HOUSTON, August 5, 2014 – Exterran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EXH) today reported EBITDA, as adjusted (as defined below), of $161.1 million for the second quarter 2014, compared to $144.8 million for the first quarter 2014 and $176.1 million for the second quarter 2013.
Revenue was $739.3 million for the second quarter 2014, compared to $643.0 million for the first quarter 2014 and $835.9 million for the second quarter 2013.
Fabrication backlog was $818.1 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $669.1 million at March 31, 2014 and $746.5 million at June 30, 2013. Fabrication bookings were $471.6 million for the second quarter 2014, compared to $276.6 million for the first quarter 2014 and $209.0 million for the second quarter 2013.
Exterran Holdings has declared a dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock, a rate of $0.60 per share on an annualized basis, to be paid on August 18, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 11, 2014.
“We achieved solid quarterly operating performance in the second quarter 2014, strong organic horsepower growth in our North America contract operations business and the highest level of bookings in our fabrication business in two years. Our North America contract operations gross margin was 57 percent, due in large part to the recent acquisition of compression assets from MidCon Compression, L.L.C. and improving operating performance. Our fabrication business performed solidly and achieved robust bookings; however, a warranty expense accrual of $11 million for a prior-period project in North America reduced our fabrication gross margin percentage by 4 percent,” said Brad Childers, Exterran Holdings’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to be optimistic about our opportunity set in North America and international markets, and we are pleased with Exterran Partners’ recently announced agreement to acquire additional compression assets from MidCon,” added Childers.
Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding items, for all periods excludes the benefit of proceeds from the two previously announced sales of Exterran Holdings’ nationalized Venezuelan assets, the benefit of which was $23.0 million for the second quarter 2014, compared to $22.7 million for the first quarter 2014 and $4.7 million for the second quarter 2013.
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding items, for the second quarter 2014 was $4.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share. In addition to excluding the benefit related to our nationalized Venezuelan assets discussed above, these amounts also exclude pretax charges of $10.2 million due primarily to non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges related to our North America contract operations business. These results included a higher effective tax rate as compared to the prior quarter and prior-year period as a result of charges totaling $5.7 million related primarily to valuation allowances recorded against prior years’ net operating losses in certain foreign jurisdictions.
Net income from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding items, for the first quarter 2014 was $13.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share, and net income from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding items, for the second quarter 2013 was $20.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share.
Net income attributable to Exterran stockholders for the second quarter 2014 was $12.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, compared to net income attributable to Exterran stockholders for the first quarter 2014 of $32.6 million, or $0.47 per diluted common share, and net income attributable to Exterran stockholders for the second quarter 2013 of $9.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share.
The cash distribution to be received by Exterran Holdings based upon its limited partner and general partner interests in Exterran Partners, L.P. was $14.0 million for the second quarter 2014, compared to $13.7 million for the first quarter 2014 and $12.4 million for the second quarter 2013.
