You can identify many of these statements by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “will continue” or similar words or the negative thereof.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. Known material factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements include the risk factors described in our 2018 Form 10-K and those set forth from time to time in our filings with the SEC, which are available through our website at www.archrock.com and through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, as well as the following risks and uncertainties:


•	the risk that cost savings, tax benefits and any other synergies from the Merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected;


•	conditions in the oil and natural gas industry, including the level of production of, demand for or price of oil or natural gas;


•	our reduced profit margins or the loss of market share resulting from competition or the introduction of competing technologies by other companies;


•	our dependence on Archrock to provide personnel and services, including its ability to hire, train and retain key employees and to cost-effectively perform the services necessary to conduct our business;


•	changes in economic or political conditions, including terrorism and legislative changes;


•	the inherent risks associated with our operations, such as equipment defects, impairments, malfunctions and natural disasters;


•	the risk that counterparties will not perform their obligations under our financial instruments;


•	the financial condition of our customers;


•	our ability to implement certain business and financial objectives, such as:

–	generating sufficient cash; and


–	accessing the capital markets at an acceptable cost;


•	liability related to the use of our services;

ARCHROCK PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

We are a leading provider of natural gas compression services to customers in the oil and natural gas industry throughout the U.S. Our contract operations services primarily include designing, sourcing, owning, installing, operating, servicing, repairing and maintaining natural gas compression equipment to provide natural gas compression services to our customers.

In April 2018, Archrock completed the acquisition of all of our outstanding common units that it did not already own and, as a result, we became its wholly-owned subsidiary. See Note 10 (“Partners’ Capital”) for further details of the Merger.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted. Management believes that the information furnished includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements presented in our 2018 Form 10-K, which contains a more comprehensive summary of our accounting policies. The interim results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Omission of Information by Certain Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries

We meet the conditions specified in General Instruction H(1)(a) and (b) of Form 10-Q and are thereby permitted to use the reduced disclosure format for wholly-owned subsidiaries of reporting companies specified therein. Accordingly, we have omitted from this report the information called for by Part I Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” Part II Item 2 “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities” and Part II Item 3 “Defaults Upon Senior Securities.” In addition, in lieu of the information called for by Part I Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” we have included, under Item 2, “Management’s Narrative Analysis of Results of Operations” to explain the reasons for material changes in the amount of revenue and expense items in the year-to-date periods reported herein.

Recent Business Developments

Elite Acquisition

On June 23, 2019, Archrock entered into an asset purchase agreement with Elite Compression pursuant to which Archrock will acquire from Elite Compression substantially all of its assets, including a fleet of predominantly-large compressor units comprising approximately 430,000 horsepower, a fleet of vehicles, real personal property and parts inventory, and certain liabilities for aggregate consideration of $205.0 million cash and 21,656,683 newly-issued shares of Archrock common stock. The cash portion of the purchase price will be funded with borrowings on our Credit Facility. The Elite Acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019 subject to certain closing conditions and the consummation of the Harvest Sale (see below). As a result of this transaction, we expect to own the purchased fleet of compressor units and the units’ associated customer contracts.

Harvest Sale

On June 23, 2019, Archrock entered into an asset purchase agreement with Harvest pursuant to which Harvest will acquire from Archrock approximately 80,000 active and idle compression horsepower, vehicles and parts inventory for consideration of $30 million to be paid in cash. All of the compression horsepower to be sold to Harvest is owned by us. The Harvest Sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred transaction costs of $2.3 million related to the Elite Acquisition and Harvest Sale, which is reflected in transaction-related costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Accounting Standards Updates Implemented

Leases

ASC 842 Leases establishes a ROU model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. We are a party to leases in our contract operations services agreements. We adopted ASC 842 Leases on January 1, 2019, and have determined that ASC 842 Leases will not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASC 842 Leases provides several practical expedients, one of which is for lessors to not separate lease and nonlease components and instead account for those components as a single component if ~~the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the Revenue Recognition Update and~~ certain conditions are met. ASC 842 Leases also provides clarification for lessors on whether ASC 842 Leases or ~~the~~ASC 606 Revenue ~~Recognition Update~~ is applicable to the combined component based on determination of the predominant component. We have concluded that for our contract operations services agreements, in which we are ~~the~~a lessor, the services nonlease component is predominant over the compression unit lease component and therefore ongoing recognition of these agreements will continue to follow the ~~Revenue~~ASC ~~Recognition~~606 ~~Update~~Revenue guidance.

Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Implemented

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 which amends the required fair value measurements disclosures related to valuation techniques and inputs used, uncertainty in measurement and changes in measurements applied. These amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 ~~that~~which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in earlier recognition of allowance for losses. For public entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. Entities will apply ASU 2016-13 provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

3. Related Party Transactions

Revolving Loan Agreement with Archrock

In conjunction with the closing of the Merger, we and Archrock entered into the Revolving Loan Agreement under which we may make loans to Archrock from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Credit Facility’s outstanding balance. The Revolving Loan Agreement matures on the maturity date of our Credit Facility. Interest on amounts loaned under the Revolving Loan Agreement is payable to us on a monthly basis and is calculated as a proportion of our total interest expense on the Credit Facility.

At ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, the balance of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement was $219.45 million. ~~During~~We ~~the three months ended March 31, 2019, we~~ recorded ~~$0.2 million of~~ interest income earned on loans to Archrock under the Revolving Loan Agreement, which was included in interest expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, of $0.2 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Common Control Transactions

Transactions between us and Archrock and its affiliates are transactions between entities under common control. Under GAAP, transfers of assets and liabilities between entities under common control are to be initially recorded on the books of the receiving entity at the carrying value of the transferor. Any difference between consideration given and the carrying value of the assets or liabilities received is treated as a capital distribution or contribution.

Sales of Compression Equipment with Archrock

If Archrock determines in good faith that we or Archrock’s contract operations services business needs to sell compression equipment between Archrock and us, the Omnibus Agreement permits such transactions if it will not cause us to breach any existing contracts, suffer a loss of revenue under any existing contract operations services contracts or incur any unreimbursed costs. As consideration for the sale of compression equipment, the transferee will make a distribution to or receive a contribution from the transferor in an amount equal to the net book value of the compression equipment sold.

The following table summarizes compressor unit sales activity between Archrock and us (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months EndedMarch 31, 2019

12During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded capital distributions of $2.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively, related to the difference in net book value of the compression equipment sold to and acquired from Archrock. In addition, in accordance with the Omnibus Agreement, we recorded capital contributions of $2.5 million and $4.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which represented the net excess of the fair market value of the equipment sold to Archrock over the equipment purchased from Archrock. No customer contracts were included in these sales.

Transfers of Overhauls

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, Archrock contributed to us $1.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, related to the completion of overhauls on compression equipment that was sold to us and where the overhauls were in progress on the date of the sale.

Reimbursement of Operating and SG&A Expense

Archrock provides all operational staff, corporate staff and support services reasonably necessary to run our business. These services may include, without limitation, operations, marketing, maintenance and repair, periodic overhauls of compression equipment, inventory management, legal, accounting, treasury, insurance administration and claims processing, risk management, health, safety and environmental, information technology, human resources, credit, payroll, internal audit, taxes, facilities management, investor relations, enterprise resource planning system, training, executive, sales, business development and engineering.

Archrock charges us for costs that are directly attributable to us. Costs that are indirectly attributable to us and Archrock’s other operations are allocated among Archrock’s other operations and us. The allocation methodologies vary based on the nature of the charge and have included, among other things, headcount and horsepower. We believe that the allocation methodologies used to allocate indirect costs to us are reasonable.

2027 Notes

On March 21, 2019, we completed a private offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due April 2027. Weand received net proceeds of $~~490~~491.92 million after deducting issuance costs. The $98.18 million of issuance costs were recorded as deferred financing costs within long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations over the term of the notes. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility as of March 31, 2019. ~~In April 2019, we borrowed on our Credit Facility to repay the $350.0 million of our 6% senior notes due April 2021. See Note 12 (“Subsequent Events”) for further details of the redemption.~~

The 2027 Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. except pursuant to a registration exemption under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

6. Derivatives

We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in the variable interest rate of the ~~Partnership~~ Credit Facility. We use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in this variable interest rate and thereby minimize the risks and costs associated with financial activities. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

At ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, ~~we were a party to~~ the following interest rate swaps, ~~which were~~ entered into to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the associated variable interest rates, were outstanding (in millions):

Expiration Date	Notional Value	~~Notional Value~~
May 2019		$	100
May 2020	$	100
May 2020		100
March 2022	300
March 2022		300
	$	400
		$	500

The counterparties to our derivative agreements are major financial institutions. We monitor the credit quality of these financial institutions and do not expect non-performance by any counterparty, although such non-performance could have a material adverse effect on us. We have no ~~specific~~ collateral posted for ~~our~~the derivative instruments.

We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedging instruments and so any change in their fair value is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction affects earnings. At that time, amounts are reclassified into earnings to interest expense, net, the same statement of operations line item to which the earnings effect of the hedged item is recorded. Cash flows from derivatives designated as hedges are classified in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows under the same category as the cash flows from the underlying assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions, unless the derivative contract contains a significant financing element; in this case, the cash settlements for these derivatives are classified as cash flows from financing activities.17

WeTable expect the hedging relationship to be highly effective as the swap terms substantially coincide with the hedged item and are expected to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the variable rate. We perform quarterly qualitative prospective and retrospective hedge effectiveness assessments unless facts and circumstances related to the hedging relationships change such that we can no longer assert qualitatively that the cash flow hedge relationships were and continue to be highly effective. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we performed a quantitative assessment of hedge effectiveness. The results indicated the interest rate swap cash flow hedge relationship was and continues to be highly effective. We estimate that $2.4 million of the deferred gain attributable to interest rate swaps included in accumulated other comprehensive income at March 31, 2019 will be reclassified into earnings as interest income at then-current values during the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transactions occur.Contents

We estimate that $0.3 million of the deferred gain attributable to interest rate swaps included in accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2019 will be reclassified into earnings as interest income at then-current values during the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transactions occur.

As of June 30, 2019, the weighted average effective fixed interest rate on our interest rate swaps was 1.8%.

7. Fair Value Measurements

The accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three categories:

• Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which we have access at the date of measurement.

• Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.

• Level 3 — Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect our own assumptions regarding how market participants would price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

On a quarterly basis, our interest rate swaps are valued based on the income approach (discounted cash flow) using market observable inputs, including London Interbank Offered Rate forward curves. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2. ~~Our~~The following table presents our interest rate ~~swap~~swaps ~~assets~~asset and liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with pricing levels as of ~~March 31,~~the ~~2019~~date ~~and~~of ~~December 31,~~valuation ~~2018~~(in ~~were $4.1 million and $7.3 million, respectively.~~thousands):

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, we recorded non-recurring fair value measurements related to our idle and previously-culled compressor units. Our estimate of the compressor units’ fair value was primarily based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold and/or a review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use. We discounted the expected proceeds, net of selling and other carrying costs, using a weighted average disposal period of four years. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 3. The fair value of our impaired compressor units was $0.38 million and $1.0 million at ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. See Note 8 (“Long-Lived Asset Impairment”) for further details.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of our cash, receivables and payables approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

The carrying amount of borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate. The fair value of these outstanding borrowings was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, which are Level 3 inputs.

Table of Contents

The fair value of our fixed rate debt was estimated based on quoted prices in inactive markets and is considered a Level 2 measurement. The following table summarizes the carrying amount and fair value of our fixed rate debt (in thousands):

⁽¹⁾	Carrying amounts are shown net of unamortized debt discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs. See Note 4 (“Long-Term Debt”).

8. Long-Lived Asset Impairment

We review long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangibles that are being amortized, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, including the removal of compressor units from our active fleet, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

We periodically review the future deployment of our idle compression assets for units that are not of the type, configuration, condition, make or model that are cost efficient to maintain and operate. Based on these reviews, we determine that certain idle compressor units should be retired from the active fleet. The retirement of these units from the active fleet triggers a review of these assets for impairment and as a result of our review, we may record an asset impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value. The fair value of each unit is estimated based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold, a review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use.

In connection with our review of our idle compression assets, we evaluate for impairment idle units that were culled from our fleet in prior years and are available for sale. Based on that review, we may reduce the expected proceeds from disposition and record additional impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value.

9. Income Taxes

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, we believe it is reasonably possible that $1.2 million of our unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties and interest, will be reduced prior to ~~March 31~~June 30, 2020 due to the settlement of audits or the expiration of statutes of limitations or both. However, due to the uncertain and complex application of the tax regulations, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters may result in liabilities which could materially differ from this estimate.

10. Partners’ Capital

Merger Transaction

In April 2018, Archrock completed the acquisition of all of our outstanding common units and we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Archrock. Additionally, all outstanding treasury units were retired and our incentive distribution rights, all of which were previously owned by Archrock prior to the Merger, were canceled and ceased to exist. As a result of the Merger, our common units are no longer publicly traded. Our 6%2021 Notes and 2022 Notes were not impacted by the Merger.

Prior to the Merger, ~~at March 31, 2018,~~ public unitholders held a 57% ownership interest in us and Archrock owned our remaining equity interests, including 29,064,637 common units and 1,422,458 general partner units, collectively representing a 43% interest.

Table of Contents

Cash Distributions

As of the closing of the Merger, any distributions are paid to Archrock as the owner of all outstanding common and general partner units. On ~~April~~July 2629, 2019, our board of directors approved a cash distribution of $0.243075 per common unit, or approximately $1722.20 million, to be paid to Archrock on ~~May~~August 14, 2019.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance Matters

Our business can be hazardous, involving unforeseen circumstances such as uncontrollable flows of natural gas or well fluids and fires or explosions. Archrock insures our property and operations against many, but not all, of these risks. We believe that our insurance coverage is customary for the industry and adequate for our business; however, losses and liabilities not covered by insurance would increase our costs.

In addition, Archrock is substantially self-insured for worker’s compensation, employer’s liability, property, auto liability, general liability and employee group health claims in view of the relatively high per-incident deductibles it absorbs under its insurance arrangements for these risks. Losses up to the deductible amounts are estimated and accrued based upon known facts, historical trends and industry averages.

Table of Contents

Tax Matters

We are subject to a number of state and local taxes that are not income-based. As many of these taxes are subject to audit by the taxing authorities, it is possible that an audit could result in additional taxes due. We accrue for such additional taxes when we determine that it is probable that we have incurred a liability and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the liability. As of each of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we accrued $3.2 million for the outcomes of non-income -based tax audits. We do not expect that the ultimate resolutions of these audits will result in a material variance from the amounts accrued. We do not accrue for unasserted claims for tax audits unless we believe the assertion of a claim is probable, it is probable that it will be determined that the claim is owed and we can reasonably estimate the claim or range of the claim. We believe the likelihood is remote that the impact of potential unasserted claims from non-income -based tax audits could be material to our consolidated financial position, but it is possible that the resolution of future audits could be material to our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

Litigation and Claims

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. While management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, it believes that any ultimate liability arising from any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows~~, including our ability to make cash distributions to Archrock~~. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation and arbitration proceedings, we cannot provide assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding to which we are a party will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, ~~and~~ results of operations or cash flows.

~~12. Subsequent Events~~ 21

On April 5, 2019, we borrowed on the Credit Facility to repay our 6% senior notes due April 2021. The notes were redeemed at 100% of their $350.0 million aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest of $0.2 million. We will record a debt extinguishment loss of approximately $3.7 million in the second quarter related to the redemption.

Revenue. The increase in revenue during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 was primarily due to an 8% increase in ~~average~~contract ~~operating~~operations ~~horsepower~~rates ~~and~~driven by an increase in ~~contract~~customer ~~operations~~demand ~~rates~~as ~~driven~~well byas an increase in ~~customer~~average ~~demand~~operating horsepower.

Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization). The increase in cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 was primarily driven by increases in maintenance, freight and lube oil expense associated with the increase in average operating horsepower.

Selling, general and administrative. SG&A is primarily comprised of an allocation of expenses, including costs for personnel support and related expenditures, from Archrock to us pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement. The increase in SG&A ~~expense~~ was primarily due to an increase in costs allocated to us by Archrock, partially offset by ~~decreases~~a decrease in ~~professional expense and~~ bad debt expense. The increase in costs allocated to us by Archrock was driven by an overall increase in SG&A ~~expense~~ incurred by Archrock and an increase in our available horsepower as compared to the combined available horsepower of Archrock and us.

Depreciation and amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 was primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense associated with fixed asset additions and assets purchased from Archrock, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense resulting from certain assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives as well as the impact of asset impairments during 2018 and early 2019.

Long-lived asset impairment. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 and 2018, we reviewed the future deployment of our idle compression assets for units that were not of the type, configuration, condition, make or model that are cost efficient to maintain and operate. In addition, we evaluated for impairment idle units that had been culled from our fleet in prior years and were available for sale. See Note 8 (“Long-Lived Asset Impairment”) to our Financial Statements for further details.

Interest expense, net. The increase in interest expense, net during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 was primarily due to an increase in the average outstanding balance of long-term debt, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average effective interest rate ~~and $0~~.~~2 million of interest income earned on the loan receivable due from Archrock during the three months ended March 31, 2019.~~

Other income, net. The increase in other income, net during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to income of $0.3 million related to equipment damaged at a customer site during the six months ended June 30, 2019, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in the gain on sale of property, plant and equipment.

Provision for income taxes. The increase in provision for income taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to the release of an unrecognized tax benefit due to the settlement of a tax audit during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The proposed Elite Acquisition may require significant time and attention of our management, and we may not achieve the intended benefits of the transaction as and when expected, or at all. Difficulties with the integration of the Elite Compression business and workforce could have an adverse effect on our business.

On June 23, 2019, Archrock entered into an asset purchase agreement with Elite Compression pursuant to which Archrock will acquire from Elite Compression substantially all of its assets, liabilities and workforce for aggregate consideration of $205.0 million cash and 21,656,683 newly-issued shares of Archrock common stock. The Elite Acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019, subject to certain customary closing conditions and the consummation of the Harvest Sale. See Note 1 (“Organization and Basis of Presentation”) to our Financial Statements for further details of these transactions.

The integration of Elite Compression will continue to require significant expense, time and the attention of our management, which may divert resources away from the operation of our business and the execution of our other strategic initiatives. In addition, Archrock will operate a larger combined organization and the difficulties associated with integrating the acquired assets, infrastructure and personnel into its existing operations may require additional time or expense. We do not have any of our own employees, but rather rely on Archrock’s employees to operate our business. Archrock’s and Elite Compression’s employees may be uncertain about their future roles within Archrock pending the completion of the Elite Acquisition, which could lead to departures and increased expenses related to hiring and training new employees. Further, if the Elite Acquisition is completed, we may not realize the benefits we expect to realize. Any such difficulties could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Further, we may not be successful in integrating the proposed Elite Acquisition into our existing operations within our anticipated timeframe, which may result in unforeseen operational difficulties and expenses, diminish our financial performance or require a disproportionate amount of our management’s attention to address. In addition, the acquired business or assets may perform at levels below the levels Archrock anticipated at the time of acquiring such business or assets due to factors beyond its control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the proposed Elite Acquisition will deliver the benefits anticipated by us, and any failure to create such benefits may result in a negative impact to, or material adverse effect on, our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The proposed Elite Acquisition will result in our dependence on Hilcorp for a significant portion of our revenue. The loss of business with Hilcorp or the inability or failure of Hilcorp to meet its payment obligations may adversely affect our financial results.

In connection with the proposed Elite Acquisition, Elite Compression’s contract operations services agreements will transfer to us and we expect that Hilcorp, the primary customer of Elite Compression, will account for a significant portion of our future revenue.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, Hilcorp accounted for approximately 1% of our revenue. If the Elite Acquisition is completed, we estimate that Hilcorp will become one of our most significant customers. Any loss of business from Hilcorp, unless offset by additional contract compression services revenue from other customers, or the inability or failure of Hilcorp to meet its payment obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
