Transactions with Related Parties |
Transactions with Related Parties | (12) Transactions with Related Parties ​ We provide compression services to entities affiliated with ETO, which as of September 30, 2019 owned approximately 48% of our limited partner interests and 100% of the General Partner. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized revenue of $5.1 million and $15.5 million, respectively, from such affiliated entities and we recognized revenue of $4.3 million and $12.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. ​ We had $3.7 million and $2.7 million in receivables and $2 thousand and $0.4 million in payables as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, from such affiliated entities. Additionally, the Partnership had a $44.9 million related party receivable from ETO as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, related to indemnification for sales tax contingencies incurred by the USA Compression Predecessor. See Note 13 for more information related to such sales tax contingencies. ​ ETO provided certain benefits to the USA Compression Predecessor employees which did not continue following the Transactions Date. ETO provided medical, dental and other healthcare benefits to the USA Compression Predecessor employees. The total amount incurred by ETO for the benefit of the USA Compression Predecessor employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.9 million, which was allocated to the USA Compression Predecessor and recorded in operation and maintenance and general and administrative expenses, as appropriate. ETO also provided a matching contribution to the USA Compression Predecessor employees’ 401(k) accounts. The total amount of matching contributions incurred for the benefit of the USA Compression Predecessor employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $0.9 million, which was allocated to the USA Compression Predecessor and recorded in operation and maintenance and general and administrative expenses, as appropriate. ETO also provided a 3% profit sharing contribution to the 401(k) accounts for all USA Compression Predecessor employees with base compensation below a specified threshold. The contribution was in addition to the 401(k) matching contribution and employees became vested in the profit sharing contribution based on years of service. ​ ETO allocated certain overhead costs associated with general and administrative services, including salaries and benefits, facilities, insurance, information services, human resources and other support departments to the USA Compression Predecessor which did not continue following the Transactions Date. Where costs incurred on the USA Compression Predecessor’s behalf could not be determined by specific identification, the costs were primarily allocated to the USA Compression Predecessor based on an average percentage of fixed assets, net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA. The USA Compression Predecessor believes these allocations were a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided. However, the allocations may not fully reflect the expenses that would have been incurred had the USA Compression Predecessor been a standalone company during the periods presented. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, ETO allocated general and administrative expenses of $1.8 million to the USA Compression Predecessor. ​ Pursuant to that certain Board Representation Agreement entered into by us, the General Partner, ET LP and EIG in connection with our private placement of Preferred Units and Warrants to EIG, EIG Management Company, LLC has the right to designate one of the members of the Board for so long as the holders of the Preferred Units hold more than 5% of the Partnership’s outstanding common units in the aggregate (taking into account the common units that would be issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Units and exercise of the Warrants). ​
