Exterran Holdings, Inc. Financial Results
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders for the third quarter 2011 was $30.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, excluding pretax charges totaling $201.7 million, including a $196.1 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to our fabrication and aftermarket services businesses, a $2.9 million restructuring charge and a $2.3 million non-cash long-lived asset impairment. 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, excluding charges, for the third quarter 2010 was $15.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share.
Exterran Holdings reported a net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders for the third quarter 2011 of $216.0 million, or $3.44 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders for the second quarter 2011 of $28.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, and a net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders for the third quarter 2010 of $18.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share. Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders for the third quarter 2011 included a non-cash pretax foreign currency loss of $14.9 million stemming primarily from the decline in the value of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar related to the re-measurement of our Brazil subsidiary’s U.S. dollar denominated inter-company debt.

“Exterran Holdings’ third-quarter financial results included our highest level of quarterly revenues in more than two years and increased gross margin dollars on a sequential basis. In North America, demand for our products and services remained solid particularly in liquids rich and shale gas areas and we continue to see strong bookings in our production and processing fabrication business lines. In international markets, booking levels remained relatively low although new business activities are encouraging,” said Brad Childers, Exterran Holdings’ Interim President and Chief Executive Officer.
Profit Improvement Program
As an initial step in implementing a profit improvement plan, Exterran Holdings is implementing a workforce cost reduction program across all of its business segments. A vast majority of the identified workforce reductions are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter 2011.
Exterran Holdings is expected to generate annual savings from the workforce cost reduction program of approximately $20 million to $25 million with approximately $10 million to $15 million of those savings within selling, general and administrative expense. Restructuring charges of $2.9 million were incurred during the third quarter 2011 related to consulting services and termination benefits. Exterran Holdings is expected to incur additional charges with respect to the cost reduction program of approximately $11 million to $14 million in the fourth quarter 2011 and into 2012.
