USA Compression Partners Reports Fourth-Quarter 2024 Results and Provides 2025 Outlook; Achieves Record Results
DALLAS, Texas, February 11, 2025 — USA Compression Partners, LP (NYSE: USAC) (“USA Compression” or the “Partnership”) announced today its financial and operating results for fourth-quarter 2024.
Financial Highlights
•Record total revenues of $245.9 million for fourth-quarter 2024, compared to $225.0 million for fourth-quarter 2023.
•Net income was $25.4 million for fourth-quarter 2024, compared to $12.8 million for fourth-quarter 2023.
•Record net cash provided by operating activities was $130.2 million for fourth-quarter 2024, compared to $91.6 million for fourth-quarter 2023.
•Adjusted EBITDA of $155.5 million for fourth-quarter 2024, compared to $138.6 million for fourth-quarter 2023.
•Distributable Cash Flow of $96.3 million for fourth-quarter 2024, compared to $79.9 million for fourth-quarter 2023.
•Distributable Cash Flow Coverage was 1.56x for fourth-quarter 2024, compared to 1.48x for fourth-quarter 2023.
•Paid cash distribution of $0.525 per common unit for fourth-quarter 2024, consistent with fourth-quarter 2023.
Operational Highlights
•Record average revenue-generating horsepower of 3.56 million for fourth-quarter 2024, compared to 3.41 million for fourth-quarter 2023.
•Record average revenue per revenue-generating horsepower per month of $20.85 for fourth-quarter 2024, compared to $19.52 for fourth-quarter 2023.
•Average horsepower utilization was 94.5% for fourth-quarter 2024, compared to 94.1% for fourth-quarter 2023.
“Our fourth-quarter financial results included another consecutive quarter of record-setting revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as record-setting Distributable Cash Flow and Distributable Cash Flow Coverage. These financial results were driven by improved operational efficiencies as we again achieved record average revenue per-horsepower of $20.85 and record revenue-generating horsepower of 3.56 million, which continues to reflect the tight contract compression service space,” commented Clint Green, USA Compression’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
“We believe the macro backdrop continues to be favorable in the near- and medium-term. We expect the price of oil to remain constructive and continue to drive growth in associated gas volumes, particularly in the Permian. We believe our assets in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana will benefit from anticipated growth in natural gas volumes necessary to support increased LNG and pipeline exports along the Gulf Coast, as well as the electrification of everything, driven by AI and data center demand.”
“Looking forward to 2025, we anticipate an expansion capital range of $120 million to $140 million with a refocus on contracted new horsepower unit additions that will be largely back-end loaded for the year. Additionally, we expect the Energy Transfer shared services model to begin taking effect at the outset of 2025 and anticipate a reduction in back-office costs as well as enhance management of the business from an operations perspective throughout 2025 and 2026.”
Expansion capital expenditures were $37.6 million, maintenance capital expenditures were $8.2 million, and cash interest expense, net was $46.4 million for fourth-quarter 2024.
On January 16, 2025, the Partnership announced a fourth-quarter cash distribution of $0.525 per common unit, which corresponds to an annualized distribution rate of $2.10 per common unit. The distribution was paid on February 7, 2025, to common unitholders of record as of the close of business on January 27, 2025.

(1)Fleet horsepower is horsepower for compression units that have been delivered to the Partnership and excludes 20,310 and 21,690 of non-marketable horsepower as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Partnership had no horsepower on order. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Partnership ordered 10,000 large horsepower for expected delivery during 2025.
(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 expected to be delivered, divided by (ii) total available horsepower less idle horsepower that is under repair.
Horsepower utilization based on revenue-generating horsepower and fleet horsepower was 92.4%, 92.4%, and 90.9% at December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Average horsepower utilization based on revenue-generating horsepower and fleet horsepower was 92.2%, 92.3%, and 90.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Average horsepower utilization based on revenue-generating horsepower and fleet horsepower was 91.7% and 89.2% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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.

____________________________________
(1)The Partnership is unable to reconcile projected Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to projected net income (loss) and projected net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP because components of the required calculations cannot be reasonably estimated, such as changes to current assets and liabilities, unknown future events, and estimating certain future GAAP measures. The inability to project certain components of the calculation would significantly affect the accuracy of the reconciliations.
(2)Includes approximately $21 million of other business support capital that includes vehicles, tools, and IT infrastructure.

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. Management uses adjusted gross margin to assess operating performance as compared to historical results, budget and forecast amounts, expected return on capital investment, and our competitors. 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
3

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 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 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 assets, 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 on extinguishment of debt, 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 assets, impairment of goodwill, certain transaction expenses, severance charges, loss (gain) on disposition of assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, change in fair value of derivative instrument, proceeds from insurance recovery, and other, less distributions on 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 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 2025 fiscal year. The Partnership is unable to reconcile projected Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to projected net income (loss) and projected net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP because components of the required calculations cannot be reasonably estimated, such as changes to current assets and liabilities, unknown future events, and estimating certain future GAAP measures. The inability to project certain components of the calculation would significantly affect the accuracy of the reconciliations.
