Current report
On October 5, 2026, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with a third-party (the “Buyer”) to dispose of our assembly facility in Tulsa Oklahoma (the “Tulsa Facility”) for $4.75 million. As described in the APA, the sale encompassed the assignment of our leasehold interest and obligations, all leasehold improvements, including buildings affixed to the underlying property and machinery and equipment located in the assembly facility. The sale of the Tulsa Facility is expected to be completed by the end of November 2026.

Adjusted Net Income
Current report
“Adjusted Net Income” is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income adjusted for nonrecurring interest income attributable to income tax refunds, impairments, nonrecurring restructuring charges, including severance, and costs directly attributable to strategic transactions and integration expenses, including for the Flatrock Acquisition, and income tax effects of these adjustments. “Adjusted Net Income per diluted share” is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. We believe that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share amounts provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance on a recurring basis. Adjusted Net Income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

As referenced above, we recently completed our cloud-based ERP system implementation project for which we have capitalized certain qualified costs and expensed others during 2025 and through the early part of the third quarter of 2026. As the implementation of the system was completed during the third quarter of 2026, we began amortization of the capitalized portion of the implementation costs for $0.3 million. This noncash charge will continue in future periods consistent with the term of the underlying cloud service hosting agreement.

We rent, design, install, service and maintain natural gas and electric compressors and related equipment and parts for our customers’ oil and gas production and processing facilities, generally using equipment from third-party fabricators and OEM suppliers. Substantially all of our compressor assembly is done by third-party contractors while a limited level of assembly work remains in-house at our Tulsa, Oklahoma facility. Our primary focus is on the rental of natural gas engine and electric motor drive compressors. Our rental contracts generally provide for initial terms of 12 to 60 months, with our larger horsepower units having longer initial terms than our small and medium horsepower units. After the initial term of our rental contracts, most of our customers have continued to rent our compressors on a month-to-month basis. Rental amounts are billed monthly in advance and include maintenance of the rented compressor units.

We generate revenue from renting, maintaining and servicing compressors to our customers under contractual arrangements. The underlying rental service agreements, which all qualify as operating leases under GAAP, generally include a fee for servicing the compressor unit as well as surcharges for fluids during the rental term. Our rental agreement terms typically range from 12 to 60 months. Our revenue is recognized over time, with monthly payments over the term of the agreement. After the terms of the agreement have expired, a customer may renew its agreement or continue renting on a monthly basis thereafter. The primary costs associated with providing our compressor fleet to our customers includes routine maintenance and repairs, fluids, primarily motor oils, and labor and related support costs for our field service facilities and service employees that are geographically dispersed throughout our operating regions.

Previous wording
Rental revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025 due primarily to an increase in rented horsepower and units. The increase in revenue reflects a continuing trend of growing demand for our large horsepower units (380 horsepower and greater) which provide for higher rental rates and realized adjusted gross margins. In addition, the Flatrock Acquisition provided rental revenues of $1.9 million during the period from the Acquisition Date through June 30, 2026. Our consolidated utilized horsepower increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year periods which reflects the continued addition of large horsepower units to our fleet consistent with our emphasis on larger units over the past several years, as well as the retirement of certain older medium and small horsepower units from the fleet. In addition, we added 87,233 of rented horsepower from 270 rented units in June 2026 attributable to the Flatrock Acquisition. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, we placed into service a total of 180 newly set units, including 137 from our existing fleet and 43 new units. Of those unit sets, a total of 61 were large horsepower units and 43 of those were new units to the fleet.
Current wording
Rental revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025 due primarily to an increase in rented horsepower and a full quarter impact from the Flatrock Acquisition as well as pricing increases with certain customers. The increase in revenue reflects a continuing trend of growing demand for our large horsepower units (380 horsepower and greater) which provide for higher rental rates and realized adjusted gross margins. In addition, the Flatrock Acquisition provided rental revenues of $9.5 million and $11.4 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2026, and the period from the Acquisition Date through September 30, 2026. Our consolidated utilized horsepower increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year periods which reflects the continued addition of large horsepower units to our fleet consistent with our emphasis on larger units over the past several years, as well as the retirement of certain older medium and small horsepower units from the fleet. The overall increase in utilized horsepower also includes 90,847 of rented horsepower from 277 rented units attributable to the Flatrock Acquisition. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we placed into service a total of 332 units, inclusive of contract renewals, including 280 from our existing fleet and 52 new units. Of those unit sets, a total of 93 were large horsepower units and 52 of those were new units to the fleet.
Previous wording
The cost of rentals increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, consistent with revenues, due to the effects of supporting a larger quantity of utilized horsepower and inflationary pressures primarily in labor and parts costs. Furthermore, we experienced higher unit-redeployment costs consistent with a larger volume of unit sets as compared to the prior year periods. We also experienced higher lubricant costs during the 2026 periods due primarily to the larger quantity of utilized horsepower. An expanding portion of our rented compressor units utilize our proprietary System Management and Recovery Technology (“SMART”) and telemetry software which reduces unplanned shutdowns and increases productivity. Despite inflationary pressure associated with our primary cost components, the SMART and telemetry technology allows us to streamline and manage our maintenance activities more efficiently and thereby mitigate the costs to a manageable extent. As a percentage of revenue, cost of rentals, specifically labor and replacement parts, for the 2026 periods declined compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. As a result of these factors, our adjusted gross margin increased on both an absolute basis as well as a percentage of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, when compared to the corresponding periods in 2025.
Current wording
The cost of rentals increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, consistent with revenues, due to the effects of supporting a larger quantity of utilized horsepower and the effect of a full quarter of costs attributable to legacy Flatrock revenues as well as inflationary pressures primarily in labor and lubricant oil costs. Furthermore, we experienced higher unit-redeployment costs consistent with a larger volume of idle unit sets as compared to the prior year periods. An expanding portion of our rented compressor units utilize our proprietary System Management and Recovery Technology (“SMART”) which reduces unplanned shutdowns thereby mitigating related costs and increasing productivity. As a percentage of revenue, cost of rentals, specifically labor, replacement parts, and fixed overhead, for the 2026 periods declined compared to the corresponding periods in 2025, though unit-redeployment costs increased partially offsetting the stated decline. As a result of these factors, our adjusted gross margin increased on both an absolute basis as well as a percentage of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the corresponding periods in 2025.
Previous wording
We generate revenue primarily from the sale of compressor and other parts and to a lesser extent repair and overhaul services. Costs of sales primarily include purchases of component materials. In addition, our costs of sales include overhead and related support costs attributable to our storage, assembly facilities including Midland, Texas through its closure at the end of March 2025.
Current wording
We generate revenue primarily from the sale of compressor and other parts and to a lesser extent repair and overhaul services. Costs of sales primarily include purchases of component materials. In addition, our costs of sales include overhead and related support costs attributable to our storage and assembly facilities including the Tulsa Facility, which we expect to be sold in the fourth quarter of 2026, and the Midland, Texas facility currently held for sale through its closure at the end of March 2025.
Previous wording
Sales revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 due primarily to off-cycle sales of flare parts compared to the quarterly period during 2025 and declined for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025 due primarily to the phasing out of direct sales of compressors and repair/overhaul work which was the primary focus of the former Midland Facility. The costs to support our sales revenues declined on an absolute basis during both periods, primarily reflecting a lower volume of business. While marginally positive for the periods in 2026 due primarily to the off-cycle sale of flare parts, sales represented a negligible contribution to gross margin in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.
Current wording
Sales revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2026, due primarily to Flatrock-related parts sales compared to the quarterly period during 2025 and declined for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025 due primarily to the phasing out of direct sales of compressors and repair/overhaul work which was the primary focus of the former Midland Facility. The costs to support our sales revenues increased during the three months ended September 30, 2026, due primarily to unabsorbed overhead costs attributable to the Tulsa Facility resulting from winding down operations in advance of the expected sale. The cost of sales declined during the nine-month period in 2026, primarily reflecting a lower volume of business. While marginally positive for the nine-month period in 2026 due primarily to the off-cycle sale of flare parts, sales represented a negligible contribution to our total gross margin in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.
Previous wording
Third party aftermarket services revenues, costs and absolute gross margin decreased for three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the quarterly period during 2025 due primarily to lower activity while revenues and costs increased marginally for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period during 2025; however, the gross margin percentage declined over the prior six month period in 2025. The increase in revenue and costs during the six months ended June 30, 2026 is primarily attributable to a marginally higher volume of unit commissioning work performed during the six-month period in 2026 compared to 2025. The margin decline is attributable to higher level of new unit set freight services passed on to customers during the 2025 periods. Aftermarket services represented an insignificant portion of our gross margin in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.
Current wording
Third party aftermarket services revenues, costs and absolute gross margin increased marginally for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding periods during 2025; additionally, the adjusted gross margin percentage increased for both periods compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. The increase in revenue and costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, is primarily attributable to a marginally higher volume of unit commissioning work performed during the periods in 2026 compared to 2025. The margin percentage increase is attributable to a higher level of lower margin new unit set freight services passed on to customers during the 2025 periods. Aftermarket services represented an insignificant portion of our gross margin in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.
Previous wording
SG&A expenses increased during the three andsix months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to thecorresponding periods in 2025. In general, the increase in our total SG&A expenses reflects a higher level of cost to appropriately scale our administrative function commensurate with our overall organizational growth. Excluding non-cash share-based compensation and the strategic transaction costs associated with the Flatrock Acquisition, our primary SG&A expenses have declined as a percentage of our revenues in both of the 2026 periods as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. The increase in primary SG&A expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the 2025 periodswas impacted by (i) higher professional fees and public company costs of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, including costs associated with our recent Redomestication, (ii) higher salaries and benefits, including short-term incentive compensation, of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, reflecting support staff growth and performance, (iii) higher occupancy and office costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, (iv) $0.2 million attributable to Flatrock’s legacy administrative operations from the Acquisition Date through June 30, 2026, and (v) higher IT support costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in support of our growth initiatives and noncapitalizable costs associated with certain IT system implementation projects.
Current wording
SG&A expenses increased during the three andnine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to thecorresponding periods in 2025. In general, the increase in our total SG&A expenses reflects a higher level of cost to appropriately scale our administrative function commensurate with our overall organizational growth. Excluding non-cash share-based compensation, the strategic transaction costs and integration expenses associated with the Flatrock Acquisition and the amortization of technology implementation costs of our new cloud-based ERP system, our primary SG&A expenses have declined as a percentage of our revenues in both of the 2026 periods as compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. The net increase in primary SG&A expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the 2025 periods primarily reflected (i) higher combined salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, and commissions of $2.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, reflecting performance and support staff growth, including a full quarter with legacy Flatrock personnel, (ii) higher professional fees of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, including costs associated with our recent Redomestication, (iii) higher occupancy and office costs of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, including the costs of relocating from our Former Headquarters Property to a new leased facility in Midland, Texas and (iv) lower noncapitalizable IT support costs of $0.2 million during the 2026 quarterly period and higher similar costs of $0.1 million during the nine month period as the new ERP system implementation project concluded during the third quarter of 2026.
Previous wording
Our equity classified stock-based compensation increased during the 2026 periods over 2025 due primarily to a higher mix of performance-based share unit awards, or PSUs, for our executive officers in the 2026 periods. PSUs generally have a higher grant-date fair value than traditional restricted stock and restricted stock units.
Current wording
Our equity classified stock-based compensation increased during the 2026 periods over 2025 due primarily to a higher mix of performance-based share unit awards, or PSUs, for our senior leadership in the 2026 periods. PSUs generally have a higher grant-date fair value than traditional restricted stock and restricted stock units. In addition, we have expanded the number of employees eligible for stock-based compensation consistent with our growth and focus on designing enhanced compensation programs for our highly-skilled technician workforce supporting our customers.
Previous wording
In addition, we incurred $3.3 million of strategic transaction costs in connection with the Flatrock Acquisition comprised primarily of professional fees for certain advisors and consultants to assist us with various activities to develop, execute and report the transaction. We anticipate additional transaction costs to be incurred during the third quarter of 2026, primarily attributable to advisory costs associated with the valuation, purchase price allocation and financial reporting attributable to the Flatrock Acquisition. In addition, we also expect to incur integration costs during the second half of the year to incorporate the legacy Flatrock business into our ERP, human resources and compensation and benefits systems, among others.
Current wording
Through September 30, 2026, we incurred $4.1 million of strategic transaction costs and integration expense in connection with the Flatrock Acquisition comprised primarily of professional fees for certain advisors and consultants who supported us with various activities to develop, execute, and report the transaction. We expect to incur additional integration expenses during the fourth quarter of 2026 including retention bonuses and severance benefits to appropriately align our support staff and incorporate the legacy Flatrock business into our ERP, human resources and compensation and benefits systems, among others.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three andsix months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to thecorresponding periods in 2025, due primarily to depreciation expense associated with the large horsepower units placed in service during 2025 continuing through June 30, 2026. These higher horsepower unit additions are reflective of our strategic plans to concentrate our business development on these higher margin applications. Furthermore, our equipment additions, during the 2026 periods, primarily compressor units and service vehicles, reflect higher overall costs due to broad inflationary pressures as compared to the 2025 periods. Amortization of the intangible assets acquired from Flatrock began on the Acquisition Date and the impact during the periods presented was not material.
Current wording
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three andnine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to thecorresponding periods in 2025, due primarily to depreciation expense associated with the large horsepower units placed in service during 2025 continuing through September 30, 2026 as well as the additions to fixed assets, including finance lease right-of-use assets, attributable to the Flatrock Acquisition.

During six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a nominal increase to the allowance for obsolescence primarily attributable to the transfer of inventory that remained useful from our former Midland, Texas facility, in connection with its closing in March 2025, to our other operating facilities. All of the remaining inventory from the Midland, Texas facility that was subject to the allowance for obsolescence was written off during the three months ended March 31, 2025. There was no impact on our operating income as the Midland allowance was eliminated.

Interest expense increased for the three andsix months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to thecorresponding periods in 2025, due primarily to (i) higher interest costs resulting from higher average outstanding borrowings partially offset by the effect of lower average interest rates and (ii) the effect of lower capitalized interest due primarily to the volume and timing of the completion of certain compressor assembly projects in the 2026 periods as well as lower interest rates. In addition, amortization of debt issue costs increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the comparable periods in 2025 due primarily to the amortization of costs associated withthe Fifth Amendment that was completed in June 2026 and a previous amendment that was completed in April 2025. The lower average interest rates are consistent with the Federal Reserve interest rate reductions implemented in the second half of 2025 as well as the lower interest rates attributable to the previous amendment.

For interim periods, our income tax expense is computed based upon our estimated annual effective tax rate and any discrete items that impact the interim periods. Our estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of a higher effective tax rate attributable to state and local income taxes including the impact of projected apportionment of taxable income between states with different tax rates. In addition, the periods in 2026 were adversely impacted by a discrete item attributable to the Texas Comptroller’s amendments to Rule 3.588; a change in law enacted in June 2026 that conformed the Texas cost of goods sold depreciation to current federal law. This discrete item resulted in a 2.6% increase to our annualized effective rate. The Redomestication had no impact on the application of the amendments to Rule 3.588 regarding our income subject to taxation in Texas or any other state in which we operate.

While the amendments to Rule 3.588 did not increase the Texas franchise tax rate, the corresponding remeasurement of our existing deferred income taxes resulted in an adverse impact to our income tax expense for the 2026 period. These discrete items resulted in a 1.7% increase to our annualized effective rate for 2026.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Our cash flows from operating activities increased by $16.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the comparable period in 2025. The net increase is primarily attributable to the receipt of $13.8 million in the first half of 2026 related to income tax refunds and associated interest as well as the favorable effects of higher realized margins attributable to growth in our high horsepower unit rentals. These increases were substantially offset by higher working capital uses including (i) increases in our maintenance parts inventory in support of our growing fleet, (ii) implementation costs capitalized and paid for software services and (iii) higher interest payments attributable to higher outstanding borrowings during the 2026 period as compared to the 2025 period.
