Archrock, Inc. Receives NYSE Notice Regarding Late Form 10-Q Filing

HOUSTON--()--Archrock, Inc. (NYSE:AROC) (“Archrock” or the “Company”) announced today that on May 17, 2016, it received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) indicating that Archrock is not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria established in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as a result of its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2016 (the “Form 10-Q”).

Archrock completed the spin-off (the “Spin-off”) of its international contract operations, international aftermarket services and global fabrication businesses into a standalone public company operating as Exterran Corporation on November 3, 2015. As previously disclosed in its Form 8-K dated April 26, 2016 and its Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on May 10, 2016, Archrock’s management and the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors are in the process of determining the impact to Archrock’s pre-Spin-off historical financial statements of Exterran Corporation’s identification of possible errors relating to the application of percentage-of-completion accounting principles to specific engineering, procurement and construction projects in the Middle East by its Belleli subsidiary, as described in Exterran Corporation’s Form 8-K filed on April 26, 2016. Because the investigation into the matter and the process of determining the impact to Archrock’s pre-Spin-off historical financial statements is ongoing, Archrock was not able to file the Form 10-Q by the required filing date. The Company is working toward filing the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.

The NYSE informed Archrock that, under the NYSE rules, the Company will have six months from May 17, 2016 to file the Form 10-Q with the SEC. Archrock can regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards at any time before that date by filing the Form 10-Q with the SEC. If the Company fails to file the Form 10-Q before the NYSE’s compliance deadline, the NYSE may grant, at its discretion, an extension of up to six additional months for the Company to regain compliance, depending on the specific circumstances. The letter from the NYSE also notes that the NYSE may nevertheless commence delisting proceedings at any time if it deems that the circumstances warrant.
