Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
(a)Major Customers
One customer accounted for approximately 11% and 12% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(b)Litigation
From time to time, we and our subsidiaries may be involved in various claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, the resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
(c)Tax Contingencies
Our compliance with federal, state, and local tax regulations is subject to audit by various taxing authorities. Certain taxing authorities have either claimed or issued an assessment that specific operational processes, which we and others in our industry regularly conduct, result in transactions that are subject to taxes. We and others in our industry have disputed these claims and assessments based on either existing tax statutes or published guidance by the taxing authorities.
Our U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2019 and 2020 currently are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The IRS has issued preliminary partnership examination changes, resulting in imputed underpayment computations of approximately $29.2 million, including interest, for the 2019 and 2020 tax years. Under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, there are several procedural steps to complete before a final imputed underpayment, if any, is determined. Based on discussions with the IRS, we recognized a charge of $1.0 million, which we believe is a reasonable estimate of the potential loss from the aggregate final imputed underpayment for the years 2019 and 2020. This $1.0 million estimated amount was
recognized within income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025. However, the final partnership imputed underpayment, if any, has not been determined. Once determined, our General Partner may elect to either pay the imputed underpayment, if any, (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly to the IRS or, if eligible, issue a revised information statement to each unitholder, or former unitholder as applicable, with respect to an audited and adjusted return.
(d)Equipment Purchase Commitments
Our future capital commitments are comprised of binding commitments under purchase orders for new compression units ordered but not received. The commitments as of June 30, 2025, were $44.9 million, all of which is expected to be settled within the next 12 months.
(e)Environmental
Our operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations regarding water quality, hazardous and solid waste management, air quality control, and other environmental matters. These laws, rules, and regulations require that we conduct our operations in a specified manner and to obtain and comply with a wide variety of environmental registrations, licenses, permits, inspections, and other approvals. Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, rules, and regulations may expose us to significant fines, penalties, and/or interruptions in operations. Our environmental policies and procedures are designed to achieve compliance with such applicable laws, rules, and regulations. These evolving laws, rules, and regulations, and claims for damages to property, employees, other persons, and the environment resulting from current or past operations may result in significant expenditures and liabilities in the future.
