Exterran Holdings and Exterran Partners Report
Third Quarter 2009 Results

HOUSTON, November 5, 2009 – Exterran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EXH) and Exterran Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: EXLP) today reported financial results for the third quarter 2009.

Exterran Holdings, Inc. Financial Results

Exterran Holdings reported net income attributable to Exterran stockholders for the third quarter 2009 of $18.2 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders for the second quarter 2009 of $530.8 million, or $8.66 per diluted share, and net income attributable to Exterran stockholders for the third quarter 2008 of $37.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share.

Net income from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders for the third quarter 2009 was $24.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, excluding pretax charges that totaled $3.6 million, including a $2.6 million restructuring charge related to the consolidation of our fabrication facilities in North America and a $1.0 million charge related to our investments in non-consolidated affiliates in Venezuela.  Due to the expropriation of our assets and operations in Venezuela, our Venezuelan contract operations and aftermarket services businesses are reflected as discontinued operations in our current and prior period financial results.

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, and net income from continuing operations for the third quarter 2008 attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding charges, was $24.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share.

Revenue was $679.7 million for the third quarter 2009, compared to $678.0 million for the second quarter 2009 and $756.3 million for the third quarter 2008.  EBITDA, as adjusted (as defined below), was $161.1 million for the third quarter 2009, compared to $151.4 million for the second quarter 2009 and $172.4 million for the third quarter 2008.

Ernie L. Danner, Exterran Holdings’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am pleased with our overall performance in the third quarter despite challenging industry conditions.  With solid execution by our operating and support groups, we generated a strong level of cash flow and reduced our debt balances by $124 million.  We also commenced the operation of two new contract operations projects in the Eastern Hemisphere in early October, and have a significant backlog of international contract operations projects scheduled to begin operations through mid-2010.

“Although we are encouraged by the recent increase in North American natural gas prices, we expect continuing overall weak market conditions and, in particular, declining activity levels for our North America contract operations business into 2010.  We expect our net capital expenditures to be $200 million to $300 million in 2010, down from approximately $375 million to $400 million in 2009.  Building on our third quarter success, we expect to generate positive cash flow after capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2009 and in 2010.”

On October 30, 2009, Exterran Partners announced a cash distribution of $0.4625 per limited partner unit for the third quarter 2009, the same level as in the second quarter 2009 and the third quarter 2008.

(1) Management believes disclosure of EBITDA, as adjusted, and Gross Margin, both 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 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.

(1) Management believes disclosure of EBITDA, as adjusted, diluted income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders per common share, excluding charges, and Gross Margin, 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 adjusted, diluted income per common share from continuing operations, excluding charges, 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.

(1) Management believes disclosure of EBITDA, as further adjusted, and Gross Margin, as adjusted, both 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, 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.
