USA Compression Partners, LP Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results; Updates 2019 Outlook

AUSTIN, Texas, August 6, 2019 —USA Compression Partners, LP (NYSE: USAC) (“USA Compression” or the “Partnership”) announced today its financial and operating results for the second quarter 2019.

Second Quarter 2019 Highlights

Total revenues were $173.7 million for the second quarter 2019, compared to $166.9 million for the second quarter 2018.

Net income was $9.9 million for the second quarter 2019, compared to $3.2 million for the second quarter 2018.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $99.8 million for the second quarter 2019, compared to $75.5 million for the second quarter 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA was $104.7 million for the second quarter 2019, compared to $95.4 million for the second quarter 2018.

Distributable Cash Flow was $54.1 million for the second quarter 2019, compared to $51.4 million for the second quarter 2018.

Announced cash distribution of $0.525 per common unit for the second quarter 2019, consistent with the second quarter 2018.

Distributable Cash Flow Coverage was 1.14x for the second quarter 2019, compared to 1.09x for the second quarter 2018.

Cash Coverage was 1.15x for the second quarter 2019, compared to 1.09x for the second quarter 2018.

“The second quarter was another solid quarter for USA Compression, from both an operational and financial standpoint. The stability of our contract compression services business model is reflected in our results and demonstrates the demand driven nature of our business, rather than dependency on cyclical commodity prices,” commented Eric D. Long, USA Compression’s President & Chief Executive Officer. “Utilization remained at very high levels and pricing increased, reflecting the continued strong market for compression services and the infrastructure-based nature of our applications. Further, our efforts to optimize pricing across our entire fleet of large horsepower compression continue, and we saw the impact of those efforts during the quarter.”

He continued, “Our high-quality customer base continues to develop the midstream infrastructure needed in this country to get crude oil and natural gas to the end user. During the quarter, we saw continued demand for our services as a critical part of this build-out. While the broader industry is evolving with ever-changing global market dynamics, the primary driver of our business remains constant: the domestic production of natural gas driven by increasing demand and export volumes. Our capital spending for the year remains on track, with the remainder of 2019 expected to see deliveries of approximately 47,000 horsepower. With an eye to 2020 capital expenditures, we have taken a prudent approach, having placed orders for approximately 48,000 large horsepower for delivery in the first half of next year. As our customers further define their development plans over the next few quarters, we will look to ensure that we have the right equipment to serve their needs without issuing additional equity. We continue to work to reduce leverage and build coverage as we safely optimize our day to day operations.”

Expansion capital expenditures were $51.0 million, maintenance capital expenditures were $7.9 million and cash interest expense, net was $30.7 million for the second quarter 2019.

On July 18, 2019, 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 9, 2019 to common unitholders of record as of the close of business on July 29, 2019. For the second quarter of 2019, the Partnership’s Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio was 1.14x and Cash Coverage Ratio was 1.15x.

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, 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 June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was 89.1%, 91.0% and 88.7%, respectively.

Average horsepower utilization based on revenue generating horsepower and fleet horsepower was 89.9%, 90.8% and 88.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

(2)

Calculated as the average of the result of dividing the contractual monthly rate 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.

(3)

Gross operating 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.

Liquidity and Long-Term Debt

As of June 30, 2019, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants under its $1.6 billion revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2019, the Partnership had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $363.4 million, $1.2 billion of borrowing base availability and, subject to compliance with the applicable financial covenants, available borrowing capacity of $438.9 million. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 6.875% senior notes due 2026 and 6.875% senior notes due 2027 was $725 million and $750 million, respectively.

Full-Year 2019 Outlook

USA Compression is updating its full-year 2019 guidance as follows:

Net income range of $19.0 million to $39.0 million;

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

Adjusted EBITDA range of $390.0 million to $410.0 million; and

Distributable Cash Flow range of $190.0 million to $210.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

the financial performance of the Partnership’s assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of the Partnership’s assets;

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

the ability of the Partnership’s assets to generate cash sufficient to make debt payments and pay distributions; and

the Partnership’s operating performance as compared to those of other companies in its industry without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure.

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

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

Gross operating margin is defined as revenue less cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. Management believes that gross operating margin is useful as a supplemental measure of the Partnership’s operating profitability. Gross operating margin is impacted primarily by the pricing trends for service operations and cost of operations, including labor rates for service

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

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

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

Management believes Distributable Cash Flow is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to compare basic cash flows 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 (“DRIP”)) to the cash distributions the Partnership expects to pay its common unitholders.

Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio is defined as Distributable Cash Flow divided by distributions declared to common unitholders in respect of such period. Cash Coverage Ratio is defined as Distributable Cash Flow 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. Management believes Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio and Cash Coverage Ratio are important measures of operating performance because they allow management, investors and others to gauge the Partnership’s ability to pay cash distributions to common unitholders using the cash flows the Partnership generates. The Partnership’s Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio and Cash Coverage Ratio as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

This news release also contains a forward-looking estimate of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow projected to be generated by the Partnership in its 2019 fiscal year. A forward-looking estimate of net cash provided by operating activities and reconciliations of the forward-looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities are not provided because the items necessary to estimate net cash provided by operating activities, in particular the change in operating assets and liabilities, are not accessible or estimable at this time. The Partnership does not anticipate the changes in operating assets and liabilities to be material, but changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue could be significant, such that the amount of net cash provided by operating activities would vary substantially from the amount of projected Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow.

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