His

Clint Green (President and CEO)

Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us. With me today is Chris Paulson, Senior Vice President and CFO, Chris Watson, Senior Vice President and COO and other members of our leadership team. This morning we released our operational and financial results for quarter ending March 31, 2026. Today's call will contain forward looking statements based on our current beliefs and certain non GAAP measures. Please refer to our earnings release and SEC filings for reconciliations and definitions of non GAAP measures and related risk factors as we discuss performance Please note that JW acquisition closed on January 12th and therefore Q1 earnings excludes the impact of revenues and expenses for JW power for the first 11 days of the quarter. Before we get into the quarter, I want to take a moment to recognize our team on safety. Our people go to work in the field every day, working around complex equipment, driving millions of miles a month and the way they return to their family matters more than any financial metric we report. In 2025, our combined TRIR finished at a 0.39, a 50% reduction from 2024 and well below the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) industry average of 0.70, a benchmark we have now beaten for 12 consecutive years. We are proud of these results and we remain committed to continuous improvement moving to the quarter which included two integrations that established upward momentum for the company. First, we kicked off the integration of JW Power at the time when horsepower lead times continued to extend. Customer discussions commenced immediately upon closing, starting the process of onboarding new customers to the USA Compression Partners platform. As of early March, we have integrated the Combined Operations Organization and established a new reporting structure. Second, on February 1, our integration of Legacy USA Compression data into a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system was completed. Our respective integration teams worked long hours to enable a smooth transition of both and I can't be more appreciative of their efforts. Throughout it all, we have maintained our operational momentum while delivering Distributable Cash Flow (DCF) and leverage metrics and that show meaningful year over year improvement to our unitholders. The company is now broadly diversified across every major basin, horsepower class and customer type. In the last few months we have contracted over 90% of our 2026 horsepower which will more than double the new horsepower deployed in 2025. Additionally, we have continued the momentum in our small horsepower class with utilization up nearly 10% year over year. The introduction of JW Power's manufacturing capabilities is enabling us to manage a dynamic compression market differently than the past. Certain new engine lead times have recently tripled from 50 weeks to approximately 150 weeks and while historically we might hesitate to commit to the full horsepower cost that far in advance, we are now able to directly acquire highly marketable engines with optionality to package for our own internal contract compression needs or Future resale to third parties. Engine costs represent approximately 25 to 40% of the total skid cost with just a fraction of that cost provided as a deposit in the event of an unexpected contract compression market shift over the next several years. We believe we could also divest those engines for other use cases, further reducing any unlikely downside exposure. Additionally, the diversity of our manufactured compression products including midsize large horsepower, electric and high pressure gas lifts supports more competitive pricing for our customers while enabling us to adapt to the ever changing marketplace. So far the oil directed rig count remains flat this year but producers are showing more optimism looking out over 12 month horizon than we have seen for some time. Reflecting a much improved commodity backdrop, the 12 month oil strip has significantly lagged physical spot prices and arguably is underpriced for an immediate and permanent ceasefire much less a long term conflict. We believe spot natural gas prices do not reflect the LNG risk associated with the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, Waha pricing is anticipated to materially improve with export capacities increasing in Q4 of 2026. I will now turn the call over to Chris Walson, our Chief Operating Officer who will provide additional insights to our current operations and our out year growth plan.

Chris Watson (Senior Vice President and COO)

Thanks Clint. As of today the operations and commercial organizations have been integrated with both JW employees and Legacy U employees under new reporting structures consistent with a best in class approach. The longer term result will be streamlined route optimization, customer contracts, vendors inventory safety protocols and systems data. As discussed in the prior quarter, we expect approximately 10 to 20 million dollars of annual run rate synergies by year end 2027 and we are still tracking towards those estimates. The current new compression lead times have presented a new challenge for near term business continuity and long term planning for both contract compression and manufacturing. As a result we have already placed orders for engines engineering in package components for 2027 and engines for 2028 and a portion of 2029. Package component lead times remain well inside of engine lead times, but will continue to monitor and place these orders when needed. These advanced planning efforts should enable new contract compression growth to stay largely consistent with 2026 in excess of 100,000 horsepower each year. As far as our manufacturing book is concerned, we have some specialty horsepower slated for resale, but the vast majority is expected to go into our fleet. Our 2028 orders are nearly entirely weighted to large 3600 series engines which are the most desired by our compression customers, while also having substantial optionality for sale should the market shift. We continue to have robust conversations across our diverse customer portfolio and and as Clint mentioned, we have contracted more than 90% of nearly 110,000 new horsepower expected to be added to the fleet in 2026 and are presently in the middle of multi year strategic planning discussions with some of our strongest customers to shore up our 2027 book. Notably, we experienced lower churn rates than expected in Q1, which is a reflection of the tightness in the current market. This backdrop, coupled with the idle units acquired from jw, positions us for outsized horsepower growth in the back half of the year and into early 2027. Finally, while oil prices have moved up significantly in the last month, we are focused on minimizing cost increases tied to lubricants. If oil prices were to remain at current levels, we would expect much of that increase to show up in the second half of the year as our lubricant contracts renew. I will now turn the call over to Chris Paulson to discuss our financial results in detail.

Chris Paulson (Senior Vice President and CFO)

Thanks Chris. For basis of comparison, our quarter and year ago financials exclude the benefit of JW that closed on January 12th for Q1 2026. Our income statement reflects the results of JW's contributions for 79 days in the quarter and therefore our non GAAP financial numbers including EBITDA and DCF reflect the same. By contrast, our non GAAP operating metrics tied to horsepower including utilization, average revenue per horsepower per month and average active horsepower calculated based on month end and therefore fully reflect JW's horsepower contribution for the quarter. As we highlighted in our December 1 deal announcement, while JW provides meaningful near term accretion and immediate deleveraging, the company in aggregate also has lower gross margin than our legacy asset base, in part due to the manufacturing and AMS operations that contributed approximately 10% of legacy EBITDA turning the page to Q1 results, we increased pricing to an all time high averaging $22.73 per horsepower, a 5% increase in sequential quarters and an 8% increase compared to a year ago. Average active Horsepower ended at 4.438 million. Our first quarter adjusted gross margins came in at 64.4%. Regarding the consolidated financial results, our first quarter 2026 net income was 38.3 million, operating income was 91.4 million, net cash provided by operating activities was 86.1 million and cash interest expense net was 47.1 million. Our leverage ratio at the end of the fourth quarter was 3.74 times. Turning to operational results, our total fleet horsepower at the end of the quarter was approximately 4.931 million horsepower, adding approximately 1.037 million horsepower as compared to the prior quarter largely tied to the JW acquisition. Our average utilization for the first quarter was 91.9%, a decrease compared to the prior quarter. After incorporating JW first quarter 2026, expansion capital expenditures were 26.4 million and our maintenance capital expenditures were 9.2 million. Expansion capital spending in Q1 primarily consisted of new units while maintenance capital activity was deferred for a few weeks in February due to the implementation of Systems, Applications, and Products (SAP) on February 1st. For the remainder of the year, most growth capital will be focused on new horsepower and reconfigurations. While maintenance capital will normalize towards our full year projections, we continue to maintain our full year adjusted ebitda range of 778 to 100 million, distributable cash flow range of 480 to 510 million, maintenance capital range of 60 to 70 million and expansion capital range of 230 to 250 million. As Chris Watson noted, we are nearly fully contracted for 2026 and are placing advance orders to maintain full utilization of our manufacturing complex for several years. As stated in February, our near term target is to maintain a 3.75 times debt to EBITDA and we made significant progress towards this goal in Q1. While we hit this target for the quarter, we anticipate it will tick higher in Q2 as we take delivery of new horsepower. The trend back lower by year end. The energy high yield market has remained open and very resilient throughout the Iran conflict. Our improved leverage metrics put the company in a strong position to access capital markets later this year to the extent we want to provide more consistency in our debt tranche sizing and duration. This quarter was a whirlwind of activity for our operations and finance teams as we implement new systems with new assets on new faces. The execution was nothing short of exceptional as we laid the foundation for more acquisition opportunities to come. We will stay disciplined and evaluate opportunities that fit with our financial goals and core competencies. In the near term, our business will be improved through a gross margin push, working to improve structural cost and the efficiency of the JW organization in the face of an inflationary oil environment. And with that, I'll turn the call back to Clint for concluding remarks.

Clint Green (President and CEO)

Thanks, Chris. This business demands that we stay close to our customers every single day, understanding their needs, anticipating where they're headed, and making sure we're ready when they call. The discipline doesn't change with the commodity cycle. What is changing is the opportunity in front of us. The demand for natural gas, both to move it and to power the infrastructure around it, continues to grow. And we feel very good about our position in that story. The relationships we've built with our suppliers combined with our manufacturing capabilities gives us a real advantage in an environment where equipment lead times remain extended. We intend to use that advantage. We're bullish on contract compression overall, and I'm excited about where we're headed. I will now open up the call to questions.

OPERATOR

Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. If you have dialed in and would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad to raise your hand and join the queue. If you would like to withdraw your question, simply press star one again. Your first question comes from the line of Nate Pundelton with Texas Capital. Please go ahead.

Nate Pundelton

Good morning and congrats on the record results. You had a really strong quarter across the board. Can you talk for a moment? How this compared to your internal expectations following the JW integration and then maybe your decision to keep the guidance the same here in lieu of those results.

Clint Green (President and CEO)

Yeah, Nate, thank you for that. Yeah, I mean, I feel like we're in line with where we thought we would be as we put this model together late last year and decided to move forward with the acquisition. We're, you know, we're working through. We've already worked through some of the operational changes in the structure. We're working hard on, you know, our routing and ways to save going forward. But we're overall, we're really happy with where we're at in the process and excited about where we're headed by year end and then through the future.

Nate Pundelton

Got it. Thanks, Clint. And as my follow up, maybe for Chris, I believe last call, you talked about looking for distribution coverage expanding beyond the 1.6 times marker as sparking some conversations with coverage now over 1.7 times. Can you talk about how you weigh adding to an already strong distribution versus other uses of capital? Sure.

Chris Paulson (Senior Vice President and CFO)

Nate. Just before that, just to add a little bit to Clint's comments as it relates to JW acquisition as well. I think we mentioned this before, but I think we've been generally very pleased with sophistication their operations as we start to embark upon another Systems, Applications, and Products (SAP) implementation for their operations. In particular, we're seeing some things that we want to adopt in our own, which is fantastic and which is probably expected from a company that's been doing it for 60 years. So there are areas of manufacturing that are done exceptionally well, areas as it relates to customer interaction and outreach that have been done exceptionally well. The retail side of the business, I'll just point to that as well. But as it relates to your distribution question, you know, we were. We were pleased to see that number tick up to 1.72 times. The part of that relates to the fact that we kind of had a bit of a partial quarter. We ultimately had lower maintenance expenditures. That was part, you know, that was due to the Systems, Applications, and Products (SAP) implementation itself. We did a couple weeks of paper stacking as it related to the transition. We really had kind of a quiet period for about a week and a half where we really told our folks to limit their maintenance expenditures. And so as a result, our maintenance expenditures were down and therefore DCF ticked up. Now, that being said, we also did not account for the DCF over those 11 days while fully accounting for maintenance capital. So I think Net Net, we feel really good about, you know, setting up for, you know, a durable and really disciplined approach to, you know, distribution over time. Our distribution policy, you know, we want to see something sustained for a period of time and continue to hit both our financial metrics in terms of leverage, but also continue to see and repeat kind of these type of numbers before I think we would begin to approach the conversation about any change in distribution policy.

Nate Pundelton

Understood. I really appreciate all the detail. Congrats again.

Clint Green (President and CEO)

Thanks, Nate.

The next question comes from the line of Jim Rosen with Raymond James. Please go ahead.

Jim Rosen

Hey, good morning, gentlemen. Clint, you talked about lead time stretching out again. It's pretty remarkable to see how quickly that has spread to numbers we've never seen before. And it seems to be you guys are pretty well ahead of the game by placing orders for engines out multiple years. I'm curious how you're seeing your customers and maybe even competitors in terms of how they are set for planning out this far in advance. Because it wasn't long ago that customers were kind of caught by surprise when a couple years ago lead times were beyond a year and now we're almost three years. And so I'm just kind of curious how you think the, you know, the customer base and the industry is set for planning on these extended time horizons.

Clint Green (President and CEO)

Yeah, you know, it was a little bit of a surprise at one point the lead times, you know, we were, we were running around 55 to 70 weeks just depending on the day. And then overnight, you know, cat went to 100 weeks or 108 weeks and that's when, when we got in gear pretty quickly to try and figure out, you know, how we were going to cover that. So we got creative for 27 and we're able to pull some stuff in and then, and then 28. We decided to go ahead and make that, that engine order for 28. You know, the customers, I think they're, they're, they're, they're dealing with it just like we are. You know, thankfully we're able to provide for, for our customers with, with our plans for the future and competition. I haven't really heard what they're doing on any front. I'm sure they're trying to figure it out just like we are. I think our capital program has gone from a one year program to probably a three year outlook and taking pieces of it at a time as we have to order engines. Now, a lot of it is driven by the generation, it's the generator orders because you see that Ariel and cooler manufacturers, those lead times are still the 25 to 30 weeks. They're, they're not stretched way out. So I think everybody's taking it in stride and, and, and we're, we're trying to make sure our customers are taken care of.

Jim Rosen

Yeah, well, kudos for being ahead of the game. And then I guess as a follow up, maybe you guys. Chris, you talked about OPEX or mainly higher oil prices. That'll drive lube oil and fuel costs up to some extent in the second half if oil prices stay up here. Curious how you think about, you know, your ability to pass that on given how tight the market is and maybe the, the lag effect of being able to price that on. Obviously you didn't change your guidance, so it's not impacting your margins at this point, but just kind of curious how you're all thinking about that.

Chris Walson

Yeah, no, thanks for that. It's Chris Walson. One thing with inflation, you know, with oil price and, you know, everything, all of our costs are going up. So, you know, we're continuing to drive efficiencies in the organization to protect that margin, you know, and as contracts expire and renewals come up, we do plan to address that accordingly. So, you know, it's kind of twofold. So we're going to manage it as best we can and continue to drive for efficiencies. That's the biggest win here.

Jim Rosen

Appreciate the color, guys. Thanks.

OPERATOR

Thank you. The next question comes from the line of eli Johnson with JPMorgan.

eli Johnson

Hey, good morning. Just wanted to start on the outlook for new unit procurement. It seems like you've got orders placed for the next several years. So how should we think about the cadence of unit additions over these next couple years? I know some of your peers have given an outlook through the decades, but just curious, you know, how we should think about, you know, new units hitting the fleet. Thanks.

Clint Green (President and CEO)

You know, one thing we're trying to do is stick to that 100,000 ish horsepower of growth year over year. So with, you know, maybe even up to 125, just depends on how things shake out. But you know, that's the beauty of our manufacturing business. So we can control that a whole lot better now. It's a lot more optionality. You know, it enables us to really make those decisions and do what's best for our customers and the organization. Hey, this is Clint. I want to add on that, you know, I talked about a three year capital program and we're really only talking about the cost of the engine for that three years. We have the engines ordered, but we will wait until and we'll monitor lead times on compressors and coolers and that way we can order those, you know, you know, with 40 weeks or something like that to have them in time for the engines to arrive. So I want to make sure we're not committed. Everybody understands we're not committed to the full compressor cost going out three years. It's just a deposit on the engine so far.

eli Johnson

Got it. That's a helpful clarification. And then, you know, maybe shifting over to some of the stronger pricing we saw this quarter as well as the utilization noise from the JW integration. Can we help frame run rate levels on both of those metrics going forward? Should we expect continued pricing growth and how will fleet utilization, you think, ultimately shake out once you're fully integrated? Thanks,

Chris Paulson (Senior Vice President and CFO)

Eli. Chris Paulson. So as it relates to the first part of that question on the utilization front, you know, the utilization is reflective of the fact that we brought in over a million corporation's horsepower and essentially got that optionality, I think on the cheap. As we mentioned in our, in our acquisition call, we noted that, you know, we felt like there were 900,000 plus readily deployable. We've taken the initial pass through that fleet and that's why you see, and you know, the over a million horsepower that's, that's within our total count. We'll continue to review that and look more deeply into that total capacity. And part of that will be as we continue to increase orders, increase our small horsepower utilization. As we noted, we increased it over 10% year over year. We see that potential to, potential to improve from here and those are some of those units that we'll evaluate. So presently the horsepower utilization that you see I think is, is a baseline for new run rate and I think it can only improve from here, both in terms of small horsepower utilization, but also as we dig deeper into some of that capacity, we may ultimately decide that that capacity is no longer deployable within our operations but can be used on other operations elsewhere. As it relates to the revenue side of the question, you know, the revenue, you know, has continued to improve as we noted, 5 and 8% in terms of revenue relative improvement. We see that, you know, continuing to improve, consistent kind of with the way in which we've approached in the past. I think as we see cost increase, you know, many of our contracts, and I should say most are CPI U based, we've seen CPIU tick up almost 100bps from not very long ago. So one, we'll have the CPIU support as it relates to revenue. But two, we are partnering with our upstream and midstream companies. We always do just that. And so they understand through any cycle that there's a give and take. And we recognize that too and partnered as it relates to the business and would anticipate that, you know, as our cost increase that there will be some relative cost increase on the, on the other side of that and just need to have constructive conversations and that's a big part of having great relationships within the business and being around since 98 and having, you know, nearly two decades of, of relationships with our top 10 customers.

eli Johnson

Super helpful. Leave it there. Thanks.

OPERATOR

And once again, if you would like to ask a question, please press Star one on your telephone keypad. The next question comes from the line of Doug Irwin with Ciri. Please go ahead.

Doug Irwin

Hey team, thanks for the question. Maybe anyone on JW Power here. It sounds like the Manufacturing business is already maybe changing the way you approach your, your growth backlog a little bit. Just curious, now that you've had a bit more time with these assets under your belt, if there may have been any other opportunities or surprises you've been able to uncover with regard to synergy, opportunities that maybe you hadn't fully appreciated beforehand.

Clint Green (President and CEO)

Yeah, this is Clint. Doug, thanks for your question. Yeah, I mean, we, we fully expect to, or we, we hope to find some, some, some diamonds in the rough, you know, that we weren't expecting. Definitely the manufacturing business, you know, the capacity there is between 100 and 125,000 horsepower in that facility, which is kind of what we expect to grow or plan to grow, and maybe a little north of that over the next few years. But so we feel like that will give us a lot of flexibility. The operation side of it being in every basin now and having facilities that are across the road from each other in several spots. You know, there may be some synergy opportunity there. We think there's more to come. We're just trying to dig through the, dig through all the opportunities and figure out which ones really come to life.

Doug Irwin

Got it. That makes sense. And then maybe just a higher level one as a follow up, looking at slide 4 here in your slide deck, you call out the need for over 10 million incremental horsepower by 2030, which is obviously a huge number. Just curious what you see is your role in meeting that demand here moving forward. Do you potentially see a need to lean even further into growth kind of relative to what you already messaged here over the next couple years? And then if you can maybe talk about maybe what basins on that map you see yourself as having the biggest advantage in.

Chris Paulson (Senior Vice President and CFO)

Yeah, this is. Chris, great question. So as it relates to that, you know, part of it is, what is that right forecast? And so we are always, we're actively reviewing kind of the overall forecast for natural gas, understanding the LNG markets, the data center markets, they're exceptionally fluid, as you well know. I think ultimately we feel really good about kind of the forecast that was put forth on that particular slide and the forecast as it relates to those basins. And I think it's all related to the relative natural gas price as well. You know, ultimately, I think the Rockies, for instance, is an area that we would say at a higher gas price that would probably most certainly be kind of a flattish range. Whereas I think those rest of those areas are well established in terms of their growth trajectories at current pricing, if not above. And so Ultimately, as we think about our place in this trajectory, I mean we want to, to be in a position to maintain our current standing, our current market share, if you will. We know that in areas like the Northeast we have an outsized market share and it's an area that has returned to growth. And there's really fundamentally sound measures that support that 5 to 7 bcf. I think if we see coal to gas, switching that number increases from here and that's really based on announced projects. So I mean, and there's still probably more to come there as it relates to the Gulf coast and the Permian that are going to make up more than half of that. We're well situated there. You know, we have, we're a big player in the Permian, we're a huge player on the Gulf coast and mid Con and we want to maintain our market share, if not grow it in those respective areas as well.

Doug Irwin

Awesome. Thanks for the time. Thank you.

OPERATOR

And the next question comes from the line of Selman Akil with Stipul. Please go ahead.

Selman Akil

Thank you. I just kind of wanted to follow up on that last question. And you know, listening to the energy transfer call, they're certainly Talking about the U.S. when everything settles out from Middle east war, the U.S. becomes certainly a preferred supplier to the global outlook. And so as you think about that, should we expect to see an acceleration of your business?

Clint Green (President and CEO)

We fully expect. So this. Clint, I'm sorry, you know, we, if you look at, look at the whole the market, there's 15 to 20% of the LNG capacity locked in the straight of Hormuz locked in becaU.S.e of the straight of Hormuz. Right now Japan Korea Marker (JKM) prices are yesterday they were at $16 and U.S., U.S. gas prices are at, you know, 280 to $3. If you back up to to March, January and Mar. Or January and February this year Japan Korea Marker (JKM) was you know, 9 to $10 and U.S., you know, Henry Hub pricing was, was 280 to 320. So we haven't, even though Japan Korea Marker (JKM) has gone up, we haven't seen the pricing increase here in the U.S. Part of that is takeaway capacity. Right. I guess the major driver of it is. But by the end of the year we're going to have a lot more capacity coming out of the Permian. There's several LNG facilities either expanding now under construction or you know, completely being built under construction. But if you look at the U.S. Department Energy's website, they show five of those facilities will be online within the next 24 months. So with all that said, you know, if Gas Takeaway is able to get out of the Permian and get to the facilities on the Gulf coast or and you know, are able to get on boats and go across the ocean and the demand for U.S. natural gas is going to go up. You know, we couldn't be more excited about the natural gas story right now, whether it's Dry Basin or the Permian or wherever. And any of that growth with U.S. being in all the basins means that we have to grow with it. So we're super excited about the prospects of the future here.

Selman Akil

All right, appreciate that. Then let me just ask you about the extended lead times and I guess when you look at the the 3006 hundreds and you're talking, I believe, 2500 horsepower and up, is that all just being driven by I guess sort of AI backup power or primary power. And so you're competing against that. Is that what's really taking the lead times up or is it something else?

Clint Green (President and CEO)

Well, it's both. It's natural gas driven engines that are generators that are driving. You know, that market has increased extremely. Right. So a lot of people order in generation and then you have folks ordering natural gas compression engines that to supply the gas to the generators. And CAT really doesn't have a lot of big plans to expand their manufacturing facility in the near future for the 3600 series, which is the 2000, 2500 up to 5000 horsepower. So those are the drivers behind it. I mean, I think we're to the point now where we're starting to look at other engine manufacturers options, whether it's domestic or international because I believe there's a hole that we've got to start filling in the future if this is going to continue out.

OPERATOR

Thank you. And there are no further questions at this time. I would like to turn it back to Clint Green for closing remarks.

Clint Green (President and CEO)

Yeah. Thank you all for joining our call today. As always, we're deeply appreciative of our employees and the stakeholders that enable us to conduct our business every day. With that, we want you all to have a great day. Thank you for joining and see you next time.
