Exterran Holdings Reports Third-Quarter 2014 Results

● EBITDA, as adjusted, of $171 million for the quarter

● Organic growth of 56,000 operating horsepower in North America

● Fabrication backlog of $840 million on $334 million of new bookings

HOUSTON, Nov. 4, 2014 – Exterran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EXH) today reported EBITDA, as adjusted (as defined below), of $170.6 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to $161.1 million for the second quarter 2014 and $157.3 million for the third quarter 2013.

Revenue was $723.8 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to $739.3 million for the second quarter 2014 and $775.6 million for the third quarter 2013.

Fabrication backlog was $839.9 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $818.1 million at June 30, 2014 and $619.4 million at September 30, 2013. Fabrication bookings were $334.2 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to $471.6 million for the second quarter 2014 and $276.2 million for the third 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 November 17, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 10, 2014.

“In the third quarter 2014, we achieved growth in operating horsepower in our North America contract operations business driven by our recent acquisition of compression assets from MidCon Compression, L.L.C. and another strong quarter of organic growth primarily in the shale and liquids rich basins. In addition, we achieved a 20% gross margin in our fabrication business, which had another solid quarter of bookings including natural gas processing projects in the United States,” said Brad Childers, Exterran Holdings’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are optimistic about the outlook for the fourth quarter 2014, although the recent decline in oil prices may have an impact on future industry activity levels,” 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 $23.2 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to $23.0 million for the second quarter 2014 and $22.2 million for the third quarter 2013. At September 30, 2014, we were still due approximately $159 million of principal payments from the sale of these assets.

Net income from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding items, for the third quarter 2014 was $17.8 million, or $0.25 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 $13.5 million due primarily to non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges related to our North America contract operations business. Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding items, was $4.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2014, compared to net income from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding items, of $23.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2013.

Net income attributable to Exterran stockholders was $34.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2014, compared to $12.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2014 and $41.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2013.

The cash distribution to be received by Exterran Holdings based upon its limited partner and general partner interests in Exterran Partners, L.P. was $14.8 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to $14.0 million for the second quarter 2014 and $12.6 million for the third quarter 2013.
