NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Organization and Description of Business

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” “the Partnership” and similar language refer to USA Compression Partners, LP, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are a Delaware limited partnership. Through our operating subsidiaries, we provide compression services under fixed-term contracts with customers in the natural gas and crude oil industries, using natural gas compression packages that we design, engineer, own, operate and maintain. We also own and operate a fleet of equipment used to provide natural gas treating services, such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide removal, cooling and dehydration. We primarily provide compression services in a number of shale plays throughout the U.S., including the Utica, Marcellus, Permian Basin, Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford, Mississippi Lime, Granite Wash, Woodford, Barnett, Haynesville, Niobrara and Fayetteville shales.

USA Compression GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as our general partner and is referred to herein as the “General Partner.” The General Partner is wholly owned by Energy Transfer.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned by us.

(2) Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

In the opinion of our management, such financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on February 15, 2022 (our “2021 Annual Report”).

Use of Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which includes the use of estimates and assumptions by management that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Although these estimates were based on management’s available knowledge of current and expected future events, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances. We consider investments in highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We evaluate our allowance for credit losses related to our trade accounts receivable measured at amortized cost. Due to the short-term nature of our trade accounts receivable, we consider the amortized cost to be the same as the carrying amount of the receivable, excluding the allowance for credit losses.

Table of Contents

Our determination of the allowance for credit losses requires us to make estimates and judgments regarding our customers’ ability to pay amounts due. We continuously evaluate the financial strength of our customers and the overall business climate in which our customers operate, and make adjustments to the allowance for credit losses as necessary. We evaluate the financial strength of our customers by reviewing the aging of their receivables, our collection experience with the customer, correspondence, financial information and third-party credit ratings. We evaluate the business climate in which our customers operate by reviewing various publicly available materials regarding our customers’ industry, including the solvency of various companies in the industry.

Inventories

Inventories consist of serialized and non-serialized parts used primarily on compression units. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Serialized parts inventories are determined using the specific identification cost method, while non-serialized parts inventories are determined using the weighted average cost method. Purchases of inventories are considered operating activities on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost except for (i) certain acquired assets which are recorded at fair value on their respective acquisition dates and (ii) impaired assets which are recorded at fair value on the last impairment evaluation date for which an adjustment was required. Overhauls and major improvements that increase the value or extend the life of compression equipment are capitalized and depreciated over three to five years. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization.

When property and equipment is retired or sold, its carrying value and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and any associated gains or losses are recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period of sale or disposition.

Capitalized interest is calculated by multiplying our monthly effective interest rate on outstanding variable-rate indebtedness by the amount of qualifying costs, which include upfront payments to acquire certain compression units. Capitalized interest was approximately $208,000 and $346,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and approximately $98,000 and $101,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets with recorded values that are not expected to be recovered through future cash flows are written down to estimated fair value. We test long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying value may not be recoverable or will no longer be utilized in the operating fleet. The most common circumstance requiring compression units to be evaluated for impairment is when idle units do not meet the desired performance characteristics of our revenue generating horsepower.

The carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset, an impairment loss equal to the amount of the carrying value exceeding the fair value of the asset is recognized. The fair value of the asset is measured using quoted market prices or, in the absence of quoted market prices, based on an estimate of discounted cash flows, the expected net sale proceeds compared to the other similarly configured fleet units we recently sold or a review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use.

Refer to Note 5 for more detailed information about impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which is the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows. The estimated useful lives of our intangible assets range from 15 to 25 years.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of our services or goods. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange

Table of Contents

for providing services or transferring goods. Incidental items, if any, that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expenses.

Income Taxes

USA Compression Partners, LP is organized as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As a result, our partners are responsible for U.S. federal and state income taxes based upon their distributive share of our items of income, gain, loss or deduction. Texas also imposes on partnerships an entity-level income tax that is based on Texas sourced taxable margin (the “Texas Margin Tax”) and such tax impacts are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our wholly owned finance subsidiary, USA Compression Finance Corp. (“Finance Corp”), is a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and such tax impacts, if any, are also included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pass Through Taxes

Sales taxes incurred on behalf of, and passed through to, customers are accounted for on a net basis.

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards on fair value measurements establish a framework for measuring fair value and stipulate disclosures about fair value measurements. The standards apply to recurring and non-recurring financial and non-financial assets and liabilities that require or permit fair value measurements. Among the required disclosures is the fair value hierarchy of inputs we use to value an asset or a liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are those other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

As of June 30, 2022, our financial instruments consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and long-term debt. The book values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable are representative of fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amount of our revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the floating interest rates associated with the debt.

The fair value of our Senior Notes 2026 and Senior Notes 2027 were estimated using quoted prices in inactive markets and are considered Level 2 measurements.

The following table summarizes the aggregate principal amount and fair value of our Senior Notes 2026 and Senior Notes 2027 (in thousands):


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Senior Notes 2026, aggregate principal	$	725,000	$	725,000
Fair value of Senior Notes 2026	659,750		755,813
Senior Notes 2027, aggregate principal	750,000		750,000
Fair value of Senior Notes 2027	675,000		787,500

Operating Segment

We operate in a single business segment, the compression services business.

(3) Trade Accounts Receivable

The allowance for credit losses, which was $1.3 million and $2.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses included in our existing accounts receivable.

Table of Contents

The following summarizes activity within our trade accounts receivable allowance for credit losses balance (in thousands):


	Allowance for Credit Losses
Balance as of December 31, 2021	$	2,057
Current-period provision for expected credit losses	(700)
Writeoffs charged against the allowance	(103)

Balance as of June 30, 2022	$	1,254

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized reversals of $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of our provision for expected credit losses. Favorable market conditions for customers due to higher commodity prices was the primary factor contributing to the decrease to the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a reversal of $1.3 million of our provision for expected credit losses. Improved market conditions for customers due to a recovery in commodity prices was the primary factor contributing to the decrease to the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the future deployment of our idle fleet under current market conditions. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we determined to retire 10 compressor units for a total of approximately 1,400 horsepower that were previously used to provide compression services in our business. As a result, we recorded an impairment of compression equipment of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we determined to retire 10 and 22 compressor units, respectively, for a total of approximately 4,000 and 9,600 horsepower, respectively, that were previously used to provide compression services in our business. As a result, we recorded impairments of compression equipment of $2.4 million and $5.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

The primary causes for these impairments were: (i) units were not considered marketable in the foreseeable future, (ii) units were subject to excessive maintenance costs or (iii) units were unlikely to be accepted by customers due to certain performance characteristics of the unit, such as the inability to meet current quoting criteria without excessive retrofitting costs. These compression units were written down to their respective estimated salvage values, if any.

No impairment was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

(7) Lease Accounting

Lessor Accounting

In 2014, we granted a bargain purchase option to a customer with respect to certain compressor packages leased to the customer. The bargain purchase option provided the customer with an option to acquire the equipment at a value significantly less than the fair market value at the end of the lease term.

Table of Contents

During the second quarter of 2021, the customer exercised its bargain purchase option resulting in a gain of $1.1 million recognized within gain on disposition of assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Prior to the customer exercising its bargain purchase option, revenue and interest income related to the lease was recognized over the lease term. We recognized maintenance revenue within contract operations revenue and interest income within interest expense, net. Maintenance revenue and interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Credit Agreement has an aggregate commitment of $1.6 billion (subject to availability under our borrowing base), with a further potential increase of up to $200 million. The Partnership's obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the guarantors party to the Credit Agreement, which currently consists of all of the Partnership's subsidiaries. In addition, the Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by: (i) substantially all of the Partnership’s assets and substantially all of the assets of the guarantors party to the Credit Agreement, excluding real property and other customary exclusions; and (ii) all of the equity interests of the Partnership’s U.S. restricted subsidiaries (subject to customary exceptions).

DRIP

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, distributions of $1.0 million were reinvested under the DRIP resulting in the issuance of 61,700 common units.

Warrants

As of December 31, 2021, we had two tranches of warrants outstanding, which included warrants to purchase (i) 5,000,000 common units with a strike price of $17.03 per common unit and (ii) 10,000,000 common units with a strike price of $19.59 per common unit (collectively, the “Warrants”).

On April 27, 2022, the tranche of Warrants with the right to purchase 5,000,000 common units with a strike price of $17.03 per common unit was exercised in full by the holders. The exercise of the warrants was net settled by the Partnership for 534,308 common units.

As of June 30, 2022, the tranche of Warrants with the right to purchase 10,000,000 common units with a strike price of $19.59 per common unit was outstanding and may be exercised by the holders at any time before April 2, 2028.

Loss Per Unit

The computation of loss per unit is based on the weighted average number of participating securities, which includes our common units and certain equity-based awards, outstanding during the applicable period. Basic loss per unit is determined by dividing net income (loss) allocated to participating securities after deducting the amount distributed on Preferred Units, by the weighted average number of participating securities outstanding during the period. Loss attributable to unitholders is allocated to participating securities based on their respective shares of the distributed and undistributed earnings for the period. To the extent cash distributions exceed net income (loss) attributable to unitholders for the period, the excess distributions are allocated to all participating securities outstanding based on their respective ownership percentages.

Diluted loss per unit is computed using the treasury stock method, which considers the potential issuance of limited partner units associated with our long-term incentive plan and Warrants. Unvested phantom units and unexercised Warrants are not included in basic loss per unit, as they are not considered to be participating securities, but are included in the calculation of diluted loss per unit to the extent they are dilutive, and in the case of Warrants to the extent they are considered “in the money.”

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 1,051,000 and 928,000 incremental unvested phantom units, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per unit because the impact was anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 157,000 and 85,000 incremental “in the money” outstanding Warrants, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per unit because the impact was anti-dilutive.

Table of Contents

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, approximately 803,000 and 757,000 incremental unvested phantom units, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per unit because the impact was anti-dilutive, and our then-outstanding Warrants were not included in the computation as they were not considered “in the money” for either period.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies

(a)Major Customers

We did not have revenue from any single customer representing 10% or more of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.

(b)Litigation

From time to time, we and our subsidiaries may be involved in various claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, the resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(c)Equipment Purchase Commitments

Our future capital commitments are comprised of binding commitments under purchase orders for new compression units ordered but not received. The commitments as of June 30, 2022 were $53.2 million, all of which is expected to be settled within the next twelve months and $24.2 million of which is expected to be settled in the remainder of 2022.

(d)Sales Tax Contingencies

Our compliance with state and local sales tax regulations is subject to audit by various taxing authorities. Certain taxing authorities have either claimed or issued an assessment that specific operational processes, which we and others in our industry regularly conduct, result in transactions that are subject to state sales taxes. We and others in our industry have disputed these claims and assessments based on either existing tax statutes or published guidance by the taxing authorities.

We are currently protesting certain assessments made by the Oklahoma Tax Commission (“OTC”). We believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur losses related to this assessment depending on whether the administrative law judge assigned by the OTC accepts our position that the transactions are not taxable and we ultimately lose any and all subsequent legal challenges to such determination. We estimate that the range of losses we could incur is from $0 to approximately $19.5 million, including penalty and interest.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have recorded a $44.9 million accrued liability and $44.9 million related party receivable from Energy Transfer related to open audits with the Office of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (the “Comptroller”), wherein the Comptroller has challenged the applicability of the manufacturing exemption.

(1)Fleet horsepower is horsepower for compression units that have been delivered to us (and excludes units on order). As of June 30, 2022, we had 65,000 large horsepower on order for delivery, all of which is expected to be delivered within the next twelve months and 30,000 horsepower of which is expected to be delivered in the remainder of 2022.

(2)Total available horsepower is revenue generating horsepower under contract for which we are billing a customer, horsepower in our fleet that is under contract but is not yet generating revenue, horsepower not yet in our fleet that is under contract but not yet generating revenue and that is subject to a purchase order, and idle horsepower. Total available horsepower excludes new horsepower on order for which we do not have an executed compression services contract.

(3)Revenue generating horsepower is horsepower under contract for which we are billing a customer.

(4)Calculated as the average of the month-end revenue generating horsepower for each of the months in the period.

(5)Calculated as the average of the result of dividing the contractual monthly rate, excluding standby or other temporary rates, for all units at the end of each month in the period by the sum of the revenue generating horsepower at the end of each month in the period.

(6)Calculated as the average of the month-end revenue generating horsepower per revenue generating compression unit for each of the months in the period.

(7)Horsepower utilization is calculated as (i) the sum of (a) revenue generating horsepower, (b) horsepower in our fleet that is under contract but is not yet generating revenue, and (c) horsepower not yet in our fleet that is under contract but not yet generating revenue and that is subject to a purchase order, divided by (ii) total available horsepower less idle horsepower that is under repair. Horsepower utilization based on revenue generating horsepower and fleet horsepower as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 82.5% and 79.0%, respectively.

(8)Calculated as the average utilization for the months in the period based on utilization at the end of each month in the period. Average horsepower utilization based on revenue generating horsepower and fleet horsepower for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 82.1% and 79.6%, respectively. Average horsepower utilization based on revenue generating horsepower and fleet horsepower for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 81.4% and 80.0%, respectively.

The 1.6% increase in total available horsepower as of June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021 was primarily due to compression units added to our fleet to meet incremental demand from customers for our compression services.

The 4.7% increase in revenue generating horsepower and 2.0% increase in revenue generating compression units as of June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021 were primarily driven by the redeployment of existing compression units due to increased demand for our services commensurate with increased operating activity in the oil and gas industry.

The 3.9% and 2.7% increases in average revenue per revenue generating horsepower per month during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, were primarily due to select price increases on our existing fleet.

The 1.5% and 0.5% increases in average horsepower per revenue generating compression unit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, were primarily due to the composition of existing compression units redeployed.

Horsepower utilization increased to 88.4% as of June 30, 2022 compared to 81.9% as of June 30, 2021. The increase in horsepower utilization was primarily due to an increase in revenue generating horsepower and an increase in horsepower that is under contract but not yet generating revenue, which was driven by a combination of the redeployment of certain previously idle units as well as new units added to the fleet. We believe the increase in horsepower utilization is the result of increased demand for our services commensurate with increased operating activity in the oil and gas industry. These factors also drove the change in average horsepower utilization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Contract operations revenue. The $12.2 million increase in contract operations revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to (i) select price increases on our existing fleet resulting in a 3.9% increase in average revenue per revenue generating horsepower per month, (ii) a 2.8% increase in average revenue generating horsepower as a result of increased demand for our services commensurate with increased operating activity in the oil and gas industry and (iii) an increase in our natural gas treating services.

Our contract operations revenue was not materially impacted by any renegotiations of our contracts during the period with our customers. Additionally, average revenue per revenue generating horsepower per month associated with our compression services provided on a month-to-month basis did not significantly differ from the average revenue per revenue generating horsepower per month associated with our compression services provided under contracts in their primary term during the period.

Parts and service revenue. The $1.8 million increase in parts and service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in maintenance work performed on units at our customers’ locations that are outside the scope of our core maintenance activities and offered as a convenience to our customers, and freight and crane charges that are directly reimbursable by customers. Demand for retail parts and services fluctuates from period to period based on the varying needs of our customers.

Related party revenue. Related party revenue was earned through related party transactions in the ordinary course of business with various affiliated entities of Energy Transfer. The $0.9 million increase in related party revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to revenue recognized from entities acquired by Energy Transfer since the previous period.

Cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. The $9.6 million increase in cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to (i) a $3.0 million increase in direct expenses, primarily driven by fluids and parts, (ii) a $2.7 million increase in non-income taxes, primarily due to sales tax refunds received in the prior period, (iii) a $1.2 million increase in retail parts and services expenses, which had a corresponding increase in parts and service revenue, (iv) a $0.9 million increase in expenses related to our vehicle fleet, primarily due to increased fuel costs, (v) a $0.9 million increase in direct labor costs due to higher employee costs and (vi) a $0.6 million increase in outside maintenance costs due to greater use and higher costs of third-party labor during the current period. The increases in fluids and fuel costs were primarily related to higher commodity prices and higher usage associated with our increased revenue generating horsepower.

Depreciation and amortization expense. The $0.3 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.

Selling, general and administrative expense. The $1.4 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in unit-based compensation expense driven by the overall change in our unit price as of June 30, 2022, and the related mark-to-market change to our unit-based compensation liability.

Loss (gain) on disposition of assets. The $2.1 million decrease in loss (gain) on disposition of assets for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the exercise of a lease purchase option on certain compression units by a customer during the prior period. The remaining change is primarily related to various disposals in the ordinary course of business.

Impairment of compression equipment. The $2.4 million impairment of compression equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily the result of our evaluations of the future deployment of our idle fleet under the current market conditions at the time. The primary causes for these impairments were: (i) units were not considered marketable in the foreseeable future, (ii) units were subject to excessive maintenance costs or (iii) units were unlikely to be accepted by customers due to certain performance characteristics of the unit, such as the inability to meet current quoting criteria without excessive retrofitting costs. These compression units were written down to their respective estimated salvage values, if any.

As a result of our evaluation during the three months ended June 30, 2021, we determined to retire 10 compressor units for a total of approximately 4,000 horsepower that were previously used to provide compression services in our business.

No impairment was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest expense, net. The $0.7 million increase in interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to higher weighted-average interest rates and increased borrowings under the Credit Agreement, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of debt issuance costs related to the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement since the prior period.

The weighted-average interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Credit Agreement was 3.59% and 3.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the average outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $566.8 million and $494.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. The $14.7 million increase in cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to (i) a $4.5 million increase in direct expenses, primarily driven by fluids and parts, (ii) a $2.9 million increase in outside maintenance costs due to greater use and higher costs of third-party labor during the current period, (iii) a $2.8 million increase in non-income taxes, primarily due to sales tax refunds received in the prior period, (iv) a $1.7 million increase in expenses related to our vehicle fleet, primarily due to increased fuel costs, (v) a $1.3 million increase in retail parts and services expenses, which had a corresponding increase in parts and service revenue, and (vi) a $0.8 million increase in direct labor costs due to higher employee costs. The increases in fluids and fuel costs were primarily related to higher commodity prices and higher usage associated with our increased revenue generating horsepower.

Depreciation and amortization expense. The $2.2 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.

Selling, general and administrative expense. The $0.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to (i) a $0.6 million increase in employee-related expenses, (ii) a $0.6 million decrease in the reversal of the provision for expected credit losses, (iii) a $0.4 million increase in professional fees, (iv) a $0.1 million increase in business and property insurance expenses and (v) a $0.1 million increase in other taxes, partially offset by (vi) a $1.7 million decrease in unit-based compensation expense.

The change to the provision for expected credit losses is related to a greater improvement in market conditions for customers due to the recovery in commodity prices in the prior period. The decrease in unit-based compensation expense is primarily due to the overall change in our unit price as of June 30, 2022, and the related mark-to-market change to our unit-based compensation liability.

Loss (gain) on disposition of assets. The $3.2 million decrease in loss (gain) on disposition of assets for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the exercise of a lease purchase option on certain compression units by a customer during the prior period. The remaining change is primarily related to various disposals in the ordinary course of business.

Impairment of compression equipment. The $0.4 million and $5.0 million impairments of compression equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were primarily the result of our evaluations of the future deployment of our idle fleet under the current market conditions at the time. The primary causes for these impairments were: (i) units were not considered marketable in the foreseeable future, (ii) units were subject to excessive maintenance costs or (iii) units were unlikely to be accepted by customers due to certain performance characteristics of the unit, such as the inability to meet current quoting criteria without excessive retrofitting costs. These compression units were written down to their respective estimated salvage values, if any.

As a result of our evaluations during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we determined to retire 10 and 22 compressor units, respectively, for a total of approximately 1,400 and 9,600 horsepower, respectively, that were previously used to provide compression services in our business.

Interest expense, net. The $0.3 million increase in interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to higher weighted-average interest rates and increased borrowings under the Credit Agreement, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of debt issuance costs related to the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement since the prior period.

The weighted-average interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Credit Agreement was 3.21% and 3.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the average outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $553.5 million and $488.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We operate in a capital-intensive industry, and our primary liquidity needs are to finance the purchase of additional compression units and make other capital expenditures, service our debt, fund working capital, and pay distributions. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by operating activities, borrowings under the Credit Agreement and issuances of debt and equity securities, including common units under the DRIP.

We typically utilize cash generated by operating activities and, where necessary, borrowings under the Credit Agreement to service our debt, fund working capital, fund our estimated expansion capital expenditures, fund our maintenance capital expenditures and pay distributions to our unitholders. Covenants in the Credit Agreement and other debt instruments require that we maintain certain leverage ratios, and if we predict that we may violate those covenants in the future we could: (i) delay discretionary capital spending and reduce operating expenses; (ii) request an amendment to the Credit Agreement; (iii) reduce or suspend distributions to our unitholders; or (iv) issue equity securities, including under the DRIP.

Because we distribute all of our available cash, which excludes prudent operating reserves, we expect to fund any future expansion capital expenditures or acquisitions primarily with capital from external financing sources, such as borrowings under the Credit Agreement and issuances of debt and equity securities, including under the DRIP.

Capital Expenditures

The compression services business is capital intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain, expand and upgrade existing operations. Our capital requirements have consisted primarily of, and we anticipate that our capital requirements will continue to consist primarily of, the following:

•maintenance capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures made to maintain the operating capacity of our assets and extend their useful lives, to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, or other capital expenditures that are incurred in maintaining our existing business and related operating income; and

•expansion capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures made to expand the operating capacity or operating income capacity of assets, including by acquisition of compression units or through modification of existing compression units to increase their capacity, or to replace certain partially or fully depreciated assets that were not currently generating operating income.

We classify capital expenditures as maintenance or expansion on an individual asset basis. Over the long term, we expect that our maintenance capital expenditure requirements will continue to increase as the overall size and age of our fleet increases. Our aggregate maintenance capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $12.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively. We currently plan to spend approximately $23.0 million in maintenance capital expenditures for the year 2022, including parts consumed from inventory.

Without giving effect to any equipment we may acquire pursuant to any future acquisitions, we currently plan to spend between $100.0 million and $110.0 million in expansion capital expenditures for the year 2022. Our expansion capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $52.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, we had binding commitments to purchase $53.2 million of additional compression units, all of which is expected to be settled within the next twelve months and $24.2 million of which is expected to be settled in the remainder of 2022.

The $9.8 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to changes in working capital, partially offset by a $3.6 million increase in net income, as adjusted for non-cash items.

Net cash used in investing activities. The $32.6 million increase in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to (i) a $28.4 million increase in capital expenditures, for purchases of new compression units, related equipment and reconfiguration costs, (ii) a $2.8 million decrease in proceeds from disposition of property and equipment and (iii) a $1.4 million decrease in proceeds received from insurance recovery.

Net cash used in financing activities. The $42.4 million decrease in net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in net borrowings of $42.7 million under the Credit Agreement.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of July 28, 2022, we had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement of $537.9 million.

For a more detailed description of the Credit Agreement, see Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this report and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in our 2021 Annual Report.

Senior Notes

As of June 30, 2022, we had $725.0 million and $750.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding on our Senior Notes 2026 and Senior Notes 2027, respectively.

The Senior Notes 2026 are due on April 1, 2026 and accrue interest at the rate of 6.875% per year. Interest on the Senior Notes 2026 is payable semi-annually in arrears on each of April 1 and October 1.

The Senior Notes 2027 are due on September 1, 2027 and accrue interest at the rate of 6.875% per year. Interest on the Senior Notes 2027 is payable semi-annually in arrears on each of March 1 and September 1.

For more detailed descriptions of the Senior Notes 2026 and Senior Notes 2027, see Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this report and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in our 2021 Annual Report.

DRIP

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, distributions of $1.0 million were reinvested under the DRIP resulting in the issuance of 61,700 common units. Such distributions are treated as non-cash transactions in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted gross margin as revenue less cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. We believe that Adjusted gross margin is useful as a supplemental measure to investors of our operating profitability. Adjusted gross 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. Adjusted gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, gross margin or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, Adjusted gross margin as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Because we capitalize assets, depreciation and amortization of equipment is a necessary element of our costs. To compensate for the limitations of Adjusted gross margin as a measure of our performance, we believe that it is important to consider gross margin determined under GAAP, as well as Adjusted gross margin, to evaluate our operating profitability.

Table of Contents

The following table reconciles Adjusted gross margin to gross margin, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods presented (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and income tax expense (benefit). We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus impairment of compression equipment, impairment of goodwill, interest income on capital lease, unit-based compensation expense (benefit), severance charges, certain transaction expenses, loss (gain) on disposition of assets and other. We view Adjusted EBITDA as one of management’s primary tools for evaluating our results of operations, and we track 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. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to assess:

•the financial performance of our assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of our assets;

•the viability of capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities;

•the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to make debt payments and to pay distributions; and

•our operating performance as compared to those of other companies in our industry without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, it may provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone. We also believe that external users of our financial statements benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating the results of our 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, our Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Because we use capital assets, depreciation, impairment of compression equipment, loss (gain) on disposition of assets and the interest cost of acquiring compression equipment are also necessary elements of our costs. Unit-based compensation expense related to equity awards to employees is also a necessary component of our business. Therefore, measures that exclude these elements have material limitations. To compensate for these limitations, we believe that it is important to consider both net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities determined under GAAP, as well as Adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our financial performance and our liquidity. Our Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, and these measures may vary among companies. Management compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating this knowledge into their decision making processes.

________________________________

(1)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, unit-based compensation expense included $1.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of cash payments related to quarterly payments of DERs on outstanding phantom unit awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, unit-based compensation expense included $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of cash payments related to quarterly payments of DERs on outstanding phantom unit awards and $0.2 million for each period related to the cash portion of any settlement of phantom unit awards upon vesting. The remainder of the unit-based compensation expense for all periods was related to non-cash adjustments to the unit-based compensation liability.

(2)Represents certain expenses related to potential and completed transactions and other items. We believe it is useful to investors to exclude these expenses.

(3)Represents non-cash charges incurred to write down long-lived assets with recorded values that are not expected to be recovered through future cash flows.

Distributable Cash Flow

We define DCF as net income (loss) plus non-cash interest expense, non-cash income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, unit-based compensation expense (benefit), impairment of compression equipment, impairment of goodwill, certain transaction expenses, severance charges, loss (gain) on disposition of assets, proceeds from insurance recovery and other, less distributions on Preferred Units and maintenance capital expenditures.

We believe DCF is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to compare basic cash flows we generate (after distributions on the Preferred Units but prior to any retained cash reserves established by the General Partner and the effect of the DRIP) to the cash distributions we expect to pay our common unitholders. Using DCF, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions.

DCF 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 presented in accordance with GAAP as measures

of operating performance and liquidity. Moreover, our DCF as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Because we use capital assets, depreciation, impairment of compression equipment, loss (gain) on disposition of assets, the interest cost of acquiring compression equipment and maintenance capital expenditures are necessary elements of our costs. Unit-based compensation expense related to equity awards to employees is also a necessary component of our business. Therefore, measures that exclude these elements have material limitations. To compensate for these limitations, we believe that it is important to consider both net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities determined under GAAP, as well as DCF, to evaluate our financial performance and our liquidity. Our DCF excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, and these measures may vary among companies. Management compensates for the limitations of DCF as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating this knowledge into their decision making processes.

Coverage Ratios

DCF Coverage Ratio is defined as DCF divided by distributions declared to common unitholders in respect of such period. Cash Coverage Ratio is defined as DCF divided by cash distributions expected to be paid to common unitholders in respect of such period, after taking into account the non-cash impact of the DRIP. We believe DCF Coverage Ratio and Cash Coverage Ratio are important measures of operating performance because they allow management, investors and others to gauge our ability to pay cash distributions to common unitholders using the cash flows that we generate. Our DCF Coverage Ratio and Cash Coverage Ratio as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table summarizes certain coverage ratios for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We do not take title to any natural gas or crude oil in connection with our services and, accordingly, have no direct exposure to fluctuating commodity prices. However, the demand for our compression services depends upon the continued demand for, and production of, natural gas and crude oil. Sustained low natural gas or crude oil prices over the long term could result in a decline in the production of natural gas or crude oil, which could result in reduced demand for our compression services. We do not intend to hedge our indirect exposure to fluctuating commodity prices. A one percent decrease in average revenue generating horsepower for the six months ended June 30, 2022 would result in an annual decrease of approximately $6.1 million and $4.2 million in our revenue and Adjusted gross margin, respectively. Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of Adjusted gross margin to gross margin, its most directly comparable financial measure, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please read Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Financial Measures” of this report.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk due to variable interest rates under the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2022, we had $558.7 million of variable-rate indebtedness outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 4.13%. A one percent increase or decrease in the effective interest rate on our variable-rate outstanding debt as of June 30, 2022 would result in an annual increase or decrease in our interest expense of approximately $5.6 million.

For further information regarding our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our debt obligations, see Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this report. Although we do not currently hedge our variable rate debt, we may, in the future, hedge all or a portion of such debt.

Credit Risk

Our credit exposure generally relates to receivables for services provided. If any significant customer of ours should have credit or financial problems resulting in a delay or failure to pay the amount it owes us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in various legal or governmental proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, the resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Security holders and potential investors in our securities should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2021 Annual Report and in subsequent filings we make with the SEC. We have identified these risk factors as important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.
