USA Compression Partners, LP Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2018-- USA Compression Partners, LP (NYSE: USAC) (“USA Compression” or the “Partnership”) announced today its financial and operating results for the second quarter 2018.

Second Quarter 2018 Highlights

  • Total revenues were $166.9 million.
  • Net income was $3.2 million.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $75.5 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $95.4 million.
  • Distributable Cash Flow was $51.4 million.
  • Announced cash distribution of $0.525 per common unit.
  • Distributable Cash Flow Coverage was 1.09x.
  • Cash Coverage was 1.09x.

On April 2, 2018, the Partnership completed the acquisition of the CDM compression business (the “USA Compression Predecessor”) from Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. for approximately $1.7 billion in consideration (the “CDM Acquisition”) and Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. completed the acquisition of the Partnership’s general partner, USA Compression GP, LLC (collectively, the “Transactions”). In connection with the Transactions, the general partner interest was converted into a noneconomic general partner interest and the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights were cancelled.

For accounting purposes, the USA Compression Predecessor is the acquirer in the business combination because its ultimate parent company, Energy Transfer Equity, L.P., obtained control of the Partnership through the acquisition of the Partnership’s general partner, USA Compression GP, LLC. Accordingly, any financial and operational results provided by the Partnership in future filings will reflect (i) the financial and operational results of the USA Compression Predecessor for all periods prior to the closing of the Transactions and (ii) the financial and operational results of the combined businesses, including the impact of the Transactions, for all periods subsequent to the closing of the Transactions. Therefore, the second quarter 2018 results are not comparable to prior periods.

“USA Compression had a strong second quarter, which reflected a full quarter of combined operations following the CDM Acquisition, which closed on April 2nd. The demand for our compression services continued the strength we’ve seen over the last few years, as our customers continue to build out critical infrastructure in our areas of operations. We’re already seeing benefits from the CDM Acquisition, and we expect that to continue as we fully integrate the two businesses, which we expect will be complete by the end of the year,” commented Eric D. Long, USA Compression’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Strong EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow resulted in reduced leverage of approximately 4.4x and an increased Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio of 1.09x for the quarter. While our combined utilization was 91.5% due to the inclusion of the CDM fleet, we expect that metric to over time move back to where USA Compression has more recently operated."

“For the quarter, we took delivery of 34,000 horsepower, all large horsepower units which were deployed to serve our customers. We expect to take delivery of approximately 95,000 horsepower in the second half of 2018, almost all of which consist of very large horsepower units already committed to customers or under contract with customers, and continue to have commitments for an additional 67,000 horsepower for delivery in the first half of 2019. The lead times to source new equipment continued to lengthen and now approach around 14 months for the largest horsepower units. We will prudently monitor the market signals from our upstream and midstream customers and make additional future large horsepower equipment orders as needed,” he added.

“Overall, we are very pleased with the quarter and are looking forward to fully integrating the CDM business and taking advantage of the strong marketplace for compression services, which continues to benefit from upward pressure on rates and long lead-times for new equipment.”

Expansion capital expenditures were $67.2 million, maintenance capital expenditures were $7.9 million and cash interest expense, net was $23.6 million for the second quarter of 2018.

On July 19, 2018, the Partnership announced a second quarter cash distribution of $0.525 per common unit, which corresponds to an annualized distribution rate of $2.10 per common unit. The distribution will be paid on August 10, 2018 to common unitholders of record as of the close of business on July 30, 2018. For the second quarter of 2018, the Partnership’s Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio was 1.09x and Cash Coverage Ratio was 1.09x.

Liquidity and Long-Term Debt

As of June 30, 2018, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants under its $1.6 billion revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2018, the Partnership had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $950.0 million, $650.0 million of borrowing base availability and, subject to compliance with the applicable financial covenants, available borrowing capacity of $500.1 million. As of June 30, 2018, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 6.875% senior notes due 2026 was $725.0 million.

Full-Year 2018 Outlook

USA Compression is providing the following full-year 2018 guidance to incorporate the expected results following the closing of the Transactions on April 2, 2018 and the use of the USA Compression Predecessor’s results of operations for all periods prior to the closing of the Transactions:

  • Net income range of $10.0 million to $30.0 million;
  • A forward-looking estimate of net cash provided by operating activities is not provided because the items necessary to estimate net cash provided by operating activities, in particular the change in operating assets and liabilities, are not accessible or estimable at this time. The Partnership does not anticipate the changes in operating assets and liabilities to be material, but changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue could be significant, such that the amount of net cash provided by operating activities would vary substantially from the amount of projected Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow;
  • Adjusted EBITDA range of $310.0 million to $330.0 million; and
  • Distributable Cash Flow range of $170.0 million to $190.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release includes the Non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, gross operating margin, Distributable Cash Flow, Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio and Cash Coverage Ratio.

Management views Adjusted EBITDA as one of its primary tools for evaluating the Partnership’s results of operations, and the Partnership tracks this item on a monthly basis both as an absolute amount and as a percentage of revenue compared to the prior month, year-to-date, prior year and budget. The Partnership defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and income tax expense. The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus impairment of compression equipment, impairment of goodwill, interest income on capital lease, unit-based compensation expense, severance charges, certain transaction fees, loss (gain) on disposition of assets and other. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of its financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to assess:

  • the financial performance of the Partnership’s assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of the Partnership’s assets;
  • the viability of capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities;
  • the ability of the Partnership’s assets to generate cash sufficient to make debt payments and pay distributions; and
  • the Partnership’s operating performance as compared to those of other companies in its industry without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, it provides a more complete understanding of the Partnership’s performance than GAAP results alone. Management also believes that external users of its financial statements benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating the results of the Partnership’s business.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance and liquidity. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Gross operating margin is defined as revenue less cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. Management believes that gross operating margin is useful as a supplemental measure of the Partnership’s operating profitability. Gross operating margin is impacted primarily by the pricing trends for service operations and cost of operations, including labor rates for service technicians, volume and per unit costs for lubricant oils, quantity and pricing of routine preventative maintenance on compression units and property tax rates on compression units. Gross operating margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating income (loss), its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, gross operating margin as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Because the Partnership capitalizes assets, depreciation and amortization of equipment is a necessary element of its costs. To compensate for the limitations of gross operating margin as a measure of the Partnership’s performance, management believes that it is important to consider operating income (loss) determined under GAAP, as well as gross operating margin, to evaluate the Partnership’s operating profitability. A reconciliation of gross operating margin to operating income (loss) is provided in this news release.

Distributable Cash Flow is defined as net income (loss) plus non-cash interest expense, non-cash income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, unit-based compensation expense, impairment of compression equipment, impairment of goodwill, certain transaction fees, severance charges, loss (gain) on disposition of assets, proceeds from insurance recovery and other, less distributions to Preferred Units and maintenance capital expenditures.

Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance and liquidity. Moreover, our Distributable Cash Flow as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Management believes Distributable Cash Flow is an important measure of operating performance because such measure allows management, investors and others to compare basic cash flows the Partnership generates (prior to any retained cash reserves established by the Partnership’s general partner and the effect of the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”)) to the cash distributions the Partnership expects to pay its unitholders.

Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio, a Non-GAAP measure, is defined as Distributable Cash Flow divided by distributions declared to limited partner unitholders in respect of such period. Cash Coverage Ratio is defined as Distributable Cash Flow divided by cash distributions expected to be paid to limited partner unitholders in respect of such period, after taking into account the non-cash impact of the DRIP. Management believes Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio and Cash Coverage Ratio are important measures of operating performance because they allow management, investors and others to gauge the Partnership’s ability to pay cash distributions to limited partner unitholders using the cash flows the Partnership generates. The Partnership’s Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio and Cash Coverage Ratio as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

This news release also contains a forward-looking estimate of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow projected to be generated by the Partnership in its 2018 fiscal year. A forward-looking estimate of net cash provided by operating activities and reconciliations of the forward-looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities are not provided because the items necessary to estimate net cash provided by operating activities, in particular the change in operating assets and liabilities, are not accessible or estimable at this time. The Partnership does not anticipate the changes in operating assets and liabilities to be material, but changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue could be significant, such that the amount of net cash provided by operating activities would vary substantially from the amount of projected Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow.

See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for Adjusted EBITDA reconciled to net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, and net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities reconciled to Distributable Cash Flow, Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio and Cash Coverage Ratio.
