(1) Horsepower utilization is calculated as (i)(a) revenue generating horsepower plus (b) horsepower in the Partnerships fleet that is under contract, but is not yet generating revenue plus (c) horsepower not yet in the Partnerships fleet that is under contract not yet generating revenue and that is subject to a purchase order, divided by (ii) total available horsepower less idle horsepower that is under repair. Horsepower utilization based on revenue generating horsepower and fleet horsepower at each applicable period end was 86.4% and 89.9% for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Average horsepower utilization was 88.9% and 86.3% for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 87.1% and 88.5% for the quarters ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Fourth Quarter 2012 Operating Performance
Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $31.8 million as compared to $28.4 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of 11.9%. This increase was primarily the result of contract operations revenue, which excludes retail parts and services, of $31.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to $25.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of 23.7%. The fourth quarter of 2011 also included incremental retail parts and service revenue that did not recur in the fourth quarter of 2012.
We are very pleased to report record levels of revenue for both the fourth quarter of 2012 and the full year 2012, said Eric D. Long, P.E., USA Compression President and Chief Executive Officer. The demand for our services remains strong and higher levels of gross operating margin continue to improve our financial performance.
Average revenue generating horsepower (HP) was 792,368 for the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to 628,903 for the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of 26.0%. Average revenue per revenue generating HP per month was $13.39 for the fourth quarter 2012 as compared to $13.67 for the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of 2.0%. Lower average monthly revenue per revenue generating HP in 2012 resulted, in part, from the increase in the average HP per revenue generating compression unit, which was 811 for the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to 720 for the fourth quarter of 2011. Gross operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $21.9 million as compared to $16.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of 30.0%. Gross operating margin, as a percentage of total revenues, increased from 59.3% in the fourth quarter of 2011 to 68.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to increasing operating leverage by adding large HP compression units to the Partnerships revenue generating HP portion of the fleet and the elimination of expenses relating to an operating lease with Caterpillar. On December 15, 2011, the Partnership purchased the compression units that were previously subject to the Caterpillar operating lease for $43.0 million. Excluding the operating lease expense of $0.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2011, the gross operating margin percentage was 62.0%. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $16.8 million as compared to $14.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of 19.0%.
Maintenance capital expenditures and cash interest expense were $3.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2012, while expansion capital expenditures were $28.0 million for this period and were used primarily to purchase new compression units. Distributable cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $9.2 million as compared to $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of 55.4%.
2012 Highlights
Revenue for 2012 was $118.8 million versus $98.7 million in 2011, an increase of 20.3%. The increase was primarily due to a 23.9% increase in contract operations revenue of $116.4 million in 2012 as compared to $93.9 million in 2011, which was driven almost exclusively by the growth in revenue generating HP. Gross operating margin for 2012 was $81.0 million as compared to $59.1 million for last year, an increase of 37.0%. Gross operating margin, as a percentage of total revenues, increased to 68.2% in 2012 from 59.9% in 2011, primarily due to increasing operating leverage by adding large HP compression units to the Partnerships revenue generating HP portion of the fleet and the elimination of expenses relating to an operating lease with Caterpillar. Excluding the Caterpillar operating lease expense of $4.1 million during 2011, the gross operating margin
percentage was 64.0%. Adjusted EBITDA for 2012 was $63.5 million as compared to $51.3 million for 2011, an increase of 23.8%.
Maintenance capital expenditures and cash interest expense were $13.3 million and $14.1 million, respectively, for 2012 while expansion capital expenditures were $166.7 million for this period and were used primarily to purchase new compression units. Distributable cash flow was $34.9 million in 2012 and $22.8 million in 2011, an increase of 53.3%.
Initial Public Offering and Credit Facility
USA Compression closed its initial public offering (IPO) on January 18, 2013 and used the net proceeds of $180.8 million to repay a portion of the outstanding balance under its revolving credit facility. The Partnership maintains a $600.0 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that matures in October 2015. As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility was approximately $502.3 million compared to $363.8 million as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the application of the net proceeds from the Partnerships IPO, the Partnership had $321.5 million in borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility.
In addition, on January 30, 2013, the registration statement on Form S-1 relating to the Partnerships Distribution Reinvestment Plan was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Full Year 2013 Outlook
USA Compression is confirming its 2013 forecast of revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA of $145.4 million, $19.9 million and $82.1 million, respectively, as contained in its final IPO prospectus filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and expects to generate distributable cash flow of $56.0 million for that period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, gross operating margin and distributable cash flow.
The Partnerships management views Adjusted EBITDA as one of its primary management tools, and the Partnership tracks this item on a monthly basis both as an absolute amount and as a percentage of revenue compared to the prior month, year-to-date and prior year and to budget. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, impairment of compression equipment, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, management fees and expenses under an operating lease with Caterpillar (which the Partnership terminated on December 15, 2011). Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by the Partnerships management and external users of its financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks, to assess:
· the financial performance of the Partnerships assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of the Partnerships assets;
· the viability of capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities;
· the ability of the Partnerships assets to generate cash sufficient to make debt payments and to make distributions; and
· the Partnerships operating performance as compared to those of other companies in its industry without regard to the impact of financing methods and capital structure.
The Partnership believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, it provides a more complete understanding of the Partnerships performance than GAAP results alone. The Partnership also believes that external users of its financial statements benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating the results of the Partnerships business.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance and liquidity. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Gross operating margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as revenue less cost of operations, exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. The Partnerships management believes that gross operating margin is useful as a supplemental measure of the Partnerships operating profitability. Gross operating margin is impacted
primarily by the pricing trends for service operations and cost of operations, including labor rates for service technicians, volume and per unit costs for lubricant oils, quantity and pricing of routine preventative maintenance to compression units and property tax rates on compression units. Gross operating margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, gross operating margin as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Because the Partnership capitalizes assets, depreciation and amortization of equipment is a necessary element of its costs. To compensate for the limitations of gross operating margin as a measure of the Partnerships performance, the Partnerships management believes that it is important to consider operating income determined under GAAP, as well as gross operating margin, to evaluate the Partnerships operating profitability.
Distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income (loss) plus non-cash interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, impairment of compression equipment charges and non-cash SG&A costs, less maintenance capital expenditures. The Partnerships management believes distributable cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to compare basic cash flows the Partnership generates (prior to the establishment of any retained cash reserves by the Partnerships general partner and the effect of the Partnerships Distribution Reinvestment Plan) to the cash distributions the Partnership expects to pay its unitholders. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for Adjusted EBITDA reconciled to net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and net income reconciled to distributable cash flow.

(1) Represents expenses for the respective periods under the operating lease facility with Caterpillar, from which the Partnership historically leased compression units and other equipment. On December 15, 2011, the Partnership purchased the compression units that were previously leased from Caterpillar for $43 million and terminated all the lease schedules and covenants under the facility. As such, the Partnership believes it is useful to investors to view its results excluding these lease payments.
(2) Represents management fees paid to Riverstone for services performed during 2012 and 2011. As these fees will not be paid by the Partnership as a public company, the Partnership believes it is useful to investors to view its results excluding these fees.
(3) During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership incurred $0.3 million of restructuring charges for severance and retention benefits related to the termination of certain administrative employees. These charges are reflected as restructuring charges in the Partnerships consolidated statement of operations. The Partnership paid approximately $0.1 million of these restructuring charges in the three months ended March 31, 2012, and paid the remaining $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012. The Partnership believes that it is useful to investors to view its results excluding this non-core expense.

This press release contains a forward-looking estimate of Adjusted EBITDA projected to be generated by the Partnership in its 2013 fiscal year. A reconciliation to GAAP net cash provided by operating activities is not provided because GAAP net cash provided by operating activities is not accessible on a forward looking basis. The items necessary to estimate GAAP net cash provided by operating activities that are not included in net income, in particular the change in operating assets and liabilities amounts, are not accessible or estimable at this time. The Partnership does not anticipate the changes in operating assets and liabilities amounts to be material, but changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue could be significant, such that the amount of net cash provided by operating activities would vary substantially from the amount of projected Adjusted EBITDA and net income.
