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 and Chile. 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 September 30, 2023, and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

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, 2022 and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023.

Segments

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

Significant Accounting Policies

    Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 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 nine-months ended September 30, 2023.

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.

Table of Contents
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, and Chile. 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 $47.2 million outstanding under our variable rate revolving credit facilities as of September 30, 2023 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 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, 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 $1.6 million and $2.4 million during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.9 million and $3.0 million during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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.

Table of Contents
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, gas coolers 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 gas coolers range from six months to two years.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for credit losses against gross trade accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of expected credit losses of the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current information, and forecasts of future economic conditions. In developing the estimate for expected credit losses, trade accounts receivables are segmented into pools of assets depending on market (U.S. versus international), delinquency status, and customer type, and fixed reserve percentages are established for each pool of trade accounts receivables.

In determining the reserve percentages for each pool of trade accounts receivables, we considered our historical experience with certain customers and customer types, regulatory and legal environments, country and political risk, and other relevant current and future forecasted macroeconomic factors. These credit risk indicators are monitored on a quarterly basis to determine whether there have been any changes in the economic environment that would indicate the established reserve percentages should be adjusted and are considered on a regional basis to reflect more geographic-specific metrics. Additionally, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables are tracked against collections on a quarterly basis to determine whether the reserve percentages remain appropriate. When management becomes aware of certain customer-specific factors that impact credit risk, specific allowances for these known troubled accounts are recorded. Trade accounts receivable are written off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount (including litigation, where appropriate) have been exhausted. As of September 30, 2023, additions to the allowance for credit losses, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Inventories
 
Inventories consist primarily of compressor package spare parts and supplies and work in process, and cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of work in progress is determined using the specific identification method.

Table of Contents

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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 a specific engine in inventory was impaired and sold at a loss, resulting in a charge of $0.1 million.

Sale of Assets

During June 2023, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of our equipment in Egypt for a total sale price of $5.8 million. The sale of the equipment resulted in a loss of $0.2 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2023, which is reflected in other (income) expense, net in our statement of operations. As of June 30, 2023, we no longer had operations in Egypt.

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 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, all unvested phantom units were excluded from the calculation of diluted common units because the impact was anti-dilutive.

Table of Contents

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 7 – “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 19, 2023, April 17, 2023 and July 17, 2023, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the respective quarter ended 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 was paid on February 14, 2023, May 15, 2023, and August 14, 2023 to each of the holders of common units of record as of the close of business on January 31, 2023, April 30, 2023, and July 28, 2023, respectively.

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. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the warranty reserve not being utilized.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards adopted in 2023

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. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2023 and our adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.    
NOTE 2 — REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

    As of September 30, 2023, we had $269.1 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

NOTE 4 — LEASES
Lessee Accounting

    We have operating leases for some of our office space, warehouse space, operating locations, and machinery and equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms up to ten 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. Our leases generally require us to pay all maintenance and insurance costs. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

    Lease costs are included in either cost of revenues or selling, general, and administrative expense depending on the use of the underlying asset. Total lease expense (inclusive of lease expense for leases not included on our consolidated balance sheet based on our accounting policy election to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less), was $4.0 million and $12.0 million for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2023, respectively, of which $0.5 million and $1.1 million respectively, related to short-term leases. Total lease expense was $3.9 million and $12.2 million for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2022, respectively, of which $0.8 million and $3.5 million respectively, related to short-term leases. Variable rent expense was not material.

Lessor Accounting

Our leased equipment primarily consists of amine plants, gas coolers, 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:

NOTE 6 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Spartan and General Partner Ownership

As of September 30, 2023, Spartan’s ownership interest in us was approximately 45.2%, with the common units held by the public representing an approximate 55% interest in us. As of September 30, 2023, Spartan’s ownership was through various wholly owned subsidiaries and consisted of approximately 44.9% 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 $1.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

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.
NOTE 7 — 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.

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 September 30, 2023, we had the following foreign currency derivative contract outstanding relating to a portion of our foreign operations:
Derivative contractsUS Dollar Notional AmountTraded Exchange RateSettlement Date

Forward sale Mexican peso$2,316 17.2710/12/2023

Under a program designed to mitigate the currency exchange rate risk exposure on selected transactions of certain foreign subsidiaries, we may enter into similar derivative contracts from time to time. Although contracts pursuant to this program will serve as economic hedges of the cash flow of our currency exchange risk exposure, they will not be formally designated as hedge contracts or qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, any 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 we recognized $0.02 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of net (gains) losses associated with our foreign currency derivatives program. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, we recognized and $0.04 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of net (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 8 — 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
18

Table of Contents
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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were negative 37.9% and negative 16.1%, 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 9 — 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 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 19, 2023, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended September 30, 2023 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 November 14, 2023 to each of the holders of common units of record as of the close of business on October 30, 2023.
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, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023 (2022 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 4,500 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, 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.

Oil and natural gas commodity prices gained strength through the first half of 2022 before remaining relatively stable with a slight decline the remainder of 2022 and third quarter of 2023. West Texas Intermediate oil prices reached an average of $82 per barrel in the third quarter of 2023, a $11 per barrel decrease from the third quarter of 2022. Over this same time period, Henry Hub U.S. natural gas prices reached an average of $2.59 per million British thermal units, a $5.44 decrease from the third quarter of 2022. While there has been a decline in
19

Table of Contents
commodity prices, they remain at strong levels. Accordingly, we did not have a negative impact in the demand for our contract services, aftermarket services and equipment rentals. Our compression fleet utilization increased to 87.6% as of September 30, 2023 compared to 85.1% as of September 30, 2022. In addition, as a result of the increased customer demand, we were able to implement price increases on many of our compression contracts. Revenue from contract services increased each quarter in 2023 and this trend continues. The strengthening market environment has increased competition for field and corporate employees. Supply chain issues, increased commodity prices, and inflationary pressures have increased costs and impacted the availability of our parts and supplies. External factors including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, recent events in the Middle East, inflationary pressures, and related monetary policy, such as Federal Reserve rate increases, 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. 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.

Table of Contents
Revenues
 
    Contract services revenues increased $4.0 million or 5.9%, in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues is due to an increase in activity levels. Compression fleet horsepower utilization and operating horsepower both increased in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year quarter. In addition, due to the improved market conditions, we implemented price increases, while extending contract terms to protect against inflation. Operating horsepower increased compared to the prior year quarter due to the deployment of new compressor units in 2023 and the redeployment of idle compressor units throughout 2023.

    Aftermarket services revenues increased $0.5 million or 2.1% during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to increased demand for compression parts and services resulting from an increase in activity levels by our customers. With the stabilization 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 $0.3 million or 8.5% during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to an increase in the number of revenue-generating gas coolers, an increase in customer demand, and higher activity levels.
    
Equipment sales revenues remained consistent during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

Cost of revenues
 
    Cost of contract services revenue increased compared to the prior year quarter consistent with increased revenues. This increase is primarily due to inflationary pressures which have resulted in increased costs in certain operating cost categories including parts, field labor, and outside service costs.

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

Cost of equipment rentals remained consistent during the current quarter despite an increase in the corresponding revenues due to rate increases. 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 despite consistent revenues due to selling aged units with remaining book values.

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 increased salaries and wages and other sales expenses.

increased investment income primarily from our operations in Mexico and Argentina and increased foreign currency gains offset by losses on the disposals of assets.

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 28.3% 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.

Income (Loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax was $0.1 million gain from the prior year quarter related to the warranty reserve not being utilized. The Partnership exited the new unit sales business during 2020, with final deliveries made in October 2020.

Revenues
 
    Contract services revenues increased by $17.0 million, or 8.7%, in the current year period compared to the prior year period due to an increase in activity levels. Compression fleet utilization and operating horsepower both increased in 2023 compared to the prior year. In addition, due to the improved market conditions, we implemented price increases, while extending contract terms to protect against inflation resulting in increased revenues. Operating horsepower increased compared to the prior year period due to the deployment of new compressor units in 2023 and the redeployment of idle compressor units throughout 2023.

    Aftermarket services revenues increased $10.0 million, or 19.1%, 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 $2.1 million or 19.1% during the current year period compared to the prior year quarter due to an increase in the number of revenue-generating gas coolers, an increase in customer demand, and higher activity levels.

Table of Contents
    Equipment sales revenues decreased $0.6 million or 40.7% during the current year period compared to the prior year period due to a decrease in used unit sales.

Cost of revenues
 
    Cost of contract services increased compared to the prior year period consistent with increased revenues. The increase is primarily due to the effect of inflation which have resulted in increased costs in certain operating cost categories including parts, field labor, and outside service costs.

Cost of aftermarket services increased during the current year consistent with increased revenues.

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 equipment sales increased during the current year as a result of selling aged units with remaining book values.

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 decreased compared to the prior year due to long-lived asset disposals that reduced the amount of our assets subject to depreciation.

Selling, general, and administrative expense
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period due to increased salaries and wages and other sales expenses offset by decreased consulting services expenses.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net, increased $2.9 million compared to the prior year period due primarily to the increased expenses associated with the balances associated with our credit agreements.
 
Other (income) expense, net
 
Other (income) expense, net, was $1.1 million of expense during the current year period, compared to $2.5 million of expense during the prior year period was driven by increased investment income primarily from our operations in Mexico and Argentina and foreign currency gains offset by losses on the disposals of assets.

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.

Income (Loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax was $0.2 million gain for the prior year related to the warranty reserve not being utilized. The Partnership exited the new unit sales business during 2020, with final deliveries made in October 2020.
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 management to investigate the cause of these trends and put corrective measures in place where possible. The most significant portions of our operating expenses are for our field labor, repair and maintenance of our equipment, and fluids cost. The costs of other materials consumed while performing our services, other labor costs, vehicle leases and maintenance cost, rent on facilities 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 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 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 net cash provided by operations to Free Cash Flow for the periods indicated:

Free cash flow$22,949 $24,983 $25,620 $8,787 
    
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes $53.8 million of revenues in excess of cash expenses offset by $6.0 million from working capital changes. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes $42.4 million of revenue in excess of cash expenses offset by $1.5 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.

High-horsepower (1,001 and over)95.6 %91.8 %
Total horsepower utilization rate87.6 %85.1 %

The total horsepower utilization rate increased as of September 30, 2023 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 2.5% compared to the utilization rate as of September 30, 2022, with meaningful gains in utilization in all horsepower categories. Operating horsepower increased by approximately 4,800 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.
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 2023. 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 2023.

    During 2023, oil and gas commodity prices have decreased but remain at a robust level 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. Despite these uncertainties, we remain committed to a long-term growth strategy. Our near-term focus is to reduce our leverage, preserve and enhance liquidity, and grow our profitability 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 2022 Annual Report.

Table of Contents

Following the redeployment of our idle assets, meeting increased demand for our contract services will require ongoing capital expenditure investment, which could be significant. We will determine appropriate funding of future capital expenditures, along with potential acquisitions, on a case-by-case basis. Funding sources may include existing cash balances, cash flow generated from our operations, borrowing against our Credit Facilities, finance leases with third parties, and issuance of equity.
 
The level of future growth capital expenditures depends on demand for our contract services, the level of cash available to fund these expenditures and our decisions whether to utilize available cash to fund increases in our quarterly common unit distribution, retire debt, or make capital expenditures. Capital expenditures in 2023 are expected to range from $49.0 million to $54.0 million. These capital expenditures include approximately $20.0 million to $23.0 million of maintenance capital expenditures and approximately $26.0 million to $28.0 million of capital expenditures primarily associated with the expansion of our contract services fleet and $3.0 million to $4.0 million of capital expenditures related to investments in technology and facilities. The increase in capital expenditure guidance, when compared to the prior quarter, is offset by the redeployment of cash proceeds from the Egypt asset sale of $5.8 million. We expect cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet cash needs throughout 2023.

    On October 19, 2023, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended September 30, 2023 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 November 14, 2023 to each of the holders of common units of record as of the close of business on October 30, 2023.
Cash Flows

A summary of our sources (uses) of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In Thousands)
20232022
Operating activities$59,788 $43,964 
Investing activities(34,168)(35,177)
Financing activities(18,593)288 

Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $15.8 million compared to the prior year period. Our cash provided by operating activities is primarily generated from the provision of contract compression and treating services. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to changes in working capital, particularly related to collections of accounts receivable, and timing of payments of accounts payable.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 remained consistent compared to the same period in 2022. Maintenance capital expenditures increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. Total capital expenditures during 2023 were $39.9 million, offset by $0.9 million from compression units sold. Total capital expenditures for the current period include $16.4 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. Improved market conditions have provided opportunities with our customer base
28

Table of Contents
to provide new compression horsepower, resulting in increased growth capital. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, we distributed $4.3 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 September 30, 2023, we had no outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement and $1.4 million in letters of credit against our Credit Agreement resulting in $30.1 million available to borrow. As of October 30, 2023, we had $12.0 million outstanding under our Credit Agreement and $1.3 million in letters of credit, resulting in $18.2 million of availability.

Spartan Credit Agreement. The Spartan Credit Agreement provides for maximum credit commitments of $70.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, we had $47.2 million outstanding, no letters of credit and $22.6 million of availability. As of October 30, 2023, we had $46.6 million outstanding, no letters of credit, and $23.2 million of availability.

See Note 5 – “Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for further information regarding our 7.50% First Lien Notes due 2025 and 10.000%/10.750% Second Lien Notes due 2026.

Finance Agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into Master Finance Agreements with a third party in the amount of $16.6 million to finance certain compression equipment. The notes are payable in monthly installments totaling $0.5 million for 36 months. The current portion of this amount is classified in accrued liabilities and other and the long-term portion is classified in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

During the first quarter of 2023, CSI Compressco Leasing LLC and CSI Compressco Operating LLC (individually and collectively as Debtor), with CSI Compressco LP (as Guarantor), entered into a Master Equipment Finance Agreements with a third party totaling $5.1 million to finance certain compression equipment. The notes are payable in monthly installments totaling $0.2 million for 36 months. The current portion of these amounts are classified in accrued liabilities and other and the long-term portion is classified in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

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 up 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.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2023, 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 2022 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.

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 and Chile. 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 September 30, 2023, and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

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, 2022 and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023.

Segments

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

Significant Accounting Policies

    Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 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 nine-months ended September 30, 2023.

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, and Chile. 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 $47.2 million outstanding under our variable rate revolving credit facilities as of September 30, 2023 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 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, 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 $1.6 million and $2.4 million during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.9 million and $3.0 million during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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, gas coolers 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 gas coolers range from six months to two years.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for credit losses against gross trade accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of expected credit losses of the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current information, and forecasts of future economic conditions. In developing the estimate for expected credit losses, trade accounts receivables are segmented into pools of assets depending on market (U.S. versus international), delinquency status, and customer type, and fixed reserve percentages are established for each pool of trade accounts receivables.

In determining the reserve percentages for each pool of trade accounts receivables, we considered our historical experience with certain customers and customer types, regulatory and legal environments, country and political risk, and other relevant current and future forecasted macroeconomic factors. These credit risk indicators are monitored on a quarterly basis to determine whether there have been any changes in the economic environment that would indicate the established reserve percentages should be adjusted and are considered on a regional basis to reflect more geographic-specific metrics. Additionally, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables are tracked against collections on a quarterly basis to determine whether the reserve percentages remain appropriate. When management becomes aware of certain customer-specific factors that impact credit risk, specific allowances for these known troubled accounts are recorded. Trade accounts receivable are written off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount (including litigation, where appropriate) have been exhausted. As of September 30, 2023, additions to the allowance for credit losses, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Inventories
 
Inventories consist primarily of compressor package spare parts and supplies and work in process, and 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 a specific engine in inventory was impaired and sold at a loss, resulting in a charge of $0.1 million.

Sale of Assets

During June 2023, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of our equipment in Egypt for a total sale price of $5.8 million. The sale of the equipment resulted in a loss of $0.2 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2023, which is reflected in other (income) expense, net in our statement of operations. As of June 30, 2023, we no longer had operations in Egypt.

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 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, 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 7 – “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 19, 2023, April 17, 2023 and July 17, 2023, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the respective quarter ended 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 was paid on February 14, 2023, May 15, 2023, and August 14, 2023 to each of the holders of common units of record as of the close of business on January 31, 2023, April 30, 2023, and July 28, 2023, respectively.

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. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the warranty reserve not being utilized.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards adopted in 2023
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. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2023 and our adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

LEASES LEASES
Lessee Accounting

    We have operating leases for some of our office space, warehouse space, operating locations, and machinery and equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms up to ten 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. Our leases generally require us to pay all maintenance and insurance costs. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

    Lease costs are included in either cost of revenues or selling, general, and administrative expense depending on the use of the underlying asset. Total lease expense (inclusive of lease expense for leases not included on our consolidated balance sheet based on our accounting policy election to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less), was $4.0 million and $12.0 million for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2023, respectively, of which $0.5 million and $1.1 million respectively, related to short-term leases. Total lease expense was $3.9 million and $12.2 million for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2022, respectively, of which $0.8 million and $3.5 million respectively, related to short-term leases. Variable rent expense was not material.

Lessor Accounting

Our leased equipment primarily consists of amine plants, gas coolers, 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:

Our leased equipment primarily consists of amine plants, gas coolers, 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:

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 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.

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 September 30, 2023, we had the following foreign currency derivative contract outstanding relating to a portion of our foreign operations:

Under a program designed to mitigate the currency exchange rate risk exposure on selected transactions of certain foreign subsidiaries, we may enter into similar derivative contracts from time to time. Although contracts pursuant to this program will serve as economic hedges of the cash flow of our currency exchange risk exposure, they will not be formally designated as hedge contracts or qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, any 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 we recognized $0.02 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of net (gains) losses associated with our foreign currency derivatives program. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, we recognized and $0.04 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of net (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.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were negative 37.9% and negative 16.1%, 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.

In the opinion of our management, our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023, and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

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, 2022 and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023.

Use of Estimates
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 Cash EquivalentsWe 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

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, and Chile. 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.
Foreign Currencies
Foreign Currencies
 
We have designated the Canadian dollar as the functional currency for 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, and the Chilean peso as a result of our international operations.
Leases, Lessee
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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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.
Leases, Lessor
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, gas coolers 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 gas coolers range from six months to two years.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Allowance for Credit Losses

Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for credit losses against gross trade accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of expected credit losses of the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current information, and forecasts of future economic conditions. In developing the estimate for expected credit losses, trade accounts receivables are segmented into pools of assets depending on market (U.S. versus international), delinquency status, and customer type, and fixed reserve percentages are established for each pool of trade accounts receivables.

In determining the reserve percentages for each pool of trade accounts receivables, we considered our historical experience with certain customers and customer types, regulatory and legal environments, country and political risk, and other relevant current and future forecasted macroeconomic factors. These credit risk indicators are monitored on a quarterly basis to determine whether there have been any changes in the economic environment that would indicate the established reserve percentages should be adjusted and are considered on a regional basis to reflect more geographic-specific metrics. Additionally, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables are tracked against collections on a quarterly basis to determine whether the reserve percentages remain appropriate. When management becomes aware of certain customer-specific factors that impact credit risk, specific allowances for these known troubled accounts are recorded. Trade accounts receivable are written off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount (including litigation, where appropriate) have been exhausted. As of September 30, 2023, additions to the allowance for credit losses, write-offs and recoveries of customer receivables were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Inventories
Inventories
 
Inventories consist primarily of compressor package spare parts and supplies and work in process, and 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 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.
Sale of Assets Sale of AssetsDuring June 2023, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of our equipment in Egypt for a total sale price of $5.8 million. The sale of the equipment resulted in a loss of $0.2 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2023, which is reflected in other (income) expense, net in our statement of operations. As of June 30, 2023, we no longer had operations in Egypt.
Income Taxes
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
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 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, all unvested phantom units were excluded from the calculation of diluted common units because the impact was anti-dilutive.
Fair Value Measurements
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 7 – “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 DistributionsOn January 19, 2023, April 17, 2023 and July 17, 2023, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the respective quarter ended 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 was paid on February 14, 2023, May 15, 2023, and August 14, 2023 to each of the holders of common units of record as of the close of business on January 31, 2023, April 30, 2023, and July 28, 2023, respectively.
Discontinued Operations Discontinued OperationsOn 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.

Standards adopted in 2023
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. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2023 and our adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
