First Quarter 2011 Results

HOUSTON, May 5, 2011 – Exterran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EXH) and Exterran Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: EXLP) today reported financial results for the first quarter 2011.
 
Exterran Holdings, Inc. Financial Results
 
Exterran Holdings reported a net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders for the first quarter 2011 of $30.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders for the fourth quarter 2010 of $118.0 million, or $1.90 per diluted share, and net income attributable to Exterran stockholders for the first quarter 2010 of $16.7 million, or $0.27 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, was $32.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2010 and $1.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2010.
 
Revenue was $618.5 million for the first quarter 2011, compared to $615.8 million for the fourth quarter 2010 and $576.3 million for the first quarter 2010.  EBITDA, as adjusted (as defined below), was $94.3 million for the first quarter 2011, compared to $103.8 million for the fourth quarter 2010 and $123.9 million for the first quarter 2010.
 
Ernie L. Danner, Exterran Holdings’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Revenue increased on a sequential and year-over-year basis driven by strong industry activity in North America, particularly around shale play development.  We expect North America activity to remain strong through 2011 and international demand for our products and services to increase, but the timing of that increase is difficult to predict.  Overall, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from infrastructure development opportunities around the world with our comprehensive, diversified product and service set and geographic footprint.  We were also able to enhance our capital position during the first quarter as Exterran Holdings sold 5.9 million common units representing limited partner interests in Exterran Partners in March 2011 for net proceeds to Exterran Holdings of approximately $162 million.”
 
Exterran Partners, L.P. Financial Results
Exterran Partners reported revenue of $68.7 million for the first quarter 2011, compared to $68.4 million for the fourth quarter 2010 and $52.7 million for the first quarter 2010.  Net income was $0.2 million for the first quarter 2011, or a loss of $0.01 per diluted limited partner unit, compared to a net loss of $23.5 million, or a loss of $0.73 per diluted limited partner unit, for the fourth quarter 2010, and net income of $1.4 million, or net earnings of $0.05 per diluted limited partner unit, for the first quarter 2010.  Net income for the fourth quarter 2010 was $1.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted limited partner unit, excluding a $24.7 million non-cash fleet impairment charge.

“First quarter highlights for Exterran Partners included a solid operating performance and 1.30 times distributable cash flow coverage,” commented Mr. Danner, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Exterran Partners’ managing general partner.  “In March 2011, we obtained an increase in the total commitment under Exterran Partners’ credit facility of $150 million to $700 million, which we believe will enhance our ability to execute our growth strategy and deliver long-term value to our unitholders.”
 
For the first quarter of 2011, Exterran Partners’ quarterly cash distribution is $0.4775 per limited partner unit, or $1.91 per limited partner unit on an annualized basis.

(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.
