August 4, 2011

HOUSTON, Aug 04, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Exterran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EXH) and Exterran Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: EXLP) today reported financial results for the second quarter 2011 and announced the pending departure of current President and Chief Executive Officer Ernie L. Danner.

Exterran Holdings, Inc. Financial Results

Exterran Holdings reported a net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders for the second quarter 2011 of $28.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders for the first quarter 2011 of $30.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, and net income attributable to Exterran stockholders for the second quarter 2010 of $17.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share.

Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding charges, for the second quarter 2011 was $26.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders for the first quarter 2011 was $27.9 million, or $0.45 per diluted share. Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding charges, for the second quarter 2010 was $20.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share.

Revenue was $657.6 million for the second quarter 2011, compared to $618.5 million for the first quarter 2011 and $643.8 million for the second quarter 2010. EBITDA, as adjusted (as defined below), was $87.2 million for the second quarter 2011, compared to $94.3 million for the first quarter 2011 and $117.8 million for the second quarter 2010.

"Exterran Holdings' second quarter results reflected disappointing performance in international markets which offset improving activity levels in North America. Internationally, operating expenses were higher than expected and new business activity remained at relatively low levels. In North America, overall demand for our products and services remains strong in liquids rich plays, which has led to a solid level of bookings for all our product lines," said Ernie L. Danner, Exterran Holdings' President and Chief Executive Officer.

"In July 2011, Exterran Holdings executed a new, five-year, $1.1 billion senior secured revolving credit facility that matures in July 2016, replacing its former senior secured credit facility. We expect this new facility to provide us with financial flexibility to continue our drop-down strategy with Exterran Partners and provide capital to help us further grow our business," said J. Michael Anderson, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Exterran Holdings.

Exterran Holdings, Inc. Financial Guidance and Outlook for Remainder of 2011

Exterran Holdings also announced today that it expects to fall short of its 2011 goal of 5% or more growth in EBITDA.

"While we expect that North American operating results will lead us in achieving overall revenue growth of at least 5% over 2010 results, company profitability will fall short of our target due to lower than anticipated revenue and profit margins in our international businesses. Although we expect that both third and fourth quarter gross margin dollars will be improvements over second quarter results, we expect EBITDA in 2011 will be lower than 2010 levels," said Mr. Danner.

Exterran Partners, L.P. Financial Results

Exterran Partners reported revenue of $71.8 million for the second quarter 2011, compared to $68.7 million for the first quarter 2011 and $53.8 million for the second quarter 2010. Net loss was $1.9 million for the second quarter 2011, or $0.08 per diluted limited partner unit, compared to net income of $0.2 million, or a loss of $0.01 per diluted limited partner unit, for the first quarter 2011, and a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted limited partner unit, for the second quarter 2010.

Exterran Partners' EBITDA, as further adjusted (as defined below), totaled $32.0 million for the second quarter 2011, compared to $31.2 million for the first quarter 2011 and $22.9 million for the second quarter 2010. Distributable cash flow (as defined below) totaled $19.0 million for the second quarter 2011, compared to $21.1 million for the first quarter 2011 and $12.8 million for the second quarter 2010.

"Exterran Partners had a solid operating performance in the second quarter and increased its cash distribution for the fourth consecutive quarter," commented Mr. Danner, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Exterran Partners' managing general partner. "In addition, Exterran Partners further strengthened its leading market position in contract operations and enhanced its distributable cash flow profile with the acquisition of compression and processing assets from Exterran Holdings in June 2011. We remain optimistic about the growth outlook for Exterran Partners and are committed to continuing to increase distributions to unitholders over time."

For the second quarter of 2011, Exterran Partners' quarterly cash distribution will be $0.4825 per limited partner unit, or $1.93 per limited partner unit on an annualized basis. The second quarter 2011 distribution is $0.005 higher than the first quarter 2011 distribution of $0.4775 per limited partner unit and $0.02 higher than the second quarter 2010 distribution of $0.4625 per limited partner unit.

The cash distribution Exterran Holdings will receive for the second quarter 2011 based upon its limited partner and general partner interests in Exterran Partners is approximately $7.1 million.

Pending Departure of President and Chief Executive Officer

Exterran Holdings and Exterran Partners jointly announced the pending departure of Ernie L. Danner, current President and Chief Executive Officer of Exterran Holdings and President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Exterran Partners' managing general partner.

"I am proud of the many accomplishments of the Exterran team over the past three years," said Mr. Danner. "The outstanding efforts of our employees have dramatically improved customer service quality and strengthened our balance sheet. However, I have been disappointed by Exterran Holdings' revenue growth, profitability and financial returns to our shareholders and, as a result, I am stepping down as Chief Executive Officer of both companies. I believe that Exterran possesses numerous opportunities to create value for our customers, employees and shareholders and that the time is right for someone new to lead Exterran in pursuing these opportunities."

"We appreciate Ernie's dedicated service and commitment to Exterran over the past thirteen years," said Gordon Hall, Chairman of the Board of Exterran Holdings. "He has been instrumental in the formation and growth of Exterran and Exterran Partners over that time and we wish him well in his future endeavors. The Exterran Holdings Board of Directors will be leading the search for a new Chief Executive Officer and Ernie has agreed to remain as Chief Executive Officer while the Board conducts a search for his successor."

(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.
