AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--USA Compression Partners, LP (NYSE: USAC) (“USA Compression” or the “Partnership”) announced today its financial and operating results for the second quarter 2022.
Second Quarter 2022 Highlights
- Total revenues were $171.5 million for the second quarter 2022, compared to $156.6 million for the second quarter 2021.
- Net income was $9.1 million for the second quarter 2022, compared to $2.7 million for the second quarter 2021.
- Net cash provided by operating activities was $94.2 million for the second quarter 2022, compared to $99.5 million for the second quarter 2021.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $105.4 million for the second quarter 2022, compared to $100.0 million for the second quarter 2021.
- Distributable Cash Flow was $55.6 million for the second quarter 2022, compared to $52.5 million for the second quarter 2021.
- Announced cash distribution of $0.525 per common unit for the second quarter 2022, consistent with the second quarter 2021.
- Distributable Cash Flow Coverage was 1.08x for the second quarter 2022, compared to 1.03x for the second quarter 2021.
“The second quarter reflected a considerably-improved business environment for USA Compression, as demand for our compression services continued to increase, leading to higher revenues, increased active horsepower and strong Adjusted EBITDA generation,” commented Eric D. Long, USA Compression’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The strong energy market helped propel end-of quarter active horsepower utilization to 88.4%, up from 86.1% at the end of the prior quarter. Combined with an increase in the average price per horsepower per month to $17.20 from $16.87, total revenues grew 5% during the second quarter. The quarter’s performance also led to improvement of both our leverage ratio as well as our Distributable Cash Flow coverage ratio.”
“Continued geopolitical tensions combined with strong global demand for both crude oil and natural gas supported an attractive commodity pricing environment during the quarter, with crude oil and natural gas averaging over $108/barrel and approximately $7.50/MMBtu, respectively, during the quarter. With extremely tight supply/demand balances throughout the world, we see the positive environment for energy continuing throughout the remainder of 2022.”
“We spent approximately $32 million on expansion capital, including the delivery of four new large horsepower units for a customer installation in the Delaware Basin. The remainder of the capital was primarily spent to reconfigure and make-ready idle units, as we continue to redeploy existing assets into the field, as well as to purchase components to be installed in compression stations scheduled to come online later this year.”
“Additionally, we have continued to look for areas to use our expertise in compression services as the broader industry works to transition to a cleaner energy future. As announced yesterday, we have started up a series of Dual Drive units, which were cost effectively retrofit from existing idle fleet assets. The Dual Drive service offering deploys electric compression that significantly reduces emissions in conjunction with a conventional natural gas-powered engine as backup, providing redundancy while maintaining reliability and improving our customer’s overall carbon and methane footprints. We have recently provided large horsepower compression services for a hydrogen project and are designing compression facilities for a current, large customer as part of a major carbon capture, utilization and storage project. These efforts underpin our strong belief that natural gas compression is a critical part of the energy value chain, both as part of traditional oil and gas activities but also as the world transitions to a future of new technologies.”
Expansion capital expenditures were $32.2 million, maintenance capital expenditures were $6.1 million and cash interest expense, net was $31.3 million for the second quarter 2022.
On July 14, 2022, 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 5, 2022 to common unitholders of record as of the close of business on July 25, 2022.
On April 27, 2022, a tranche of warrants with the right to purchase 5,000,000 common units was exercised in full by the holders. The exercise of the warrants was net settled by the Partnership for a total of approximately 534,000 common units. These warrants were part of the preferred equity financing undertaken in 2018 for the CDM Acquisition.

(1) |
Fleet horsepower is horsepower for compression units that have been delivered to the Partnership (and excludes units on order). As of June 30, 2022, the Partnership had 65,000 large horsepower on order for delivery, all of which is expected to be delivered within the next twelve months and 30,000 horsepower of which is expected to be delivered in the remainder of 2022. |
(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 82.5%, 81.0% and 79.0% at June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. |
|
Average horsepower utilization based on revenue generating horsepower and fleet horsepower was 82.1%, 80.7% and 79.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 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 June 30, 2022, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants under its $1.6 billion revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2022, the Partnership had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $558.7 million, $1.0 billion of borrowing base availability and, subject to compliance with the applicable financial covenants, available borrowing capacity of $360.9 million. As of June 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.
Full-Year 2022 Outlook
USA Compression is confirming its full-year 2022 guidance as follows:
- Net income range of $33.0 million to $53.0 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 $406.0 million to $426.0 million; and
- Distributable Cash Flow range of $213.0 million to $233.0 million.

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 that Adjusted gross margin is useful as a supplemental measure to investors 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, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, 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 costs. To compensate for the limitations of Adjusted gross margin as a measure of the Partnership’s performance, management believes that it is 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 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 (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 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 (loss), 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.
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 as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), operating income (loss), 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, 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 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) 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. Management believes Distributable Cash Flow Coverage Ratio is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to gauge the Partnership’s ability to pay distributions to common unitholders using 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 in 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 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 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.
