(1) 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 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 83.9%, 86.5% and
86.7% for the quarters ended September 30, 2015, June 30, 2015 and
September 30, 2014, respectively. Average horsepower utilization was
85.3%, 84.9% and 87.5% for the quarters ended September 30, 2015, June
30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively.
(2) Calculated using average revenue generating horsepower.
Third Quarter 2015 Financial and Operating
Performance
Revenues in the third quarter of 2015 rose 23.7% to $70.5 million as
compared to $57.0 million for the third quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA
rose 34.6% to $39.5 million in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to
$29.3 million for the third quarter of 2014. Adjusted distributable cash
flow increased 40.6% to $32.3 million in the third quarter of 2015,
compared to $23.0 million in the third quarter of 2014. Net income was
$9.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared with net income of
$5.0 million for the third quarter of 2014.
“We are reporting a strong quarter of record revenues, Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted distributable cash flow for the third quarter of 2015,”
said Eric D. Long, USA Compression’s President and Chief Executive
Officer. “Despite the challenges and uncertainty across the entire
energy sector, our employees have performed exceptionally well,
delivering excellent customer service and controlling costs, both of
which have contributed to strong fleet utilization and strong operating
margins.
“We have ordered approximately 220,000 horsepower of new compression
units for delivery in 2015, of which we’ve taken delivery of
approximately 195,000 horsepower through the first three quarters of the
year,” he said. “As we’ve previously discussed, we front loaded our
capital spending this year, and as such, have completed over 90% of our
spending for the year. Looking ahead, we have already ordered over
30,000 horsepower for delivery in 2016 and will continue to monitor the
marketplace as we finish 2015 and move into next year.”
Average revenue generating horsepower increased 16.2% to 1,423,749 for
the third quarter of 2015 as compared to 1,224,938 for the third quarter
of 2014, primarily due to organic growth across our compression fleet.
Average revenue per revenue generating horsepower per month increased
1.7% to $15.94 for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to $15.67 for
the third quarter of 2014.
Gross operating margin increased 29.3% to $48.6 million for the third
quarter of 2015 as compared to $37.6 million for the third quarter of
2014. Gross operating margin as a percentage of total revenues increased
to 68.9% for the third quarter of 2015 from 65.9% in the third quarter
of 2014.
Expansion capital expenditures (used primarily to purchase new
compression units) were $55.3 million, maintenance capital expenditures
were $3.0 million and cash interest expense, net was $4.2 million for
the third quarter of 2015.
On October 22, 2015, the Partnership announced a cash distribution of
$0.525 per unit on its common and subordinated units. This third quarter
distribution corresponds to an annualized distribution rate of $2.10 per
unit. The distribution will be paid on November 13, 2015 to unitholders
of record as of the close of business on November 3, 2015.
USA Compression Holdings, LLC, the owner of 40% of the Partnership’s
outstanding limited partnership units, and Argonaut Private Equity,
L.L.C. and certain other related unitholders, the owners of 16% of the
Partnership’s outstanding limited partnership units, elected to reinvest
all of this distribution with respect to their units pursuant to the
Partnership’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP”). The Adjusted
distributable cash flow coverage ratio for the third quarter of 2015 was
1.25x and the Cash coverage ratio was 3.12x.
Liquidity and Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2015, the outstanding balance under the
Partnership’s revolving credit facility was approximately $712 million.
On September 15, 2015, the Partnership closed a public offering of
4,000,000 common units at a price to the public of $19.33. The
Partnership used the net proceeds of $74.4 million (net of underwriting
discounts and commission and offering expenses) to reduce the
indebtedness outstanding under its revolving credit facility.
Full-Year 2015 Outlook
USA Compression is revising upward the following full-year 2015 guidance:
-
Adjusted EBITDA range of $147 million to $152 million; and
-
Adjusted distributable cash flow range of $113 million to $118 million.

About USA Compression Partners, LP
USA Compression Partners, LP is a growth-oriented Delaware limited
partnership that is one of the nation’s largest independent providers of
compression services in terms of total compression fleet horsepower. The
Partnership partners with a broad customer base composed of producers,
processors, gatherers and transporters of natural gas and crude oil. The
Partnership focuses on providing compression services to infrastructure
applications primarily in high-volume gathering systems, processing
facilities and transportation applications. More information is
available at www.usacpartners.com.
This news release includes the non-U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, gross
operating margin, distributable cash flow, Adjusted distributable cash
flow, adjusted distributable cash flow coverage ratio and cash coverage
ratio.
The Partnership’s management views Adjusted EBITDA as one of its primary
financial measures in evaluating the results of the Partnership’s
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. The Partnership
defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense,
depreciation and amortization expense, and income taxes and Adjusted
EBITDA as EBITDA plus impairment of compression equipment, interest
income, unit-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale of assets
and transaction expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental
financial measure by the Partnership’s 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 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.
The Partnership’s 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.
The Partnership’s 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
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
revenue less cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and
amortization expense. The Partnership’s management believes that gross
operating margin is useful as a supplemental measure of the
Partnership’s performance. 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 Partnership’s performance, the Partnership’s 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.
Distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income
(loss) plus non-cash interest expense, non-cash income tax 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 expenses and (gain) loss on sale of
equipment. The Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s general
partner and the effect of the DRIP) to the cash distributions the
Partnership expects to pay its unitholders.
Adjusted distributable cash flow coverage ratio, a non-GAAP measure, is
defined as Adjusted distributable cash flow less cash distributions to
the Partnership’s general partner and incentive distribution rights
(“IDRs”), divided by distributions declared to limited partner
unitholders for the period. Cash coverage ratio is defined as Adjusted
distributable cash flow less cash distributions to the Partnership’s
general partner and IDRs divided by cash distributions paid to limited
partner unitholders, after consideration of the DRIP. The Partnership’s
management believes adjusted 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 limited partner
unitholders using the cash flows the Partnership generates. The
Partnership’s adjusted distributable 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 Adjusted distributable cash flow projected to be generated by
the Partnership in its 2015 fiscal year. A reconciliation of the
forward-looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted 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, 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 (loss) and net cash provided by operating
activities, and net income (loss) reconciled to distributable cash flow,
Adjusted distributable cash flow, Adjusted distributable cash flow
coverage ratio and Cash coverage ratio.
