The transaction was unanimously approved by the board of directors of the General Partner. The Conflicts Committee of the board of directors of the General Partner, consisting solely of independent directors, provided special approval for the terms of the contribution of the Spartan entities and operations to the Partnership.

Management Commentary:

John Jackson, CEO of CSI and Spartan, commented, "We are excited about how these transactions position CSI for the future.  When Spartan acquired the General Partner and 23% of the outstanding common units in January 2021, we said our immediate focus would be on delivering quality service to our customers, generating liquidity, and improving our capital structure.  Our operations team has worked hard to provide exceptional service to our customers in an improving market while contending with supply chain and labor issues.  These transformational transactions are a significant step toward increasing liquidity, improving our capital structure, and positioning CSI for growth.  It represents a serious commitment by Spartan's ownership to support CSI and position it to participate in the anticipated commodity price upcycle without further complicating the balance sheet.  With the maturity of the 2022 Notes behind the Partnership, management can now fully turn its attention to execution, sound capital allocation decisions, and additional steps that will further strengthen the balance sheet."

"In addition to the financial benefits noted above, there are strategic benefits as well.  The acquisition of the Spartan entities is expected to increase CSI's EBITDA by approximately 20% on a pro forma basis resulting in a significant reduction of CSI's leverage ratio.  The Spartan ABL provides relatively inexpensive debt that will be used together with other sources of cash to fully redeem the 2022 Notes and help fund growth capital.  Strategically, Spartan's business is a good fit for CSI as we have a highly complementary customer and asset base.  We have already capitalized on some cross-selling opportunities benefitting both companies.  As we now are able to fully integrate CSI and Spartan into one platform, we expect this activity to accelerate."

Advisors:  Jefferies served as exclusive financial advisor to the Partnership on the Transactions and sole placement agent for the private placement common unit sale.  Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. served as legal advisor to the Partnership.  The Conflicts Committee engaged Evercore as its financial advisor and Shearman & Sterling LLP as its legal advisor.

Third Quarter 2021 Results:

  • Total revenues for the third quarter 2021 were $71.3 million, compared to $69.8 million in the second quarter 2021.
  • Compression and related services revenue increased sequentially to $56.4 million in the third quarter 2021 compared to $55.3 million in the second quarter 2021.
  • Net loss was $14.4 million compared to a net loss of $12.1 million in the second quarter 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $21.1 million compared to $23.1 million in the second quarter 2021. The third quarter of 2021 Adjusted EBITDA included a $1.0 million benefit from the sale of used equipment compared to a $0.1 million benefit in the second quarter 2021.
  • Distributable cash flow was $5.7 million compared to $6.5 million in the second quarter 2021.
  • Distribution coverage ratio was 11.8x in the third quarter 2021 compared to 13.3x in the second quarter 2021.
  • Third quarter of 2021 distribution of $0.01 per common unit will be paid on November 12, 2021.

Management Commentary:

John Jackson, CEO of CSI and Spartan, commented, "The third quarter continued a trend of increasing utilization and improving revenue. The overall demand appears to be strong and the outlook for 2022 remains very upbeat for our industry.  We are redeploying a sizeable amount of horsepower in a short amount of time.  This activity level, combined with labor and supply chain issues, has increased our make ready and start-up expenses well above our normal levels.  We expect these costs to revert to normal during the 1st quarter of 2022 as we begin to level out our deployment of idle units.  In addition, we incurred some one-time costs in the 3rd quarter associated with transitioning our employee benefit plans from a shared service model provided by TETRA to stand alone at CSI.  These costs are behind us after the 3rd quarter.  On a combined basis, the make ready and transition costs accounted for approximately $2 million of costs that either have been eliminated or will begin to decline in Q1 2022.  As a result, we remain very upbeat about 2022 as an industry and our ability to grow and participate in this upward market."

Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.9 million in the third quarter, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $9.7 million in the second quarter. Distributable cash flow in the third quarter was $5.7 million, resulting in a distribution coverage ratio of 11.8x.

This press release includes the following financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"): Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, distribution coverage ratio, free cash flow, and net leverage ratio. Please see Schedules B-E for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

As of September 30, 2021, total compressor fleet horsepower was 1,175,989 and fleet horsepower in service was 928,303 for an overall fleet utilization rate of 78.9% (we define the overall service fleet utilization rate as the service compressor fleet horsepower in service divided by the total compressor fleet horsepower). Idle horsepower equipment under repair is not considered utilized, but we do count units on standby as utilized when the client is being billed a standby service rate.

Balance Sheet

Cash on hand at the end of the third quarter was $23.5 million. No amounts were drawn nor outstanding on the Partnership's asset-based loan at the end of the third quarter. Our debt consists of $80.7 million of unsecured bonds due in August 2022, $400.0 million of first lien secured bonds due in 2025 and $159.9 million of second lien secured bonds due in 2026. Net leverage ratio at the end of the quarter was 6.8X.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Partnership includes in this release the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, distribution coverage ratio, free cash flow, and net leverage ratio. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by the Partnership's management to:

  • assess the Partnership's ability to generate available cash sufficient to make distributions to the Partnership's unitholders and general partner;
  • evaluate the financial performance of its assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
  • measure operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of our competitors; and
  • determine the Partnership's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.

The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and before certain charges, including impairments, bad debt expense attributable to bankruptcy of customers, equity compensation, non-cash costs of compressors sold, gain on extinguishment of debt, write-off of unamortized financing costs, and excluding, severance and other non-recurring or unusual expenses or charges.

Distributable cash flow is used as a supplemental financial measure by the Partnership's management, as it provides important information relating to the relationship between our financial operating performance and our cash distribution capability. Additionally, the Partnership uses distributable cash flow in setting forward expectations and in communications with the board of directors of our general partner. The Partnership defines distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less current income tax expense, maintenance capital expenditures, interest expense, and severance expense, plus non-cash interest expense.

The Partnership believes that the distribution coverage ratio provides important information relating to the relationship between the Partnership's financial operating performance and its cash distribution capability. The Partnership defines the distribution coverage ratio as the ratio of distributable cash flow to the total quarterly distribution payable, which includes, as applicable, distributions payable on all outstanding common units, the general partner interest and the general partner's incentive distribution rights.

The Partnership defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of sales proceeds. Management primarily uses this metric to assess our ability to retire debt, evaluate our capacity to further invest and grow, and measure our performance as compared to our peer group of companies.

The Partnership defines net leverage ratio as net debt (the sum of the carrying value of long-term and short-term debt on its consolidated balance sheet, less cash, excluding restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet and excluding outstanding letters of credit) divided by Adjusted EBITDA for calculating net leverage (Adjusted EBITDA as reported externally adjusted for certain items to comply with its credit agreement) for the trailing twelve-month period. Management primarily uses this metric to assess the Partnership's ability to borrow, reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay distributions, and fund investing and financing activities.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, free cash flow or other similarly titled measures of other entities, as other entities may not calculate these non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner as CSI. Management compensates for the limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable U.S. GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating this knowledge into management's decision-making process. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of cash that CSI has available for distributions or that the Partnership plans to distribute for a given period, nor should they be equated to available cash as defined in the Partnership's partnership agreement.
