indicated that CapEx spending would be front-loaded in Q1 due to carryover and strong demand, then become more rateable for the rest of the year. He also noted the potential for non-strategic asset sales to support cash flow. President and CEO Brad Childers described share repurchases as an opportunistic tool in the capital allocation framework, to be used when there is perceived weakness in the share price and discussed quarterly by the Board.
