CSI Compressco LP Announces Quarterly Distribution and Schedule for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Results Conference Call

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Jan. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CSI Compressco LP ("CSI Compressco") (NASDAQ: CCLP) announced today that the board of directors of its general partner has declared a cash distribution attributable to the quarter ended December 31, 2018 of $0.01 per outstanding common unit, or $0.04 per outstanding common unit on an annualized basis. This cash distribution is a reduction to the previous quarterly distribution and will be paid on February 14, 2019 to all common unitholders of record as of the close of business on February 1, 2019.

On December 20, 2018, CSI Compressco announced a reduction in its quarterly common unit distributions for a period of up to four quarters. The monthly redemption of Series A Preferred into common units has become unduly dilutive to the existing common unit holders given the recent decline in the unit price of CSI Compressco despite the continued strong business environment.  The Partnership intends to use the approximately $34 million of reduced distributions to redeem the remaining Series A Preferred units for cash and avoid further dilution to the Partnership's common unit holders. The redemption of the Series A Preferred will be completed by the third quarter of 2019, at which time management and the Board will re-evaluate the distribution policy based on business conditions at that time.

CSI Compressco expects to release its fourth quarter and full year 2018 earnings results before the opening of the market on Wednesday, February 27, 2019.  Following the release, CSI Compressco will host a conference call at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the results.  CSI Compressco invites you to listen to the conference call by calling the toll free number 1-866-374-8397. The conference call will also be available by live audio webcast and may be accessed through CSI Compressco's website at www.csicompressco.com. The news release will be available on CSI Compressco's website prior to the conference call.  An audio replay of the conference call will be available at 1-877-344-7529, conference number 10127832 for one week following the conference call and the archived webcast will be available through CSI Compressco's website for thirty days following the conference.
