(1) Horsepower utilization is calculated as (i)(a) revenue generating horsepower plus (b) horsepower in the Partnerships fleet that is under contract, but is not yet generating revenue plus (c) horsepower not yet in the Partnerships fleet that is under contract 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 at each applicable period end was 87.2%, 86.7% and 89.0% for the quarters ended December 31, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Average horsepower utilization was 87.0%, 87.5% and 89.0% for the quarters ended December 31, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and 87.3% for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
(2) Calculated using average revenue generating horsepower.
Fourth Quarter 2014 Financial and Operating Performance
Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2014 rose 25.4% to $61.0 million as compared to $48.6 million for the same period in 2013. This was primarily the result of a 26.7% increase in contract operations revenues (excluding retail parts and services) to $60.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $47.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. This increase was driven primarily by organic growth in revenue generating horsepower. Adjusted EBITDA rose 29.9% to $33.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $25.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Adjusted distributable cash flow increased 38.7% to $26.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $18.9 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Net income was $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with net income of $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.
We are reporting another quarter of record revenues, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted distributable cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2014, said Eric D. Long, USA Compressions President and Chief Executive Officer. As a result of our solid performance, we announced our seventh consecutive quarterly distribution increase since our IPO, to $0.51 for the fourth quarter of 2014.
We have, at this time, ordered approximately 230,000 horsepower of new compression units for delivery in 2015, which primarily will be delivered over the first three quarters of 2015, he said. In addition to the stability of our current operations, the Partnership is experiencing solid demand for new compression units to be delivered throughout 2015.
Average revenue generating horsepower increased 25.2% to 1,324,983 for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to 1,058,213 for the fourth quarter of 2013, primarily due to organic growth across our compression fleet. Average revenue per revenue generating horsepower per month increased 3.0% to $15.82 for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $15.36 for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Gross operating margin increased 27.5% to $42.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $33.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Gross operating margin as a percentage of total revenues increased to 69.0% for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 67.9% in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Expansion capital expenditures (used primarily to purchase new compression units) were $109.3 million, maintenance capital expenditures totaled $3.4 million and cash interest expense, net was $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2014.
On January 22, 2015, the Partnership announced a cash distribution of $0.51 per unit on its common and subordinated units. This fourth quarter distribution corresponds to an annualized distribution rate of $2.04 per unit. The distribution was paid on February 13, 2015 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on February 3, 2015. USA Compression Holdings, LLC, the owner of 42.0% of the Partnerships outstanding limited partnership units, and Argonaut Private Equity, L.L.C. and certain other related unitholders, the owners of 16.3% of the Partnerships outstanding limited partnership units, elected to reinvest all of this distribution with respect to their units pursuant to the Partnerships Distribution Reinvestment Plan. Adjusted distributable cash flow coverage for the fourth quarter of 2014 was 1.11x and the cash coverage ratio was 2.70x.
Liquidity and Credit Facility
On January 6, 2015, the Partnership closed the Second Amendment to its Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the revolving credit facility). The amendment provided for an increase in the facility capacity from $850 million to $1.1 billion and an extension of the maturity to 2020. The revolving credit facility contains an accordion feature whereby it can be expanded to $1.3 billion under certain conditions. In addition, the amendment also provided additional flexibility under the financial covenants. As of December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility was approximately $595 million, compared to approximately $510 million as of September 30, 2014.
Full-Year 2015 Outlook
USA Compression is providing the following full-year 2015 guidance:
· Adjusted EBITDA range of $130.0 million to $140.0 million;
· distributable cash flow range of $91.3 million to $102.3 million; and
· expansion capital expenditures range of $250 million to $270 million.

This news release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, gross operating margin, distributable cash flow and adjusted distributable cash flow.
The Partnerships management views Adjusted EBITDA as one of its primary financial measures in evaluating the results of the Partnerships business, 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 and prior year, and to budget. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus impairment of compression equipment, interest income, unit-based compensation expense, loss (gain) on sale of assets and transaction expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by the Partnerships management and external users of its financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to assess:
· the financial performance of the Partnerships assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of the Partnerships assets;
· the viability of capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities;
· the ability of the Partnerships assets to generate cash sufficient to make debt payments and to make distributions; and
· the Partnerships operating performance as compared to those of other companies in its industry without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure.
The Partnership 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 Partnerships performance than GAAP results alone. The Partnership 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 Partnerships business.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, operating income, 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, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Gross operating margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as revenues less cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. The Partnerships management believes that gross operating margin is useful as a supplemental measure of the Partnerships 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 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 Partnerships performance, the Partnerships management believes that it is important to consider operating income determined under GAAP, as well as gross operating margin, to evaluate the Partnerships operating profitability.
Distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income plus non-cash interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, unit-based compensation expense and impairment of compression equipment, less maintenance capital expenditures. Adjusted distributable cash flow is distributable cash flow plus certain transaction fees and loss (gain) on sale of equipment. The Partnerships management believes distributable cash flow and adjusted distributable cash flow are important measures of operating performance because such measures allow management, investors and others to compare basic cash flows the Partnership generates (prior to the establishment of any retained cash reserves by the Partnerships general partner and the effect of the Partnerships Distribution Reinvestment Plan) to the cash distributions the Partnership expects to pay its unitholders.
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 2015 fiscal year. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow to 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 amounts, 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.
See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for Adjusted EBITDA reconciled to net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and net income reconciled to distributable cash flow and adjusted distributable cash flow.

(1) For the quarters ended December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, unit-based compensation expense included $0.2 million of cash payments related to quarterly payments of distribution equivalent rights on outstanding phantom unit awards. For the year ended December 31, 2014, unit-based compensation expense included $0.5 million of cash payments related to quarterly payments of distribution equivalent rights on outstanding phantom unit awards and $0.3 million related to the cash portion of any settlement of phantom unit awards upon vesting. The remainder of the unit-based compensation expense for 2014 is related to non-cash adjustments to the unit-based compensation liability, and for 2013 to the non-cash amortization of unit-based compensation in equity.
(2) Represents management fees paid to Riverstone for services performed during 2013 prior to the Partnerships initial public offering. As these fees were not paid by the Partnership as a public company, the Partnership believes it is useful to investors to view its results excluding these fees.
(3) Represents certain transaction expenses related to acquisitions, potential acquisitions and other items. The Partnership believes it is useful to investors to view its results excluding these fees.
