NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

CSI Compressco LP, a Delaware limited partnership, is a provider of compression and treating services. Natural gas compression is used for oil production, gathering, artificial lift, transmission, processing, and storage. Treating services include the removal of contaminants from a natural gas stream and cooling to reduce the temperature of produced gas and liquids. We also sell used standard compressor packages and provide aftermarket services and compressor package parts and components manufactured by third-party suppliers. We provide contract and treating services and compressor parts and component sales to a broad base of natural gas and oil exploration and production, midstream, and transmission companies operating throughout many of the onshore producing regions of the United States as well as in a number of international locations, including the countries of Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Egypt and Chile. Previously, our equipment sales (new unit sales) business included the fabrication and sale of new standard and custom-designed, engineered compressor packages fabricated primarily at our facility in Midland, Texas. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we fully exited the new unit sales business and we have reflected these operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 - “Discontinued Operations.” Used equipment sales revenue continues to be included in equipment sales revenue. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “the Partnership,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” we are describing CSI Compressco LP and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of our management, our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022, and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 include all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to provide a fair statement of our results for these interim periods. Operating results for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022.

On November 10, 2021, the Partnership entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) by and among the Partnership, CSI Compressco GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “general partner”), Spartan Energy Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Spartan”) and CSI Compressco Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Compressco Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, Spartan contributed to the Partnership 100% of the limited liability company interest in Treating Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Treating Holdco”), 100% of the common stock in Spartan Terminals Operating, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Spartan Terminals”), and 99% of the limited liability company interests in Spartan Operating Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Spartan Operating” and together with Treating Holdco and Spartan Terminals, “Spartan Treating”) (such interests in Spartan Treating, the “Contributed Interests”) in exchange for 48.4 million common units in the Partnership. We refer to the acquisition of the contributed interests as the “Spartan Acquisition.” The Spartan Acquisition was accounted for as a change in reporting entity between entities under common control in accordance with ASC 250-10-45-21. A change in reporting entity requires retrospective application for all periods as if the Spartan Acquisition had been in effect since inception of common control. As a result, the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the Partnership reflected in this report have been prepared as if the change in reporting entity occurred on January 29, 2021. See Note 4 - “Common Control Acquisition,” for a description of the transaction.

Table of Contents

Segments

Our general partner has concluded that we operate in one reportable segment.

Business Combinations

When we acquire a business from an entity under common control, whereby the companies are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the transaction, it is treated similar to the pooling of interests method of accounting. The assets and liabilities are recorded at the transferring entity’s historical cost instead of reflecting the fair value of assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the financial statements reflect the combined entities at historical carrying values from the date of common control for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies or the application thereof during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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, expenses, and impairments 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. We have concentrated credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in a major bank, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). We monitor the financial health of the bank and have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk. Management believes the financial institutions are financially sound and risk of loss is minimal.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable, which are primarily due from companies of varying size engaged in oil and gas activities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Egypt. Our policy is to review the financial condition of customers before extending credit and periodically updating customer credit information. Payment terms are on a short-term basis. The risk of loss from the inability to collect trade receivables is heightened during prolonged periods of low oil and natural gas commodity prices.

We have currency exchange rate risk exposure related to transactions denominated in a foreign currency as well as to investments in certain of our international operations. Our risk management activities include the use of foreign currency forward purchase and sale derivative contracts as part of a program designed to mitigate the currency exchange rate risk exposure on selected international operations.

We have $73.6 million outstanding under our variable rate revolving credit facilities as of June 30, 2022 and face market risk exposure related to changes in applicable interest rates.

Foreign Currencies

We have designated the Canadian dollar as the functional currency for our operations in Canada. We are exposed to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and certain foreign currencies, including the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Argentine peso, the Egyptian pound, and the Chilean peso as a result of our international operations. Foreign currency exchange (gains) losses are included in other (income) expense, net and totaled $0.7

million and $1.2 million during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $(0.5) million and $(0.1) million during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Leases

Lessee

As a lessee, unless the lease meets the criteria of short-term and is excluded per our policy election described below, we initially recognize a lease liability and related right-of-use asset on the commencement date. The right-of-use asset represents our right to use an underlying asset and the lease liability represents our obligation to make lease payments to the lessor over the lease term.

All of our long-term leases are operating leases and are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, accrued liabilities and other, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. Where we are a lessee in a contract that includes an option to extend or terminate the lease, we include the extension period or exclude the period covered by the termination option in our lease term in determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability, if it is reasonably certain that we would exercise the option.

As an accounting policy election, we do not include short-term leases on our balance sheet. Short-term leases include leases with a term of 12 months or less, inclusive of renewal options we are reasonably certain to exercise. The lease payments for short-term leases are included as operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term in cost of revenues or selling, general, and administrative expense based on the use of the underlying asset. We recognize lease costs for variable lease payments not included in the determination of a lease liability in the period in which an obligation is incurred.

As allowed by U.S. GAAP, we do not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component for our contract services contracts and instead account for those components as a single component based on the accounting treatment of the predominant component. In our evaluation of whether Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 “Leases” or ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” is applicable to the combined component based on the predominant component, we determined the services nonlease component is predominant, resulting in the ongoing recognition of our compression services contracts following ASC 606.

Our operating leases are recognized at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When the implicit discount rate is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the discount rate used to determine the present value of lease payments. Consistent with other long-lived assets or asset groups that are held and used, we test for impairment of our right-of-use assets when impairment indicators are present.

Lessor

Our agreements for rental equipment contain an operating lease component under ASC 842 because we, as the lessor, retain substantial exposure to changes in the underlying asset’s value, unlike a sale or secured lending arrangement. Therefore, we do not derecognize the underlying asset, and recognize income associated with providing the lessee the right to control the use of the asset ratably over the lease term.

As a lessor, we recognize operating lease revenue on our statement of operations as equipment rentals. This revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease based on the monthly rate in the agreement. The leased asset remains on the balance sheet consistent with other property, plant and equipment. Cash receipts associated with all leases are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

The leased equipment primarily consists of the Spartan Treating amine plants, cooling units and production equipment. All of this equipment is modular and skid mounted. It can be moved between locations. Lease terms for this equipment vary in length. Amine plants range from one to five years while the cooling units range from six months to two years.

Table of Contents

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of compressor package parts and supplies and work in process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For parts and supplies, cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of work in progress is determined using the specific identification method.

Impairments and Other Charges

Impairments of long-lived assets, including identified intangible assets, are determined periodically, when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, the determination of the amount of impairment is based on our judgments as to the future undiscounted operating cash flows to be generated from the relevant assets throughout their remaining estimated useful lives. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the related asset, an impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value. Fair value of intangible assets is generally determined using the discounted present value of future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks inherent with the specific assets. Assets held for disposal are recorded at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less estimated selling costs.

We did not record any impairments of long-lived assets during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Income Taxes

Our operations are not subject to U.S. federal income tax other than the operations that are conducted through taxable subsidiaries. We incur state and local income taxes in certain areas of the U.S. in which we conduct business. We incur income taxes and are subject to withholding requirements related to certain of our operations in Latin America, Canada, and other foreign countries in which we operate. Furthermore, we also incur Texas Margin Tax, which, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, is classified as an income tax for reporting purposes. A portion of the carrying value of certain deferred tax assets is subject to a valuation allowance.

Earnings Per Common Unit

Our computations of earnings per common unit are based on the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the applicable period. Basic earnings per common unit are determined by dividing net income (loss) allocated to the common units 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 units during the period.

When computing earnings per common unit under the two class method in periods when distributions are greater than earnings, the amount of the distribution is deducted from net income (loss) and the excess of distributions over earnings is allocated between the general partner and common units based on how our Partnership Agreement allocates net losses.

Diluted earnings per common unit are computed using the treasury stock method, which considers the potential future issuance of limited partner common units. Unvested phantom units are not included in basic earnings per common unit, as they are not considered to be participating securities, but are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common unit. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, all unvested phantom units were excluded from the calculation of diluted common units because the impact was anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements

We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. We utilize fair value measurements on a recurring basis in the accounting for our foreign currency forward purchase and sale derivative contracts. For these fair value measurements, we utilize the quoted value (a Level 2 fair value measurement). Refer to Note 9 – “Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion.

Fair value measurements are also utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as in the allocation of purchase consideration for acquisition transactions to the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets (a Level 3 fair value measurement) and for the impairment of long-lived assets (a Level 3 fair value measurement).

Distributions

On January 20, 2022 and April 19, 2022, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the respective quarter end of $0.01 per outstanding common unit. These distributions equate to a distribution of $0.04 per outstanding common unit on an annualized basis. These quarterly distributions were paid on February 14, 2022 and May 13, 2022 to each of the holders of common units of record as of the close of business on January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards adopted in 2022

We did not adopt any new standards in 2022.

Standards not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses on financial instruments not accounted for at fair value through net income. The provisions require credit impairments to be measured over the contractual life of an asset and developed with consideration for past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic information. Credit impairments will be accounted for as an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis at each reporting date. Updates at each reporting date after initial adoption will be recorded through selling, general, and administrative expense. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us the first quarter of the 2023 fiscal year. We continue to assess the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 2, 2020, we completed the sale of our Midland manufacturing facility. The Midland facility was used to design, fabricate and assemble new standard and customized compressor packages for our new unit sales business. In connection with the Midland manufacturing facility sale, we entered into an agreement with the buyer to continue to operate a portion of the facility, which allowed us to close out the remaining backlog for the new unit sales business and to continue to operate our aftermarket services business at that location for an interim period. Following completion of the last unit in October 2020, we ceased fabricating new compressor packages for sales to third parties or for our own service fleet. The operations associated with the new unit sales business were previously reported in equipment sales revenues and are now reflected as discontinued operations in our financial statements for all periods presented. Used equipment sales revenue continues to be included in equipment sales revenue. A summary of financial information related to our discontinued operations for the new unit sales business is as follows:

NOTE 3 — REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

As of June 30, 2022, we had $80.8 million of remaining contractual performance obligations for compression services. As a practical expedient, this amount does not include revenue for compression service contracts whose original expected duration is less than twelve months and does not consider the effects of the time value of money. Expected revenue to be recognized in the future as of June 30, 2022 for completion of performance obligations of compression service contracts are as follows:

NOTE 4 — COMMON CONTROL ACQUISITION

On November 10, 2021, the Partnership entered into the Contribution Agreement with the general partner, Spartan, and Compressco Sub. Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, Spartan contributed Spartan Treating to the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of 48.4 million common units in the Partnership to Spartan. As the Partnership and Spartan Treating were under common control at the time of the Spartan Acquisition, the acquisition was deemed to be a transaction under common control under ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” Therefore, we accounted for this transaction at the carrying amount of the net assets acquired and the results of operations have been combined for the Partnership and Spartan Treating from the date of common control, which was January 29, 2021.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are reported at their historical carrying amounts. The balance sheet of Spartan Treating on November 10, 2021, the date of acquisition, consisted of (in thousands):

Current liabilities	7,597
Long-term debt, net	32,590
Other liabilities	239
Total liabilities	40,426
Net assets	$	27,368

The Partnership’s consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include the assets and liabilities of Spartan Treating, including intercompany eliminations. As the results of operations for Spartan Treating were consolidated as of January 29, 2021, the date common control began, the Partnership’s balances for Partners’ capital as of January 29, 2021 were adjusted to include Spartan Treating’s equity balances as of that date. On November 10, 2021, Partners’ capital associated with Spartan Treating was $27.4 million. In consolidation, Partners’ capital associated with Spartan Treating is eliminated.

The consideration for the Spartan Treating acquisition was the issuance to Spartan of 48.4 million common units. The value of the common units was approximately $65.3 million. As the acquisition is accounted for as a transaction under common control and the transfer of assets and liabilities occurs at historical cost, the value of the common units has no impact on Partners’ capital. The difference between the consideration and the net assets acquired of $37.9 million is recognized as a deemed distribution as the book value of net assets as of November 10, 2021 was less than the consideration. As the Spartan Treating acquisition was accounted for retrospectively to the date of common control, the Partnership’s Consolidated Statement of Operations includes Spartan Treating’s net income of $4.0 million corresponding to the period from January 29, 2021 to June 30, 2021.

The following tables include unaudited pro-forma financial information and the effect of the Spartan Acquisition after elimination of intercompany transactions.

NOTE 6 — LEASES

Lessor Accounting

Our leased equipment primarily consists of amine plants, cooling units and other production equipment. Certain of our agreements with our customers for rental equipment contain an operating lease component under ASC 842 because (i) there are identified assets, (ii) the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use and (iii) the customer directs the use of the identified assets throughout the period of use. We have elected to apply the practical expedient provided to lessors to combine the lease and non-lease component of a contract where the revenue recognition pattern is the same and where the lease component, when accounted for separately, would be considered an operating lease. The practical expedient also allows a lessor to account for the combined lease and non-lease components under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when the non-lease component is the predominant element of the combined component.

Our lease agreements generally have contract terms based on monthly rates. Lease revenue is recognized straight-line based on these monthly rates. We do not provide an option for the lessee to purchase the rented assets at the end of the lease and the lessees do not provide residual value guarantees on the rented assets.

We recognized operating lease revenue, which is included in “Equipment rentals” on the consolidated statements of operations as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,

NOTE 8 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

GP Sale

On January 29, 2021, Spartan acquired from TETRA Technologies, Inc. (“TETRA”) the Partnership’s general partner, its incentive distribution rights (the “IDRs”) and 10.95 million common units in the Partnership (the “GP Sale”). The Partnership did not issue any common units or incur any debt as a result of the transaction. TETRA retained 5.2 million common units of the Partnership.

Acquisition of Spartan entities

On November 10, 2021, the Partnership entered into the Contribution Agreement by and among the Partnership, the general partner, Spartan, and Compressco Sub. Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, Spartan contributed to the Partnership 100% of the limited liability company interest in Treating Holdco, 100% of the common stock in Spartan Terminals, and 99% of the limited liability company interests in Spartan Operating and the general partner agreed to cancel its IDRs in the Partnership in exchange for 48.4 million common units representing the limited partner interests in the Partnership. We refer to the acquisition of the Contributed Interests as the Spartan Acquisition. The general partner agreed to cancel its IDRs in the Partnership within 60 days of the Spartan Acquisition, and amended and restated its limited partnership agreement on January 6, 2022 to effect such cancellation. In connection with the Spartan Acquisition, we closed a private placement of common units to certain investors for gross proceeds of $52.7 million (the “Private Placement”).

Spartan and General Partner Ownership

As of June 30, 2022, Spartan’s ownership interest in us was approximately 45.5%, with the common units held by the public representing an approximate 55% interest in us. As of June 30, 2022, Spartan’s ownership was through various wholly owned subsidiaries and consisted of approximately 45.0% of the limited partner interests plus the approximate 0.5% general partner interest. As a result of its ownership of common units and its general partner interest in us, Spartan received distributions of $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Prior to the GP sale, as a result of its ownership of common units and its general partner interest in us, TETRA received distributions of $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Indemnification Agreement

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and officers with regard to their services as a director or officer, in order to enhance the indemnification rights provided under Delaware law and our Partnership Agreement. The individual indemnification agreements provide each such director or officer with the right to receive his or her costs of defense if he or she is made a party or witness to any proceeding other than a proceeding brought by or in the right of us, provided that such director or officer has not acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud with respect to the action that gave rise to his or her participation in the proceeding.

Other Sources of Financing

In February 2019, we entered into a transaction with TETRA whereby TETRA agreed to fund the construction of and purchase from us up to $15.0 million of new compression services equipment and to subsequently lease the equipment back to us in exchange for a monthly rental fee. Pursuant to this arrangement, $14.8 million was funded by TETRA for the construction of new compressor services equipment and all

Table of Contents

compression units were completed and deployed under this agreement. For accounting purposes, the inclusion of a repurchase option that allowed us to repurchase the equipment at a fixed price during certain periods of the agreement caused the transaction to be accounted for as a financing transaction, as opposed to a sale-leaseback, resulting in the funded amount being recorded as a financing obligation. Accordingly, the compressor services equipment was included in property, plant, and equipment and corresponding financing obligations were included in amounts payable to affiliates and long-term affiliate payable in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. In December 2020, TETRA sold these compressors and assigned the corresponding leases to Spartan Energy Partners LP (“Spartan”). In January 2021, TETRA sold the general partner, IDRs and a majority of its common units in the Partnership to Spartan who assumed the financing obligation. On November 10, 2021, the Partnership completed the Spartan Acquisition. See ‘Acquisition of Spartan entities’ for further description above. This resulted in the reassessment of the lease as an operating lease, thus the Partnership derecognized the assets and the related liabilities as of November 10, 2021. Additionally, all revenue and expenses were eliminated in consolidation.

Mexico Payroll Affiliate

In January 2021, the Partnership entered into an agreement to purchase a TETRA-owned entity, which administers payroll in Mexico, for consideration of approximately $0.4 million. The difference between the fair value of the affiliate and TETRA’s historic carrying value of the affiliates’ net assets was recorded as a capital distribution. The associated liability was paid in April 2021.

NOTE 9 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined by ASC Topic 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that may differ from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.

Under U.S. GAAP, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurements should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, where possible. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs may be needed to measure fair value in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which could include the reporting entity’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial Instruments

Derivative Contracts

We have currency exchange rate risk exposure related to transactions denominated in a foreign currency as well as to investments in certain of our international operations. We enter into 30-day foreign currency forward derivative contracts as part of a program designed to mitigate the currency exchange rate risk exposure on selected transactions of certain foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2022, we had the following foreign currency derivative contract outstanding relating to a portion of our foreign operations:

change in the fair value of these derivative instruments during a period will be included in the determination of earnings for that period.

The fair values of our foreign currency derivative contracts are based on quoted market values (a Level 2 fair value measurement). None of our foreign currency derivative instruments contains credit risk related contingent features that would require us to post assets or collateral for contracts that are classified as liabilities. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $0.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of net (gains) losses associated with our foreign currency derivatives program. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, we recognized $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of (gains) losses associated with our foreign currency derivatives program. These amounts are included in other (income) expense, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 10 — INCOME TAXES

As a partnership, we are generally not subject to income taxes at the entity level because our income is included in the tax returns of our partners. Our operations are treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes with each partner being separately taxed on its share of taxable income. However, a portion of our business is conducted through taxable U.S. corporate subsidiaries. Accordingly, a U.S. federal and state income tax provision has been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. State tax expense relating to the Texas franchise tax liability is included in the provision for income taxes. Certain of our operations are located outside of the U.S., and the Partnership, through its foreign subsidiaries, is responsible for income taxes in these countries.

Our effective tax rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 were negative 13.0% and negative 16.0%, respectively, primarily attributable to taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions and Texas gross margin taxes combined with losses generated in entities for which no related tax benefit has been recorded. Included in our deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits that are available to offset future income tax liabilities in the U.S. as well as in certain foreign jurisdictions.

NOTE 11 — 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 any 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.

NOTE 12 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 19, 2022, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended June 30, 2022 of $0.01 per outstanding common unit. This distribution equates to a distribution of $0.04 per outstanding common unit on an annualized basis. This distribution will be paid on August 12, 2022 to each of the holders of common units of record as of the close of business on July 29, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of the Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” contained herein. In addition, the following discussion and analysis also should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022 (“2021 Annual Report”). This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties.

Business Overview

We provide services including natural gas compression and treating services. Natural gas compression equipment is used for natural gas and oil production, gathering, artificial lift, production enhancement, transmission, processing, and storage. We also provide a variety of natural gas treating services. Our compression business includes a fleet of approximately 4,800 compressor packages providing approximately 1.2 million in aggregate horsepower, utilizing a full spectrum of low-, medium-, and high-horsepower engines. Our treating fleet includes amine units, gas coolers, and related equipment. Our aftermarket business provides compressor package overhaul, repair, engineering and design, reconfiguration and maintenance services, as well as the sale of compressor package parts and components manufactured by third-party suppliers. Our customers operate throughout many of the onshore producing regions of the United States, as well as in a number of international locations, including Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Egypt and Chile.

Demand for our services is directly driven by the production of crude oil and associated natural gas from unconventional shale plays, production of natural gas from conventional plays and the transmission of natural gas to and within sales pipelines. Our fleet of compressors, ranging from 20 to 2,500 horsepower per unit, allows us to service our customers compression needs at the wellhead through high-horsepower compression needs at centralized gathering and gas lift facilities.

During 2021, our financial results were affected by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reduced spending by oil and gas operators led to a decline in our compression fleet utilization which impacted revenues and pricing. Oil and natural gas commodity prices gained strength throughout 2021 and remained strong in the first half of 2022. West Texas Intermediate oil prices reached an average of $109 per barrel in the second quarter of 2022, a $13 per barrel increase from the first quarter. This increase in commodity prices, coupled with the waning impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, resulted in an increase in the demand for our contract services, aftermarket services and equipment rentals. Our compression fleet utilization increased to 82.8% as of June 30, 2022 compared to 76.9% as of June 30, 2021. In addition, as a result of the increased customer demand, we implemented price increases on many of our compression contracts in the first and second quarters of 2022. Revenue from contract services increased each quarter in 2021 and this trend has continued through the first half of 2022. We secured orders from key customers for high-horsepower and electric compressors that started generating revenues in the fourth quarter of 2021 and continue to be deployed throughout 2022. Our customers remain focused on capital discipline; however, the levels of quote activity and awards remain strong. As the market environment continues to evolve, competition for field employees continues to increase and inflationary pressures continue to drive certain costs higher. In addition, supply chain disruptions have impacted the availability of parts and supplies. External factors such as war and other armed conflicts, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and any resulting economic downturn, could adversely affect our results of operations, impair our ability to raise capital or otherwise adversely impact our ability to realize certain business strategies. We continue to monitor these risks and take the necessary actions to mitigate them. We have and will continue to evaluate the sale of non-core assets, including our low-horsepower compression fleet. We can provide no assurance that we will consummate a future sale of our low-horsepower compression fleet.

With the rapidly changing market environment, we will continue to proactively manage our capital allocation strategies, our liquidity requirements and monitor our expenses and financial performance.

Table of Contents

While we are not able to predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, inflation and other factors will continue to impact overall market conditions, the demand for oil and gas, and the effect they will ultimately have on our business, we continued to see activity levels increase in the first half of 2022. Strong oil and gas commodity prices and the increase in demand for our services have positively impacted our results of operations in 2022. Although we have seen favorable trends in the first half of 2022, the risk of additional strains of COVID-19 or the potential outbreak of a new or mutated virus, the possibility of future lockdowns, the impact of continued inflationary pressures, and the impact of continued political conflicts, makes any forecast uncertain. In addition, continued capital discipline throughout the energy sector may limit production growth even as the economy recovers from these external factors. Despite challenging and changing market conditions, we will continue to maintain our commitment to safety and service quality for our customers.

Results of Operations

The following data should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the associated Notes contained elsewhere in this document. On November 10, 2021, Spartan contributed Spartan Treating to the Partnership. As the Partnership and Spartan Treating were under common control at the time of the Spartan Acquisition, the results of operations have been combined for the Partnership and Spartan Treating from the date common control began which was January 29, 2021. See Note 4 - “Common Control Acquisition” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Previously, our equipment sales business included our new unit sales business that consisted of the fabrication and sale of new standard and custom-designed, engineered compressor packages fabricated primarily at our facility in Midland, Texas. We sold the Midland facility in July 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we fully exited the new unit sales business and we have reflected these operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 - “Discontinued Operations” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Used equipment sales revenue continues to be included in equipment sales revenue.

Revenues

Contract services revenues increased $6.0 million or 10.2%, in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues is due to an increase in activity levels driven by the increase in oil and gas commodity prices and the improved market conditions. Compression fleet utilization and operating horsepower both increased in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year quarter. In addition, due to the improved market conditions, we implemented price increases starting in the second half of 2021 and in the first half of 2022 resulting in increased revenues. Operating horsepower increased compared to the prior year quarter due to the deployment of new compressor units in the first half of 2022 and the redeployment of idle compressor units in late 2021 and throughout the first half of 2022.

Aftermarket services revenues increased $1.3 million or 8.7% during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to increased demand for parts and services resulting from an increase in activity levels by our customers. With the improvement in market conditions and the strong oil and gas commodity prices, customers have increased production of oil and gas which, in turn, increased the demand for parts and services needed to maintain their compression fleet.

Equipment rentals revenues increased $0.5 million or 17.5% during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to an increase in the demand for our gas coolers as customer activity levels increase.

Equipment sales revenues increased $0.2 million during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to an increase in used unit sales.

Cost of revenues

Cost of contract services revenue increased compared to the prior year quarter consistent with increased revenues. Cost of contract services as a percentage of contract services revenues increased from 48.4% in 2021 to 52.2% in 2022. This increase is primarily due to inflationary pressures which have resulted in increased costs in certain operating cost categories in the second quarter of 2022 including parts, field labor, and fluids costs.

Cost of aftermarket services revenues increased compared to the prior year quarter consistent with the increase in associated revenues.

Cost of equipment rentals increased during the current quarter due to the increase in the corresponding revenues. Additionally, to support the growth in the gas cooler rental business, equipment rental expense increased compared to the prior year period.

Cost of equipment sales increased during the current year quarter consistent with the increase in the corresponding revenues.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of the depreciation of compressor packages in our service fleet. In addition, it includes the depreciation of other operating equipment and facilities and the amortization of intangibles. Depreciation and amortization expense remained relatively consistent compared to the prior year quarter.

Selling, general, and administrative expense

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to an increase in salaries and wages and consulting services expenses.

Table of Contents

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net, decreased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to the redemption of our 7.25% Senior Notes in the fourth quarter 2021.

Other (income) expense, net

Other (income) expense, net, was $0.3 million of expense, net, during the current year quarter compared to $0.2 million of income, net, during the prior year quarter. The change in other (income) expense, net was driven by higher foreign currency losses, primarily from our operations in Mexico.

Provision for income taxes

As a partnership, we are generally not subject to income taxes at the entity level because our income is included in the tax returns of our partners. Our operations are treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes with each partner being separately taxed on its share of taxable income. However, a portion of our business is conducted through taxable U.S. corporate subsidiaries. Accordingly, a U.S. federal and state income tax provision has been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. Certain of our operations are located outside of the U.S. and the Partnership, through its foreign subsidiaries, is responsible for income taxes in these countries.

Our effective tax rate for the current year quarter was negative 12.0% primarily attributable to taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions and Texas gross margin taxes, combined with losses generated in entities for which no related tax benefit has been recorded. Included in our deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits that are available to offset future income tax liabilities in the U.S. as well as in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax changed from a $0.3 million loss for the prior year period to a $0.1 million gain for the current year period. The Partnership exited the new unit sales business during 2020, with final deliveries made in October 2020. The prior year loss includes $0.3 million of selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Revenues

Contract services revenues increased by $12.5 million, or 10.9%, in the current year period compared to the prior year period. The increase in revenues is due to an increase in activity levels resulting from strong oil and natural gas commodity prices and the economic recovery as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic diminishes. Compression fleet utilization and operating horsepower both increased in 2022 compared to the prior year. In addition, due to the improved market conditions, we implemented price increases in the second half of 2021 and in the first half of of 2022. Operating horsepower increased compared to the prior year period due to the deployment of new compressor units in the first half of 2022 and the redeployment of idle compressor units in late 2021 and throughout the first half of 2022.

Aftermarket services revenues increased $3.1 million, or 12.1%, during the current year period compared to the prior year period due to increased demand for compression parts and services resulting from an increase in activity levels by our customers. With the improvement in market conditions and the strong oil and gas commodity prices, customers have increased production of oil and gas which, in turn, increased the demand for parts and services needed to maintain their compression fleet.

Equipment rentals revenues increased $2.0 million or 39.5% during the current year period compared to the prior year quarter due to the addition of Spartan Treating revenues in the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership effective January 29, 2021. The prior year period only includes approximately 5 months of revenues compared to 6 months in the current year period. Additionally, the number of revenue-generating gas coolers increased in 2022 due to an increase in customer demand and higher activity levels.

Table of Contents

Equipment sales revenues increased $0.6 million, or 93.4%, during the current year period compared to the prior year period due to an increase in used unit sales.

Cost of revenues

Cost of compression and related services increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to an increase in revenues from higher activity levels. Cost of contract services as a percentage of contract services revenues increased from 48.6% during the prior year period to 50.8% during the current year period. The increase is primarily due to the effect of inflation resulting in increased costs in certain operating cost categories in 2022 including parts, field labor, and fluids costs.

Cost of equipment rentals increased during the current period due to the increase in the corresponding revenues. Additionally, to support the growth in the gas cooler rental business, equipment rental expense increased compared to the prior year period.

Cost of aftermarket services and cost of equipment sales increased during the current year consistent with increased revenues.

Depreciation and amortization

Selling, general, and administrative expense

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period due to an increase in salaries and wages and consulting services expenses, Additionally, the increase in expenses is due to non-recurring transaction costs incurred in 2022.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net, decreased $2.4 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to the redemption of our 7.25% Senior Notes in the fourth quarter 2021.

Other (income) expense, net

Other (income) expense, net, was $0.9 million of expense during the current year period, compared to $0.1 million of expense during the prior year period due to higher foreign currency losses, primarily from our operations in Mexico.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax changed from a $0.4 million loss for the prior year period to a $0.1 million gain for the current year period. The Partnership exited the new unit sales business during 2020, with final deliveries made in October 2020. The prior year loss includes $0.3 million of selling, general, and administrative expenses.

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, quarter-to-quarter, 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 for our field labor, repair and maintenance of our equipment, and for the fuel and other supplies consumed while providing our services. The costs of other materials consumed while performing our services, ad valorem taxes, other labor costs, truck maintenance, rent on storage facilities, vehicle leases and insurance expenses comprise the significant remainder of our operating expenses. Our operating expenses generally fluctuate with our level of activity.

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, 2022 and June 30, 2021 is provided within the Results of Operations sections above.

Adjusted EBITDA. We view Adjusted 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 (typically compared to the prior month, prior year period, and to budget). We define 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. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management to:

•assess our ability to generate available cash sufficient to make distributions to our common 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 those of our competitors; and

•determine our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.

The following table reconciles net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:

Free Cash Flow. We define Free Cash Flow as cash from operations 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 peers. The following table reconciles cash provided by operations, net, to Free Cash Flow for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(In Thousands)				(In Thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(10,201)	$	(5,810)	$	1,569	$	5,734
Capital expenditures, net of sales proceeds	(11,830)		(5,580)		(17,765)		(9,988)

Free cash flow	$	(22,031)	$	(11,390)	$	(16,196)	$	(4,254)

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 includes $26.1 million of revenues in excess of cash expenses offset by $24.6 million from working capital changes. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes $19.4 million of revenue in excess of cash expenses offset by $13.7 million from working capital changes.

Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled financial metrics of other entities, as other entities may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA or Free Cash Flow in the same manner as we do. Management compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable U.S. GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures, and incorporating this knowledge into management’s decision-making processes. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of cash 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.

Horsepower Utilization Rate of our Compressor Packages. We measure the horsepower utilization rate across our fleet of compressor packages as the amount of horsepower of compressor packages used to provide services as of a particular date, divided by the amount of horsepower of compressor packages in our services fleet as of such date. Management primarily uses this metric to determine our future need for additional compressor packages for our service fleet and to measure marketing effectiveness.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the total horsepower in our compression fleet, our total horsepower in service, and our horsepower utilization rate by each horsepower class of our compression fleet as of the dates shown.


	June 30,
	2022		2021
Horsepower
Total horsepower in fleet	1,198,356		1,181,485
Total horsepower in service	992,597		908,614

Horsepower utilization
Low-horsepower (0-100)	58.9	%	56.4	%
Medium-horsepower (101-1,000)	82.4	%	77.2	%
High-horsepower (1,001 and over)	88.2	%	81.3	%
Total horsepower utilization rate	82.8	%	76.9	%

The total horsepower utilization rate increased as of June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period due to an increase in customer activity levels. This was driven by a high commodity price environment for oil and gas and the continued recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and the energy sector. Market conditions improved in the current year resulting in an increase in total utilization of 5.9% compared to the utilization rate as of June 30, 2021, with meaningful gains in utilization in all horsepower categories. Operating horsepower increased by approximately 84,000 horsepower which includes the redeployment of previously idle horsepower and new high-horsepower compressors placed in service resulting from our growth capital investments.

Net Increases/Decreases in Compression Fleet Horsepower. We measure the net increase (or decrease) in our compression fleet horsepower during a given period by taking the difference between the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages added to the fleet during the period, less the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages removed from the fleet during the period. We measure the net increase (or decrease) in our compression fleet horsepower in service during a given period by taking the difference between the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages placed into service during the period, less the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages removed from service during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash requirements are for distributions, working capital requirements, debt service, normal operating expenses, and capital expenditures. Our potential sources of funds are our existing cash balances, cash generated from our operations, asset sales, and long-term and short-term borrowings, which we believe will be sufficient to meet our working capital and growth capital requirements during 2022. We have secured orders from key customers for high-horsepower and electric compressors which will drive our investment in growth capital and consume liquidity in 2022.

During the first half of 2022, oil and gas commodity prices remained strong resulting in an increase in activity levels by our customers and higher demand for our products and services. Although uncertainty remains, the outlook for the energy sector continues to be favorable. If oil and natural gas prices decrease from current levels, our businesses could be negatively impacted. Despite these uncertainties, we remain committed to a long-term growth strategy. Our near-term focus is to balance our investment in growth against our investment in maintaining our revenue-generating assets, while continuing to preserve and enhance liquidity through strategic operating and financial measures. We periodically evaluate engaging in strategic transactions and may consider divesting assets where our evaluation suggests such transactions are in the best interests of our business. We are subject to business and operational risks that could materially and adversely affect our cash flows and, when coupled with risks associated with current debt and equity market conditions, our ability or desire to issue securities. Please refer to Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” included in our 2021 Annual Report.

Capital expenditures in 2022 are expected to range from $55.0 million to $65.0 million. These capital expenditures include approximately $18.0 million to $22.0 million of maintenance capital expenditures and approximately $29.0 million to $33.0 million of capital expenditures primarily associated with the expansion of our large horsepower compression services fleet and $8.0 million to $10.0 million of capital expenditures related to investments in technology, primarily software and systems. The foregoing estimates are based on assumptions regarding our assessment of the oil and gas market.

Table of Contents

On July 19, 2022, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended June 30, 2022 of $0.01 per outstanding common unit. This distribution equates to a distribution of $0.04 per outstanding common unit on an annualized basis. This quarterly distribution will be paid on August 12, 2022 to each of the holders of common units of record as of the close of business on July 29, 2022.

Cash Flows

A summary of our sources (uses) of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	(In Thousands)
	2022		2021
Operating activities	$	1,569	$	5,734
Investing activities	(17,765)		(8,511)
Financing activities	17,944		(4,358)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $4.2 million compared to the prior year period. Our cash provided by operating activities is primarily generated from the provision of contract services.

Cash provided from our foreign operations is subject to various uncertainties, including the volatility associated with interruptions caused by customer budgetary decisions, uncertainties regarding the renewal of our existing customer contracts and other changes in contract arrangements, the timing of collection of our receivables, and the repatriation of cash generated by our international operations.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $10.5 million compared to the same period in 2021, driven by an increase in investments in growth capital. Maintenance capital expenditures decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The cost of fleet compression units sold was $0.6 million. Total capital expenditures for the current period include $8.6 million of maintenance capital expenditures.

The level of growth capital expenditures depends on our ability to redeploy existing fleet equipment and demand for compression services. If the demand for compression services increases or decreases, the amount of planned expenditures on growth and expansion will be adjusted. We continue to review all capital expenditure plans carefully in an effort to conserve cash and fund our liquidity needs.

Financing Activities

Distributions

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we distributed $2.8 million of cash distributions to our common unitholders and general partner.

Long-Term Debt

Credit Agreement

Our Credit Agreement provides for maximum credit commitments of $35.0 million and includes a $3.5 million reserve which results in reduced borrowing availability. As of June 30, 2022, we had $13.6 million balance outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $1.9 million in letters of credit against our Credit Agreement resulting in $10.6 million available to borrow. As of August 5, 2022, we had $2.8 million outstanding under our Credit Agreement and $1.7 million in letters of credit, resulting in $22.2 million of availability.

Table of Contents

Spartan Credit Agreement

The Spartan Credit Agreement provides for maximum credit commitments of $70.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, we had $60.0 million outstanding, no letters of credit and $7.3 million of availability. As of August 5, 2022, we had $59.0 million outstanding, no letters of credit, and $4.6 million of availability.

Leases

We have operating leases for some of our office space, warehouse space, operating locations, and machinery and equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 to 10 years. Some of our leases have options to extend for various periods, while some have termination options with prior notice of generally 30 days or six months.

Other Financing

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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 2021 Annual Report. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported. 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.

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements that may affect our consolidated financial statements, see Note 1 – “Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies, New Accounting Pronouncements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.

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.
