In the opinion of our management, our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020, and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and 2018,2019, 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 periods ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.2020.

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, 20182019 and notes thereto included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 4, 2019.16, 2020.

Significant Accounting Policies

We have addedOur significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the recording of leases in conjunction with the adoption of the new lease standard discussedyear ended December 31, 2019 included in our "Leases" and "New Accounting Pronouncements" sections below. Other than the additional lease policies described herein, thereAnnual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies or the application thereof during the first quarter of these policies.2020.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures ofdisclose 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.

ImpairmentsReclassifications

Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The impact of such reclassifications was not significant to the prior year's overall presentation.


Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid cash investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable, which are primarily due from customers of varying size engaged in oil and Other Charges    gas activities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina. Our policy is to review the financial condition of potential customers before extending credit and periodically update their 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.

During the second quarter of 2019, we recorded impairments of $2.3 million onWe have currency exchange rate risk exposure related to transactions denominated in a foreign currency as well as to investments in certain units of our low-horsepower compression fleet, reflecting our decision to disposeinternational operations. Our risk management activities include the use of these units upon management's determination that refurbishing this equipment was not economic given limited currentforeign currency forward purchase and forecasted demand for such equipment. A recoverability analysis was performed on the remaining low-horsepower fleet and we concluded that

the remaining fleet was recoverable from estimated future cash flows. During the third quarter of 2019, we recorded a charge of $0.8 million for the carrying valuesale derivative contracts as part of a certain compressor package that was written off dueprogram designed to being destroyed by fire.mitigate the currency exchange rate risk exposure on selected international operations.

We have a $3.0 million outstanding balance under our variable rate revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2020 and face market risk exposure related to changes in applicable interest rates.

Foreign Currencies
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is included in partners’ capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consists of the cumulative currency translation adjustments associated with our international operations. Foreign currency exchange (gains) and losses are included in other (income) expense, net and totaled $(0.5) million and $(1.5) million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $(0.4)$1.7 million and $(1.0) million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2020and March 31, 2019, respectively.

All of our long-term leases are operating leasesImpairments 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, 2019. 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, if it is reasonably certain that we would exercise the option.Other Charges

As an accounting policy election, we do not include short-term leases on our balance sheet.

As allowed by U.S. GAAP, we do not separate nonlease componentsbased on our judgment as to the future undiscounted operating cash flows to be generated from the associated lease component for our compression services contracts and instead account for those components as a single component based onrelevant assets throughout their remaining estimated useful lives. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the accounting treatmentcarrying amount of the predominant component. In our evaluationrelated assets, an impairment is recognized for the excess of whether Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 "Leases" or ASC 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"the carrying value over fair value.

See Note 3 - "Impairments and Other Charges" for additional discussion 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.recorded impairments.

Earnings Per Common Unit
 
Our computations of earnings per common unit are based on the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the applicable period. Basic earnings per common unit are determined by dividing net income (loss) allocated to the common units after deducting the amount allocated to our General Partner (including any distributions to our General Partner on its incentive distribution rights) by the weighted average number of outstanding common units during the period.
 
When computing earnings per common unit under the two class method in periods when distributions are greater than earnings, the amount of the distribution is deducted from net income (loss) and the excess of

distributions over earnings is allocated between the General Partner and common units based on how our Partnership Agreement allocates net losses.

 
Diluted earnings per common unit are computed using the treasury stock method, which considers the potential future issuance of limited partner common units. Unvested phantom units are not included in basic earnings per common unit, as they are not considered to be participating securities, but are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common unit. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, and September 30, 2018, all unvested phantom units were excluded from the calculation of diluted common units because the impact was anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per common unit are computed using the "if converted" method, whereby the amount of net income (loss) and the number of common units issuable are each adjusted as if the Preferred Units, discussed in Note D - "Series A Convertible Preferred Units", had been converted as of the beginning of the period presented. The calculation of diluted earnings per common unit for the three and nine month periodsperiod ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 excludes the impact of the Preferred Units, as the inclusion of the impact from the conversion of the Preferred Units into common units would have been anti-dilutive. All remaining outstanding Preferred Units were redeemed for cash on August 8, 2019.

Revenue Recognition

Performance Obligations. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Revenue is generally recognized when we transfer control of our products or services to our customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services to our customers. We receive cash equal to the invoice price for most product sales and services and payment terms typically range from 30 to 60 days from the date we invoice our customer. With the exception of the initial terms of our compression services contracts of our medium- and high-horsepower compressor packages, our customer contracts are generally for terms of one year or less. Since the period between when we deliver products or services and when the customer pays for products or services is not to exceed one year, we have elected not to calculate or disclose a financing component for our customer contracts.

Depending on the terms of the arrangement, we may also defer the recognition of revenue for a portion of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future performance obligation. For example, consideration received from customers during the fabrication of new compressor packages is typically deferred until control of the compressor package is transferred to our customer.

For revenue associated with mobilization of service equipment as part of a service contract arrangement, such revenue, if significant, is deferred and amortized over the estimated service period.

Compression and related services. For compression services revenues recognized over time, our customer contracts typically provide agreed upon monthly service rates and we recognize service revenue based upon the number of days that services have been performed. The majority of our compression services are provided pursuant to contract terms ranging from one month to twenty-four months. Monthly agreements are generally cancellable with 30 days written notice by the customer.

Sales taxes, value added taxes, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. We recognize the cost for freight and shipping costs when control over our products (i.e. delivery) has transferred to the customer as part of cost of product sales.

Use of Estimates. Our revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration, as our revenues typically do not require significant estimates or judgments. The transaction price on a majority of our arrangements are fixed and product returns are immaterial. Additionally, our arrangements typically do not include multiple performance obligations that require estimates of the stand-alone purchase price for each performance obligation. Revenue on certain aftermarket service arrangements that include time as a component of the transaction price is not recognized until the performance obligation is complete.

Contract Assets and Liabilities. We consider contract assets to be trade accounts receivable when we have an unconditional right to consideration and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. In certain instances, particularly those requiring customer specific documentation prior to invoicing, our invoicing of the customer is delayed until certain documentation requirements are met. In those cases, we recognize a contract asset rather than a billed trade accounts receivable until we are able to invoice the customer. Contract assets, along with billed trade accounts receivable, are included in trade accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets.

We classify contract liabilities as unearned income in our consolidated balance sheets. Such unearned income typically results from advance payments received on orders for new compressor equipment prior to the time such equipment is completed and transferred to the customer in accordance with the customer contract. New equipment sales orders generally take less than twelve months to build and deliver.

Bill-and-Hold Arrangements. We design compressor packages based on our customer’s specifications.In some cases, the customer will request us to hold the equipment, upon completion of the unit, until the job site is ready to receive the equipment. When this occurs, we along with the customer sign a bill-and-hold agreement, which outlines that the customer has title to the equipment, the equipment is ready for delivery, we cannot use the equipment or direct it to another customer, and we have a present right to payment. When those criteria have been met and the agreement is executed, we recognize the revenue on the equipment because control of the equipment has passed to our customer and our performance obligations are complete. Entering into these arrangements is something we have done as a courtesy for certain customers for many years. The equipment subject to the bill-and-hold agreements have generally been invoiced and paid for through progressive billings such that at the time the bill-and-hold agreement is executed, the majority of the contractual cash obligation of the customer has been received by us.

Fair Value Measurements

We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements were utilized in the determination of the carrying value of our Series A Preferred Units (a Level 3 fair value measurement). We also utilize fair value measurements on a recurring basis in the accounting for our foreign currency forward purchase and sale derivative contracts. For these fair value measurements, we utilize the quoted value (a Level 2 fair value measurement). Refer to Note 9 - "Fair Value Measurements" for further discussion.
Fair value measurements are also utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as in the allocation of purchase consideration for acquisition transactions to the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets (a Level 3 fair value measurement) and for the impairment of long-lived assets (a Level 3 fair value measurement).

Distributions

On January 22, 2019,20, 2020, our General Partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended December 31, 2018 of $0.01 per common unit. This distribution equates to a distribution of $0.04 per outstanding common unit on an annualized basis. Also on January 22, 2019, our General Partner approved the paid in kind distribution of 85,565 Preferred Units attributable to the quarter ended December 31, 2018 in accordance with the provisions of our partnership agreement, as amended.

On April 18, 2019, our General Partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended March 31, 2019 of $0.01 per common unit. This distribution equates to a distribution of $0.04 per outstanding common unit on an annualized basis. Also on April 18, 2019, our General Partner approved the paid in kind distribution of 59,953 Preferred Units attributable to the quarter ended March 31, 2019 in accordance with the provisions of our partnership agreement, as amended.

This distribution was paid on AugustFebruary 14, 2019,2020, to each of the holders of common units of record as of the close of business on AugustFebruary 1, 2019. Also on July 19, 2019, our General Partner approved the paid in kind distribution of 32,872 Preferred Units attributable to the quarter ended June 30, 2019 in accordance with the provisions of our partnership agreement, as amended. The final cash payment made in lieu of paid in kind units occurred on August 8, 2019.2020.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards adopted in 20192020

In February 2016,August 2018, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)2018-15, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." to increase comparability and transparency among different organizations. Organizations are required to recognize right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilitiesASU 2018-15 clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2018-15 is effective for us the balance sheet related to the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. In addition, through improved disclosure requirements, ASC 842 will enable usersfirst quarter of financial statements to further understand the amount, timing, and uncertaintyfiscal 2020. The adoption of cash flows arising from leases. We adopted thethis standard effective January 1, 2019. The standard haddid not have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, specifically, the reporting of our operating leases.

We chose to transition using a modified retrospective approach which allows for the recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented. Comparative information is reported under the accounting standards that were in effect for those periods. In addition, upon transition, we elected the package of practical expedients, which allows us to continue to apply historical lease classifications to existing contracts. Upon adoption, we recognized $8.3 million in operating right-of-use assets, $3.5 million in accrued liabilities, and $4.8 million in operating lease liabilities. Refer to Note J - “Leases” for further information on our leases.


In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)" that gives entities the option to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. This was effective for us on January 1, 2019, however, as we do not have associated tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income, there was no impact.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” to align the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance currently applied to employees, with certain exceptions. We adopted this ASU during the three months ended March 31, 2019, with no material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
     
Standards not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses on financial instruments not accounted for at fair value through net income. The provisions require credit impairments to be measured over the contractual life of an asset and developed with consideration for past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic information. Credit impairmentimpairments will be accounted for as an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis at each reporting date. We are continuing to work through our implementation plan which includes evaluating the impact on our allowance for doubtful accounts methodology, identifying new reporting requirements, and implementing changes to business processes, systems, and controls to support adoption of the standard. Upon adoption, the allowance for doubtful accounts is expected to increase with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. Updates at each reporting date after initial adoption will be recorded through selling, general, and

administrative expense. ASU 2016-13 has anis effective date offor us the first quarter of fiscal 2020.2023. We continue to assess the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.    

In August 2018,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Customer’sSimplifying the Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.Income Taxes." ASU 2018-152019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to intraperiod tax allocation, interim period income tax calculation methodology, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also simplifies certain aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and clarifies the accounting for implementation coststransactions that results in cloud computing arrangements.a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill.

We are currently assessingcontinue to assess the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

As of March 31, 2020, we had $56.7 million of remaining contractual performance obligations for compression services. As a practical expedient, this amount does not include revenue for compression service contracts whose original expected duration is less than twelve months and does not consider the effects of the time value of money. Expected revenue to be recognized in the future as of March 31, 2020 for completion of performance obligations of compression service contracts are as follows:

NOTE B3 –IMPAIRMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES

Impairments of Long-Lived Assets

During the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and decline in oil prices had a significant impact on our customers and industry. We started to see our customers revise their capital budgets downwards and adjust their operations accordingly, which led to a decline in orders for new compression equipment to be fabricated and sold to third parties. We concluded that these events were indicators of impairment for all our asset groups. As a result, we performed a recoverability analysis on all our long-lived asset groups and we determined that the carrying values of our Midland manufacturing facility and related new unit sales inventory exceeded their respective fair values. Therefore, we recorded impairments of approximately $5.4 million during the first quarter of 2020 related to these assets. Fair value was estimated based on a market approach. Our recoverability analysis for all our compression services asset groups indicated no impairments as of March 31, 2020. Given the dynamic nature of the events beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we are not able to reasonably estimate how long our operations will be impacted and the full extent these events will have on our operations. As a result, we could have indicators of impairment again in future periods resulting in additional asset impairments.

NOTE 5 – LEASES

We have operating leases for some of our office space, warehouse space, operating locations, and machinery and equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 to 10 years. Some of our leases have options to extend for various periods, while some have termination options with prior notice of generally 30 days or six months. Our leases generally require us to pay all maintenance and insurance costs. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we entered into a lease agreement commitment for 14 compressor packages. The leases are for an initial term of seven years and commence upon the completion of the fabrication of the compressor packages. During the first quarter, we took delivery of eight compressor packages. We anticipate taking delivery of the remaining six compressor packages when the compression units are completed, which is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2020. We have no other lease agreement commitments that have not yet commenced that create significant rights and obligations. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

In November 2019, we entered into a sale and leaseback transaction with a third-party lessor whereby we received $9.8 million of proceeds from the sale of certain of our compression equipment in service and entered into an associated lease of the same equipment having an initial lease term of seven years.

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 $3.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, of which, $0.9 million related to short-term leases. Variable rent expense was not material.

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 contracts 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). The fair values of our foreign currency derivative contracts as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, are as follows:

The fair values of our long-term 7.50% Senior Secured Notes at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were approximately $344.8 million and $332.5 million, respectively. These fair values compare to an aggregate principal amount of such notes at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 of $350.0 million. We based the fair values of our 7.25% Senior Notes and our 7.50% Senior Secured Notes as of September 30, 2019 on recent trades for these notes.
NOTE F7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Omnibus Agreement
 
Under the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, our General Partner provides all personnel and services reasonably necessary to manage our operations and conduct our business (other than in Mexico, Canada, and Argentina), and certain of TETRA’s Latin American-based subsidiaries provide personnel and services necessary for

the conduct of certain of our Latin American-based businesses. In addition, under the Omnibus Agreement, TETRA provides certain corporate and general and administrative services as requested by our General Partner, including, without limitation, legal, accounting and financial reporting, treasury, insurance administration, claims processing and risk management, health, safety and environmental, information technology, human resources, credit, payroll, internal audit, and tax services. Pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, we reimburse our General Partner and TETRA for services they provide to us.

TETRA and General Partner Ownership

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, TETRA's ownership interest in us was approximately 34% of the outstanding common units and an approximatelyapproximate 1.4% general partner interest, through which it holds incentive distribution rights.

Other Sources of Financing

In February 2019, we entered into a transaction with TETRA whereby TETRA agreed to fund the construction of and purchase from us up to $15.0 million of new compressorcompression services equipment and to subsequently lease the equipment back to us in exchange for a monthly rental fee. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, pursuant to this arrangement, $14.6$14.8 million has been funded by TETRA for the construction of new compressorcompression services equipment.equipment and all such equipment was completed and deployed under this agreement. For accounting purposes, the inclusion of a repurchasean option that allowedallows us to repurchase the equipment at a fixed price during certain periods of the agreement caused the transaction to be accounted for as a financing transaction, as opposed to a sale-leaseback, resulting in the funded amount being recorded as a financing obligation. Accordingly, the compressorcompression services equipment is included in property, plant, and equipment and the corresponding financing obligations are included in amounts payable to affiliates and long-term affiliate payable in our consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the financing obligation was $15.1$14.6 million. Imputed

interest expense recognized for the three and nine month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively.$0.6 million.

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 proceedingsagainst us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does notconsider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that isexpectedtohave a material adverse effect on our financialcondition, results of operations,or cash flows. 
NOTE G9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined 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.

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 March 31, 2020, we had the following foreign currency derivative contract outstanding relating to a portion of our foreign operations:

During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded impairments of approximately $5.4 million, reflecting the decreased fair value for certain assets. The fair values used in these impairment calculations were estimated based on a market approach, which is based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
 
As a partnership, we are generally not subject to income taxes at the entity level because our income is included in the tax returns of our partners. Our operations are treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes with each partner being separately taxed on its share of taxable income. However, a portion of our business is conducted through taxable U.S. corporate subsidiaries. Accordingly, a U.S. federal and state income tax provision has been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. 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 ninethree month period ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, was negative 21.0%1.6% 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. In addition, the application of ASC 740-270 "Income Taxes - Interim Reporting," resulted in an accrual of current income taxes for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 equal to approximately the full year estimate. 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 I – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Performance Obligations.Revenue is generally recognized when we transfer control of our products or services to our customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services to our customers. We receive cash equal to the invoice price for most product sales and services and payment terms typically range from 30 to 60 days from the date we invoice our customer. With the exceptionresult of the initial terms of our compression services contracts of our medium-decision to close this facility and high-horsepower compressor packages, our customer contracts are generally for terms of one year or less. Since the period between when we deliver products or services and when the customer pays for such products or services is not expected to exceed one year, we have elected not to calculate or disclose a financing component for our customer contracts.

Depending on the terms of the arrangement, we may also defer the recognition of revenue for a portion of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future performance obligation. For example, consideration

received from customers during the fabrication of new compressor packages is typically deferred until control of the compressor package is transferred to our customer.

For revenue associated with mobilization of service equipment as part of a service contract arrangement, such revenue, if significant, is deferred and amortized over the estimated service period.

Compression and related services. For compression services revenues recognized over time, our customer contracts typically provide agreed upon monthly service rates and we recognize service revenue based upon the number of days that services have been performed.

As of September 30, 2019, we had $69.9 million of remaining contractual performance obligations for compression services. As a practical expedient, this amount does not reflect revenue for compression service contracts whose original expected duration is less than twelve months and does not consider the effects of the time value of money. Expected revenue to be recognizedsolely utilize third party fabricators in the future for our own service fleet, we are pursuing the sale of the Midland facility in an effort to further improve our balance sheet, and have entered into an agreement with a third party purchaser, which is subject to numerous conditions. While we will continue to operate the facility until the completion of performance obligations of compression service contracts are as follows:

 $69,925


Sales taxes, value added taxes, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. We recognize the cost for freight and shipping costs when control over our products (i.e. delivery) has transferred to the customer as part of cost of product sales.

Use of Estimates.Our revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration, as our revenues typically do not require significant estimates or judgments. The transaction price on a majoritysale of our arrangements are fixedremaining backlog, we no longer intend to fabricate new compressor packages for sales to third parties. We have and product returns are immaterial. Additionally,will continue to evaluate the sale of other non-core assets, including our arrangements typically do not include multiple performance obligationslow-horsepower compression fleet. We can provide no assurance that require estimateswe will consummate a sale of the stand-alone purchase price for each performance obligation. Revenue on certain aftermarket service arrangements that include time as a component of the transaction price is not recognized until the performance obligation is complete.

Contract Assets and Liabilities.We consider contract assets to be trade accounts receivable when we have an unconditional right to consideration and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. In certain instances, particularly those requiring customer specific documentation prior to invoicing,Midland manufacturing facility, our invoicing of the customer is delayed until certain documentation requirements are met. In those cases, we recognize a contract asset rather than a billed trade accounts receivable until we are able to invoice the customer. Our contract asset balances, primarily associated with these documentation requirements, were $9.4 million and $5.9 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Contract assets, along with billed trade accounts receivable, are included in trade accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets.

We classify contract liabilities as unearned income in our consolidated balance sheets. Such unearned income typically results from advance payments received on orders for new compressor equipment prior to the time such equipment is completed and transferred to the customer in accordance with the customer contract. New equipment sales orders generally take less than twelve months to build and deliver.

The following table reflects changes in our contract liabilities for the periods indicated:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized in product sales revenue of $14.7 million from unearned income that was deferred as of our adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018.

NOTE J – LEASES

We have operating leases for some of our office space, warehouse space, operating locations, and machinery and equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 to 10 years. Some of our leases have options to extend for various periods, while some have termination options with prior notice of generally 30 dayslow-horsepower compression fleet, or six months. Our leases generally require us to pay all maintenance and insurance costs. We do not have leases that have not yet commenced that create significant rights and obligations. 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 underlyingother non-core asset. Components of 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), were $1.9 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively, of which, $0.4 million and $1.4 million respectively, related to short-term leases. Variable rent expense was not material.

On April 17, 2020, we announced the commencement of an offer (the "Exchange Offer") to certain eligible noteholders ("Eligible Holders") to exchange any and all of their outstanding 7.25% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Unsecured Notes”) for newly issued 7.50% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2025 and 7.25% Senior Secured

Second Lien Notes due 2027. In conjunction with the offer, consents are being solicited from Eligible Holders to eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions in the indenture governing the Unsecured Notes.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report. In addition, the following discussion and analysis also should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 filed with the SEC on March 4, 201916, 2020 ("20182019 Annual Report"). This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties.
Business Overview
    
We provide compression services and equipment for natural gas and oil production, gathering, transportation,artificial lift, transmission, processing, and storage. Our compression and related services business includes a fleet of more than 5,3005,200 compressor packages providing approximately 1.161.2 million capacity in aggregate horsepower, utilizing a full spectrum of low-, medium-, and high-horsepower engines. Our equipment sales business includes the fabricationdesign, and sale of both standard compressor packages and custom-designed, engineered compressor packages. Our aftermarket business provides compressor package 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 foreign locations, including the countries includingof Mexico, Canada and Argentina. We design and fabricate a majority of the compressor packages that we use to provide compression services and sell to customers. Going forward, we plan to have such compressor packages fabricated through one or more third party packagers.
    
The constructionOur operations are significantly dependent upon the demand for, and production of, infrastructure to alleviate current takeaway capacity constraints that are limitingoil and the associated natural gas from unconventional oil and natural gas production and new drilling in the Permian Basin hasdomestic and international markets in which we operate. During the first part of the first quarter, we continued to contribute tosee increased demand for our products and services, with the exception of a declining backlog for new unit sales. However, during the latter part of the quarter, as the macroeconomic uncertainty resulting from declining oil and natural gas prices and the COVID-19 pandemic continued and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil producing nations (collectively, “OPEC+”) price war events, we started to see our customers revise their capital budgets substantially downward and adjust their operations accordingly which we believe will continue for an indefinite period. In response to both market uncertainty and the lower levels of spending by our customers, we withdrew our previously issued guidance for the full year 2020 and lowered our projected growth and maintenance capital expenditures. In addition, given the decline in orders for new compression equipment to be fabricated and sold to third parties, we announced our plan to shut down our Midland manufacturing facility in early April. We have retained our new equipment design and engineering personnel and plan to outsource the fabrication of new service fleet equipment but no longer plan to fabricate new compressor packages for sales to third parties. Due to excess compression equipment in the industry, we have started to and services. This growth in demand continuesexpect to drive increases in our compression services revenues, through increased activity and customer contract pricing. This has resulted in increasedcontinue to see lower utilization of our compression equipment fleet, requests from our customers for stand-by service rates, and service pricing pressures as customers try to reduce their costs. We expect a significant decline in activity, particularly in North America, coupled with over 1.0 million horsepowerdownward pricing pressure and corresponding reductions in revenue and profitability for the remainder of 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic and decline in oil prices had a significant impact on our customers and industry. We concluded that these events were indicators of impairment for all our asset groups. As a result, we performed a recoverability analysis on all our long-lived asset groups and we determined that the carrying values of our Midland manufacturing facility and related new unit sales inventory exceeded their respective fair values. Therefore, we recorded impairments of approximately $5.4 million during the first quarter of 2020 related to these assets. Our recoverability analysis for all our compression equipment in serviceservices asset groups indicated no impairments as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020. Given the dynamic nature of the events beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we are not able to reasonably estimate how long our operations will be impacted and with overall utilization being the highest since the acquisitionfull extent these events will have on our operations. As a result, we could have indicators of Compressor Systems, Inc. ("CSI")impairment again in 2014. As overall industry utilization of high-horsepower compressor equipment approaches maximum levels, customer demand for aftermarket services and parts has increased for maintenance and overhaul of customer-owned compression fleets.future periods resulting in additional asset impairments.

GivenWe are continuing to monitor the current high demand for compression services and the high utilization2020 spending plans of our compression equipment fleet, we continue to focus oncustomers and are aggressively managing our ability to appropriately expandworking capital and maintain our compression equipment fleetcapital expenditures in order to servemaximize our customers. To fundliquidity in the growthcurrent oil and gas industry environment. As obtaining additional financing is challenging in the current debt and equity markets, capital expenditures are expected to expand our compression equipment fleet, during 2019 we supplementedbe primarily funded by available cash and operating cash flowsexpected to be provided by operating

activities. We plan to manage our flexible cost structure to proactively respond to changing market conditions and take actions necessary to manage through these conditions, some of which could result in impairments or restructuring charges in future periods.

Cost reductions we have recently implemented or are in the process of implementing include reductions in 2020 capital expenditures, workforce reductions, salary reductions, a reduction in the cash retainers for the directors of our general partner, the suspension of 401(k) matching contributions for our employees, targeted reduction in SG&A expenses, and negotiated reductions in expenditures with many of our February 2019 agreement with TETRA, which provided fundingsuppliers. Absent a meaningful recovery in oil and natural gas prices and a material improvement in demand for additional compressor equipmentoil and gas, we expect our operations to add 20,700 of horsepower to our fleet by the end of 2019. While the current industry market for traditional debt and equity financing is difficult, we continue to review other financing options availablebe negatively impacted, particularly in our onshore producing regions of the United States. We are not able to fundpredict how long market disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and oversupply of oil and gas will continue, or what impact they will ultimately have on our growth.business. Despite that, we will continue to maintain our commitment to safety and service quality for our customers.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
 
Operating Expenses. We use operating expenses as a performance measure for our business. We track our operating expenses using month-to-month, quarter-to-quarter, year-to-date, and year-to-year comparisons and as compared to budget. This analysis is useful in identifying adverse cost trends and allows us to investigate the cause of these trends and implement remedial measures if possible. The most significant portions of our operating expenses are for our field labor, repair and maintenance of our equipment, and for the fuel and other supplies consumed while providing our services. The costs of other materials consumed while performing our services, ad valorem taxes, other labor costs, truck maintenance, rent on storage facilities, 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 and fabrication personnel, as well as expenses related to their training and safety. Additional information regarding our operating expenses for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, is provided within the Results of Operations sections below.

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 non-cash charges, consisting ofincluding impairments, bad debt expense attributable to

bankruptcy of customer, equity compensation, non-cash costs of compressors sold, fair value adjustments of our Preferred Units that were issued in late 2016 and redeemed for cash on August 8, 2019, gain on extinguishment of debt, write-off of unamortized financing costs, and excluding Series A Preferred Units redemption premiums,premium, severance and severance.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.

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

The utilization figures for September 30, 2019 above reflect the impairment of certain low-horsepower class compressor packages and removal of 20,286 horsepower from the compression fleet during the second quarter of 2019. Through new equipment fabrication, we added 18,540 and 70,92322,160 of horsepower to our fleet during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

March 31, 2020.
Net Increases/Decreases in Compression Fleet Horsepower. We measure the net increase (or decrease) in our compression fleet horsepower during a given period by taking the difference between the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages added to the fleet during the period, less the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages removed from the fleet during the period. We measure the net increase (or decrease) in our compression fleet horsepower in service during a given period by taking the difference between the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages placed into service during the period, less the aggregate horsepower of compressor packages removed from service during the period.
New Equipment Sales Backlog. Our new equipment sales business includes the engineering, design, fabrication, assembly, project management, and sale of both standard and custom-designed compressor packages primarilyfabricated at authorized packaging facilities in Texas. We recently announced our plan to shutdown our Midland manufacturing facility as a result of a decline in orders for new equipment from third parties, in addition to our expectation that no incremental equipment will be fabricated for our fleet in the second half of 2020. We have entered into an agreement for the sale of the Midland Texas. The equipmentfacility, which is fabricatedsubject to customernumerous conditions. Going forward, we plan to continue to design and standard specifications, as applicable. Our customengineer compressor packages for our own service fleet while outsourcing the fabrication projects are typically greater in size and scope than standard fabrication projects, requiring more labor, materials, and overhead resources. Our fabricationof our service fleet to third parties with whom we have existing business requires diligent planning of those resources and project and backlog management in order to meet the customer delivery dates and performance criteria.relationships. New equipment sales backlog was $62.9$30.3 million as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to $105.2$35.5 million as of December 31, 2018.2019. Changes in our new equipment sales backlog are a function of additional customer orders less completed orders that result in equipment sales revenues for the period. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31,

2020, we received cumulative orders of $59.3$2.0 million for new compressor packages. The majority ofequipment. All our September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 new equipment sales backlog is expected to be recognized during the second quarter of 2020. Our new equipment sales backlog consists of firm customer orders for which a purchase or work order has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist, and target delivery hasdates have been scheduled. Ourestablished based on customer requirements. Following sale of the new equipment orders in our current backlog, we do not plan to design, engineer and sell compressor packages to third parties and the new equipment sales backlog isbusiness will not constitute a measurematerial part of marketing effectiveness that allows us to plan future labor and raw material needs and measure our success in winning bids from our customers.business.

Revenues
 
Compression and related services revenues increased $6.1by $2.7 million, a 10.3% increase,or 4.3%, in the current year quarterperiod compared to the prior year quarter. Growthperiod due to increases in demand for compression services positively impacted our compressionhigh-horsepower fleet utilization rates. The overall compression fleetduring 2019 and resulting increased horsepower utilization rate as of September 30, 2019 increased to 90.1%in service during the current year period compared to 86.3% asthe prior year period and pricing secured in 2019 that was realized during the first quarter of September 30, 2018. In addition, increased demand has led to improved customer contract pricing. In response to the overall improving demand for compression services, we continue to invest in growth capital projects to increase certain horsepower categories of our compression fleet.2020.


Aftermarket services revenues increased $0.6$4.4 million, or 32.0%, during the current year quarterperiod compared to the prior year quarterperiod resulting primarily from increased customer demand for aftermarket services and parts sales to existing customers.for maintenance and overhauls of customer-owned compressor equipment.

Equipment sales revenues decreased $8.2$20.2 million, or 75.5%, during the current year quarterperiod compared to the prior year quarter,period, primarily due to a decrease in deliveries of new compressors compared to the timingprior year. Overall, new unit sale booking levels declined in first quarter of when customer projects were completed.2020 as customers slowed down spending on infrastructure projects. The level of revenues from equipment sales is typically volatile and difficult to forecast, as these revenues are tied to specific customer projects that vary in scope, design, complexity, and customer needs.

Cost of revenues
 
The costCost of compression and related services revenue decreased, compared to the prior year quarter, despite the increased overall utilization of compressor packages. Cost of compression and related services as a percent of associated revenues decreased from 52.8% during the prior year quarter to 46.8% in the current year quarter due to improved customer contract pricing, labor efficiencies, and reduced maintenance costs.

Cost of aftermarket services increased during the current year quarter due to increased part sales that have slightly lower margins compared to other aftermarket services.

Cost of equipment sales revenues decreased consistentperiod, even with the decrease in associated revenues.

Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily consists of the depreciation of compressor packages in our service fleet. In addition,itincludes the depreciation of other operating equipment and facilities and the amortization of intangibles. Depreciation and amortization expense increased compared to the prior year quarter due to increases in the compression fleet.

Impairments and other charges

During the current quarter, we recorded a charge of $0.8 million due to a certain compressor package written off due to being destroyed by fire.

Selling, general, and administrative expense
Selling,general, and administrativeexpenses increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to increased bad debt expense of $1.5 million mainly associated with the bankruptcy of a single customer, partially offset by decreased employee expenses of $0.9 million.

Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net, decreased compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the conversion and redemption of the Preferred Units resulting in lower paid in kind distributions of Preferred Units during the current year quarter, and despite imputed interest on related party financing. Interest expense, net, during the current and prior year quarters also includes $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of non-cash finance cost amortization.

Series A Preferred fair value adjustment

All remaining outstanding Preferred Units were redeemed for cash on August 8, 2019.

Other (income) expense, net
Other (income) expense, net, was $0.2 million of income, net, during the current year quarter compared to $0.1 million of income, net, during the prior yearquarter.The increase in other income is primarily due tocorresponding revenues resulting from added horsepower and overall increased foreign currency gains of $0.5 million offset by $0.4 million of redemption premium incurred during the current year period in connection with the redemption of Preferred Units for cash.

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.

Revenues
Compression and related services revenues increased by $23.2 million, or 13.7%, in the current year period compared to the prior year period. Growth in demand for compression services positively impacted our compression fleet utilization rates. The overall compression fleet horsepower utilization rate as of September 30, 2019 increased to 90.1% compared to 86.3% as of September 30, 2018. In addition, increased demand has led to improved customer contract pricing for compression services. In response to the overall improving demand for compression services, we continue to invest in growth capital projects to increase certain horsepower categories of our compression fleet.

Aftermarket services revenues increased $3.2 million, or 6.6%, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. As overall industry utilization of high-horsepower compression approaches maximum levels, customer demand for aftermarket services and parts has increased for maintenance and overhauls of customer-owned compressor equipment.

Equipment sales revenues increased $26.0 million, or 31.6%, during the current year period compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased sales during the prior quarters in 2019. The level of revenues from equipment sales is typically volatile and difficult to forecast, as these revenues are tied to specific customer projects that vary in scope, design, complexity, and customer needs.

Cost of revenues
The increase in the cost of compression and related services revenues, compared to the prior year period, was negligible in light of our slight increase in horsepower and overall utilization of our compressor package fleet.

Cost of compression and related services as a percentage of compression and related services revenues decreased from 54.9%51.7% during the prior year period to 48.6%48.1% during the current year period due to improved customer contract pricing, higher margins on new compressor equipment, labor efficiencies, and reduced maintenance costs.

Cost of aftermarket services increased compared to the prior year period consistent with the increased activity and part sales.lower margins due to a highly competitive landscape.

Cost of equipment sales revenues increased as a result ofdecreased in accordance with the increasedecrease in associated revenues. Cost of equipment sales as a percentage of equipment sales revenues increased primarily due to pricing on equipment sales orders placed in 2018.2019.

Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily consists 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 increased compared to the prior year period due to increases in the compression fleet.

Impairments and other charges

During the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we recorded impairmentsan impairment of $2.3$5.4 million on certain units ofassociated with our GasJack(R) fleet, reflecting our decision to dispose of these units upon management's determination that refurbishing this equipment was not economic given limited currentMidland manufacturing facility and forecasted demand for such equipment. There were 441 GasJack units impaired, representing 20,286 of total horsepower. Following the impairment there remains in excess of 500 GasJack units currently unutilized and available for redeployment. In addition, a certain compressor package was written off due to being destroyed by fire, resulting in an additional charge of $0.8 million.related assets.

Selling, general, and administrative expense
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increaseddecreased during the current year period compared to the prior year period largely due to decreased employee expenses of $0.6 million and decreased other general expenses of $0.3 million. These decreases were offset by increased professional services of $0.4 million and increased bad debt expense of $1.5 million primarily associated with the bankruptcy of a single customer, increased employee expenses of $1.3 million, and increased professional services of $0.3 million. These increases were offset by decreased other general expenses of $0.2 million. Despite increaseddecreased expenses, as a percentage of revenues, selling, general, and administrative expense decreasedincreased due to increasedlower revenues compared to the prior year period.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net, increased compared to the prior year period due to higher outstanding debt balances and higher interest rates associated with the issuance of our 7.50% Senior Secured Notes in March 2018 and due to imputed interest on related party financing. This increase was despite the reduction in interest expense from the conversion and redemption of the Preferred Units resulting in lower paid in kind distributions compared to the prior year period. Interest expense, net, during the current and prior year periods includes $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of finance cost amortization and other non-cash charges.

Series A Preferred fair value adjustment

The Series A Preferred Units fair value adjustment was $1.5 million charged to earnings during the current year period compared to $1.5$1.3 million charged to earnings during the prior year period. All the remaining outstanding Preferred Units were redeemed for cash on August 8, 2019.
 
Other (income) expense, net
 
Other (income) expense, net, was $0.02$0.4 million of expense during the current year period, compared to $2.7$0.4 million of expenseincome during the prior year period. This decrease inThe change from income to expense is primarily due to $3.5$1.2 million of unamortized deferred financing costs charged to other expense as a result of the termination of the previous credit agreement in the prior year period and increased foreign currency gains of $0.6 million. These decreases in

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 ninethree month period ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, was negative 21.0%1.6% 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. In addition, the application of ASC 740-270 "Income Taxes - Interim Reporting," resulted in an accrual of current income taxes for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 equal to approximately the full year estimate. 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our primary cash requirements are for distributions, working capital requirements, debt service payments, normal operating expenses, and capital expenditures. Our potential sources of funds are our existing cash balances, cash generated from our operations, and long-term and short-term borrowings, sale-leaseback transactions, financing transactions with TETRA, and issuances of debt and equity securities, which we believe will be sufficient to meet our working capital and plannedreduced growth capital requirements during 2019. Though demand for compression services and equipment is currently high, we2020. We are monitoring the spending plans of our customers due to the macroeconomic uncertainties resulting from the recent substantial declines in prices of oil and natural gas price volatility and its impact onthe ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These uncertainties have negatively impacted our customer's demandcustomers' demands for our products and services.services, which has negatively impacted our businesses. If oil and gas prices remain at current levels or decrease further, our businesses could be further negatively impacted. In addition, current conditions in the market for debt and equity securities in the energy sector have increased the difficulty of obtaining equity and debt financing and we expect this to continue in the extent necessary to grow our business.near future. Despite these challenges, we remain committed to a long-term growth strategy. Our near-term focus is to maintain and selectively expand our compression fleet, to serve the growing demand for compression services, while continuing to preserve and enhance liquidity through strategic operating and financial measures.
We expectperiodically evaluate engaging in strategic transactions and may consider divesting non-core assets where our evaluation suggests such transactions are in the best interests of our business, such as the agreement we have entered into with a third party purchaser for the sale of the Midland facility, which is subject to fund any future capital expenditures, along with potential acquisitions, if any, with existing cash balances, cash flow generated from our operations, financing transactions with TETRA and funds received from the issuance of additional debt and equity securities.numerous conditions. We may also seek to expand our compression fleet through finance or operating leases with third parties. However, we are subject to business and operational risks that could materially adversely affect our cash flows and together with risks associated with current debt and equity market conditions, our ability or desire to issue such securities. Please read Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" included in our 20182019 Annual Report.
 
Meeting increased demand forWe have adjusted our compression services will requireongoingcapital expenditureinvestment, which could be significant. The level of future growth capital expenditures depends on demand for compression 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. We anticipateexpected capital expenditures in 20192020 to range from $65.0$28.0 million to $70.0$35.0 million. These capital expenditures include approximately $19.0$20.0 million to $21.0$22.0 million of maintenance capital expenditures and approximately $46$5.0 million to $49$8.0 million of capital expenditures primarily associated with the expansion of our compression services fleet. Wefleet, and $3.0 million to $5.0 million of capital expenditures related to investments in technology, primarily software and systems. The foregoing estimates are based on assumptions regarding the ongoing impact of the decline of oil and gas prices and the COVID-19 pandemic. While we will continue to monitor developments in the oil and gas industry, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect that the combination of cash on hand and operating cash flows expected to be generated during the remainder of the year will be sufficient to fund the remainder of these capital expenditures without having to incur additional long-term debt and without having to access the equity or debt and equity markets. In addition to these capital expenditures, pursuant to agreements executed in February 2019, TETRA agreed to fund the construction of and purchase up to $15.0 million of new compression services equipment and subsequently lease the equipment back to us in exchange for a monthly rental fee. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $14.6 million of the $15.0 million has been funded by TETRA for the construction of new compressor equipment and corresponding financing obligations are included in amounts payable to affiliates and long-term affiliate payable in

our consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2019, nine compression units were completed and deployed under this agreement. The remaining six units are expected to be completed and deployed in the fourth quarter of 2019.

On October 21, 2019,April 20, 2020, our General Partner declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 of $0.01 per outstanding common unit. This distribution equates to a distribution of $0.04 per outstanding common unit on an annualized basis. This quarterly distribution will be paid on November 14, 2019May 15, 2020 to each of the holders of common units of record as of the close of business on NovemberMay 1, 2019.2020.

Cash Flows

A summary of our sources (uses) of cash during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities increaseddecreased by $61.3$18.3 million compared to the prior year period. Our cash provided from operating activities is primarily generated from the provision of compression and related services and the sale of new compressor packages. The increasedecrease in cash provided by operating activities was due to increased cash earnings andprimarily due to working capital management,movements, particularly related to collections of accounts receivable, management of inventory levels, 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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, decreased by $17.7$16.7 million compared to the same period in 20182019 primarily due to the reduction in total capital expenditure plansexpenditures to grow and maintain the capacity of our compression fleet compared to the prior year. As a result of overall improving demand for compression services, beginning in late 2017 we began growth capital expenditure projects to increase certain horsepower categories of our compression fleet. Maintenance capital expenditures increased during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period. Total capital expenditures, net of disposals and proceeds, during the current year period of $60.5$6.5 million include $16.4$6.5 million of maintenance capital expenditures and are net of $3.8$1.8 million of non-cash cost of fleet compression units sold. sold and proceeds of $0.2 million from the sale of property, plant and equipment.

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

Financing Activities

Distributions
 
Beginning with the distribution to common unitholders during February 2019, we reduced our common unit distributions from $0.75 per unit per year (or $0.1875 per quarter) to $0.04 per unit per year (or $0.01 per quarter). We have used the cash savings from the reduced distribution to redeem the remaining Preferred Units for cash and avoid the further dilution to our common unitholders that would occur if the Preferred Units were converted into common units. Accordingly, duringDuring the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we distributed $1.4$0.5 million of cash distributions to our common unitholders and General Partner.

    
Series A Convertible Preferred Units.
In January 2019 we began redeeming Preferred Units for cash, resulting in 2,660,569 Preferred Units being redeemed during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 for $31.9$9.4 million, which includes approximately $1.5$0.4 million of redemption premium that was paid. The last redemption of the remaining Preferred Units, along with a final cash payment made in lieu of paid in kind units occurred on August 8, 2019 for an aggregate cash payment of $5.0 million.2019.


     Bank Credit Facilities. The Credit Agreement, as amended, includes a maximum credit commitment of $50.0 million available for loans, letters of credit (with a sublimit of $25.0 million) and swingline loans (with a sublimit of $5.0 million), subject to a borrowing base to be determined by reference to the value of the Partnership’s and any other Borrowers’ accounts receivable and certain inventory.inventory of the Partnership and certain subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”). Such maximum credit commitment may be increased by $25.0 million in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, and subject to compliance with the covenants, borrowing base, and other provisions of the agreements that may limit borrowings under the Credit Agreement, we had availability of $7.8$20.4 million.

The Borrowers may borrow funds under the Credit Agreement to pay fees and expenses related to the Credit Agreement and for the Borrower's ongoing working capital needs and for general partnership purposes. The revolving loans under the Credit Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to breakage or similar costs. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is June 29, 2023. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had $11.5a $3.0 million outstanding balance and had $3.0 million in letters of credit against our Credit Agreement. As of NovemberMay 5, 2019,2020, we have $5.5$6.7 million outstanding under our Credit Agreement and $3.1$2.7 million in letters of credit, leaving availability under the CCLP Credit Agreement of $14.4$16.1 million. The amounts the Partnership may borrow under the Credit Agreement are based on the amounts of CCLP’s accounts receivables and the value of certain inventory. Decreases in the amount of CCLP’s accounts receivable and the value of its inventory would result in reduced borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement. The Borrowers are in discussions with the lenders under the Credit Agreement regarding a potential amendment that would permit the Borrowers to incur second-priority liens on collateral pledged under our 7.50% Senior Secured Notes. This amendment will be entered into if the exchange offer discussed below is completed. We anticipate the terms of the amendment to the Credit Agreement may include, among other items, the inclusion of a $5.0 million reserve which would result in reduced borrowing availability. We can provide no assurance the amendment will be entered into or what its final terms might be.

7.50% Senior Secured Notes. As of NovemberMay 5, 2019,2020, $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 7.50% Senior Secured Notes are outstanding. The 7.50% Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum and are scheduled to mature on April 1, 2025.

7.25% Senior Notes. As of NovemberMay 5, 2019,2020, $295.9 million in aggregate principal amount of our 7.25% Senior Notes are outstanding. The 7.25% Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 7.25% per annum and are scheduled to mature on August 15, 2022.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase certain amounts of our outstanding 7.25% Senior Notes and 7.50% Senior Secured Notes through cash purchases, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

On April 17, 2020, we announced the commencement of an offer (the "Exchange Offer") to certain eligible noteholders ("Eligible Holders") to exchange any and all of their outstanding 7.25% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Unsecured Notes”) for newly issued 7.50% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2025 and 7.25% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2027. In conjunction with the offer, consents are being solicited from Eligible Holders to eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions in the indenture governing the Unsecured Notes. On May 1, 2020, we extended the early tender time for the Exchange Offer from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 30, 2020 to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 14, 2020 (which is the expiration time of the Exchange Offer), unless extended or earlier terminated by us. Eligible Holders that validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Unsecured Notes in the Exchange Offer prior to the “Expiration Time”) will receive $700 in principal amount of new 7.50% Senior Secured First Lien Notes or, as applicable and subject to proration, $750 principal amount of 7.25% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of Unsecured Notes tendered. We can terminate, withdraw, amend or extend the Exchange Offer at any time, subject to applicable law. In connection with the Exchange Offer, we are negotiating an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which would permit us to incur certain liens required to complete the Exchange Offer. There can be no assurance that the Exchange Offer or amendment to the Credit Agreement will be completed.

Other Financing

In February 2019, we entered into an arrangement with TETRA under which a subsidiary of TETRA entered into an agreement with one of our subsidiaries for the purchase up to $15.0 million of compression services

equipment and to subsequently lease the equipment back to us in exchange for monthly rental fees. As of March 31, 2020, pursuant to this arrangement, $14.8 million has been funded by TETRA for the construction of new compressor services equipment and all compression units were completed and deployed under this agreement.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

We adopted the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019. The new lease standard had a material impact to our consolidated financial statements, resulting from the inclusion of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements- Note A - "Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" and Note J - “Leases” for further discussion.
Commitments and Contingencies
 
From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations and commitments principally include obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness and obligations under operating leases.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of our general partner, to allow timely decisions regarding such required disclosure. In designing and evaluating such controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. It is necessary for management to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participationof our management, including thePrincipal Executive Officer and PrincipalFinancial Officerof ourGeneralPartner, general partner, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under RuleRules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act, as of 1934, as amended.the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Based on this evaluation, thePrincipalExecutive Officer andPrincipalFinancial Officerof ourGeneralPartner general partner concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effectiveineffective as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.Quarterly Report, due to a material weakness in our internal

control over financial reporting related to the revenue recognition for certain new unit sales where revenue recognition criteria had not been met.

ThereWe determined that the material weakness was the result of operating deficiencies and not the design of the controls supporting revenue recognition. In response to the material weakness, we are developing a remediation plan that will include more supervision and review of the performance of bill-and-hold controls to ensure adequate documentation is obtained and conclusions are reached prior to recognition of these revenues. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed during the second quarter of 2020; however, we will not be able to confirm the effectiveness of our enhanced internal controls until we have conducted sufficient testing. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor vigorously the effectiveness of these processes, procedures, and controls, and will make any further changes management determines appropriate. After identifying the material weakness, we examined all transactions potentially impacted, and adjusted the consolidated financial statements and disclosures accordingly. The impact to the financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, was a reduction to new unit sales revenues of approximately $6.0 million and a reduction to gross profit of approximately $0.5 million.

Additional review, evaluation, and oversight has been undertaken to ensure our consolidated financial statements and disclosures included in this Quarterly Report were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and as a result, our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of our general partner, have concluded that the consolidated financial statements and disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Except as noted above, there has been no changeschange in ourthe internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020, that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019 that havehas materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
 
From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 There The statements in this section describe the known material risks to our business and should be considered carefully. We have been no material changesdescribed in the information pertaining2019 Annual Report significant risk factors and periodically update those risks for material developments. The risk factor below updates our risk factors previously discussed in our 2019 Annual Report.

The COVID-19 pandemic and oversupply of oil from OPEC+ materially reduced demand for our products and services, and has had, and may continue to have, a significant adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic, subsequent mitigation efforts, and disagreements between OPEC+ regarding limits on production of oil have added significant volatility and uncertainty in the oil and gas industry. At the outset of the pandemic, OPEC and the other oil producing nations were unable to reach an agreement on production levels for crude oil, which led both Russia and Saudi Arabia to substantially increase production. This, combined with an unprecedently decline in oil demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in global oil markets being oversupplied. On April 12th, OPEC and the other oil producing nations reached an agreement to limit production through the end of June, although there still appears to be a large demand / supply imbalance. Despite the agreement to cut production, downward pressure on oil and natural gas prices have remained and could continue

for the foreseeable future. The collapse in the demand for oil caused by this unprecedented global health and economic crisis has had, and is reasonably likely to continue to have, a negative impact on the demand for our products and services. The decline in our customers’ demand for our products and services has had, and is likely to continue to have, a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

While the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet known, we are closely monitoring the effects of the pandemic on our customers, on our suppliers, on our operations, and on our employees. These effects have included, and may continue to include, declining revenue; disruptions to our Risk Factorsoperations, including customers canceling orders and returning our equipment early; customer shutdowns of oil and gas production activities; employee impacts from illness, school closures and other community response measures; and temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our customers and suppliers.

The extent to which our financial and operating results are negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and oversupplied oil markets will depend on various factors beyond our control, such as the duration and severity of the pandemic; additional measures taken by governments and our customers and suppliers in response to the pandemic; and the speed and effectiveness of mitigation efforts taken to combat the virus. For more information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

If we cannot meet the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, the Nasdaq may delist our common units.

On April 24, 2020, the Partnership was notified by the Nasdaq that the closing price of the CCLP’s common units (the “Common Units”), over the prior 30 consecutive trading day period was below $1.00 per unit, which is the minimum closing price per unit required to maintain listing on the Nasdaq under Rule 5450 (“Rule 5450”).

On April 16, 2020, the Nasdaq announced a rule change providing relief to listed companies that, due to market conditions resulting from the impact of COVID-19, have fallen out of compliance with certain of the Nasdaq’s continued listing standards. As a result of the relief announced by Nasdaq, the compliance period has been tolled with the effect that the days between April 17, 2020 and June 30, 2020 will not be counted toward the normal six-month compliance period. Starting on July 1, 2020, the Partnership will have a period of six months to regain compliance with Rule 5450, during which time our common units continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq, subject to our compliance with other continued listing standards. If we fail to regain compliance with Rule 5450 by the end of the cure period, the common units will be subject to the Nasdaq’s suspension and delisting procedures. If necessary, to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, we may, subject to approval of the board of directors of our general partner, implement a reverse split of our common units. A delisting of our common units from the Nasdaq could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of our common units, reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common units, limiting our ability to issue securities or obtain financing in the future, and limiting our ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby restricting our ability to access the public capital markets.

On April 21, 2020, the Nasdaq adopted a new rule the Partnership is at risk of violating. If the closing price for the Partnership’s common units is at or below $0.10 per unit for ten consecutive trading days, the Partnership will receive a delisting determination from the Nasdaq, which would terminate the opportunity to cure under Rule 5450. The Partnership could, however, request review of that determination by the Nasdaq hearings panel, which could grant the Partnership additional time to complete a reverse split of our common units or otherwise regain compliance. However, there is no assurance such relief would be granted. On May 5, 2020, the trading price of our common units closed at $0.45 per unit.

We disclosed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020 and if we have other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting our business may be adversely affected.

As disclosed in Item 4 of this Quarterly Report, as of March 31, 2020, management identified certain deficiencies in our 2018 Annual Report.internal control over financial reporting relating to accounting for the recognition of equipment sales revenues which were determined to constitute a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of this material weakness, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2020. A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact our ability to provide timely and

accurate information. Our general partner's management is undertaking steps to fully evaluate and remediate the material weakness and to enhance our internal control over financial reporting. If our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weakness, or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting occur in the future, we may not be able to timely or accurately report our results of operations or maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures. If we are unable to report financial information timely or accurately, or to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, we could be required to restate our financial statements and be subject to, among other things, regulatory or enforcement actions, securities litigation, limitations on our ability to access capital markets, debt rating agency downgrades or rating withdrawals, or loss in confidence of our investors, any one of which could adversely affect the valuation of our common units and our business prospects.
