USA Compression Partners Reports Second-Quarter 2023 Results; Confirms 2023 Outlook; Achieves Record Revenues and Continues Leverage Reduction

USA Compression Partners, LP (NYSE: USAC) (“USA Compression” or the “Partnership”) announced today its financial and operating results for second-quarter 2023.

Second-Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Record total revenues of $206.9 million for second-quarter 2023, compared to $171.5 million for second-quarter 2022.
  • Net income was $23.6 million for second-quarter 2023, compared to $9.1 million for second-quarter 2022. Net income for second-quarter 2023 includes a $14.6 million gain on derivative instrument, partially offset by a $10.3 million non-cash impairment of compression equipment.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $87.9 million for second-quarter 2023, compared to $94.2 million for second-quarter 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $125.0 million for second-quarter 2023, compared to $105.4 million for second-quarter 2022.
  • Distributable Cash Flow was $67.0 million for second-quarter 2023, compared to $55.6 million for second-quarter 2022.
  • Distributable Cash Flow Coverage was 1.30x for second-quarter 2023, compared to 1.08x for second-quarter 2022.
  • Announced cash distribution of $0.525 per common unit for second-quarter 2023, consistent with second-quarter 2022.
  • Average horsepower utilization was 93.4% for second-quarter 2023, compared to 87.9% for second-quarter 2022.
  • Average revenue per revenue-generating horsepower per month was $18.65 for second-quarter 2023, compared to $17.20 for second-quarter 2022.

“Our outstanding second-quarter results were driven by continued strong market demand for our compression services, and our ability to crisply and efficiently deploy our best-in-class customer-service model. Our second-quarter results again featured consecutive-quarter record-setting revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow,” commented Eric D. Long, USA Compression’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“These record quarterly results were driven by continued sequential-quarter improvements to fleet utilization and per-horsepower average revenue. Our second-quarter utilization exit rate exceeded 93-percent for our fleet, which reached an all-time high of approximately 3.35 million of revenue-generating horsepower. These operational successes were complimented by record-setting and demand-driven quarterly per-horsepower average revenue of $18.65. We believe that our second-quarter performance is the direct result of the quality of service that we deliver to our customers and our returns-based capital-investment strategy. We expect our high-quality customer service and capital discipline to continue delivering financial results that enable further reductions to our leverage ratio, which declined to approximately 4.5x as of quarter end, and that support continued improvements to our distribution coverage, which came in at 1.30x for the second quarter.”

Expansion capital expenditures were $71.6 million, maintenance capital expenditures were $6.4 million, and cash interest expense, net was $40.2 million for second-quarter 2023.

On July 13, 2023, 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 4, 2023, to common unitholders of record as of the close of business on July 24, 2023.

____________________________________

(1)

Fleet horsepower is horsepower for compression units that have been delivered to the Partnership (and excludes units on order). As of June 30, 2023, the Partnership had 120,000 large horsepower on order for delivery, all of which is expected to be delivered within the next twelve months and 95,000 large horsepower of which is expected to be delivered by year-end 2023.

(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 90.1%, 87.5%, and 82.5% at June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023, and June 30, 2022, respectively.

 

Average horsepower utilization based on revenue-generating horsepower and fleet horsepower was 89.0%, 87.2%, and 82.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023, and June 30, 2022, 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, Distributable Cash Flow, and Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio 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 June 30, 2023, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants under its $1.6 billion revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2023, the Partnership had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $750.4 million, $849.6 million of availability and, subject to compliance with the applicable financial covenants, available borrowing capacity of $327.6 million. As of June 30, 2023, 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.

Full-Year 2023 Outlook

USA Compression is confirming its full-year 2023 guidance as follows:

  • Net income range of $75.0 million to $95.0 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 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 $490.0 million to $510.0 million; and
  • Distributable Cash Flow range of $260.0 million to $280.0 million.

Conference Call

The Partnership will host a conference call today beginning at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. Central Time) to discuss second-quarter 2023 performance. The call will be broadcast live over the internet. Investors may participate by audio webcast, or if located in the U.S. or Canada, by phone.

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 primarily is impacted 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, loss (gain) on derivative instrument, 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:

  • the financial performance of the Partnership’s assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure, or the 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 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 considering solely 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, change in fair value of derivative instrument, 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 2023 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 and net cash provided by operating activities, and net income and net cash provided by operating activities reconciled to Distributable Cash Flow and Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio.
