Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary, NGSG Properties, LLC, which owns the Company’s headquarters office building and the rabbi trust associated with our deferred compensation plan. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions for the periods presented have been eliminated in consolidation.

These financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position at September 30, 2024 and the results of our operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 on file with the SEC. In our opinion, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent a fair representation of our financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Revenue Recognition Policy

Revenue is measured based on the consideration and terms specified in a customer’s contract, excluding any sale incentives and taxes collected on behalf of third parties (i.e. sales and property taxes). Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive for those goods or services. To recognize revenue, we (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation(s). Shipping and handling costs incurred are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Nature of Goods and Services

The following is a description of principal activities from which we generate our revenue:

Rental Revenue. We generate revenue from renting compressors to our customers. These contracts, which all qualify as operating leases under ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), may also include a fee for servicing the compressor during the rental contract. Our rental contracts typically range from six to 60 months. Our revenue is recognized over time, with monthly payments over the term of the contract. After the term of the contract has expired, a customer may renew its contract or continue renting on a monthly basis thereafter. In accordance with ASC 842, we have applied the practical expedient which allows us to combine lease and non-lease components.
Sales Revenue. We generate revenue by the sale of custom/fabricated compressors and parts, as well as exchange/rebuilding customer owned compressors and sale of used rental equipment. Our sales revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenues from Customers.

Custom compressors - We design and coordinate the assembly of compressors based on our customer’s specifications outlined in their contract. Though the equipment being built is customized by the customer, control under these contracts does not pass to the customer until the compressor is completed and shipped, or in accordance with a bill and hold arrangement, in which the customer accepts title and assumes the risk and rewards of ownership at a specified time. We request certain of our customers to make progressive payments as the compressor is being built; these payments are presented as deferred revenue within Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet until control has been transferred. These contracts also may include an assurance warranty clause to guarantee the product is free from defects in material and workmanship for a set duration of time; this is a standard industry practice and is not considered a performance obligation.

Parts - Revenue is recognized after the customer obtains control of the parts. Control is passed either by the customer taking physical possession or the parts being shipped. The amount of revenue recognized is not adjusted for expected returns, as our historical part returns have been de minimis.

Exchange or rebuild customer-owned compressors - Based on the contract, we will either exchange a new/rebuilt compressor for the customer’s malfunctioning compressor or rebuild the customer’s compressor. Revenue is recognized after control of the replacement or rebuilt compressor has transferred to the customer based on the terms of the contract, i.e., by physical delivery, delivery and installment, or shipment of the compressor.

Used compressors - From time to time, a customer may request to purchase a used compressor out of our rental fleet. Revenue from the sale of rental equipment is recognized when the control has passed to the customer based on the terms of the contract, i.e. when the customer has taken physical possession or the equipment has been shipped.

Aftermarket Service Revenue. We provide routine or call-out services on customer owned equipment as well as commissioning of new units for customers. Revenue is recognized after services in the contract are rendered.

Payment terms for sales revenue and aftermarket services revenue discussed above are generally 30 to 60 days although terms for specific customers can vary. Also, the transaction prices are not subject to variable consideration constraints.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2024, we had no deferred revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations.

Contract Costs    

We recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included within Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we include an expense in the tax provision in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

With respect to uncertain tax positions, GAAP prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is required to meet before being recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for unrecognized tax benefits is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in our tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. We had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Our policy regarding income tax interest and penalties is to charge those items as components of interest expense and other expense, respectively.

Capitalized Interest
We capitalize interest from external borrowings on significant expenditures for the assembly of our natural gas compressor equipment until such projects are ready for their intended use. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying asset and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets in the same manner as the underlying assets. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we capitalized interest aggregating approximately $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we capitalized interest aggregating approximately $3.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”) to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that ASU 2023-09 will have on our Consolidated Financial Statement disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”) which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense ” (“ASU 2024-03”) which expands annual and interim disclosures expenses for certain types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, selling, general & administrative expenses, and research and development). ASU 2024-03 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.
