Exterran Holdings Reports Third-Quarter 2015 Results

  • Spin-off of international services and global fabrication businesses expected to close today
  • EBITDA, as adjusted, of $155 million for the quarter, compared to $171 million for the third quarter 2014

Exterran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EXH) today reported EBITDA, as adjusted (as defined below), of $155.1 million for the third quarter 2015, compared to $162.5 million for the second quarter 2015 and $170.6 million for the third quarter 2014.

Revenue was $649.5 million for the third quarter 2015, compared to $683.8 million for the second quarter 2015 and $723.8 million for the third quarter 2014.

Fabrication backlog was $516.2 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $600.5 million at June 30, 2015 and $839.9 million at September 30, 2014. Bookings were $177.0 million for the third quarter 2015, compared to $149.6 million for the second quarter 2015 and $334.2 million for the third quarter 2014.

On October 18, 2015, Exterran Holdings declared a regular dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock, a rate of $0.60 per share on an annualized basis, which was paid on October 30, 2015, to stockholders of record at the close of business on October 26, 2015.

“Despite challenging market conditions, we achieved solid performance across all our businesses in the third quarter 2015,” said Brad Childers, Exterran Holdings’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our production-related services businesses demonstrated a relatively stable top line and consistent gross margins, and our fabrication business captured a modest increase in bookings compared to the second quarter.

“Later today we expect to complete the separation transaction we announced in November 2014. This separation will allow both the U.S. services business and the international services and global fabrication businesses to capture more profit and growth, as well as generate more value for investors.”

During the third quarter of 2015, as a result of currency devaluation in Brazil and increases in the company’s Brazil subsidiary’s intercompany payables, Exterran recorded non-cash currency losses of $26.7 million. These currency losses, which are excluded from EBITDA, as adjusted, are included in other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and, as a result, impact net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding items per diluted common share ($0.39 per share impact in the third quarter).

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’ previously-nationalized Venezuelan assets, the benefit of which was $24.0 million for the third quarter 2015, compared to $5.1 million for the second quarter 2015 and $23.2 million for the third quarter 2014. At September 30, 2015, Exterran was still due to receive approximately $96 million of principal payments from the sales of these assets. In October 2015, Exterran received an installment payment of $19.1 million related to the sale of its Venezuelan wholly-owned assets. Exterran has not recognized amounts payable to the company from PDVSA Gas relating to the sales of our previously nationalized assets and, therefore, this income will be recognized as income from discontinued operations in the fourth quarter 2015 when the proceeds were received.

Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding items, for the third quarter 2015 was $30.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted common share. In addition to excluding the benefit related to our nationalized Venezuelan assets discussed above, these amounts also exclude a $20.7 million tax benefit recognized for the credit for increasing research activities, non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges of $23.7 million related to our contract operations businesses and restructuring and other charges of $12.0 million, which included costs associated with the planned spin-off and our cost reduction plan driven by current market conditions. Net income from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding items, was $15.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2015, and $17.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2014.

Net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders was $6.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2015. Net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders was $1.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2015, and net income attributable to Exterran stockholders was $34.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2014.

The cash distribution to be received by Exterran Holdings based upon its limited partner and general partner interests in Exterran Partners, L.P. is $18.9 million for the third quarter 2015, compared to $18.5 million for the second quarter 2015 and $14.8 million for the third quarter 2014.
