This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding:

•Expected operating results, such as revenue growth and earnings, and our ability to service our indebtedness;

•Anticipated levels of capital expenditures and uses of capital;

•Current or future volatility in the credit markets and future market conditions;

•Potential or pending acquisition transactions or other strategic transactions, the timing thereof, the receipt of necessary approvals to close such transactions, our ability to finance such transactions, and our ability to achieve the intended operational, financial and strategic benefits from any such transactions;

•Expected synergies and efficiencies to be achieved as a result of our acquisition of CSI Compressco LP (“CSI Compressco” and such acquisition, the “CSI Acquisition”);

•Expectations regarding leverage and dividend profile as a result of the CSI Acquisition, including the amount and timing of future dividend payments;

•Expectations of the effect on our financial condition of claims, litigation, environmental costs, contingent liabilities, and governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings;

•Production and capacity forecasts for the natural gas and oil industry;

•Strategy for customer retention, growth, fleet maintenance, market position and financial results;

•Our interest rate hedges; and

•Strategy for risk management.

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

•A reduction in the demand for natural gas and oil;

•The loss of, or the deterioration of the financial condition of, any of our key customers;

•Nonpayment and nonperformance by our customers, suppliers or vendors;

•Competitive pressures that may cause us to lose market share;

•The structure of our Contract Services contracts and the failure of our customers to continue to contract for services after expiration of the primary term;

•Our ability to successfully integrate any acquired businesses, including CSI Compressco, and realize the expected benefits thereof;

•Our ability to fund purchases of additional compression equipment;

•A deterioration in general economic, business, geopolitical or industry conditions, including as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas War, inflation and slow economic growth in the United States;

•Major natural disasters, severe weather events or other similar events that could disrupt operations;
