NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Exterran Holdings, Inc. (“we” or “Exterran”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted. It is the opinion of management that the information furnished includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.

Correction of Misclassification in the Statement of Cash Flows

We received $162.2 million of net proceeds from the sale of common units of Exterran Partners, L.P. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Partnership”) in the first quarter of 2011. These net proceeds were previously reported in our consolidated statement of cash flows as cash flows from investing activities. We have subsequently determined that the net proceeds from the sale of Partnership common units in the first quarter of 2011 should have been reported as cash flows from financing activities. This correction had no impact on cash flows from operating activities. The impact of the reclassification on the statement of cash flows for the first quarter of 2011 is shown below (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
	Investing			Financing
Net Cash Provided By (Used In)	Activities			Activities
As previously reported	$	138,627		$	(170,208	)
Increase (decrease)	(162,236		)	162,236
As corrected	$	(23,609	)	$	(7,972	)

Correction of Misclassification in the Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information Footnote

We identified misclassifications in our cash flow schedules included in our supplemental guarantor financial information footnote primarily related to how we accounted for changes in investments in consolidated subsidiaries (see Note 16). These errors had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.  We have made conforming changes to the cash flow schedules included in our supplemental guarantor financial information footnote for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to conform to our current presentation. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, there were changes to the guarantor subsidiaries and other subsidiaries for our 4.75% Notes due 2014 which impacted the presentation in our supplemental guarantor financial information footnote. Therefore, the table below only shows the impact to the cash flow schedules for the parent and subsidiary issuer, included in our supplemental guarantor financial information footnote for three months ended March 31, 2011 (in thousands):

As Reported	Parent			Subsidiary Issuer
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities	$	463,138		$	334
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing investing activities	(144,883		)	13,330
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	(318,382		)	(13,664		)

As Corrected	Parent			Subsidiary Issuer
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities	$	2,063		$	(68	)
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing investing activities	53,966			87,419
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	(56,156		)	(87,351		)

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from contract operations is recorded when earned, which generally occurs monthly at the time the monthly service is provided to customers in accordance with the contracts. Aftermarket services revenue is recorded as products are delivered and title is transferred or services are performed for the customer.

Fabrication revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method when the applicable criteria are met. We estimate percentage-of-completion for compressor and accessory fabrication on a direct labor hour to total labor hour basis. Production and processing equipment fabrication percentage-of-completion is estimated using the direct labor hour to total labor hour and the cost to total cost basis. The duration of these projects is typically between three and 36 months. Fabrication revenue is recognized using the completed contract method when the applicable criteria of the percentage-of-completion method are not met. Fabrication revenue from a claim is recognized to the extent that costs related to the claim have been incurred, when collection is probable and can be reliably estimated.

Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Exterran Stockholders Per Common Share

Basic income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to Exterran common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Unvested share-based awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings (loss) per share following the two-class method. Therefore, restricted share awards that contain the right to vote and receive dividends are included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, unless their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Diluted income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental common stock equivalents attributed to outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock to be issued pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan and convertible senior notes, unless their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Net dilutive potential common shares issuable	23,766	23,423

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, receivables, payables, interest rate swaps and debt. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximated their carrying value as reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We estimate the fair value of our fixed rate debt based on quoted market yields in inactive markets or model derived calculations using market yields observed in active markets, which are Level 2 inputs. We estimate the fair value of our floating rate debt using discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, which are Level 3 inputs. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the fair value hierarchy. A summary of the fair value and carrying value of our debt as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is shown in the table below (in thousands):

9

	As of March 31, 2012				As of December 31, 2011
	CarryingAmount		Fair Value		CarryingAmount		Fair Value
Fixed rate debt	$	798,951	$	825,000	$	794,039	$	792,000
Floating rate debt	910,500		914,000		979,000		989,000
Total debt	$	1,709,451	$	1,739,000	$	1,773,039	$	1,781,000

GAAP requires that all derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recognized in the balance sheet at fair value, and that changes in such fair values be recognized in earnings (loss) unless specific hedging criteria are met. Changes in the values of derivatives that meet these hedging criteria will ultimately offset related earnings effects of the hedged item pending recognition in earnings.

2.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In May 2009, the Venezuelan government enacted a law that reserves to the State of Venezuela certain assets and services related to hydrocarbon activities, which included substantially all of our assets and services in Venezuela. The law provides that the reserved activities are to be performed by the State, by the State-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (“PDVSA”), or its affiliates, or through mixed companies under the control of PDVSA or its affiliates. The law authorizes PDVSA or its affiliates to take possession of the assets and take over control of those operations related to the reserved activities as a step prior to the commencement of an expropriation process, and permits the national executive of Venezuela to decree the total or partial expropriation of shares or assets of companies performing those services.

In June 2009, PDVSA commenced taking possession of our assets and operations in a number of our locations in Venezuela and by the end of the second quarter of 2009, PDVSA had assumed control over substantially all of our assets and operations in Venezuela.

While the law provides that companies whose assets are expropriated in this manner may be compensated in cash or securities, we are unable to predict what, if any, compensation we ultimately will receive or when we may receive any such compensation. We reserve and will continue to reserve the right to seek full compensation for any and all expropriated assets and investments under all applicable legal regimes, including investment treaties and customary international law, as well as to seek resolution through direct discussions with Venezuela and/or PDVSA, which could result in us recording a gain on our investment in future periods. In June 2009, our Spanish subsidiary delivered to the Venezuelan government and PDVSA an official notice of dispute relating to the seized assets and investments under the Agreement between Spain and Venezuela for the Reciprocal Promotion and Protection of Investments and under Venezuelan law. In March 2010, our Spanish subsidiary filed a request for the institution of an arbitration proceeding against Venezuela with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) related to the seized assets and investments, which was registered by ICSID in April 2010. The arbitration hearing on jurisdiction and the merits is presently scheduled to take place in July 2012.

We maintained insurance for the risk of expropriation of our investments in Venezuela, subject to a policy limit of $50 million. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a receivable of $50 million related to this insurance policy because we determined that recovery under this policy of a portion of our loss was probable. We collected the $50 million under our policy in January 2010. Under the terms of the insurance policy, certain compensation we may receive from the Venezuelan government or PDVSA for our expropriated assets, receivables and operations will be applied first to the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by us and the insurance company, second to the insurance company until the $50 million payment has been repaid and third to us.

As a result of PDVSA taking possession of substantially all of our assets and operations in Venezuela, we recorded asset impairments during the year ended December 31, 2009 totaling $329.7 million ($379.7 million excluding the insurance proceeds of $50 million). These charges primarily related to receivables, inventory, fixed assets and goodwill, and are reflected in Income (loss) from discontinued operations. We believe the fair value of our seized Venezuelan operations substantially exceeds the historical cost-based carrying value of the assets, including the goodwill allocable to those operations; however, GAAP requires that our claim be accounted for as a gain contingency with no benefit being recorded until resolved. Accordingly, we did not include any compensation we may receive for our seized assets and operations from Venezuela in recording the loss on expropriation.

The expropriation of our business in Venezuela meets the criteria established for recognition as discontinued operations under accounting standards for presentation of financial statements. Therefore, our Venezuela contract operations and aftermarket services businesses are now reflected as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

5.  INVESTMENTS IN NON-CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

Investments in affiliates that are not controlled by Exterran but where we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations are accounted for using the equity method.

We own a minority interest in WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited (“PIGAP II”) and WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited (“El Furrial”), joint ventures that provided natural gas compression and injection services in Venezuela. In March 2009, these joint ventures recorded impairments on their assets due to lack of payments from their only customer, PDVSA. Accordingly, we reviewed our expected cash flows related to these two joint ventures and determined in March 2009 that the fair value of our investment in PIGAP II and El Furrial had declined and that we had a loss in our investment that was not temporary. Therefore, we recorded an impairment charge of $90.1 million ($81.7 million net of tax) to write-off our investments in PIGAP II and El Furrial. In May 2009, PDVSA assumed control over the assets of PIGAP II and El Furrial and transitioned the operations of PIGAP II and El Furrial, including the hiring of their employees, to PDVSA. In March 2011, PIGAP II and El Furrial, together with the Netherlands’ parent company of our joint venture partners, filed a request for the institution of an arbitration proceeding against Venezuela with ICSID related to the seized assets and investments, which was registered by ICSID in April 2011.

In March 2012, PIGAP II and El Furrial completed the sale of their assets to PDVSA Gas, S.A. We received an initial payment of approximately $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 of 2016. Payments we receive from the sale will be recognized in Equity in income of non-consolidated affiliates in our condensed consolidated statements of operation as such payments are received. In connection with the sale of the PIGAP II and El Furrial assets, the WilPro joint ventures and our joint venture partners have agreed to suspend their previously filed arbitration proceeding against Venezuela pending payment in full by PDVSA Gas of the purchase price for the assets.

6.  LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

	March 31,2012		December 31,2011
Revolving credit facility due July 2016	$	275,000	$	433,500
Partnership’s revolving credit facility due November 2015	485,500		395,500
Partnership’s term loan facility due November 2015	150,000		150,000
4.25% convertible senior notes due June 2014 (presented net of the unamortized discount of $49.9 million and $54.9 million, respectively)	305,109		300,149
4.75% convertible senior notes due January 2014	143,750		143,750
7.25% senior notes due December 2018	350,000		350,000
Other, interest at various rates, collateralized by equipment and other assets	92		140
Long-term debt	$	1,709,451	$	1,773,039

In March 2012, the Partnership and EXLP Operating LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, increased the borrowing capacity under their revolving credit facility by $200 million to $750 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Partnership incurred transaction costs of approximately $0.5 million related to the increase in borrowing capacity. These costs were included in Intangible and other assets, net and are being amortized over the facility term. Concurrently with this increase, we decreased the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility by $200 million to $900 million. As a result of the decrease in borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, we expensed $1.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with our revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2012, which is reflected in Interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In March 2011, we repaid the $6.0 million outstanding balance under our asset-backed securitization facility and terminated that facility. As a result of the termination, we expensed $1.4 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, which is reflected in Interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In June 2009, we issued $355.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes due June 2014 (the “4.25% Notes”). The 4.25% Notes are convertible upon the occurrence of certain conditions into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 43.1951 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.15 per share of common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment following certain dilutive events and certain corporate transactions. The value of the shares into which the 4.25% Notes may be converted did not exceed their principal amount as of March 31, 2012. We may not redeem the 4.25% Notes prior to their maturity date.

12

GAAP requires that the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects an issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. Upon issuance of our 4.25% Notes, $97.9 million was recorded as a debt discount and reflected in equity related to the convertible feature of these notes. The discount on the 4.25% Notes will be amortized using the effective interest method through June 30, 2014. During each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized $3.8 million of interest expense related to the contractual interest coupon. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized $5.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount. The effective interest rate on the debt component of these notes is 11.67%.

As of March 31, 2012, we had $275.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $201.1 million in outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2012, taking into account guarantees through letters of credit, we had undrawn capacity of $423.9 million under our revolving credit facility. Our senior secured credit agreement limits our Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio to not greater than 5.0 to 1.0. Due to this limitation, $400.8 million of the $423.9 million of undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility was available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012, the Partnership had $264.5 million of undrawn and available capacity under its revolving credit facility.

7.  ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES

We are exposed to market risks primarily associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We use derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with financial activities by managing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our debt obligations. We also use derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks caused by currency fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

At March 31, 2012, we were a party to interest rate swaps pursuant to which we make fixed payments and receive floating payments on a notional value of $715.0 million. We entered into these swaps to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the associated variable interest rates. Our interest rate swaps expire over varying dates, with interest rate swaps having a notional amount of $465.0 million expiring on or before August 2012 and the remaining interest rate swaps expiring in November 2015. As of March 31, 2012, the weighted average effective fixed interest rate on our interest rate swaps was 3.6%. We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedging instruments so that any change in their fair values is recognized as a component of comprehensive income (loss) and is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent the hedge is effective. The swap terms substantially coincide with the hedged item and are expected to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the variable rate, and therefore we currently do not expect a significant amount of ineffectiveness on these hedges. We perform quarterly calculations to determine whether the swap agreements are still effective and to calculate any ineffectiveness. We recorded no ineffectiveness in the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. We estimate that approximately $10.4 million of deferred pre-tax losses attributable to existing interest rate swaps and included in our accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2012, will be reclassified into earnings as interest expense at then-current values during the next twelve months as the underlying hedged transactions occur. Cash flows from derivatives designated as hedges are classified in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows under the same category as the cash flows from the underlying assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, we paid $43.0 million to terminate interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $585.0 million and a weighted average effective fixed interest rate of 4.6%. These swaps qualified for hedge accounting and were previously included on our balance sheet as a liability and in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The liability was paid in connection with the termination, and the associated amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be amortized into interest expense over the original term of the swaps. We estimate that $7.3 million of deferred pre-tax losses from these terminated interest rate swaps will be amortized into interest expense during the next twelve months.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We operate in approximately 30 countries throughout the world, and a fluctuation in the value of the currencies of these countries relative to the U.S. dollar could impact our profits from international operations and the value of the net assets of our international operations when reported in U.S. dollars in our financial statements. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency hedges to

13

reduce our foreign exchange risk associated with cash flows we will receive in a currency other than the functional currency of the local Exterran affiliate that entered into the contract. The impact of foreign currency exchange on our condensed consolidated statements of operations will depend on the amount of our net asset and liability positions exposed to currency fluctuations in future periods.

Foreign currency swaps or forward contracts that meet the hedging requirements or that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are accounted for as cash flow hedges and changes in the fair value are recognized as a component of comprehensive income (loss) to the extent the hedge is effective. The amounts recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings (loss) in the periods in which the underlying foreign currency exchange transaction is recognized and are included under the same category as the income or loss from the underlying assets, liabilities, or anticipated transactions in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For foreign currency swaps and forward contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, changes in fair value and gains and losses on settlement are included under the same category as the income or loss from the underlying assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The counterparties to our derivative agreements are major international financial institutions. We monitor the credit quality of these financial institutions and do not expect non-performance by any counterparty, although such non-performance could have a material

14

adverse effect on us. We have no specific collateral posted for our derivative instruments. The counterparties to our interest rate swaps are also lenders under our credit facilities and, in that capacity, share proportionally in the collateral pledged under the related facility.

8.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad categories.

·Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which we have access at the date of measurement.

·Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.

·Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect our own assumptions regarding how market participants would price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands):

	March 31, 2012							December 31, 2011
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)			(Level 3)		(Level 1)		(Level 2)			(Level 3)
Interest rate swaps asset (liability)	$	—	$	(15,531	)	$	—	$	—	$	(19,446	)	$	—

On a quarterly basis, our interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value utilizing a combination of the market approach and income approach to estimate fair value based on forward LIBOR curves.

The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2012						Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Impaired long-lived assets	$	—	$	—	$	1,800	$	—	$	—	$	—

Our estimate of the fair value of the impaired long-lived assets was based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we have recently sold, as well as our review of other units that were recently for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment that we plan to use.

9.  LONG-LIVED ASSET IMPAIRMENT

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we reviewed the idle compression assets used in our contract operations segments for units that are not of the type, configuration, make or model that are cost efficient to maintain and operate. Our estimate of the fair value of the impaired long-lived assets was based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we have recently sold, as well as our review of other units that were recently for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment that we plan to use. The net book value of these assets exceeded the fair value by $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and was recorded as a long-lived asset impairment.

10.  RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In November 2011, we announced a workforce cost reduction program across all of our business segments as a first step in a broader overall profit improvement initiative. These actions were the result of a review of our cost structure aimed at identifying ways to reduce our on-going operating costs and to adjust the size of our workforce to be consistent with current and expected activity levels.

15

A significant portion of the workforce cost reduction program was completed in 2011, with the remainder expected to be completed in 2012.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred $3.0 million of restructuring charges primarily related to consulting services and termination benefits. These charges are reflected as Restructuring charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We currently estimate that we will incur additional charges with respect to the profit improvement initiative of approximately $1.6 million. We expect all of the estimated additional charges will result in cash expenditures.

The following table summarizes the changes to our accrued liability balance related to restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands):

	Restructuring Charges Accrual
Beginning balance at December 31, 2011	$	1,776
Additions for costs expensed	3,047

11.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Incentive Plan

In August 2007, we adopted the Exterran Holdings, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “2007 Plan”) that provides for the granting of stock-based awards in the form of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and performance awards to our employees and directors. In May 2011, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Plan that increased the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2007 Plan to 12,500,000 from 9,750,000. Each option and stock appreciation right granted counts as one share against the aggregate share limit, and each share of restricted stock and restricted stock unit granted counts as two shares against the aggregate share limit. Awards granted under the 2007 Plan that are subsequently cancelled, terminated or forfeited are available for future grant, and awards that are granted as cash settled awards are not counted against the aggregate share limit.

Stock Options

Under the 2007 Plan, stock options are granted at fair market value at the date of grant, are exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule established by the compensation committee of our board of directors in its sole discretion and expire no later than seven years after the date of grant. Options generally vest 33 1/3% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

16

The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $5.74, and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Three MonthsEndedMarch 31, 2012
Expected life in years	4.5
Risk-free interest rate	0.78	%
Volatility	47.96	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for a period commensurate with the estimated expected life of the stock options. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the stock options and other factors. We have not historically paid a dividend and do not expect to pay a dividend during the expected life of the stock options.

The following table presents stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands, except per share data and remaining life in years):

	StockOptions		WeightedAverageExercise Price		WeightedAverageRemainingLife	AggregateIntrinsicValue
Options outstanding, December 31, 2011	3,271		$	27.39
Granted	153		14.36
Cancelled	(365	)	22.65
Options outstanding, March 31, 2012	3,059		27.30		4.9	$	1,637
Options exercisable, March 31, 2012	2,056		33.38		3.5	—

Intrinsic value is the difference between the market value of our stock and the exercise price of each option multiplied by the number of options outstanding for those options where the market value exceeds their exercise price. As of March 31, 2012, $4.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Cash Settled Restricted Stock Units

For grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units, we recognize compensation expense over the vesting period equal to the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. For grants of cash settled restricted stock units, we re-measure the fair value of these cash settled restricted stock units and record a cumulative adjustment of the expense previously recognized. Our obligation related to the cash settled restricted stock units is reflected as a liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our restricted stock, restricted stock unit and cash settled restricted stock unit grants generally vest 33 1/3% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

The following table presents restricted stock, restricted stock unit and cash settled restricted stock unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands, except per share data):

	Shares		WeightedAverageGrant-DateFair ValuePer Share
Non-vested awards, December 31, 2011	1,670		$	19.49
Granted	1,212		14.31
Vested	(598	)	20.54
Cancelled	(50	)	22.02
Non-vested awards, March 31, 2012	2,234		16.34

As of March 31, 2012, $31.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock, restricted stock units and cash settled restricted stock units is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

17

Our compensation committee’s general practice has been to grant equity-based awards once a year.  While typically these awards have been made in late February or early March after fourth quarter earnings information for the prior year has been released for at least two full trading days, it is possible that the compensation committee may make equity awards at other, or additional, times during the year. The schedule for making equity-based awards is typically established several months in advance, and is not set based on knowledge of material nonpublic information or in response to our stock price. This practice results in awards being granted on a regular, predictable cycle, after annual earnings information has been disseminated to the marketplace. Equity-based awards are occasionally granted at other times during the year, such as upon the hiring of a new employee or following the promotion of an employee. In some instances, the compensation committee may be aware, at the time grants are made, of matters or potential developments that are not ripe for public disclosure at that time but that may result in public announcement of material information at a later date. In March 2012, the compensation committee of our board of directors authorized annual long-term incentive awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, cash settled restricted stock units and cash settled performance awards to our executive officers, other employees and non-employee directors.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In August 2007, we adopted the Exterran Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which is intended to provide employees with an opportunity to participate in our long-term performance and success through the purchase of shares of common stock at a price that may be less than fair market value. The ESPP is designed to comply with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each quarter, an eligible employee may elect to withhold a portion of his or her salary up to the lesser of $25,000 per year or 10% of his or her eligible pay to purchase shares of our common stock at a price equal to 85% to 100% of the fair market value of the stock as of the first trading day of the quarter, the last trading day of the quarter or the lower of the first trading day of the quarter and the last trading day of the quarter, as the compensation committee of our board of directors may determine. The ESPP will terminate on the date that all shares of common stock authorized for sale under the ESPP have been purchased, unless it is extended. In May 2011, our stockholders approved an amendment to the ESPP that increased the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for purchase under the ESPP to 1,000,000. At March 31, 2012, 437,332 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP. Our ESPP is compensatory and, as a result, we record an expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the ESPP. Since July 2009, the purchase discount under the ESPP has been 5% of the fair market value of our common stock on the first trading day of the quarter or the last trading day of the quarter, whichever is lower.

Partnership Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Partnership has a long-term incentive plan that was adopted by Exterran GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership’s general partner, in October 2006 for employees, directors and consultants of the Partnership, us or our respective affiliates. The long-term incentive plan currently permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate of 1,035,378 common units, common unit options, restricted units and phantom units. The long-term incentive plan is administered by the board of directors of Exterran GP LLC or a committee thereof (the “Plan Administrator”).

Unit options have an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value of a common unit on the date of grant and become exercisable over a period determined by the Plan Administrator. Phantom units are notional units that entitle the grantee to receive a common unit upon the vesting of the phantom unit or, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, cash equal to the fair value of a common unit.

Partnership Phantom Units

The following table presents phantom unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012:

	PhantomUnits		WeightedAverageGrant-DateFair Valueper Unit
Phantom units outstanding, December 31, 2011	75,267		$	21.45
Granted	17,814		23.70
Vested	(29,950	)	17.53
Phantom units outstanding, March 31, 2012	63,131		23.94

As of March 31, 2012, $1.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested phantom units is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We have issued the following guarantees that are not recorded on our accompanying balance sheet (dollars in thousands):

	Term	Maximum PotentialUndiscountedPayments as ofMarch 31, 2012
Performance guarantees through letters of credit(1)	2012-2016	$	246,425
Standby letters of credit	2012-2015	17,149
Commercial letters of credit	2012	2,922
Bid bonds and performance bonds(1)	2012-2018	121,403
Maximum potential undiscounted payments		$	387,899

(1)We have issued guarantees to third parties to ensure performance of our obligations, some of which may be fulfilled by third parties.

As part of an acquisition in 2001, we may be required to make contingent payments of up to $46 million to the seller, depending on our realization of certain U.S. federal tax benefits through the year 2015. To date, we have not realized any such benefits that would require a payment and we do not anticipate realizing any such benefits that would require a payment before the year 2013.

See Note 2 for a discussion of our gain contingency related to assets that were expropriated in Venezuela.

Our business can be hazardous, involving unforeseen circumstances such as uncontrollable flows of natural gas or well fluids and fires or explosions. As is customary in our industry, we review our safety equipment and procedures and carry insurance against some, but not all, risks of our business. Our insurance coverage includes property damage, general liability and commercial automobile liability and other coverage we believe is appropriate. In addition, we have a minimal amount of insurance on our offshore assets. We believe that our insurance coverage is customary for the industry and adequate for our business; however, losses and liabilities not covered by insurance would increase our costs.

Additionally, we are substantially self-insured for worker’s compensation and employee group health claims in view of the relatively high per-incident deductibles we absorb under our insurance arrangements for these risks. Losses up to the deductible amounts are estimated and accrued based upon known facts, historical trends and industry averages.

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. While management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, we believe that any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation, however, we cannot provide assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding to which we are a party will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the resolution occurs.

13.  RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In May 2011, the FASB issued an update to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This update changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Our adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2012 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an update on the presentation of other comprehensive income. Under this update, entities will be required to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity has been eliminated. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Our adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2012 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued an update allowing entities to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. Under this update, entities are permitted to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently

19

prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. This update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Our adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2012 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

14.  REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

We manage our business segments primarily based upon the type of product or service provided. We have four reportable segments: North America contract operations, international contract operations, aftermarket services and fabrication. The North America and international contract operations segments primarily provide natural gas compression services, production and processing equipment services and maintenance services to meet specific customer requirements on Exterran-owned assets. The aftermarket services segment provides a full range of services to support the surface production, compression and processing needs of customers, from parts sales and normal maintenance services to full operation of a customer’s owned assets. The fabrication segment provides (i) design, engineering, fabrication, installation and sale of natural gas compression units and accessories and equipment used in the production, treating and processing of crude oil and natural gas and (ii) engineering, procurement and fabrication services primarily related to the manufacturing of critical process equipment for refinery and petrochemical facilities, the fabrication of tank farms and the fabrication of evaporators and brine heaters for desalination plants.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on gross margin for each segment. Revenues include only sales to external customers. We do not include intersegment sales when we evaluate the performance of our segments.

The following table presents sales and other financial information by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

Three months ended	NorthAmericaContractOperations		InternationalContractOperations		AftermarketServices		Fabrication		ReportableSegmentsTotal

Revenue from external customers	$	154,170	$	112,786	$	97,336	$	262,222	$	626,514
Gross margin(1)	78,131		68,897		17,199		26,620		190,847

Gross margin(1)	70,545		64,715		9,160		40,755		185,175

(1)Gross margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is reconciled to net income (loss) below.

We define gross margin as total revenue less cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense). Gross margin is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary measure used by our management as it represents the results of revenue and cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), which are key components of our operations. As an indicator of our operating performance, gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our gross margin may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate gross margin in the same manner.

15.  TRANSACTIONS RELATED TO THE PARTNERSHIP

In March 2012, we sold to the Partnership contract operations customer service agreements with 39 customers and a fleet of 406 compressor units used to provide compression services under those agreements, comprising approximately 188,000 horsepower, or 5% (by then available horsepower) of our combined U.S. contract operations business. In addition, the assets sold included 139 compressor units, comprising approximately 75,000 horsepower, that we previously leased to the Partnership, and a natural gas processing plant with a capacity of 10 million cubic feet per day used to provide processing services to a customer pursuant to a long-term services agreement. Total consideration for the transaction was approximately $182.8 million, excluding transaction costs. Also in connection with this acquisition, the Partnership assumed $105.4 million of our debt and paid us $77.4 million in cash. In connection with this transaction, we entered into an amendment to our omnibus agreement with the Partnership that, among other things, increased the cap on selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs we allocate to the Partnership based on such costs we incur on the Partnership’s behalf and extended the term of the caps on the Partnership’s obligation to reimburse us for SG&A costs and operating costs we allocate to the Partnership based on such costs we incur on the Partnership’s behalf for an additional year such that the caps will now terminate on December 31, 2013.

In March 2012, the Partnership sold, pursuant to a public underwritten offering, 4,965,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership, including 465,000 common units sold pursuant to an over-allotment option. The Partnership used the $114.6 million of net proceeds from this offering to repay borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility. In connection with this sale and as permitted under the Partnership’s partnership agreement, the Partnership issued and sold to its general partner approximately 101,000 general partner units in consideration of the continuation of the general partner’s approximate 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership. The change in our ownership interest of the Partnership resulting from the sale of the common units resulted in adjustments to noncontrolling interest, accumulated other comprehensive income, deferred income taxes and additional paid-in capital to reflect our new ownership percentage in the Partnership.

In March 2011, we sold, pursuant to a public underwritten offering, 5,914,466 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership, including 664,466 common units sold pursuant to an over-allotment option. We used the $162.2 million of net proceeds received from the sale of the common units to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term loan. The change in our ownership interest of the Partnership resulting from the sale of the common units resulted in adjustments to noncontrolling interest, accumulated other comprehensive income, deferred income taxes and additional paid-in capital to reflect our new ownership percentage in the Partnership.

The table below presents the effects of changes from net income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders and changes in our equity interest of the Partnership on our equity attributable to Exterran’s stockholders (in thousands):

16.  SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Exterran Energy Corp. (Subsidiary Issuer), our 100% owned subsidiary, is the issuer of the 4.75% Notes. Exterran Holdings, Inc. (Parent) has agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the obligations of Exterran Energy Corp. relating to our 4.75% Notes. There are no other subsidiaries of the Parent that have provided guarantees to the 4.75% Notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries and Other Subsidiaries columns represent non-guarantor subsidiaries for the 4.75% Notes.

We are the issuer of the 7.25% Notes. Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P., EES Leasing LLC, EXH GP LP LLC, and EXH MLP LP LLC (all our 100% owned subsidiaries; together the Guarantor Subsidiaries), have agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee our obligations relating to the 7.25% Notes. There is no subsidiary issuer for the 7.25% debt; that debt was issued solely by the Parent. The Subsidiary Issuer and Other Subsidiaries columns represent non-guarantor subsidiaries for the 7.25% Notes.

As a result of these guarantees, we are presenting the following condensed consolidating financial information pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. These schedules are presented using the equity method of accounting for all periods presented. Under this method, investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for our share in the subsidiaries’ cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distributions and other changes in equity. Elimination entries relate primarily to the elimination of investments in subsidiaries and associated intercompany balances and transactions.

GENERAL

Exterran Holdings, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“we” or “Exterran”), is a global market leader in the full service natural gas compression business and a premier provider of operations, maintenance, service and equipment for oil and natural gas production, processing and transportation applications. Our global customer base consists of companies engaged in all aspects of the oil and natural gas industry, including large integrated oil and natural gas companies, national oil and natural gas companies, independent producers and natural gas processors, gatherers and pipelines. We operate in three primary business lines: contract operations, fabrication and aftermarket services. In our contract operations business line, we own a fleet of natural gas compression equipment and crude oil and natural gas production and processing equipment that we utilize to provide operations services to our customers. In our fabrication business line, we fabricate and sell equipment similar to the equipment that we own and utilize to provide contract operations to our customers. We also fabricate the equipment utilized in our contract operations services. In addition, our fabrication business line provides engineering, procurement and fabrication services primarily related to the manufacturing of critical process equipment for refinery and petrochemical facilities, the fabrication of tank farms and the fabrication of evaporators and brine heaters for desalination plants. In our Total Solutions projects, which we offer to our customers on either a contract operations basis or a sale basis, we provide the engineering, design, project management, procurement and construction services necessary to incorporate our products into production, processing and compression facilities. In our aftermarket services business line, we sell parts and components and provide operations, maintenance, overhaul and reconfiguration services to customers who own compression, production, processing, treating and other equipment.

Exterran Partners, L.P.

We have an equity interest in the Partnership, a master limited partnership that provides natural gas contract operations services to customers throughout the U.S. As of March 31, 2012, public unitholders held a 69% ownership interest in the Partnership and we owned the remaining equity interest, including the general partner interest and all incentive distribution rights. The general partner of the Partnership is our subsidiary and we consolidate the financial position and results of operations of the Partnership. It is our intention for the Partnership to be the primary vehicle for the growth of our U.S. contract operations business and for us to continue to contribute U.S. contract operations customer contracts and equipment to the Partnership over time in exchange for cash, the Partnership’s assumption of our debt and/or additional interests in the Partnership. As of March 31, 2012, the Partnership had a fleet of 4,899 compressor units comprising approximately 2,094,000 horsepower, or 59% (by then available horsepower) of our and the Partnership’s combined total U.S. horsepower. This fleet included 309 compressor units with an aggregate horsepower of approximately 160,000 leased from us and excluded 52 compressor units owed by the Partnership with an aggregate horsepower of approximately 29,000 leased to us as of March 31, 2012.

In March 2012, we sold to the Partnership contract operations customer service agreements with 39 customers and a fleet of 406 compressor units used to provide compression services under those agreements, comprising approximately 188,000 horsepower, or 5% (by then available horsepower) of our combined U.S. contract operations business. In addition, the assets sold included 139 compressor units, comprising approximately 75,000 horsepower, that we previously leased to the Partnership, and a natural gas processing plant with a capacity of 10 million cubic feet per day used to provide processing services to a customer pursuant to a long-term services agreement. Total consideration for the transaction was approximately $182.8 million, excluding transaction costs. In connection with this acquisition, the Partnership assumed $105.4 million of our debt and paid us $77.4 million in cash. Also in connection with this transaction, we entered into an amendment to our omnibus agreement with the Partnership that, among other things, increased the cap on selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs we allocate to the Partnership based on such costs we incur on the Partnership’s behalf and extended the term of the caps on the Partnership’s obligation to reimburse us for SG&A costs and operating costs we allocate to the Partnership based on such costs we incur on the Partnership’s behalf for an additional year such that the caps will now terminate on December 31, 2013.

OVERVIEW

Industry Conditions and Trends

Our business environment and corresponding operating results are affected by the level of energy industry spending for the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves. Spending by oil and natural gas exploration and production companies is dependent upon these companies’ forecasts regarding the expected future supply, demand and pricing of, oil and natural gas products as well as their estimates of risk-adjusted costs to find, develop and produce reserves. Although we believe our contract operations business will typically be less impacted by commodity prices than certain other energy service products and services, changes in oil and natural gas exploration and production spending will normally result in changes in demand for our products and services.

Natural Gas Consumption and Production.  Natural gas consumption in the U.S. for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 increased by approximately 2% over the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. The Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) estimates that natural gas consumption in the U.S. will increase by 4.2% in 2012 and will increase by an average of 0.5% per year thereafter until 2035. Natural gas consumption worldwide is projected to increase by 1.6% per year until 2035, according to the EIA.

Natural gas marketed production in the U.S. for the twelve months ended January 31, 2012 increased by approximately 8% over the twelve months ended January 31, 2011. In 2010, the U.S. accounted for an estimated annual production of approximately 23 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, or 19% of the worldwide total of approximately 119 trillion cubic feet. The EIA estimates that the U.S.’s natural gas production level will be approximately 26 trillion cubic feet in 2035, or 16% of the projected worldwide total of approximately 169 trillion cubic feet.

Our Performance Trends and Outlook

Our revenue, earnings and financial position are affected by, among other things, market conditions that impact demand and pricing for natural gas compression and oil and natural gas production and processing, our customers’ decisions regarding whether to utilize our products and services rather than utilize products and services from our competitors and their decisions regarding whether to own and operate the equipment themselves. In particular, many of our North America contract operations agreements with customers have

30

short initial terms. We cannot be certain that these contracts will be renewed after the end of the initial contractual term, and any such nonrenewal, or renewal at a reduced rate, could adversely impact our results of operations.

During 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, we saw robust drilling activity and experienced an increase in order activity and bookings in our fabrication business segment in the North America market, particularly in shale plays and areas focused on the production of oil and natural gas liquids. This activity led to higher demand for our fabricated compression and production and processing equipment. Our North America contract operations business has also benefited from the increase in activity in shale plays and areas focused on the production of oil and natural gas liquids. The new development activity has increased the amount of compression horsepower in the industry and in our business; however, these increases have been significantly offset by horsepower declines in more mature and predominantly dry gas markets. Recently, natural gas prices in North America have fallen to the lowest levels seen in more than a decade, which could decrease natural gas production, particularly in dry gas areas, and as a result, decrease demand for our natural gas compression and oil and natural gas production and processing equipment and services. We believe that the low natural gas price environment, as well as the recent investment of capital in new equipment by our competitors and other third parties, creates uncertainty in our business outlook.

In international markets, we believe there will continue to be demand for our contract operations and fabricated projects and we expect to have opportunities to grow our international business through our contract operations, aftermarket services and fabrication business segments over the long term. However, in 2011, we saw decreases in our international backlog in our fabrication business segment due to the longer lead times for the development of international energy projects, which could negatively impact our revenue in 2012.

Our level of capital spending depends on our forecast for the demand for our products and services and the equipment we require to provide services to our customers. As we believe there will be increased activity in certain North American areas focused on the production of oil and natural gas liquids, we anticipate investing more capital in our contract operations fleet in 2012 than we have in the recent past.

Based on current market conditions, we expect that net cash provided by operating activities and availability under our credit facilities will be sufficient to finance our operating expenditures, capital expenditures and scheduled interest and debt repayments through December 31, 2012; however, to the extent it is not, we may seek additional debt or equity financing.

We intend to continue to contribute over time additional U.S. contract operations customer contracts and equipment to the Partnership in exchange for cash, the Partnership’s assumption of our debt and/or our receipt of additional interests in the Partnership. Such transactions would depend on, among other things, market and economic conditions, our ability to reach agreement with the Partnership regarding the terms of any purchase and the availability to the Partnership of debt and equity capital on reasonable terms.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary of Results

Revenue.  Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $626.5 million compared to $618.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher aftermarket services revenue in North America in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Net income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders and EBITDA, as adjusted.  We recorded consolidated net income attributable to Exterran stockholders of $5.5 million and a consolidated net loss of $30.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We recorded EBITDA, as adjusted, of $96.1 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Net income attributable to Exterran stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2012 benefitted from $37.6 million of proceeds received in conjunction with the sale of PIGAP II and El Furrial’s assets. Net income attributable to Exterran stockholders and EBITDA, as adjusted, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were favorably impacted by higher gross margin from operations. Net income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders and EBITDA, as adjusted, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 benefited from $8.6 million in fabrication change order recoveries in excess of cost overruns that primarily related to the recovery on a loss contract. For a reconciliation of EBITDA, as adjusted, to net income (loss), its most directly comparable financial measure, calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), please read “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011

Summary of Business Segment Results

North America Contract Operations

(dollars in thousands)

	Three months ended March 31,						Increase
	2012			2011			(Decrease)
Revenue	$	154,170		$	151,054		2%
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)	76,039			80,509			(6)%
Gross margin	$	78,131		$	70,545		11%
Gross margin percentage	51		%	47		%	4%

The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a 1% increase in average operating horsepower, an increase in rates, a $1.2 million increase in revenue from a gas processing plant that began operations during the fourth quarter of 2011 and a $1.1 million increase in re-billable freight. These increases were partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in revenue from our contract water treatment business in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in gross margin (defined as revenue less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and gross margin percentage in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily caused by the revenue increase explained above, an overall decrease in our field operating expenses from the implementation of profitability improvement initiatives and more favorable weather conditions; partially offset by an increase in lube oil prices and freight expenses. Gross margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is reconciled, in total, to net income (loss), its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, in Note 14 to the Financial Statements.

International Contract Operations

(dollars in thousands)

	Three months ended March 31,						Increase
	2012			2011			(Decrease)
Revenue	$	112,786		$	105,681		7%
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)	43,889			40,966			7%
Gross margin	$	68,897		$	64,715		6%
Gross margin percentage	61		%	61		%	0%

The increase in revenue and gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to a $7.9 million increase in revenues in Nigeria, largely from the recognition of $5.1 million of revenue with little incremental cost from the early termination of a project in Nigeria recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2012, and a $3.8 million increase in revenues in Mexico. This was partially offset by a $6.9 million decrease in revenues in Brazil primarily due to the termination of projects in 2011. Gross margin percentage in the three months ended March 31, 2012 benefited from the recognition of $5.1 million of revenue with little incremental cost from the early termination of a project in Nigeria. This benefit was significantly offset by higher operating costs in Argentina primarily caused by inflation and reduced margins in Brazil caused by increased demobilization expenses.

Aftermarket Services

(dollars in thousands)

	Three months ended March 31,						Increase
	2012			2011			(Decrease)
Revenue	$	97,336		$	81,698		19%
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)	80,137			72,538			10%
Gross margin	$	17,199		$	9,160		88%
Gross margin percentage	18		%	11		%	7%

The increase in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to an increase in activity in North America of $11.1 million. Gross margin and gross margin percentage were favorably impacted

33

by improved market conditions, the implementation of profitability improvement initiatives that began in the second half of 2011 and more favorable weather conditions in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Fabrication

(dollars in thousands)

	Three months ended March 31,						Increase
	2012			2011			(Decrease)
Revenue	$	262,222		$	280,046		(6)%
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)	235,602			239,291			(2)%
Gross margin	$	26,620		$	40,755		(35)%
Gross margin percentage	10		%	15		%	(5)%

The decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to a $66.6 million reduction of revenue in the Eastern Hemisphere. This decrease was partially offset by $55.0 million of higher revenue in North America caused by improved market conditions. The decrease in gross margin and gross margin percentage was primarily due to lower margins in the Eastern Hemisphere in the three months ended March 31, 2012 including the impact of $8.6 million in fabrication change order recoveries in excess of cost overruns recognized in the first quarter of 2011 that primarily related to a recovery on a loss contract.

Costs and Expenses

(dollars in thousands)

	Three months ended March 31,						Increase
	2012			2011			(Decrease)
Selling, general and administrative	$	96,076		$	91,281		5%
Depreciation and amortization	87,308			90,478			(4)%
Long-lived asset impairment	4,332			—			n/a
Restructuring charges	3,047			—			n/a
Interest expense	37,991			37,170			2%
Equity in income of non-consolidated affiliates	(37,339		)	—			n/a
Other (income) expense, net	(6,783		)	(414		)	1,538%

The increase in SG&A expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to a $4.3 million increase in state and local taxes related to sales tax audits in North America. SG&A as a percentage of revenue was 15% for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Depreciation and amortization decreased primarily due to reduced depreciation and amortization on contract operations projects in Brazil as a result of contracts that were terminated in 2011.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 we reviewed the idle compression assets used in our contract operations segments for units that are not of the type, configuration, make or model that are cost efficient to maintain and operate. We performed a cash flow analysis of the expected proceeds from the salvage value of these units to determine the fair value of the assets. Our estimate of the fair value of the impaired long-lived assets was based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we have recently sold, as well as our review of other units that were recently for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment that we plan to use. The net book value of these assets exceeded the fair value by $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and was recorded as a long-lived asset impairment.

In November 2011, we announced a workforce cost reduction program across all of our business segments as a first step in a broader overall profit improvement initiative. These actions were the result of a review of our cost structure aimed at identifying ways to reduce our on-going operating costs and to adjust the size of our workforce to be consistent with current and expected activity levels. A significant portion of the workforce cost reduction program was completed in 2011, with the remainder expected to be completed in 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred $3.0 million of restructuring charges primarily related to consulting services and termination benefits. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of these charges.

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to the refinancing of a portion of our outstanding debt at a higher interest rate. In addition, we expensed $1.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs as a result of the decrease in capacity of our revolving credit facility in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a lower average debt balance during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $1.4 million of unamortized deferred financing costs expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to the termination of the 2007 ABS Facility.

The increase in equity in income of non-consolidated affiliates during the three months ended March 31, 2012 relates to the initial payment of approximately $37.6 million we received in March 2012 from the sale of PIGAP II and El Furrial’s assets. We are due to receive an additional $74.8 million in periodic cash payments through the first quarter of 2016 related to this sale. Payments we receive from the sale will be recognized in Equity in income of non-consolidated affiliates in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as such payments are received.

The change in other (income) expense, net was primarily due to a foreign currency gain of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to a loss of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our foreign currency gains and losses are primarily related to the remeasurement of our international subsidiaries’ net assets exposed to changes in foreign currency rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, foreign currency gain included $5.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in translation gains related to the re-measurement of our Brazil subsidiary’s U.S. dollar denominated inter-company debt.

Income Taxes

Benefit from income taxes	$	(1,697	)	$	(5,014	)	(66)%
Effective tax rate	(27.3		)%	15.0		%	(42.3)%

The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the $37.3 million equity in income of non-consolidated affiliates recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012, which was not subject to income tax.  The effective tax rate was further impacted by increased losses in low or no tax jurisdictions and a $1.3 million charge for a foreign tax audit assessment received in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, related to our operations in Venezuela that were expropriated in June 2009 and include the costs associated with our pending arbitration proceeding. As discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, in June 2009, PDVSA commenced taking possession of our assets and operations in a number of our locations in Venezuela and by the end of the second quarter of 2009, PDVSA had assumed control over substantially all of our assets and operations in Venezuela.

Noncontrolling Interest

As of March 31, 2012, noncontrolling interest is primarily comprised of the portion of the Partnership’s earnings that is applicable to the limited partner interest in the Partnership owned by the public. As of March 31, 2012, public unitholders held a 69% ownership interest in the Partnership.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our unrestricted cash balance was $23.6 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $22.0 million at December 31, 2011. Working capital increased to $483.3 million at March 31, 2012 from $454.0 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in working capital was

35

primarily caused by increases in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and inventory. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in accounts receivable.

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized in the table below (in thousands):

	Three Months EndedMarch 31,
	2012			2011
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operations:
Operating activities	$	38,591		$	25,452
Investing activities	(69,444		)	(23,609		)
Financing activities	32,130			(7,972		)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	243			(1,364		)
Discontinued operations	—			662
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	1,520		$	(6,831	)

Operating Activities.  The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in cash used for working capital during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Investing Activities.  The increase in cash used by investing activities was primarily attributable to an increase in capital expenditures from $51.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $116.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012, and a decrease in proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment from $27.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $10.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. This was partially offset by $37.6 million of proceeds we received in March 2012 from the sale of PIGAP II and El Furrial’s assets.

Financing Activities.  The increase in cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a decrease in net repayments of long-term debt during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  This was partially offset by a decrease in net proceeds from the sale of Partnership units from $162.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $114.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Capital Expenditures.  We generally invest funds necessary to fabricate fleet additions when our idle equipment cannot be reconfigured to economically fulfill a project’s requirements and the new equipment expenditure is expected to generate economic returns over its expected useful life that exceed our targeted return on capital. We currently plan to spend approximately $325 million to $375 million in net capital expenditures during 2012, including (1) contract operations equipment additions and (2) approximately $105 million to $115 million on equipment maintenance capital related to our contract operations business. Net capital expenditures are net of fleet sales.

Long-Term Debt.  As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $1.7 billion in outstanding debt obligations, consisting of $275.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, $143.8 million outstanding under our 4.75% convertible notes due 2014, $305.1 million outstanding under our 4.25% Notes due June 2014, $350.0 million outstanding under our 7.25% senior notes due 2018, $485.5 million outstanding under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility and $150.0 million outstanding under the Partnership’s term loan facility.

In July 2011, we entered into a new five-year, $1.1 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which matures in July 2016 and replaced our former senior secured credit facility. As of March 31, 2012, we had $275.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $201.1 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2012, taking into account guarantees through letters of credit, we had undrawn capacity of $423.9 million under the Credit Facility. Our senior secured credit agreement limits our Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio to not greater than 5.0 to 1.0. Due to this limitation, $400.8 million of the $423.9 million of undrawn capacity under the Credit Facility was available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2012.

In March 2012, the Partnership and EXLP Operating LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, increased the borrowing capacity under their revolving credit facility by $200 million to $750 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Partnership incurred transaction costs of approximately $0.5 million related to the increase in borrowing capacity. These costs were included in Intangible and other assets, net and are being amortized over the term of the facility. Concurrently with this increase, we decreased the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility by $200 million to $900 million. As a result of the decrease in borrowing capacity of our Credit Facility, we expensed approximately $1.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs

36

associated with our Credit Facility in the first quarter of 2012, which is reflected in Interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a base rate or LIBOR, at our option, plus an applicable margin. Depending on our Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement), the applicable margin for revolving loans varies (i) in the case of LIBOR loans, from 1.50% to 2.50% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, from 0.50% to 1.50%. The base rate is the highest of the prime rate announced by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. At March 31, 2012, all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility were LIBOR loans and the applicable margin was 2.25%. The weighted average annual interest rate at March 31, 2012 on the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility, excluding the effect of interest rate swaps, was 2.5%.

Our Significant Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the credit agreement) guarantee the debt under the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the personal property assets and certain real property assets of us and our Significant Domestic Subsidiaries, including all of the equity interests of our U.S. subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) and 65% of the equity interests in certain of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries. The Partnership does not guarantee the debt under the Credit Facility, its assets are not collateral under the Credit Facility and the general partner units in the Partnership are not pledged under the Credit Facility. Subject to certain conditions, at our request, and with the approval of the lenders, the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased by up to an additional $300 million.

The credit agreement contains various covenants with which we or certain of our subsidiaries must comply, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the use of proceeds from borrowings and limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate, sell assets, make certain investments and acquisitions, make loans, grant liens, repurchase equity and pay dividends and distributions. We are also subject to financial covenants, including a ratio of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) to Total Interest Expense (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 2.25 to 1.0, a ratio of consolidated Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of not greater than 5.0 to 1.0 and a ratio of Senior Secured Debt (as defined in the credit agreement) to Adjusted EBITDA of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2012, we maintained a 3.9 to 1.0 Adjusted EBITDA to Total Interest Expense ratio, a 3.6 to 1.0 consolidated Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio and a 0.9 to 1.0 Senior Secured Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio. If we fail to remain in compliance with our financial covenants we would be in default under our debt agreements. In addition, if we were to experience a material adverse effect on our assets, liabilities, financial condition, business or operations that, taken as a whole, impacts our ability to perform our obligations under our debt agreements, this could lead to a default under our debt agreements. A default under one or more of our debt agreements, including a default by the Partnership under its credit facility, would trigger cross-default provisions under certain of our other debt agreements, which would accelerate our obligation to repay our indebtedness under those agreements. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the credit agreement.

In November 2010, we issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due December 2018 (the “7.25% Notes”). The 7.25% Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our existing subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and certain of our future subsidiaries. The Partnership and its subsidiaries have not guaranteed the 7.25% Notes. The 7.25% Notes and the guarantees are our and the guarantors’ general unsecured senior obligations, respectively, rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the guarantors’ other senior obligations, and are effectively subordinated to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. In addition, the 7.25% Notes and guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Prior to December 1, 2013, we may redeem all or a part of the 7.25% Notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) a make-whole premium at the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% Notes prior to December 1, 2013 with the net proceeds of a public or private equity offering at a redemption price of 107.250% of the principal amount of the 7.25% Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% Notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering. On or after December 1, 2013, we may redeem all or a part of the 7.25% Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 105.438% for the twelve-month period beginning on December 1, 2013, 103.625% for the twelve-month period beginning on December 1, 2014, 101.813% for the twelve-month period beginning on December 1, 2015 and 100.000% for the twelve-month period beginning on December 1, 2016 and at any time thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date on the 7.25% Notes.

37

In June 2009, we issued $355.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes due June 2014 (the “4.25% Notes”). The 4.25% Notes are convertible upon the occurrence of certain conditions into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 43.1951 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.15 per share of common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment following certain dilutive events and certain corporate transactions. We may not redeem the 4.25% Notes prior to their maturity date.

The 4.25% Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 4.25% Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities incurred by our subsidiaries. The 4.25% Notes are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries.

In November 2010, the Partnership, as guarantor, and EXLP Operating LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, as borrower, entered into an amendment and restatement of their senior secured credit agreement (the “Partnership Credit Agreement”) to provide for a new five-year, $550.0 million senior secured credit facility consisting of a $400.0 million revolving credit facility and a $150.0 million term loan facility. The revolving borrowing capacity under this facility was increased by $150.0 million to $550.0 million in March 2011, and by $200.0 million to $750.0 million in March 2012.

As of March 31, 2012, the Partnership had $264.5 million of undrawn and available capacity under its revolving credit facility. The Partnership Credit Agreement limits the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) of not greater than 4.75 to 1.0. The Partnership Credit Agreement allows for the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA ratio to be increased from 4.75 to 1.0 to 5.25 to 1.0 during a quarter when an acquisition meeting certain thresholds is completed and for the following two quarters after such an acquisition closes. The Partnership completed an acquisition from us meeting these thresholds in the first quarter of 2012; therefore, the maximum allowed ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA is 5.25 to 1.0 through September 30, 2012, reverting to 4.75 to 1.0 for the quarter ending December 31, 2012 and subsequent quarters.

The Partnership’s revolving credit facility bears interest at a base rate or LIBOR, at the Partnership’s option, plus an applicable margin. Depending on the Partnership’s leverage ratio, the applicable margin for revolving loans varies (i) in the case of LIBOR loans, from 2.25% to 3.25% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, from 1.25% to 2.25%. The base rate is the highest of the prime rate announced by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% and one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. At March 31, 2012, all amounts outstanding under this facility were LIBOR loans and the applicable margin was 2.5%. The weighted average annual interest rate on the outstanding balance of this facility at March 31, 2012, excluding the effect of interest rate swaps, was 2.8%.

The Partnership’s term loan facility bears interest at a base rate or LIBOR, at the Partnership’s option, plus an applicable margin. Depending on the Partnership’s leverage ratio, the applicable margin for term loans varies (i) in the case of LIBOR loans, from 2.5% to 3.5% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, from 1.5% to 2.5%. At March 31, 2012, all amounts outstanding under the term loan facility were LIBOR loans and the applicable margin was 2.75%. The average annual interest rate on the outstanding balance of the term loan facility at March 31, 2012 was 3.0%.

Borrowings under the Partnership Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the U.S. personal property assets of the Partnership and its Significant Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement), including all of the membership interests of the Partnership’s Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement).

The Partnership Credit Agreement contains various covenants with which the Partnership must comply, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the use of proceeds from borrowings and limitations on its ability to incur additional indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate, sell assets, make certain investments and acquisitions, make loans, grant liens, repurchase equity and pay dividends and distributions. It also contains various covenants requiring mandatory prepayments of the term loans from the net cash proceeds of certain future asset transfers. The Partnership must maintain various consolidated financial ratios, including a ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) to Total Interest Expense (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 (which will decrease to 2.75 to 1.0 following the occurrence of certain events specified in the Partnership Credit Agreement) and a ratio of Total Debt (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) to EBITDA of not greater than 4.75 to 1.0. As discussed above, the Partnership completed an acquisition from us meeting these thresholds in the first quarter of 2012; therefore, the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA ratio was temporarily increased from 4.75 to 1.0 to 5.25 to 1.0 through September 30, 2012, reverting to 4.75 to 1.0 for the quarter ending December 31, 2012 and subsequent quarters. As of March 31, 2012, the Partnership maintained a 7.8 to 1.0 EBITDA to Total Interest Expense ratio and a 3.6 to 1.0 Total Debt to

38

EBITDA ratio. A violation of the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA covenant would be an event of default under the Partnership Credit Agreement, which would trigger cross-default provisions under certain of our debt agreements. As of March 31, 2012, the Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Partnership Credit Agreement.

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements related to a portion of our variable rate debt. In the fourth quarter of 2010, we paid $43.0 million to terminate interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $585.0 million and a weighted average rate of 4.6%. These swaps qualified for hedge accounting and were previously included on our balance sheet as a liability and in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The liability was paid in connection with the termination, and the associated amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be amortized into interest expense over the original term of the swaps. Of the total amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $3.9 million was amortized into interest expense during the first quarter of 2012 and we expect $6.8 million to be amortized into interest expense during the remainder of 2012. See Part I, Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this report for further discussion of our interest rate swap agreements.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt though cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Historically, we have financed capital expenditures with a combination of net cash provided by operating and financing activities. Our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to do so, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to maintain our fleet and to grow. If any of our lenders become unable to perform their obligations under our credit facilities, our borrowing capacity under these facilities could be reduced. Inability to borrow additional amounts under those facilities could limit our ability to fund our future growth and operations. Based on current market conditions, we expect that net cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our credit facilities will be sufficient to finance our operating expenditures, capital expenditures and scheduled interest and debt repayments through December 31, 2012; however, to the extent it is not, we may seek additional debt or equity financing.

Dividends.  We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our formation, and we do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors anticipates that all cash flows generated from operations in the foreseeable future will be retained and used to repay our debt or develop and expand our business, except for a portion of the cash flow generated from operations of the Partnership which will be used to pay distributions on its units. Any future determinations to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations and financial condition, credit and loan agreements in effect at that time and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

Partnership Distributions to Unitholders.  The Partnership’s partnership agreement requires it to distribute all of its “available cash” quarterly. Under the partnership agreement, available cash is defined generally to mean, for each fiscal quarter, (1) cash on hand at the Partnership at the end of the quarter in excess of the amount of reserves its general partner determines is necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to comply with applicable law, any of its debt instruments or other agreements or to provide for future distributions to its unitholders for any one or more of the upcoming four quarters, plus, (2) if the Partnership’s general partner so determines, all or a portion of the Partnership’s cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter.

Under the terms of the partnership agreement, there is no guarantee that unitholders will receive quarterly distributions from the Partnership. The Partnership’s distribution policy, which may be changed at any time, is subject to certain restrictions, including (1) restrictions contained in the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, (2) the Partnership’s general partner’s establishment of reserves to fund future operations or cash distributions to the Partnership’s unitholders, (3) restrictions contained in the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and (4) the Partnership’s lack of sufficient cash to pay distributions.

Through our ownership of common units and all of the equity interests in the Partnership’s general partner, we expect to receive cash distributions from the Partnership.

On April 24, 2012, Exterran GP LLC’s board of directors approved a cash distribution by the Partnership of $0.4975 per limited partner unit, or approximately $22.5 million, including distributions to the Partnership’s general partner on its incentive distribution rights. The distribution covers the period from January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012. The record date for this distribution is May 10, 2012 and payment is expected to occur on May 15, 2012.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We define gross margin as total revenue less cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense). Gross margin is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary measure used by our management as it represents the results of revenue and cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), which are key components of our operations. We believe gross margin is important because it focuses on the current operating 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 SG&A activities, the impact of our financing methods and income taxes. Depreciation 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. As an indicator of our operating performance, gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our gross margin may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate gross margin in the same manner.

Gross margin has certain material limitations associated with its use as compared to net income (loss). These limitations are primarily due to the exclusion of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, SG&A expense, impairments and restructuring charges. Each of these excluded expenses is material to our condensed consolidated results of operations. Because we intend to finance a portion of our operations through borrowings, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate revenue. Additionally, because we use capital assets, depreciation expense is a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate revenue, and SG&A expenses are necessary costs to support our operations and required corporate activities. To compensate for these limitations, management uses this non-GAAP measure as a supplemental measure to other GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of our performance.

For a reconciliation of gross margin to net income (loss), see Note 14 to the Financial Statements.

We define EBITDA, as adjusted, as net income (loss) plus income (loss) from discontinued operations (net of tax), cumulative effect of accounting changes (net of tax), income taxes, interest expense (including debt extinguishment costs and gain or loss on termination of interest rate swaps), depreciation and amortization expense, impairment charges, merger and integration expenses, restructuring charges and excluding non-cash gains or losses from foreign currency exchange rate changes recorded on intercompany obligations and other charges. We believe 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 our 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, merger and integration expenses, restructuring charges and other charges. Management uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a supplemental measure to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. Our EBITDA, as adjusted, may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner.

EBITDA, as adjusted, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities and other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Items excluded from EBITDA, as adjusted, are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business, and, therefore, EBITDA, as adjusted, should only be used as a supplemental measure of our operating performance.

The following table reconciles our net income (loss) to EBITDA, as adjusted (in thousands):

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks primarily associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We use derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with financial activities by managing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our debt obligations. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

We have significant international operations. The net assets and liabilities of these operations are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates. These operations may also have net assets and liabilities not denominated in their functional currency, which exposes us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that impact income. We recorded a foreign currency gain in our condensed consolidated statements of operations of $5.3 million in the first three months of 2012 compared to a loss of $2.6 million in the first three months of 2011. Our foreign currency gains and losses are primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations related to monetary asset balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Changes in exchange rates may create gains or losses in future periods to the extent we maintain net assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency.

As of March 31, 2012, after taking into consideration interest rate swaps, we had approximately $195.5 million of outstanding indebtedness that was effectively subject to floating interest rates. A 1% increase in the effective interest rate on our outstanding debt subject to floating interest rates would result in an annual increase in our interest expense of approximately $2.0 million.

For further information regarding our use of interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on a portion of our debt obligations, see Note 7 to the Financial Statements.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that we are able to record, process, summarize and report the information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on the evaluation, as of March 31, 2012, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, and made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, on a timely basis to ensure that it is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business we are involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. While management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, it believes that any ultimate liability arising from any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we cannot provide assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding to which we are a party will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the resolution occurs.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

There have been no material changes or updates to our risk factors that were previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, except as follows:

Recently, natural gas prices in North America have fallen to the lowest levels in more than a decade, which could decrease demand for our natural gas compression and oil and natural gas production and processing equipment and services, which could adversely affect our business.

Our revenue, earnings and financial position are affected by, among other things, market conditions that impact demand and pricing for natural gas compression and oil and natural gas production and processing.  Oil and natural gas exploration and development activity and the number of well completions typically decline when there is a sustained reduction in oil or natural gas prices or significant instability in energy markets. Even the perception of longer-term lower oil or natural gas prices by oil and natural gas exploration, development and production companies can result in their decision to cancel, reduce or postpone major expenditures or to reduce or shut in well production.  Recently, natural gas prices in North America have fallen to the lowest levels seen in more than a decade and, as a result, certain companies have announced a reduction in their natural gas drilling and production activities, particularly in dry gas areas. Additionally, in North America, compression services for our customers’ production from unconventional natural gas sources constitute an increasing percentage of our business. Some of these unconventional sources are less economic to produce in lower natural gas price environments. If the current price levels for natural gas continue or decrease further, the level of production activity and the demand for our natural gas compression and oil and natural gas production and processing equipment and services could decrease, which could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  A reduction in demand for our products and services could also force us to reduce our pricing substantially.

There are many risks associated with conducting operations in international markets.

We operate in many countries outside the U.S., and these activities accounted for a substantial amount of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011. We are exposed to risks inherent in doing business in each of the countries in which we operate. Our operations are subject to various risks unique to each country that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For example, as discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, in 2009 the Venezuelan state-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (“PDVSA”), assumed control over substantially all of our assets and operations in Venezuela.

More recently, in April 2012, Argentina assumed control over its largest oil and gas producer, Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales (“YPF”).  At March 31, 2012, we had 542,000 horsepower of compression in Argentina and $16.2 million of revenue in Argentina from YPF for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  We are unable to predict what effect, if any, the nationalization of YPF will have on our business in Argentina, or whether Argentina will nationalize additional businesses in the oil and gas industry; however, the nationalization of YPF and any such further actions by Argentina could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The risks inherent in our international business activities include the following:

·difficulties in managing international operations, including our ability to timely and cost effectively execute projects;

·unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, laws or policies by foreign agencies or governments;

·work stoppages;

·training and retaining qualified personnel in international markets;

·the burden of complying with multiple and potentially conflicting laws and regulations;

·tariffs and other trade barriers;

·actions by governments or national oil companies that result in the nullification or renegotiation on less than favorable terms of existing contracts, or otherwise result in the deprivation of contractual rights, and other difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations;

·governmental actions that result in restricting the movement of property or that impede our ability to import or export parts or equipment;

·foreign currency exchange rate risks, including the risk of currency devaluations by foreign governments;

·difficulty in collecting international accounts receivable;

42

·potentially longer receipt of payment cycles;

·changes in political and economic conditions in the countries in which we operate, including general political unrest, the nationalization of energy related assets, civil uprisings, riots, kidnappings, violence associated with drug cartels and terrorist acts;

·potentially adverse tax consequences or tax law changes;

·currency controls or restrictions on repatriation of earnings;

·expropriation, confiscation or nationalization of property without fair compensation;

·the risk that our international customers may have reduced access to credit because of higher interest rates, reduced bank lending or a deterioration in our customers’ or their lenders’ financial condition;

·complications associated with installing, operating and repairing equipment in remote locations;

·limitations on insurance coverage;

·inflation;

·the geographic, time zone, language and cultural differences among personnel in different areas of the world; and

·difficulties in establishing new international offices and the risks inherent in establishing new relationships in foreign countries.

In addition, we may plan to expand our business in international markets where we have not previously conducted business. The risks inherent in establishing new business ventures, especially in international markets where local customs, laws and business procedures present special challenges, may affect our ability to be successful in these ventures or avoid losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

New regulations, proposed regulations and proposed modifications to existing regulations under the Clean Air Act (“CAA”), if implemented, could result in increased compliance costs.

On August 20, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, published new regulations under the CAA to control emissions of hazardous air pollutants from existing stationary reciprocal internal combustion engines. The rule will require us to undertake certain expenditures and activities, likely including purchasing and installing emissions control equipment, such as oxidation catalysts or non-selective catalytic reduction equipment, on a portion of our engines located at major sources of hazardous air pollutants and all our engines over a certain size regardless of location, following prescribed maintenance practices for engines (which are consistent with our existing practices), and implementing additional emissions testing and monitoring. On October 19, 2010, we submitted a legal challenge to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and a Petition for Administrative Reconsideration to the EPA for some monitoring aspects of the rule. The legal challenge has been held in abeyance since December 3, 2010, pending the EPA’s consideration of the Petition for Administrative Reconsideration. On January 5, 2011, the EPA approved the request for reconsideration of the monitoring issues and that reconsideration process is ongoing. At this point, we cannot predict when, how or if an EPA or a court ruling would modify the final rule, and as a result we cannot currently accurately predict the cost to comply with the rule’s requirements. Compliance with the final rule is required by October 2013.

In addition, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) has finalized revisions to certain air permit programs that significantly increase the air permitting requirements for new and certain existing oil and natural gas production and gathering sites for 23 counties in the Barnett Shale production area. The final rule establishes new emissions standards for engines, which could impact the operation of specific categories of engines by requiring the use of alternative engines, compressor packages or the installation of aftermarket emissions control equipment. The rule became effective for the Barnett Shale production area in April 2011, and the lower emissions standards will become applicable between 2015 and 2030 depending on the type of engine and the permitting requirements. Our cost to comply with the revised air permit programs is not expected to be material at this time. Although the TCEQ had previously stated it would consider expanding application of the new air permit program statewide, the Texas Legislature adopted legislation

43

prohibiting such an expansion in the near term, including by preventing the TCEQ from expending funds to extend the rule’s geographic scope prior to August 31, 2013 and prior to conducting and providing to the Texas Legislature an economic impact study regarding any such expansion. At this point, we cannot predict whether or when such a geographic expansion of those rules might occur or the cost to comply with any such requirements.

On April 17, 2012, the EPA issued final rules focused on reducing the emissions of certain chemicals by the oil and natural gas industry, including volatile organic compounds, sulfur dioxide and certain air toxics. As previously reported, we submitted comments to the EPA prior to the end of the comment period on November 30, 2011. At this point, we are still reviewing the final rule and, while initial indications are that the EPA made significant changes to the rule as proposed, we cannot yet predict the cost to comply with the final rules.

These new regulations, and any other new regulations requiring the installation of more sophisticated pollution control equipment or the adoption of other environmental protection measures, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Climate change legislation and regulatory initiatives could result in increased compliance costs.

The U.S. Congress has considered legislation to restrict or regulate emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, that are understood to contribute to global warming. One bill, passed by the House of Representatives, if enacted by the full Congress, would have required greenhouse gas emissions reductions by covered sources of as much as 17% from 2005 levels by 2020 and by as much as 83% by 2050. It presently appears unlikely that comprehensive climate legislation will be passed by either house of Congress in the near future, although energy legislation and other initiatives continue to be proposed that may be relevant to greenhouse gas emissions issues. In addition, almost half of the states, either individually or through multi-state regional initiatives, have begun to address greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through the planned development of emission inventories or regional greenhouse gas cap and trade programs. Although most of the state-level initiatives have to date been focused on large sources of greenhouse gas emissions, such as electric power plants, it is possible that smaller sources such as our gas-fired compressors could become subject to greenhouse gas-related regulation. Depending on the particular program, we could be required to control emissions or to purchase and surrender allowances for greenhouse gas emissions resulting from our operations.

Independent of Congress, the EPA has adopted regulations to control greenhouse gas emissions under its existing CAA authority. The EPA has adopted rules requiring many facilities, including petroleum and natural gas systems, to inventory and report their greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the EPA in June 2010 published a final rule providing for the tailored applicability of air permitting requirements for greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA reported that the rulemaking was necessary because without it certain permitting requirements would apply as of January 2011 at an emissions level that would have greatly increased the number of sources required to obtain permits and, among other things, imposed undue costs on small sources and overwhelmed the resources of permitting authorities. In the rule, the EPA established two initial steps of phase-in to minimize those burdens, excluding certain smaller sources from greenhouse gas permitting until at least April 30, 2016. On January 2, 2011, the first step of the phase-in applied only to new projects at major sources (as defined under those CAA permitting programs) that, among other things, increase net greenhouse gas emissions by 75,000 tons per year. In July 2011, the second step of the phase-in began requiring permitting for otherwise minor sources of air emissions that have the potential to emit at least 100,000 tons per year of greenhouse gases. These rules will affect some of our and our customers’ largest new or modified facilities going forward, requiring us to obtain permits after demonstrating that those facilities will use the best available control technologies and accepting firm limits on emissions.  Additionally, no later than July 2012, the EPA must complete another rulemaking to determine whether it will expand this permitting program to additional, smaller sources via a third step of phase-in. While EPA has suggested that it could expand the permitting program to require permitting of sources emitting as little as 50,000 tons per year, on February 24, 2012, the agency proposed rules that would maintain the existing permitting thresholds in the near future.

Although it is not currently possible to predict how any proposed or future greenhouse gas legislation or regulation by Congress, the states or multi-state regions will impact our business, any legislation or regulation of greenhouse gas emissions that may be imposed in areas in which we conduct business could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions or reduced demand for our services, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
