Exterran Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2019 Results
Record Revenue since the Spin Operating Results In-Line with Expectations Repurchased Over One Million Shares during the Quarter
HOUSTON, Aug. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exterran Corporation (NYSE: EXTN) (“Exterran” or the “Company”) today reported second quarter financial results.
Andrew Way, Exterran’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “It was another strong execution quarter for the company as we delivered record total company revenue and adjusted EBITDA, which included generating $35 million in cash flow from operations. Inquiries for our products and services remains strong, but capital discipline within the energy industry continues to put pressure on the release of orders for projects by our customers. Despite orders for the second quarter coming in lighter than expected, the third quarter was off to a stronger start, as orders we anticipated in June have materialized.
“Under the current authorization we repurchased 1,021,578 shares at an average price of $13.83 per share during the second quarter.”
Net loss from continuing operations was $14.8 million, or $0.42 per share, on revenue of $390.9 million for the second quarter of 2019. This compares to net loss from continuing operations of $5.6 million, or $0.16 per share, on revenue of $351.4 million for the first quarter of 2019 and net loss from continuing operations of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per share, on revenue of $343.5 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net loss was $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2019, as compared to net loss of $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2019 and net income of $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. EBITDA, as adjusted, was $53.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, as compared to $50.2 million for the first quarter of 2019 and $51.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. Loss before taxes was $4.2 million as compared to income before taxes of $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2019 and $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2018.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $45.6 million in the second quarter of 2019, as compared with $43.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $44.4 million in the second quarter of 2018. The company also recorded restructuring charges of $5.8 million, with the purpose of driving efficiencies across the organization given the focus on improving returns and cash flows.
Contract Operations Segment Contract operations revenue in the second quarter of 2019 was $89.7 million, a 5% increase from first quarter of 2019 revenue of $85.7 million and a 2% decrease from second quarter of 2018 revenue of $91.5 million.
Contract operations gross margin in the second quarter of 2019 was $59.3 million, as compared to gross margin of $57.1 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $59.1 million in the second quarter of 2018. Gross margin percentage in the second quarter of 2019 was 66%, as compared with 67% in the first quarter of 2019 and 65% in the second quarter of 2018.
Revenue increased sequentially driven by the commencement of a project in the Middle East, while margins remained relatively flat.
Aftermarket Services Segment Aftermarket services revenue in the second quarter of 2019 was $30.1 million, a 10% increase from first quarter of 2019 revenue of $27.3 million and a 7% decrease from second quarter of 2018 revenue of $32.3 million.
Aftermarket services gross margin in the second quarter of 2019 was $9.1 million, a 38% increase from the first quarter of 2019 gross margin of $6.6 million and a 6% increase from the second quarter of 2018 gross margin of $8.6 million. Gross margin percentage in the second quarter of 2019 was 30%, as compared with 24% in the first quarter of 2019 and 27% in the second quarter of 2018.
The sequential increase in revenue was partially due to the lessening of the seasonal impact we experienced in first quarter along with an increase in parts sales during the quarter. The increase in gross margin sequentially is largely due to better mix of business during the quarter.
Product Sales Segment Product sales revenue in the second quarter of 2019 was $271.1 million, a 14% increase from first quarter of 2019 revenue of $238.4 million, and a 23% increase from second quarter of 2018 revenue of $219.7 million.
Product sales gross margin in the second quarter of 2019 was $30.5 million, a 5% increase from first quarter of 2019 gross margin of $28.9 million and a 9% increase as compared to the second quarter of 2018 gross margin of $28.0 million. Gross margin percentage in the second quarter of 2019 was 11%, as compared with 12% in the first quarter of 2019 and 13% in the second quarter of 2018.
The revenue increase was driven by strong execution on our products backlog. Gross margins declined slightly as the mix towards compression increased.
Product sales backlog was $361.7 million at June 30, 2019, as compared to $553.5 million at March 31, 2019 and $634.9 million at June 30, 2018. Product sales bookings for the second quarter of 2019 were $79.3 million, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 29%. This compares to bookings of $86.2 million for the first quarter of 2019 and bookings of $439.7 million for the second quarter of 2018. The second quarter of 2018 included a $200 million order for a Middle East project.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Information Gross margin is defined as revenue less cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense). Gross margin percentage is defined as gross margin divided by revenue. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on gross margin for each segment.
EBITDA, as adjusted, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income (loss) excluding income (loss) from discontinued operations (net of tax), cumulative effect of accounting changes (net of tax), income taxes, interest expense (including debt extinguishment costs), depreciation and amortization expense, impairment charges, restructuring and other charges, non-cash gains or losses from foreign currency exchange rate changes recorded on intercompany obligations, expensed acquisition costs and other items. EBITDA, as adjusted, excludes the benefit of the two previously announced sales of our Venezuelan assets.
Adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations and diluted adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations per common share, non-GAAP measures, are defined as net income (loss) and earnings per share, excluding the impact of income (loss) from discontinued operations (net of tax), cumulative effect of accounting changes (net of tax), impairment charges (net of tax), restructuring and other charges (net of tax), the benefit of the previously announced sale of our joint ventures’ Venezuelan assets, the effect of income tax adjustments that are outside of the Company’s anticipated effective tax rates and other items.
See tables below for additional information concerning non-GAAP financial information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial information presented in this press release to the most directly comparable financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information supplements should be read together with, and are not an alternative or substitute for, the Company’s financial results reported in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP financial information is not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

(1) Management evaluates the performance of each of the Company’s segments based on gross margin. Total gross margin, a non-GAAP measure, is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary measure used by our management to evaluate the results of revenue and cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), which are key components of our operations. Management believes total gross margin is important supplemental information for investors because it focuses on the current performance of our operations and excludes the impact of the prior historical costs of the assets acquired or constructed that are utilized in those operations, the indirect costs associated with our SG&A activities, the impact of our financing methods, restatement related charges (recoveries), restructuring and other charges and income taxes. In addition, the inclusion of depreciation and amortization expense may not accurately reflect the costs required to maintain and replenish the operational usage of our assets and therefore may not portray the costs from current operating activity.
(2) Management believes EBITDA, as adjusted, is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare our core operating results from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), our subsidiaries’ capital structure (non-cash gains or losses from foreign currency exchange rate changes on intercompany obligations), tax consequences, impairment charges, restatement related charges (recoveries), restructuring and other charges, expensed acquisition costs and other items. Management uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. In addition, the Company's compensation committee has used EBITDA, as adjusted, in evaluating the performance of the Company and management and in evaluating certain components of executive compensation, including performance-based annual incentive programs.
(3) The tax impacts of adjustments were based on the Company’s statutory tax rates applicable to each item in the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. Using statutory tax rates for presentation of the non-GAAP measures allows a consistent basis for investors to understand financial performance of the Company across historical periods. The overall effective tax rate on adjustments was impacted by the inability to recognize tax benefits from charges in jurisdictions that are in cumulative-loss positions.
(4) Management believes adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations and diluted adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations per common share provides useful information to investors because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare our core operating results from period to period by removing the impact of impairment charges, restructuring and other charges, restatement related charges (recoveries), expensed acquisition costs and other items not appropriately reflective of our core business.
(5) Diluted adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations per common share, was computed using the two-class method to determine the net income (loss) per share for each class of common stock and participating security (certain of our restricted stock and restricted stock units) according to participation rights in undistributed earnings.
