HOUSTON, Aug 05, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Exterran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:EXH) and Exterran Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ:EXLP) today reported financial results for the second quarter 2010.

Exterran Holdings, Inc. Financial Results

Exterran Holdings reported net income attributable to Exterran stockholders for the second quarter 2010 of $17.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to Exterran stockholders for the first quarter 2010 of $16.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, and a net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders for the second quarter 2009 of $530.8 million, or $8.66 per diluted share.

Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders for the second quarter 2010 was $20.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, excluding after-tax impairment charges of $0.8 million. Net income attributable to Exterran stockholders from discontinued operations during the quarter was $39.0 million, primarily related to the sale of equipment for which the accounting basis had been written down due to the expropriation of our business in Venezuela during 2009. Net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter 2010 attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding charges, was $1.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, and net income from continuing operations for the second quarter 2009 attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding charges, was $24.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share.

Revenue was $643.8 million for the second quarter 2010, compared to $576.3 million for the first quarter 2010 and $678.0 million for the second quarter 2009. EBITDA, as adjusted (as defined below), was $117.8 million for the second quarter 2010, compared to $123.9 million for the first quarter 2010 and $151.4 million for the second quarter 2009.

Ernie L. Danner, Exterran Holdings' President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are encouraged by positive trends in our North America contract operations business and believe our operating horsepower levels will increase in the second half of the year. In our international contract operations business during the second quarter, key events included the startup of two projects in Brazil and the early termination of another project that accelerated approximately $19 million of revenue and approximately $6 million in pretax income. In our fabrication segment, however, we are unsatisfied with our operating results which were negatively impacted by project delays and execution issues on two projects.

We continue to focus on improving customer service and maintaining strong capital discipline. We believe that we are making the appropriate investments in our service infrastructure in order to continue to enhance our customer service levels and support worldwide growth initiatives. We generated significant cash flow and reduced our outstanding debt balance by $63 million in the second quarter. We expect net capital expenditures in 2010 of $225 million to $250 million, as compared to previous guidance of $250 million to $300 million, and the generation of positive operating cash flow after capital expenditures will continue to be a key priority."

Exterran Partners, L.P. Financial Results

Exterran Partners reported revenue of $53.8 million for the second quarter 2010, compared to $52.7 million for the first quarter 2010 and $45.1 million for the second quarter 2009. Net loss was $1.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted limited partner unit, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted limited partner unit, for the first quarter 2010, and net income of $2.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted limited partner unit, for the second quarter 2009.

Exterran Partners' EBITDA, as further adjusted (as defined below), totaled $22.9 million for the second quarter 2010, compared to $22.4 million for the first quarter 2010 and $21.1 million for the second quarter 2009. Distributable cash flow (as defined below) totaled $12.8 million for the second quarter 2010, compared to $14.4 million for the first quarter 2010 and $12.7 million for the second quarter 2009.

"Exterran Partners is beginning to benefit from the positive trends in the North American contract compression market as evidenced during the second quarter by an increase of 32,000 operating horsepower from March 31, 2010 levels," commented Mr. Danner, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Exterran Partners' managing general partner. "In July 2010, Exterran Partners agreed to acquire contracts and compressor units currently totaling approximately 254,000 horsepower from Exterran Holdings for consideration valued at approximately $214 million. This consideration will consist entirely of Exterran Partners' equity, comprised of approximately 8.21 million common units and approximately 167,000 general partner units. The acquisition, anticipated to close in mid-August, is expected to strengthen Exterran Partners' financial position by increasing distributable cash flow and improving its credit profile."

On July 30, 2010, Exterran Partners announced a cash distribution of $0.4625 per limited partner unit for the second quarter 2010, the same level as in the first quarter 2010 and the second quarter 2009. This distribution will be paid on August 13, 2010 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 10, 2010.

Management uses EBITDA, as adjusted, and Gross Margin as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. In addition, EBITDA, as adjusted, is used by management as a valuation measure.

Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions.

(1) Management believes disclosure of EBITDA, as further adjusted, diluted earnings (loss) per limited partner unit, excluding charge, and Gross Margin, as adjusted, non-GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors because, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, they provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone. Management uses EBITDA, as further adjusted, diluted earnings (loss) per limited partner unit, excluding charge, and Gross Margin, as adjusted, as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. In addition, EBITDA, as further adjusted, is used by management as a valuation measure.
(2) Distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is a significant liquidity metric used by management to compare basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions.
