Distributable cash flow (as defined below) totaled $29.5 million for the third quarter 2012, compared to $27.3 million for the second quarter 2012 and $25.7 million for the third quarter 2011.

EBITDA, as further adjusted, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income (loss) excluding income taxes, interest expense (including debt extinguishment costs and gain or loss on termination of interest rate swaps), depreciation and amortization expense, impairment charges, other charges, non-cash selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs and any amounts by which cost of sales and SG&A costs are reduced as a result of caps on these costs contained in the omnibus agreement to which Exterran Holdings and Exterran Partners are parties (the “Omnibus Agreement”), which amounts are treated as capital contributions from Exterran Holdings for accounting purposes.
Distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expense, impairment charges, non-cash SG&A costs, interest expense and any amounts by which cost of sales and SG&A costs are reduced as a result of caps on these costs contained in the Omnibus Agreement, which amounts are treated as capital contributions from Exterran Holdings for accounting purposes, less cash interest expense (excluding amortization of deferred financing fees and costs incurred to terminate interest rate swaps early) and maintenance capital expenditures, and excluding gains/losses on asset sales and other charges.
Gross Margin, as adjusted, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as total revenue less cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) plus any amounts by which cost of sales are reduced as a result of caps on these costs contained in the Omnibus Agreement, which amounts are treated as capital contributions from Exterran Holdings for accounting purposes.

(1) Management believes disclosure of EBITDA, as further adjusted, and Gross Margin, as adjusted, both non-GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors because these measures, when viewed with our GAAP results and accompanying reconciliations, 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, management uses EBITDA, as further adjusted, 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 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.
