AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 1, 2022--
USA Compression Partners, LP (NYSE: USAC) (“USA Compression” or the “Partnership”) announced today its financial and operating results for third-quarter 2022.
Third-Quarter 2022 Highlights
“Our third-quarter results were consistent with the continued strengthening in energy markets, as demand for our compression services continued to grow, leading to sequential-quarter increases in revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and revenue generating horsepower, along with continued improvements to contract pricing,” commented Eric D. Long, USA Compression’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our strong third-quarter results were underpinned by continued improvements to our fleet utilization, which surpassed a 90-percent exit rate for the third quarter, and by further strengthening to our quarter-over-quarter average price per horsepower per month. Our third-quarter performance also led to continued improvement to our leverage ratio while essentially maintaining the previous quarter’s distribution coverage.”
“A positive energy macroenvironment continues to drive increased demand for natural gas and our compression services with our largest asset-operating basins registering year-over-year production increases. Our customers remain active across our operating regions, and we have and plan to continue keeping pace with their activity levels through the expansion of our compression and station services.”
“We anticipate achieving improved market share in key production basins through our recent commitment to purchase an additional 50 large horsepower compression units that was made in September of this year. These planned purchases were driven by pronounced demand from our major customers for additional compression and station services, and will bring our committed new unit order for 2023 to 66 units, for a total of 165,000 of additional horsepower. We have locked in unit delivery slots for these new units, and we expect to have these units under multi-year contracts with our customers for deployment by year-end 2023.”
“Finally, we believe continuing to deliver high-quality service to customers under contracts with lengthening contract tenors, while maintaining capital discipline, should improve USA Compression’s financial flexibility over time. Enhanced financial flexibility will allow us to deploy cash flows opportunistically to fund additional accretive capital investments, reduce debt, consider changes to distribution policy, or a combination thereof.”
Expansion capital expenditures were $46.7 million, maintenance capital expenditures were $8.1 million, and cash interest expense, net was $33.3 million for third-quarter 2022.
On October 13, 2022, the Partnership announced a third-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 November 4, 2022, to common unitholders of record as of the close of business on October 24, 2022.

| (1) | Fleet horsepower is horsepower for compression units that have been delivered to the Partnership (and excludes units on order). As of September 30, 2022, the Partnership had 175,000 large horsepower on order for delivery, 75,000 of which is expected to be delivered within the next twelve months and 100,000 horsepower thereafter. |
| (2) | Revenue generating horsepower is horsepower under contract for which the Partnership is billing a customer. |
| (3) | Calculated as the average of the month-end revenue generating horsepower for each of the months in the period. |
| (4) | Horsepower utilization is calculated as (i) the sum of (a) revenue generating horsepower; (b) horsepower in the Partnership’s fleet that is under contract but is not yet generating revenue; and (c) horsepower not yet in the Partnership’s 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 was 84.3%, 82.5%, and 79.2% at September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively. | |
Average horsepower utilization based on revenue generating horsepower and fleet horsepower was 83.4%, 82.1%, and 79.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively. | |
| (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) | Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow are all non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP”) financial measures. For the definition of each measure, as well as reconciliations of each measure to its most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. |
| (7) | Adjusted gross margin percentage and Adjusted EBITDA percentage are calculated as a percentage of revenue. |
Liquidity and Long-Term Debt
As of September 30, 2022, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants under its $1.6 billion revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2022, the Partnership had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $618.4 million, $981.6 million of availability and, subject to compliance with the applicable financial covenants, available borrowing capacity of $286.6 million. As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 6.875% senior notes due 2026 and 6.875% senior notes due 2027 was $725.0 million and $750.0 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release includes the Non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio.
Adjusted gross margin is defined as revenue less cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. Management believes Adjusted gross margin is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of the Partnership’s 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 presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the Partnership’s Adjusted gross 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 cost structure. To compensate for the limitations of Adjusted gross margin as a measure of the Partnership’s performance, management believes it important to consider gross margin determined under GAAP, as well as Adjusted gross margin, to evaluate the Partnership’s operating profitability.
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 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 (benefit). The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus impairment of compression equipment, impairment of goodwill, interest income on capital leases, unit-based compensation expense (benefit), severance charges, certain transaction expenses, loss (gain) on disposition of assets, and other. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of the Partnership’s financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to assess:
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because, when viewed in conjunction with the Partnership’s GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, it may provide a more complete assessment of the Partnership’s performance as compared to solely considering GAAP results. Management also believes that external users of the Partnership’s financial statements benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses to evaluate 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 presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Distributable Cash Flow is defined 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 the Partnership’s Series A Preferred Units (“Preferred Units”) and maintenance capital expenditures.
Distributable Cash Flow 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 presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the Partnership’s 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 it allows management, investors and others to compare the cash flows that the Partnership generates (after distributions on the Partnership’s Preferred Units but prior to any retained cash reserves established by the Partnership’s general partner and the effect of the Distribution Reinvestment Plan) to the cash distributions that the Partnership expects to pay its common unitholders.
Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio is defined as the period’s Distributable Cash Flow divided by distributions declared to common unitholders in respect of such period. Management believes Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio is an important measure of operating performance because it permits management, investors, and others to assess the Partnership’s ability to pay distributions to common unitholders out of the cash flows the Partnership generates. The Partnership’s Distributable Cash Flow 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 for its 2022 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 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 gross margin reconciled to gross margin, 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 and Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio.
