能源基础设施公司 Archrock 7 月 22 日表示,将以约 9.83 亿美元现金和股票从阿波罗全球管理基金手中收购合同天然气压缩服务提供商 Total Operations and Production Services (TOPS)。

Archrock 首席执行官布拉德·奇尔德斯 (Brad Childers) 在一份声明中表示:“预计此次交易将使每股收益增加 10% 以上,到 2025 年每股可用于分红的现金增加 20% 以上。”

总部位于德克萨斯州休斯顿的 Archrock 将向 TOPS 发行 687 万股新股,并将通过股权和债务相结合的方式为 8.26 亿美元的现金部分提供资金。

Archrock 股价在盘后交易中下跌 6.9%。

该交易预计将于 2024 年底完成。

Energy infrastructure company Archrock said on July 22 it would buy contract gas compression services provider Total Operations and Production Services (TOPS) for about $983 million in cash and stock from Apollo Global Management funds.

The acquisition will increase Archrock's compression capacity by 30% to nearly 2.2 million operating horsepower and its Permian-based assets will represent more than half of its total operating horsepower.

The transaction comes as dealmaking in the Permian shale basin, the largest U.S. oilfield that straddles West Texas and New Mexico, has extended to this year after a bumper 2023.

"The transaction is expected to be more than 10% accretive to earnings per share and more than 20% accretive to cash available for dividend per share in 2025," Archrock CEO Brad Childers said in a statement.

Houston, Texas-based Archrock will issue 6.87 million new shares to TOPS, and will fund the $826 million cash portion with a combination of equity and debt.

Archrock's shares were down 6.9% in extended trading.

The deal is expected to close by the end of 2024.
