$19.0 million of income tax charges related to a legal entity restructuring and a foreign tax assessment for a prior period;
·  
$4.3 million non-cash impairment charge related to our North America fleet; and
·  
a $2.3 million restructuring charge primarily related to severance and the consolidation of our fabrication facilities in North America.
 
Revenue was $654.7 million for the fourth quarter 2009, compared to $679.7 million for the third quarter 2009 and $791.9 million for the fourth quarter 2008.  EBITDA, as adjusted (as defined below), was $139.6 million for the fourth quarter 2009, and excludes the benefit related to the Venezuela insurance recovery and the gain on the sale of the Cawthorne Channel investment.  EBITDA, as adjusted, was $161.1 million for the third quarter 2009 and $193.1 million for the fourth quarter 2008.

Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter 2009 attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding charges, was $24.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, and net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter 2008 attributable to Exterran stockholders, excluding charges, was $43.7 million, or $0.67 per diluted share.

Ernie L. Danner, Exterran Holdings’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the fourth quarter we experienced a continued reduction in our North America contract operations activity levels, although at a moderating rate.  However, we achieved increased revenues and gross margin dollar contribution in our international contract operations business over third quarter results and an improved level of bookings for our product offerings that led to a stabilization of our fabrication backlog.  With a continued focus on operating and capital costs, we generated significant cash flow and reduced our outstanding debt balance by $125 million in the fourth quarter.

“Looking ahead to 2010, we are encouraged by some positive indicators in the North American natural gas market including reduced storage levels, increased drilling activity and a moderate increase in customer inquiry levels across our product lines.  However, overall market conditions remain challenging in this key market, where we will continue to focus on managing our total costs and redeploying our idle units.  In our Latin America and Eastern Hemisphere operations, we will focus on the successful startup of new international contract operations projects throughout 2010.  We expect net capital expenditures of $250 million to $300 million in 2010.  With expected continuing positive cash flow, we plan to continue reducing our debt balances during 2010.”
 
Exterran Partners, L.P. Financial Results
 
Exterran Partners reported revenue of $47.1 million for the fourth quarter 2009, compared to $41.3 million for the third quarter 2009 and $49.1 million for the fourth quarter 2008.  Net income was $3.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted limited partner unit, for the fourth quarter 2009, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted limited partner unit, for the third quarter 2009 and $7.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted limited partner unit, for the fourth quarter 2008.  Excluding a $0.2 million non-cash fleet impairment charge, net income for the fourth quarter 2009 was $3.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted limited partner unit.

Exterran Partners’ EBITDA, as further adjusted (as defined below), totaled $21.6 million for the fourth quarter 2009, compared to $18.4 million for the third quarter 2009 and $23.8 million for the fourth quarter 2008.  Distributable cash flow (as defined below) totaled $13.2 million for the fourth quarter 2009, compared to $10.6 million for the third quarter 2009 and $14.1 million for the fourth quarter 2008.

“Fourth quarter highlights included the completion of the acquisition of an additional 270,000 horsepower from Exterran Holdings on November 10, 2009, which enhanced the distributable cash flow and financial position of Exterran Partners,” commented Mr. Danner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Exterran Partners’ managing general partner.  “In connection with this acquisition, Exterran Partners entered into a new $150 million asset-backed securitization facility, $30 million of which was used to partially fund the transaction and the remainder of which is available to fund additional transactions.”

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

(2) Distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is a significant liquidity metric used by management to compare basic cash flows generated by us to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions.

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