Compressco Partners, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
We are a provider of compression-based production enhancement services, which are used in both conventional wellhead compression applications and unconventional compression applications and, in certain circumstances, well monitoring and sand separation services. We provide our services to a broad base of natural gas and oil exploration and production companies operating throughout many of the onshore producing regions of the United States. Internationally, we have significant operations in Mexico and Canada and a growing presence in certain countries in South America, Eastern Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
 
Presentation
 
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of our management, our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, include all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of our results for the interim periods. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the SEC and do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in connection with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 11, 2013.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material.
 
Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid cash investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
Financial Instruments
 
The fair values of our financial instruments, which may include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt pursuant to our bank credit agreement, approximate their carrying amounts.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories consist primarily of compressor unit components and parts and are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method.
 
Net Income Per Common and Subordinated Unit
 
The computations of net income per common and subordinated unit are based on the weighted average number of common and subordinated units, respectively, outstanding during the applicable period. Our subordinated units meet the definition of a participating security, and, therefore, we are required to use the two-class method in the computation of net income per unit. Basic net income per common and subordinated unit is

6



determined by dividing net income allocated to the common units and subordinated units, respectively, after deducting the amount allocated to our General Partner (including any distributions to our General Partner on its
incentive distribution rights) by the weighted average number of outstanding common and subordinated units, respectively, during the period.
 
We determine cash distributions based on available cash and determine the actual incentive distributions allocable to our General Partner, if any, based on actual distributions. When computing net income per common and subordinated unit under the two-class method, the amount of the actual incentive distribution rights, if any, is deducted from net income and allocated to our General Partner for the period to which the calculation relates. The remaining amount of net income, after deducting the incentive distribution rights, is allocated among our General Partner, common, and subordinated units based on how our partnership agreement allocates net income.
 
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common and subordinated units outstanding to the number of common and subordinated units used in the computations of net income per common and subordinated unit.

Environmental Liabilities
 
Costs to remediate and monitor environmental matters are accrued when such liabilities are considered probable and a reasonable estimate of such costs is determinable.
 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
 
Certain of our international operations maintain their accounting records in the local currencies that are their functional currencies. For these operations, the functional currency financial statements are converted to United States dollar equivalents, with the effect of the foreign currency translation adjustment reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income is included in partners’ capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consists of the cumulative currency translation adjustments associated with such international operations. Activity within accumulated other comprehensive income during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, is as follows:

Allocation of Net Income
 
Our net income is allocated to partners’ capital accounts in accordance with the provisions of our partnership agreement.

Distributions
 
On January 18, 2013, the board of directors of our General Partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended December 31, 2012, of $0.42 per unit. This distribution equates to a distribution of $1.68 per outstanding unit, or approximately $26.6 million, on an annualized basis. This cash distribution was paid on February 15, 2013, to all unitholders of record as of the close of business on February 1, 2013.

On April 19, 2013, the board of directors of our General Partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of $0.425 per unit. This distribution equates to a distribution of $1.70 per outstanding unit, or approximately $27.0 million, on an annualized basis. This cash distribution was paid on May 15, 2013, to all unitholders of record as of the close of business on May 1, 2013.
 
Subsequent to June 30, 2013, on July 19, 2013, the board of directors of our General Partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, of $0.425 per unit. This distribution equates to a distribution of $1.70 per outstanding unit, or approximately $27.0 million, on an annualized basis. This cash distribution is to be paid on August 15, 2013, to all unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 1, 2013.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05), with the stated objective of improving the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and increasing the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. As part of ASU 2011-05, the FASB eliminated the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The ASU 2011-05 amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU 2011-05 amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and the amendments are applied retrospectively. In December 2011, with the issuance of ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05,” the FASB announced that it has deferred certain aspects of ASU 2011-05. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-2, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” with the stated objective of improving the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in ASU 2013-2 are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-05, 2011-12 and 2013-2 regarding comprehensive income have not had a significant impact on the accounting or disclosures in our financial statements. 
 
In December 2011, the FASB published ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (ASU 2011-11), which requires an entity to disclose the nature of its rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The objective of ASU 2011-11 is to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The new disclosures will give financial statement users information about both gross and net exposures. In January 2013, the FASB published ASU 2013-01, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (ASU 2013-01), with the stated objective of clarifying the scope of offsetting disclosures and address any unintended consequences of ASU 2011-11. ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2013, and will be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

In July 2013, the FASB published ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" (ASU 2013-11). The

8



amendments in this ASU provide guidance on presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and are expected to reduce diversity in practice and better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE B LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER BORROWINGS
 
On June 24, 2011, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which was amended on December 4, 2012, and May 14, 2013 (as amended, the Credit Agreement), whereby, among other modifications, the maximum credit commitment under the credit facility was increased from $20.0 million to $40.0 million. Under the Credit Agreement, we, along with certain of our subsidiaries, are named as borrowers, and all obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by all of our existing and future, direct and indirect, domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement includes a maximum credit commitment of $40.0 million, is available for letters of credit (with a sublimit of $5.0 million), and includes an uncommitted $20.0 million expansion feature. The Credit Agreement may be used to fund our working capital needs, letters of credit, and for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures and potential future acquisitions. So long as we are not in default, the Credit Agreement may also be used to fund quarterly distributions. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is June 24, 2015. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to three month British Bankers Association LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) plus a margin of 2.25% per annum. 

On March 25, 2013, we borrowed $4.25 million pursuant to the Credit Agreement, which was used to fund ongoing capital expenditures related to the expansion of our domestic and Canadian fleet of compressor units and other equipment and to fund ongoing upgrades to our domestic compressor fleet. On June 24, 2013, we borrowed an additional $7.0 million which has been used to fund our ongoing capital expenditures related to the expansion of our domestic fleet of compressor units as a result of increased demand. As of June 30, 2013, the aggregate $21.5 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement bears interest at a weighted average rate of 2.5625% per annum. As of June 30, 2013, we have availability under our revolving credit facility of $18.3 million, based upon a $39.7 million borrowing capacity and the $21.5 million outstanding balance.

On July 19, 2013, the board of directors of our General Partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended June 30, 2013 of $0.425 per unit. This cash distribution is to be paid on August 15, 2013, to all unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 1, 2013.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report. In addition, the following discussion and analysis also should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2013. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties.
 
Business Overview
 
We are a provider of compression-based production enhancement services, which are used in both conventional wellhead compression applications and unconventional compression applications, and, in certain circumstances, well monitoring and sand separation services. We provide our services to a broad base of natural gas and oil exploration and production companies operating throughout many of the onshore producing regions of the United States. Internationally, we have significant operations in Mexico and Canada and a growing presence in certain countries in South America, Eastern Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
 
Over time, oil and natural gas wells exhibit declining pressure and production. Production enhancement technologies are designed to enhance daily production and total recoverable reserves. Our conventional compression-based production enhancement services are utilized to increase production by deliquifying wells, lowering wellhead pressure, and increasing gas velocity. Our conventional applications include production enhancement services for dry gas wells and liquid-loaded gas wells, and backside auto injection systems (“BAIS”) for liquid-loaded gas wells. Our unconventional applications are utilized primarily in connection with oil and liquids production and include vapor recovery and casing gas system applications. In certain circumstances, in connection with our primary production enhancement services, we also provide ongoing well monitoring services and automated sand separation services. While our conventional applications are primarily associated with mature gas wells with low formation pressures, they are also effectively utilized on newer gas wells that have experienced significant production declines. Our field services are performed by our highly trained staff of regional service supervisors, optimization specialists, and field mechanics. In addition, we design and manufacture most of the compressor units we use to provide our services, and, in certain markets, we sell our compressor units to customers.
 
Demand for domestic conventional production enhancement services was increased compared to the prior year period and, along with increased demand for unconventional application services, resulted in increased domestic service revenues compared to the prior year period. The level of our conventional production enhancement services operations is generally dependent upon the demand for and prices of natural gas in the locations in which we operate. Domestic natural gas prices increased over the second half of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013. However, domestic natural gas prices decreased during the second quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of the year, but remained higher than prices during the second quarter of 2012. If the reduction in natural gas prices experienced in the second quarter of 2013 continues for a prolonged period, this could result in a decline in demand for our conventional production enhancement services.

Though activity in Latin America has increased compared to prior year periods, second quarter 2013 activity in Mexico has decreased significantly compared to the first quarter of 2013 due to current budget re-evaluations by Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) which affected the demand for our services beginning in March 2013. We believe this decline in demand is temporary, and we have begun to see a slow increase in activity in certain gas producing regions of Mexico.
 
Overall, our total revenues and cost of revenues increased during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, compared to the corresponding prior year periods. This increase reflects:
         improved overall utilization of the existing fleet; 
         increased compression and well monitoring services in Latin America;

11



         growth of the fleet within our other international operations; and
increased operating expenses driven by higher labor and equipment costs.
    
While our revenues did increase during the three months ended June 30, 2013, the increase was more than offset by the increase in cost of compression and other services and increased selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, net income for the current quarter was $1.1 million less than that for the prior year period.

The overall growth of our compressor fleet requires capital expenditure investment. The increased activity in Latin America has also required investment in working capital and resulted in additional personnel and related administrative services provided through the Omnibus Services Agreement with TETRA. In addition, our operations in Latin America are subject to potential volatility relating to our Mexico operations as addressed in more detail under “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash Flows.”
 
How We Evaluate Our Operations
 
Operating Expenses. We use operating expenses as a performance measure for our business. We track our operating expenses using month-to-month, year-to-date, and year-to-year comparisons, and as compared to budget. This analysis is useful in identifying adverse cost trends, and allows us to investigate the cause of these trends and implement remedial measures, if possible. The most significant portions of our operating expenses are the labor costs of our field personnel, repair and maintenance of our equipment, and the fuel and other supplies consumed while providing our services. Other materials consumed while performing our services, ad valorem
taxes, other labor costs, truck maintenance, rent on storage facilities, and insurance expenses comprise the significant remainder of our operating expenses. Our operating expenses generally fluctuate with the level of activities performed.

Our labor costs consist primarily of wages and benefits for our field personnel, as well as expenses related to their training and safety. Additional information regarding our operating expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, is provided within the results of operations sections below.
 
EBITDA. We view EBITDA as one of our primary management tools, and we track it on a monthly basis, both in dollars and as a percentage of revenues (compared to the prior month, prior year period, and to budget). We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, including investors, to:
assess our ability to generate available cash sufficient to make distributions to our unitholders and General Partner;
evaluate the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis;
measure operating performance and return on capital as compared to our competitors; and
determine our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.
 
EBITDA 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 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Our EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or similarly titled measures of other entities, as other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do. Management compensates for the limitations of EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures, and incorporating this knowledge into management’s decision-making processes. EBITDA should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount we have available for distributions or that we plan to distribute for a given period, nor should it be equated with “available cash” as defined in our partnership agreement.

Average Utilization Rate of our Compressor Units. We measure the average compressor unit utilization rate of our fleet of compressor units as the average number of compressor units used to provide services during a particular period, divided by the average number of compressor units in our fleet during such period. Our management primarily uses this metric to determine our future need for additional compressor units.
 
The following table sets forth our historical fleet size and average number of compressor units being utilized to provide our production enhancement services during the periods shown and our average utilization rates during those periods.

“Average number of compressor units in service” for each period shown is determined by calculating an average of two numbers, the first of which is the number of compressor units being used to provide services at the beginning of the period and the second of which is the number of compressor units being used to provide services at the end of the period.
(2)
“Average compressor unit utilization” for each period shown is determined by dividing the average number of compressor units in service during such period by the average of two numbers, the first of which is the total number of compressor units in our fleet at the beginning of such period and the second of which is the total number of compressor units in our fleet at the end of such period.
Net Increase in Compressor Fleet Size. We define the net increase in our compressor fleet size during a given period of time as the difference between the number of compressor units we placed into service, less the number of compressor units we removed from service. Management uses this metric to evaluate our operating performance and specifically the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. Additional information regarding changes in the size of our compressor fleet for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 is provided within the results of operations sections below.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
There have been no material changes or developments in the evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies pertaining to our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported. We periodically evaluate these estimates and judgments, including those related to potential impairments of long-lived assets (including goodwill), the useful life of long-lived assets, and the collectability of accounts receivable. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on future expectations that we believe are reasonable. The fair values of a large portion of our total assets and liabilities are measured using significant unobservable inputs. The combination of these factors forms the basis for judgments made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These judgments and estimates may change as new events occur, as new information is acquired, and as changes in our operating environments are encountered. Actual results are likely to differ from our current estimates, and those differences may be material.

Revenues
 
The increase in our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the prior year period, was associated with the increase in revenues from compression and other services, as we utilized an average of 3,220 compressor units to provide services during the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to an average of 2,925 compressor units during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Increases in domestic and Canadian natural gas prices from the prior year period positively affected demand for our compression services during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, and have resulted in an increase in average prices and an increase in the average numbers of compressor units in service in those regions as compared to the prior year period. In addition, revenues per domestic compressor unit have increased, primarily due to the growth of our unconventional production enhancement services. Latin America service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased $0.4 million, as compared to the prior year period, due to additional units in service, as increased activity

14



in Argentina more than offset decreased activity in Mexico. As a result of ongoing budget re-evaluations by PEMEX, beginning in late March 2013, we experienced a decline in the level of activity and revenues in Mexico. We believe this decline in demand is temporary, and we have begun to see a slow increase in activity in certain gas producing regions of Mexico. However, any long-term increase in the levels of Mexico revenues is dependent upon the resolution of these customer budget re-evaluations and the renewal or extension of certain contracts, or the awarding of new contracts, with PEMEX. Issues regarding PEMEX and the status of our contracts with PEMEX are discussed in more detail under “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash Flows.” 
 
In addition to the increase in consolidated service revenues, there was a slight increase in revenues from sales of compressor units and parts during the three month period ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to the increased sales of compressor units in certain international markets. Although sales of compressor units are a part of our operations, the level of revenues from sales of compressors is volatile and more difficult to forecast than our revenues from compression and other services.
 
Cost of revenues
 
The increase in cost of compression and other services during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 more than offset the increase in consolidated revenues compared to the prior period. The increase in cost of compression and other services was primarily due to the increased service activity domestically and growth in Mexico throughout 2012 and into early 2013 in Latin America. Consolidated cost of compression and other services as a percentage of consolidated compression and other services revenues increased to 59.1% during the current year period from 50.4% during the prior year period. The increase in domestic costs was primarily due to increased parts and equipment maintenance expense, as well as increased operating costs in certain of the markets in which we provide unconventional production enhancement services. We also incurred operating expenses during the current year period associated with engine quality improvement initiatives associated with our manufactured compressor units. These operating expenses were not incurred in the prior year period. In addition, Latin America reported increased labor and equipment costs, due to the overall growth during the past year in Mexico, and due to increased activity in Argentina. As a result of increased demand in Mexico during 2012 and early 2013, equipment and personnel operating costs were increased. However, in response to the decline in demand for our services in Mexico noted above, we have taken appropriate cost reduction steps, including an aggressive reduction in headcount and the relocation of certain compressor equipment assets, and we continue to seek additional ways to reduce costs.

Consistent with the relatively constant level of sales of compressor units, the cost of compressors and part sales slightly increased compared to the prior year period.
 
Selling, general and administrative expense
 
Selling, general and administrative expense increased slightly for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to increased administrative salary and personnel related expenses, professional services expenses, and administrative costs allocated pursuant to our Omnibus Agreement. These increases were offset by decreases in taxes and insurance and other administrative related expenses.
 
Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily consists of the depreciation of compressor units. In addition, it includes the depreciation of other operating equipment and facilities. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily as a result of additional units placed into service as compared to the prior year period.

Interest (income) expense
 
As of June 30, 2013, our total outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement was $21.5 million, which included an additional $7.0 million borrowed on June 24, 2013. We incurred approximately $88,000 of interest expense in the current year period associated with these borrowings under the Credit Agreement. There was no outstanding Credit Agreement debt or related interest expense in the prior year period.
 

15



Other (income) expense, net
 
Other expense, net, was $240,000 during the second quarter of 2013 compared to $381,000 during the prior year period, primarily due to decreased foreign currency exchange losses.
 
Provision for income taxes
 
Our domestic operations are not subject to U.S. federal income tax other than with respect to the operations that are conducted through our taxable U.S. corporate subsidiary. We also incur state and local income taxes in certain states, and we incur income taxes related to our foreign operations.

Six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to six months ended June 30, 2012
 
Revenues
 
Our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased due to the increase in revenues from compression and other services, as we utilized an average of 3,244 compressor units to provide services during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to an average of 2,957 compressor units during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Latin America service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $6.8 million as compared to the prior year period due to additional units in service in Mexico and Argentina. As a result of ongoing budget re-evaluations by PEMEX, in March 2013 we began to experience a decline in the level of activity and revenues in Mexico. We believe this decline in demand is temporary, and we have begun to see a slow increase in activity in certain gas producing regions in Mexico. However, any long-term increase in the levels of Mexico revenues is dependent upon the resolution of the PEMEX budget re-evaluations and the renewal or extension of certain contracts, or the awarding of new contracts, with PEMEX. Issues regarding PEMEX and the status of our contracts with PEMEX are discussed in more detail under “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash Flows.” Increases in domestic and Canadian natural gas prices from the prior year period positively affected demand for our conventional compression services in these regions during the six month period ended June 30, 2013, and they have resulted in increases in the average numbers of compressor units in service in those regions. In addition, revenues per domestic and Canadian compressor units have both increased, primarily due to the growth of our unconventional production enhancement services in these regions. Revenues increased from international markets other than Latin America and we expect these revenues will continue to increase compared to the prior year period.

16



 
In addition to the increase in consolidated service revenues, there was a slight increase in revenues from sales of compressor units and parts during the six month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increased sales in certain international markets. Although sales of compressor units are a part of our operations, the level of revenues from sales of compressors is volatile and more difficult to forecast than are our revenues from compression and other services.

Cost of revenues
 
The increase in consolidated cost of compression and other services during the first half of 2013 was primarily due to the increased service activity, particularly in Latin America, compared to the prior year period. Consolidated cost of compression and other services as a percentage of consolidated compression and other services revenues increased to 57.7% during the current year period from 51.3% during the prior year period. This increase was due to increased labor, equipment maintenance, and fuel costs in Latin America, due to the growth of our operations in Mexico and Argentina, as compared to the prior year period, despite the decline in activity during the second quarter. Domestic costs have also increased, primarily due to increased parts, equipment maintenance expense, and wages, as well as increased operating costs in certain of the markets in which we provide unconventional production enhancement services. We also incurred operating expenses during the current year period associated with engine quality improvement initiatives associated with our manufactured compressor units. We have begun to take appropriate cost reduction steps overall, particularly in response to the decline in demand for our services in Mexico, where we have taken aggressive reductions in headcount and relocated certain compressor equipment assets, and we continue to seek additional ways to reduce costs.

Consistent with the relatively constant level of sales of compressor units, cost of compressors and parts sales slightly increased compared to the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative expense
 
Selling, general, and administrative expense levels increased modestly compared to the prior year period, despite the significant growth in revenues, as increases in administrative salary and personnel-related expenses, professional services expense, and administrative costs allocated pursuant to our Omnibus Agreement, were partially offset by decreases in bad debt and other administrative expenses.

Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily consist of the depreciation of compressor units. In addition, it includes the depreciation of other operating equipment and facilities. Depreciation and amortization expense increased, primarily as a result of additional units placed into service as compared to the prior year period.

Interest (income) expense
 
On March 25, 2013, we borrowed $4.25 million pursuant to the Credit Agreement and on June 24, 2013, we borrowed an additional $7.0 million pursuant to the Credit Agreement, bringing our total outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement to $21.5 million at June 30, 2013. We incurred approximately $0.1 million of interest expense in the current year period associated with our borrowings under the Credit Agreement. There was no outstanding Credit Agreement debt or related interest expense in the prior year period.

Other (income) expense, net
 
Other (income) expense, net, remained relatively flat during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the prior year period.

Provision for income taxes
 
Our domestic operations are not subject to U.S. federal income tax, other than with respect to the operations that are conducted through our taxable U.S. corporate subsidiary. We also incur state and local income taxes in certain states, and we incur income taxes related to our foreign operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our primary cash requirements are for distributions, working capital requirements, normal operating expenses, and capital expenditures. Our sources of funds are our existing cash balances, cash generated from our operations, long-term and short-term borrowings, and future issuances of equity, which we believe will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements. We believe that we have sufficient liquid assets, cash flow from operations, and borrowing capacity to meet our financial commitments, debt service obligations, and anticipated capital expenditures. We expect to fund future acquisitions and capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations, funds borrowed under our credit facility, funds received from the issuance of long-term debt, and the issuance of additional equity. However, we are subject to business and operational risks that could materially adversely affect our cash flows. Please read Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
The continued growth in our operations, both internationally and domestically, requires ongoing significant capital expenditure investment. In addition to this capital expenditure investment, budget re-evaluations and related increased receivable collection time from our primary customer in Mexico have resulted in increased working capital requirements. Continued growth of our operations or increased working capital requirements could result in the need for additional borrowings. 
 
On July 19, 2013, the board of directors of our General Partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, of $0.425 per unit. This distribution equates to a distribution of $1.70 per outstanding unit, or approximately $27.0 million, on an annualized basis. This cash distribution is to be paid on August 15, 2013, to all unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 1, 2013.
 
Cash Flows
 
The following table summarizes our primary sources and uses of cash for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Operating Activities
 
Net cash from operating activities decreased by $1.0 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 to $13.4 million compared to $14.5 million for the 2012 period, primarily due to a decline in revenues from our Mexico operations and increases in our cost of compression and other services, which resulted in a decrease in our Latin America earnings. Cash provided from our Mexico operations is subject to the volatility associated with interruptions caused by current PEMEX budgetary issues, uncertainties regarding the renewal of our existing customer contracts with PEMEX under their current terms and the possibility that new contracts for such projects could be awarded to our competitors, and other changes in contract arrangements, security concerns, and the timing of collection of our receivables from PEMEX.
 
During the first quarter of 2013, PEMEX represented 31.6% of our total revenues and during the second quarter of 2013, PEMEX represented 20% of total revenues. During the second quarter of 2013, we were notified by PEMEX of their intention to extend, until late 2013, certain of our contracts that represent a majority of our Mexico revenues and that were scheduled to expire in June 2013. At the request of PEMEX, we are currently operating under this understanding and anticipate that we will bid on new contracts covering these activities during the last half of 2013. Based on our prior course of business with PEMEX, we anticipate that we will be awarded new contracts or be able to extend some or a majority of our activities under the extended contracts on the same or similar terms or to provide similar services under other of our contracts with PEMEX.  However, there are no assurances that we will retain all of our current business with PEMEX.
 

18



Investing Activities
 
Capital expenditures during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 increased by $2.5 million, or 20.2%, to $14.9 million compared to $12.4 million for the 2012 period, primarily due to an increase in the number of compressor units manufactured or upgraded during the period. Included within this amount of current year period capital expenditures were maintenance capital expenditures of $0.6 million. The increase in the number of compressor units manufactured was primarily due to the increasing demand for domestic compression services. Compressor units were also upgraded during the current year period to facilitate the use of such units in domestic unconventional applications such as vapor recovery. We anticipate that additional capital expenditures will be required to meet increased demand.
 
Financing Activities
 
Our partnership agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all of our available cash to our unitholders of record on the applicable record date and to our General Partner. For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, we distributed approximately $13.4 million to our unitholders and General Partner. On July 19, 2013, the board of directors of our General Partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended June 30, 2013, of $0.425 per unit. This distribution equates to a distribution of $1.70 per outstanding unit, or approximately $27.0 million on an annualized basis. This cash distribution is to be paid on August 15, 2013, to all unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 1, 2013.
 
Our sources of funds for liquidity needs are existing cash balances, cash generated from our operations, long-term and short-term borrowings, and future issuances of equity.
 
Bank Credit Facilities

On June 24, 2011, we entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which was subsequently amended on December 4, 2012 and May 14, 2013. Under the Credit Agreement, we, along with certain of our subsidiaries, are named as borrowers, and all obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by all of our existing and future, direct and indirect, domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement includes a maximum credit commitment of $40.0 million, is available for letters of credit (with a sublimit of $5.0 million) and includes an uncommitted $20.0 million expansion feature. The Credit Agreement may be used to fund our working capital needs, letters of credit, and for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures and potential acquisitions. So long as we are not in default, the Credit Agreement may also be used to fund quarterly distributions. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is June 24, 2015.  On March 25, 2013, we borrowed $4.25 million pursuant to the Credit Agreement, which was used to fund ongoing capital expenditures related to the expansion of our domestic and Canadian fleet of compressor units and other equipment and to fund ongoing upgrades to our domestic compressor fleet. In addition, on June 24, 2013, we borrowed an additional $7.0 million, which has been used to fund our ongoing capital expenditures related to the expansion of our domestic fleet of compressor units as a result of increased demand. Subsequent to this borrowing, we had $21.5 million outstanding under the credit facility.
 
All obligations under the Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first-lien security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets (excluding real property) of our existing and future, direct and indirect, domestic subsidiaries, and all of the capital stock of our existing and future, direct and indirect, subsidiaries (limited, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to 65% of the capital stock of first-tier foreign subsidiaries). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are limited to a borrowing capacity that is determined based on our domestic accounts receivable, inventory, and compressor fleet. As of June 30, 2013, we have availability under our revolving credit facility of $18.3 million, based upon a $39.7 million calculated current borrowing capacity and the $21.5 million outstanding balance.
 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) British Bankers Association LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for an interest period equal to one, two, three or six months (as we select) plus a margin of 2.25% per annum or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate of interest announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or (2) British Bankers Association LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for a one-month interest period on such day, plus 2.50% per annum. In addition to paying interest on any outstanding principal under the Credit Agreement, we are required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments

19



thereunder of 0.425% per annum, paid quarterly in arrears. We are also required to pay customary collateral monitoring fees and letter of credit fees, including without limitation, a letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin on revolving credit LIBOR loans and fronting fees.
 
At any time, we may voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the revolving commitment amount or prepay, in whole or in part, outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to Eurodollar rate loans. The Credit Agreement contains a mandatory prepayment feature that requires the prepayment of amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement (without a concurrent reduction of the revolving credit facility commitment): (i) upon a sale or transfer of our assets (excluding inventory sold in the ordinary course of business and subject to exceptions, including reinvestment of proceeds); (ii) upon the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of any indebtedness (other than indebtedness permitted by the Credit Agreement); (iii) when there is an availability shortfall under the Credit Agreement; and (iv) upon receipt of property or casualty insurance proceeds or condemnation awards (unless applied to replace lost or condemned assets).
 
The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio (ratio of earnings before interest and taxes to interest) of 2.5 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, calculated on a trailing four quarter basis, whenever availability is less than $5 million. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes customary negative covenants, which, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional debt, incur or permit certain liens to exist, or make certain loans, investment, acquisitions or other restricted payments. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and events of default, including among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, certain events under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, material judgments, actual or asserted failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the revolving credit facility to be in force and effect, and change of control. If an event of default occurs, our lenders would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Credit Agreement and all actions permitted to be taken by secured creditors. We are in compliance with the covenants and conditions of our Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2013.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of June 30, 2013, we had no “off balance sheet arrangements” that may have a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations and commitments principally include obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness and obligations under operating leases. Except for the following, during the first six months of 2013, there were no material changes in the specified contractual obligations.

On March 25, 2013, we borrowed $4.25 million pursuant to the Credit Agreement, which was used to fund ongoing capital expenditures related to the expansion of our domestic and Canadian fleet of compressor units and other equipment and to fund ongoing upgrades to our domestic compressor fleet. On June 24, 2013, we borrowed an additional $7.0 million which was used to fund our ongoing capital expenditures related to the expansion of our domestic fleet of compressor units as a result of increased demand. As of June 30, 2013, the aggregate $21.5 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement bears interest at a weighted average rate of 2.5625% per annum. As of June 30, 2013, we have availability under our revolving credit facility of $18.3 million, based upon a $39.7 million borrowing capacity and the $21.5 million outstanding balance.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements contained herein and elsewhere may be deemed to be forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to the “safe harbor” provisions of that act. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “would,” “could,” “estimates,” and similar terms. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning our business outlook, future or expected sales, earnings, costs, expenses, acquisitions, asset recoveries, working capital, capital expenditures, financial condition, other results of operations, anticipated activities by our customers, our ability to extend or obtain contracts with our customers, the expected impact of current economic and capital market conditions on the oil and gas industry and our operations, other statements regarding our beliefs, plans, goals, future events and performance, and other statements that are not purely historical. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements. Some of the risk factors that could affect our actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from any such results that might be projected, forecast, estimated, or budgeted by us in such forward-looking statements are set forth in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 11, 2013, and others that may be set forth from time to time in our filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as may be required by law.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We do not take title to any commodities in connection with our services and, accordingly, have no direct exposure to fluctuating commodity prices. While we have a significant number of customers who have retained our services through periods of high and low commodity prices, we generally experience less growth and more customer attrition during periods of significantly high or low commodity prices. For a discussion of our indirect exposure to fluctuating commodity prices, please read “Risk Factors — Certain Business Risks” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2013. We depend on domestic and international demand for and production of oil and natural gas, and a reduction in this demand or production could adversely affect the demand or the prices we charge for our services, which could cause our revenues and cash available for distribution to our unitholders to decrease in the future. We do not currently hedge, and do not intend to hedge, our indirect exposure to fluctuating commodity prices.
 
We have exposure to changes in interest rates on our indebtedness associated with the revolving credit facility. On June 30, 2013, we had a total of $21.5 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement. As interest charged on the Credit Facility is based on a variable rate, we are exposed to floating interest rate risk on outstanding borrowings. Any increase or decrease in the prevailing interest rate will impact our interest expense during periods of indebtedness under the Credit Facility. We may use certain derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates in the future, but as of August 9, 2013, we do not have in place any hedges or forward contracts.

 We have exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates associated with our operations in Latin America and Canada. Most of our billings under our contracts with PEMEX and other clients in Mexico are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, a large portion of our expenses and costs under those contracts are incurred in Mexican pesos, and we retain cash balances denominated in pesos. As such, we are exposed to fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. As Mexican peso denominated assets are largely offset by Mexican peso denominated liabilities, a hypothetical increase or decrease in the U.S. dollar-Mexican peso foreign exchange rate of 2.0% would have a $0.2 million impact on our net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2013. We may use certain derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to foreign exchange rates in the future, but, as of August 9, 2013, we do not have in place any hedges or forward contracts.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of our General Partner, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of our General Partner concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
