Exterran Holdings and Exterran Partners Report
First-Quarter 2012 Results

HOUSTON, May 3, 2012 – Exterran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EXH) and Exterran Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: EXLP) today reported financial results for the first quarter 2012.

Exterran Holdings, Inc. Financial Results
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders for the first quarter 2012 was $26.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, excluding a benefit of $37.6 million from the cash proceeds of joint venture assets sold in Venezuela and pretax charges totaling $7.6 million, comprised primarily of long-lived asset impairment and restructuring charges.  Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding charges, for the fourth quarter 2011 was $8.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, and net loss from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding charges, for the first quarter 2011 was $27.9 million, or $0.45 per diluted share.

Exterran Holdings reported net income attributable to Exterran stockholders for the first quarter 2012 of $5.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders for the fourth quarter 2011 of $66.6 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, and a net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders for the first quarter 2011 of $30.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share.

Revenue was $626.5 million for the first quarter 2012, compared to $702.9 million for the fourth quarter 2011 and $618.5 million for the first quarter 2011.  EBITDA, as adjusted (as defined below), was $96.1 million for the first quarter 2012, compared to $118.8 million for the fourth quarter 2011 and $96.1 million for the first quarter 2011.

“Exterran Holdings recorded better-than-expected operating performance and increased fabrication backlog levels in the first quarter 2012,” said Brad Childers, Exterran Holdings’ President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Driven primarily by the scheduling of our fabrication backlog, total revenues are expected to increase in the second half of the year. We are continuing to implement several initiatives to improve our overall performance and create value for our stockholders.”

“In the near term, recent lower natural gas prices in North America will pose a challenge to activity levels in our contract operations business, in primarily dry gas producing areas.  In the intermediate and long term, we remain optimistic about growth opportunities as a result of the role of natural gas as a readily available and cost-effective source of energy.

“We are pleased with the previously announced sale of our joint venture assets in Venezuela.  We received the initial cash payment of $37.6 million in March 2012 and are due to receive an additional approximately $74.8 million in periodic cash payments through the first quarter 2016 related to this sale.  The sale proceeds, which were used to reduce debt at the Exterran Holdings level, positively impacted our cash flows, liquidity position and compliance with debt covenants,” added Childers.

Exterran Partners, L.P. Financial Results
Exterran Partners reported revenue of $88.7 million for the first quarter 2012, compared to $83.3 million for the fourth quarter 2011 and $68.7 million for the first quarter 2011.  Net income was $4.5 million for the first quarter 2012, or $0.09 per diluted limited partner unit, compared to net income of $4.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted limited partner unit, for the fourth quarter 2011, and net income of $0.2 million, or a loss of $0.01 per diluted limited partner unit, for the first quarter 2011.

Exterran Partners’ EBITDA, as further adjusted (as defined below), totaled $40.0 million for the first quarter 2012, compared to $37.5 million for the fourth quarter 2011 and $31.2 million for the first quarter 2011.  Distributable cash flow (as defined below) totaled $26.9 million for the first quarter 2012, compared to $24.5 million for the fourth quarter 2011 and $21.1 million for the first quarter 2011.

“In the first quarter 2012, Exterran Partners expanded its leading market position with the acquisition of compression and processing assets from Exterran Holdings.  In March 2012, we amended our senior secured credit facility to increase its size by an additional $200 million to $900 million. This additional debt capacity will enable us to finance the organic growth of our compression services business and position us for future acquisitions,” said Childers, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Exterran Partners’ managing general partner.

For the first quarter 2012, Exterran Partners’ quarterly cash distribution was $0.4975 per limited partner unit, or $1.99 per limited partner unit on an annualized basis. The first-quarter 2012 distribution was $0.005 per limited partner unit higher than the fourth-quarter 2011 distribution of $0.4925 per limited partner unit and $0.02 per limited partner unit higher than the first-quarter 2011 distribution of $0.4775 per limited partner unit.

(1) Management believes disclosure of EBITDA, as adjusted, and Gross Margin, both non-GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors because, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, they provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. In addition, EBITDA, as adjusted, is used by management as a valuation measure.

(1) Management believes disclosure of EBITDA, as adjusted, diluted net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders per common share, excluding charges, and Gross Margin, non-GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors because, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, they provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. In addition, EBITDA, as adjusted, is used by management as a valuation measure.
 
   
(2) The weighted average per common shares outstanding in the diluted income (loss) calculation, excluding charges for the three months ended March 31, 2012 includes adjustments to exclude the following shares that are included in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share as the effects would have been anti-dilutive: 1,330,000 shares of unvested restricted stock, 54,000 shares on the exercise of options and vesting of restricted stock units and 27,000 shares on the settlement of employee stock purchase plan shares.

(1) Management believes disclosure of EBITDA, as further adjusted, and Gross Margin, as adjusted, both non-GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors because, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, they provide a more complete understanding of our performance than GAAP results alone.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. In addition, EBITDA, as further adjusted, is used by management as a valuation measure.
 
   
(2) Distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is a significant liquidity metric used by management to compare basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions.
