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. (“Exterran”, “our”, “we” or “us”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) (“GAAP”) 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 GAAP are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted. Management believes that the information furnished includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. That report contains a more comprehensive summary of our accounting policies. The interim results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Revenue Recognition

Contract operations revenue is recognized when earned, which generally occurs monthly when service is provided under our customer contracts. Aftermarket services revenue is recognized 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. We estimate production and processing equipment fabrication percentage-of-completion 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 with nonforfeitable rights to receive 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 with nonforfeitable rights to 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.

The following table summarizes net income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Exterran stockholders	$	23,466	$	2,450	$	51,331	$	(100,610	)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Components of comprehensive income (loss) are net income (loss) and all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from transactions with owners. Our accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, net of tax, that are designated as cash flow hedges and to the extent the hedge is effective and adjustments related to changes in our ownership of Exterran Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”). The following tables present the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component, net of tax and excluding noncontrolling interest, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Derivatives -			Foreign Currency

(1) During each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, we recognized a loss of $0.6 million in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, related to changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments.

(2) During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified a $0.8 million loss, net of a tax benefit of $0.3 million, to interest expense and provision for (benefit from) income taxes, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified a $2.5 million loss, net of a tax benefit of $0.9 million, to interest expense and provision for (benefit from) income taxes, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

(3) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized a gain of $2.5 million and a loss of $3.6 million, respectively, in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, related to changes in foreign currency translation adjustment.

(4) During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified a loss of $5.1 million related to foreign currency translation adjustment to income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified losses of $5.1 million and $2.4 million related to foreign currency translation adjustments to income from discontinued operations, net of tax, and long-lived asset impairment, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. These amounts represent cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments associated with our contract operations and aftermarket services businesses in Canada (“Canadian Operations”) and a United Kingdom entity that previously had been recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). See Note 2 for further discussion of the sale of our Canadian Operations. Additionally, as discussed in Note 9, we sold the entity that owned our fabrication facility in the United Kingdom in July 2013 and, we recognized an impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 based on the net transaction value set forth in our agreement to sell this entity.

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, receivables, payables, interest rate swaps and debt. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying amounts as reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our fixed rate debt was estimated based on quoted market yields in inactive markets or model-derived calculations using market yields observed in active markets, which are Level 2 inputs. The fair value of our floating rate debt was estimated using a 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.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount and fair value of our debt as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Fixed rate debt	$	1,032,808	$	1,064,000	$	814,423	$	857,000
Floating rate debt	531,500		531,000		750,500		761,000
Total debt	$	1,564,308	$	1,595,000	$	1,564,923	$	1,618,000

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. The expropriation of our business in Venezuela meets the criteria established for recognition as discontinued operations under GAAP. Therefore, our Venezuela contract operations business is reflected as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 under the agreement between Spain and Venezuela for the Reciprocal Promotion and Protection of Investments and under Venezuelan law. The arbitration hearing occurred in July 2012.

In August 2012, our Venezuelan subsidiary sold its previously nationalized assets to PDVSA Gas, S.A. (“PDVSA Gas”) for a purchase price of approximately $441.7 million. We received an initial payment of $176.7 million in cash at closing, of which we remitted $50.0 million to repay the amount we collected in January 2010 under the terms of an insurance policy we maintained for the risk of expropriation. We received an installment payment of $16.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. We received installment payments totaling $17.4 million and $51.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The remaining principal amount due to us of approximately $199 million is payable in quarterly cash installments through the third quarter of 2016. We have not recognized amounts payable to us by PDVSA Gas as a receivable and will therefore recognize quarterly payments received in the future as income from discontinued operations in the periods such payments are received. The proceeds from the sale of assets are not subject to Venezuelan national taxes due to an exemption allowed under the Venezuelan Reserve Law applicable to expropriation settlements. In addition, and in connection with the sale, we and the Venezuelan government agreed to waive rights to assert certain claims against each other.

In connection with the sale of these assets, we have agreed to suspend the arbitration proceeding previously filed by our Spanish subsidiary against Venezuela pending payment in full by PDVSA Gas of the purchase price for these nationalized assets.

In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced a devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. This devaluation resulted in a translation gain of approximately $1.4 million on the remeasurement of our net liability position associated with our discontinued operations in Venezuela and is reflected in other (income) loss, net, in the table below during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The functional currency of our Venezuelan subsidiary is the U.S. dollar and we had more liabilities than assets denominated in bolivars in Venezuela at the time of the devaluation. The exchange rate used to remeasure our net liabilities changed from 4.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar at December 31, 2012 to 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar in February 2013.

In June 2012, we committed to a plan to sell our Canadian Operations as part of our continued emphasis on simplification and focus on our core businesses. Our Canadian Operations are reflected as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements. These operations were previously included in our North American contract operations and aftermarket services business segments. In connection with the planned disposition, we recorded impairment charges totaling $6.0 million and $68.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The impairment charges are reflected in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In July 2013, we completed the sale of our Canadian Operations to Ironline Compression Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Staple Street Capital L.L.C. We received the following consideration for the sale of the Canadian Operations (specified in either U.S. dollars (“$”) or Canadian dollars (“CDN$”)): (i) cash proceeds of $12.4 million, net of transaction expenses and subject to adjustment upon the final determination of the balance in accounts receivable of the Canadian Operations at June 30, 2013, (ii) a note receivable of CDN$6.6 million, subject to adjustment upon the final determination of the balances in certain components of current assets and current liabilities of the Canadian Operations at June 30, 2013, (iii) contingent consideration of CDN$5.0 million based upon the Canadian Operations reaching a specified performance threshold prior to December 31, 2016 and (iv) a potential tax refund related to the Canadian Operations of CDN$1.6 million if such amounts are received by the Canadian Operations.

5. Investments in Non-Consolidated Affiliates

Investments in affiliates we do not control but where we have the ability to exercise significant control over the operations are accounted for using the equity method.

We own a 30.0% interest in WilPro Energy Services (PIGAP II) Limited and 33.3% interest in WilPro Energy Services (El Furrial) Limited, joint ventures that provided natural gas compression and injection services in Venezuela. In May 2009, PDVSA assumed control over the assets of our Venezuelan joint ventures and transitioned the operations, including the hiring of their employees, to PDVSA. In March 2011, our Venezuelan joint ventures, 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.

In March 2012, our Venezuelan joint ventures sold their assets to PDVSA Gas. We received an initial payment of $37.6 million in March 2012, and received installment payments totaling $14.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. We received installment payments totaling $4.8 million and $14.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The remaining principal amount due to us of approximately $44 million is payable in quarterly cash installments through the first quarter of 2016. We have not recognized amounts payable to us by PDVSA Gas as a receivable and will therefore recognize quarterly payments received in the future as equity in (income) loss of non-consolidated affiliates in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the periods such payments are received. In connection with the sale of our Venezuelan joint ventures’ assets, the 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.

Other, interest at various rates, collateralized by equipment and other assets	270		—
Long-term debt	$	1,564,308	$	1,564,923

In January 2013, we redeemed for cash all $143.8 million principal amount outstanding of our 4.75% convertible senior notes (the “4.75% Notes”) at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon redemption, the 4.75% Notes were no longer deemed outstanding, interest ceased to accrue thereon and all rights of the holders of the 4.75% Notes ceased to exist. We financed the redemption of the 4.75% Notes through borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As a result of the redemption, we expensed $0.9 million of unamortized deferred financing costs in the first quarter of 2013, which is reflected in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In March 2012, we amended our senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to decrease the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility by $200.0 million to $900.0 million. As a result, 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.

As of September 30, 2013, we had $156.5 million in outstanding borrowings and $113.7 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2013, taking into account guarantees through letters of credit, we had undrawn and available capacity of $629.8 million under the Credit Facility.

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 classified as long-term because we have the intent and ability to refinance the maturity of the notes with our existing Credit Facility or through conversion of the notes into common shares. 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 can be converted exceeds their principal amount by $67.8 million as of September 30, 2013. We may not redeem the 4.25% Notes prior to their maturity date.

In March 2012, the Partnership amended its senior secured credit agreement (the “Partnership Credit Agreement”) to increase the borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility by $200.0 million to $750.0 million. In March 2013, the Partnership Credit Agreement was amended to reduce the borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility to $650.0 million and extend the maturity date of the term loan and revolving credit facilities to May 2018. The amendment decreased the applicable margins for the Partnership’s revolving credit and term loan facilities by 25 basis points and 50 basis points, respectively. Additionally, following this amendment and upon the issuance of the Partnership’s 6% senior notes discussed below, the maximum allowed ratio of Total Debt (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) to EBITDA (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) increased to 5.25 to 1.0 (subject to a temporary increase to 5.5 to 1.0 for any quarter during which an acquisition meeting certain thresholds is completed and for the following two quarters after the acquisition closes) and the maximum allowed ratio of Senior Secured Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to EBITDA is 4.0 to 1.0. As a result of the March 2013 amendment, we expensed $0.7 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, which is reflected in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, the Partnership incurred transaction costs of approximately $4.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to the amendments to the Partnership Credit Agreement. These costs were included in intangible and other assets, net, and are

Table of Contents

being amortized over the terms of the facilities. As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership had undrawn and available capacity of $425.0 million under its revolving credit facility.

In March 2013, the Partnership issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6% senior notes due April 2021 (the “Partnership 6% Notes”). The Partnership used the net proceeds of $336.9 million, after original issuance discount and issuance costs, to repay borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The Partnership 6% Notes were issued at an original issuance discount of $5.5 million, which is being amortized using the effective interest method at an interest rate of 6.25% over their term. During the first quarter of 2013, the Partnership incurred approximately $7.6 million in transaction costs related to this issuance. These costs were included in intangible and other assets, net, and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Partnership 6% Notes. The Partnership 6% Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the U.S. except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Partnership offered and issued the Partnership 6% Notes only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the U.S. pursuant to Regulation S. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Partnership is required to register the Partnership 6% Notes no later than 365 days after March 27, 2013.

The Partnership 6% Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of the Partnership’s existing subsidiaries (other than EXLP Finance Corp., which is a co-issuer of the Partnership 6% Notes) and certain of the Partnership’s future subsidiaries. The Partnership 6% Notes and the guarantees, respectively, are the Partnership’s and the guarantors’ general unsecured senior obligations, rank equally in right of payment with all of the Partnership’s and the guarantors’ other senior obligations, and are effectively subordinated to all of the Partnership’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. In addition, the Partnership 6% Notes and guarantees are effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of any future non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Prior to April 1, 2017, the Partnership may redeem all or a part of the Partnership 6% 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, the Partnership may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Partnership 6% Notes prior to April 1, 2016 with the net proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.000% of the principal amount of the Partnership 6% Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Partnership 6% Notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering. On or after April 1, 2017, the Partnership may redeem all or a part of the Partnership 6% Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 103.000% for the twelve-month period beginning on April 1, 2017, 101.500% for the twelve-month period beginning on April 1, 2018 and 100.000% for the twelve-month period beginning on April 1, 2019 and at any time thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date on the Partnership 6% Notes.

7. Accounting for Derivatives

We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest 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.

Interest Rate Risk

At September 30, 2013, the Partnership was a party to interest rate swaps pursuant to which it makes fixed payments and receives floating payments on a notional value of $250.0 million. The Partnership entered into these swaps to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the associated variable interest rates. These interest rate swaps expire in May 2018. As of September 30, 2013, the weighted average effective fixed interest rate on the interest rate swaps was 1.7%. 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. As 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, 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. There was no ineffectiveness related to interest rate swaps during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. We estimate that $3.4 million of deferred pre-tax losses attributable to existing interest rate swaps and included in our accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at September 30, 2013, 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, unless the

Table of Contents

derivative contract contains a significant financing element; in this case, the cash settlements for these derivatives are classified as cash flows from financing activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

In May 2013, the Partnership amended its existing interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $250.0 million to adjust the fixed interest rates and extend the maturity dates to May 2018 consistent with the maturity date of the Partnership Credit Agreement. These amendments effectively created new derivative contracts and terminated the old derivative contracts. As a result, we designated the new hedge relationships under the amended terms and de-designated the original hedge relationships as of the termination date. Upon the designation of the new hedge relationships, we recorded an inception gain of $9.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is being amortized into interest expense over the terms of the new hedge relationships. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified $0.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of pre-tax inception gains from these new hedge relationships into interest expense. We estimate that $3.5 million of deferred pre-tax inception gains from these new hedge relationships will be amortized into interest expense during the next twelve months. The original hedge relationships qualified for hedge accounting and were included at their fair value in our balance sheet as a liability and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements immediately prior to the execution of the amendments was a liability of $8.8 million. The associated amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is being amortized into interest expense over the original terms of the swaps. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of pre-tax losses from these terminated interest rate swaps into interest expense. We estimate that $3.8 million of deferred pre-tax losses from these terminated interest rate swaps will be amortized into interest expense during the next twelve months.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Partnership and 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) is being amortized into interest expense over the original terms of the swaps. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of pre-tax losses from these terminated interest rate swaps into interest expense. We estimate that $1.0 million of deferred pre-tax losses from these terminated interest rate swaps will be amortized into interest expense during the next twelve months.

The counterparties to the 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 adverse effect on us. The Partnership has no specific collateral posted for its derivative instruments. The counterparties to the interest rate swaps are also lenders under the Partnership’s senior secured credit facility 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013							December 31, 2012

Interest rate swaps liability	$	—	$	(4,604	)	$	—	$	—	$	(9,916	)	$	—

On a quarterly basis, the 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 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013						Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Impaired long-lived assets	$	—	$	—	$	5,508	$	—	$	—	$	32,355
Impaired long-lived assets —Discontinued operations	—		—		—		—		—		1,959
Long-term receivable from the sale of our Canadian Operations	—		—		7,556		—		—		—

Our estimate of the impaired long-lived assets’ fair value was primarily based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold, as well as our review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use. Because we expected the disposition of the fleet assets we impaired during the second quarter of 2012 to take more than twelve months, we discounted the expected proceeds, net of selling and other carrying costs, using a weighted average disposal period of four years and a discount rate of 10.4%. Impaired long-lived assets in the table above also includes our estimate of the fair value of the impaired assets of the entity that owned our fabrication facility in the United Kingdom, which was based on the net transaction value set forth in our July 2013 agreement to sell this entity. Our estimate of the fair value of the impaired assets that are classified as discontinued operations was based on our expected proceeds, net of selling costs, set forth in our July 2013 agreement to sell our Canadian Operations. Our estimate of the fair value of the long-term receivable from the sale of our Canadian Operations, which included a note receivable and contingent consideration, was discounted based on a settlement period of 5.5 years, a discount rate of 13% and a probability weighted factor of the achievement of the specified performance threshold.

9. Long-Lived Asset Impairment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we evaluated the future deployment of our idle fleet and determined to retire and either sell or re-utilize the key components of approximately 225 idle compressor units, representing approximately 58,000 horsepower, that we previously used to provide services in our North America contract operations segment. As a result, we performed an impairment review and recorded an $11.0 million asset impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value. The fair value of each unit was estimated based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold, as well as our review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we committed to a plan to abandon our contract water treatment business as part of our continued emphasis on simplification and focus on our core businesses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we evaluated our contract water treatment business and recorded long-lived asset impairments of $2.4 million. The fair value of our contract water treatment assets was based on expected net sales proceeds of idle assets that have been culled from our fleet. We expect the abandonment of this business to be completed by December 31, 2013.

In July 2013, as part of our continued emphasis on simplification and focus on our core business, we sold the entity that owned our fabrication facility in the United Kingdom. As of June 30, 2013, all assets and liabilities of this entity met the criteria for held for sale and were reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value based on the net transaction value set forth in our agreement to sell this entity. As a result, we recorded impairment charges of $11.9 million to reduce the book value of the business to its estimated fair value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we evaluated other long-lived assets for impairment and recorded long-lived asset impairments of $1.8 million on these assets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we evaluated the future deployment of our idle fleet and determined to retire and either sell or re-utilize the key components of approximately 920 idle compressor units, representing approximately 316,000 horsepower, that we previously used to provide services in our North America contract operations segment. As a result, we performed an impairment review and recorded a $96.5 million asset impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value. The fair value of each unit was estimated based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold, as well as our review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use.

In connection with our 2012 fleet review, we evaluated for impairment idle units that had been culled from our fleet in prior years and were available for sale. Based upon that review, we reduced the expected proceeds from disposition for most of the remaining units and increased the weighted average disposal period for the units from the assumptions used in prior periods. This resulted in an additional impairment of $34.8 million to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we evaluated other long-lived assets for impairment and recorded long-lived asset impairments of $4.7 million on these assets.

10. Restructuring Charges

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $5.8 million of restructuring charges primarily related to termination benefits and consulting services. These charges are reflected as restructuring charges in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plan

In April 2013, we adopted the Exterran Holdings, Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) to provide for the granting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, other stock-based awards and dividend equivalent rights to employees, directors and consultants of Exterran. Under the 2013 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards is 6,500,000. Each option and stock appreciation right granted counts as one share against the aggregate share limit, and any share subject to a stock settled award other than a stock option, stock appreciation right or other award for which the recipient pays intrinsic value counts as 1.75 shares against the aggregate share limit. Awards granted under the 2013 Plan that are subsequently cancelled, terminated or forfeited are available for future grant. Cash settled awards are not counted against the aggregate share limit.

Stock Options

Stock options are granted at fair market value at the grant date, are exercisable according to 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 grant date. Stock options generally vest 33 1/3% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

The weighted average grant date fair value for stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $10.19, and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
Expected life in years	4.5
Risk-free interest rate	0.66	%
Volatility	49.19	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the grant date 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 any dividends and do not expect to pay any dividends during the expected life of the stock options.

The following table presents stock option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

	Stock Options (in thousands)		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Life (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Options outstanding, December 31, 2012	2,584		$	27.02
Granted	177		25.04
Exercised	(321	)	17.60
Cancelled	(138	)	31.23
Options outstanding, September 30, 2013	2,302		27.93		3.6	$	17,490
Options exercisable, September 30, 2013	1,663		32.84		2.9	9,555

Intrinsic value is the difference between the market value of our stock and the exercise price of each stock option multiplied by the number of stock options outstanding for those stock options where the market value exceeds their exercise price. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $3.0 million. As of September 30, 2013, we expect $2.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Cash Settled Restricted Stock Units and Cash Settled Performance Awards

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 grant date. We remeasure the fair value of cash settled restricted stock units and cash settled performance awards and record a cumulative adjustment of the expense previously recognized. Our obligation related to the cash settled restricted stock units and cash settled performance awards is reflected as a liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, cash settled restricted stock units and cash settled performance awards 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, cash settled restricted stock unit and cash settled performance award activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

	Shares (in thousands)		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share
Non-vested awards, December 31, 2012	1,992		$	16.12
Granted	702		25.10
Vested	(822	)	18.43
Cancelled	(98	)	19.29
Non-vested awards, September 30, 2013(1)	1,774		18.43

(1) Non-vested awards as of September 30, 2013 are comprised of 404 thousand cash settled restricted stock units and cash settled performance awards and 1,370 thousand restricted stock shares and restricted stock units.

As of September 30, 2013, we expect $26.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock, restricted stock units, cash settled restricted stock units and cash settled performance awards to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

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, we amended the ESPP to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock available for purchase under the ESPP to 1,000,000. At September 30, 2013, 254,295 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP. Our ESPP is compensatory and, as a result, we record an expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the ESPP. The purchase discount under the ESPP is 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’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Partnership Plan”) was adopted, in October 2006 for employees, directors and consultants of the Partnership, us and our respective affiliates. A maximum of 1,035,378 common units, common unit options, restricted units and phantom units are available under the Partnership Plan. The Partnership Plan is administered by the board of directors of Exterran GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership’s general partner, or a committee thereof (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 market value of a common unit.

Table of Contents

Partnership Phantom Units

The following table presents phantom unit activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

	Phantom Units (in thousands)		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Unit
Phantom units outstanding, December 31, 2012	64		$	23.62
Granted	55		23.76
Vested	(20	)	24.28
Cancelled	(5	)	24.31
Phantom units outstanding, September 30, 2013	94		23.52

As of September 30, 2013, we expect $1.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested phantom units to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.9 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 Potential Undiscounted Payments as of September 30, 2013
Performance guarantees through letters of credit(1)	2013-2017	$	187,951
Standby letters of credit	2013-2014	13,399
Commercial letters of credit	2014	2,062
Bid bonds and performance bonds(1)	2013-2021	86,796
Maximum potential undiscounted payments		$	290,208

(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 2016.

See Note 2 and Note 5 for a discussion of our gain contingencies related to assets that were expropriated in Venezuela.

The Texas Legislature enacted changes related to the appraisal of natural gas compressors for ad valorem tax purposes by expanding the definitions of “Heavy Equipment Dealer” and “Heavy Equipment” effective from the beginning of 2012 (the “Heavy Equipment Statutes”). Under the revised statutes, we believe we are a Heavy Equipment Dealer, that our natural gas compressors are Heavy Equipment and that we, therefore, are required to file our ad valorem tax renditions under this new methodology. A large number of appraisal review boards denied our position, and we filed petitions for review in the appropriate district courts.

During August and September of 2013, we were party to one of two Heavy Equipment Statutes cases tried and completed in a Texas state district court. The cases were heard by the same court and in each case the court held that the revised Heavy Equipment Statutes apply to natural gas compressors. However, the court further held that the revised Heavy Equipment Statutes are unconstitutional as applied to natural gas compressors which is favorable to the county appraisal districts. We continue to believe that the revised statutes are constitutional as applied to natural gas compressors and intend to appeal the court’s decision in our case.

As a result of the new methodology, our ad valorem tax expense (which is reflected on our condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)) includes a benefit of $6.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Since the change in methodology became effective in 2012, we have recorded an aggregate benefit of $12.8 million as of September 30, 2013, of which approximately $3.3 million has been agreed to by a number of appraisal review boards and county appraisal districts and $9.5 million has been disputed and is currently in litigation. If we are unsuccessful in any of the cases with the appraisal districts, the additional ad valorem tax payments may also be subject to penalties and interest.

Table of Contents

In addition to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, we are subject to a number of taxes that are not income-based. As many of these taxes are subject to audit by the taxing authorities, it is possible that an audit could result in additional taxes due. We accrue for such additional taxes when we determine that it is probable that we have incurred a liability and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the liability. We do not believe that such payments would be material to our consolidated financial position but cannot provide assurance that the resolution of an audit would not be material to our results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the resolution occurs.

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 workers’ 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, 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.

13. Recent Accounting Developments

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to the authoritative guidance related to the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Under this update, entities are required to present changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component including the amount of the change that is due to reclassification and the amount that is due to current period other comprehensive income (loss). Entities are also required to present on the face of the financials where net income (loss) is reported or in the footnotes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by the respective line items of net income (loss). The disclosure amendments in this update require a prescribed presentation, but do not require any additional disclosures and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The new presentation requirements did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an update to the authoritative guidance related to presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The update clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the jurisdiction’s tax law does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in the update are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on our 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 related to

Table of Contents

the manufacturing of critical process equipment for refinery and petrochemical facilities, the fabrication of tank farms and evaporators and brine heaters for desalination plants.

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

The following tables present revenue and other financial information by reportable segment (in thousands):

15. Transactions Related to the Partnership

In March 2013, we sold to the Partnership contract operations customer service agreements with 50 customers and a fleet of 363 compressor units used to provide compression services under those agreements, comprising approximately 256,000 horsepower, or 8% (by then available horsepower) of our and the Partnership’s combined U.S. contract operations business. The assets sold also included 204 compressor units, comprising approximately 99,000 horsepower, that we previously leased to the Partnership and contracts relating to approximately 6,000 horsepower of compressor units the Partnership already owned and previously leased to us. Total consideration for the transaction was approximately $174.0 million, excluding transaction costs, and consisted of the Partnership’s issuance to us of approximately 7.1 million common units and approximately 145,000 general partner units. As a result, adjustments were made to noncontrolling interest, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), deferred income taxes and additional paid-in capital to reflect our new ownership percentage in 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 and the Partnership’s combined U.S. contract operations business. The assets sold also 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. Total consideration for the transaction was approximately $182.8 million, excluding transaction costs, and consisted of the Partnership’s payment of $77.4 million in cash and assumption of $105.4 million of our long-term debt.

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 $114.5 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 Exterran General Partner, L.P. (“GP”), our wholly-owned subsidiary and the Partnership’s general partner, approximately 101,000 general partner units to maintain the GP’s approximate 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership. As a result, adjustments were made to noncontrolling interest, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), deferred income taxes and additional paid-in capital to reflect our new ownership percentage in the Partnership.

The following table 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 stockholders (in thousands):

General

Exterran Holdings, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Exterran”, “our”, “we” or “us”), 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 use our fleet of natural gas compression equipment and crude oil production and processing equipment to provide operations services to our customers. In our fabrication business line, we fabricate equipment for sale to our customers and for use in our contract operations services. In addition, our fabrication business line provides engineering, procurement and fabrication services 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 offer our customers, on either a contract operations basis or a sale basis, the engineering, design, project management, procurement and construction services necessary to incorporate our products into production, processing and compression facilities which we refer to as Integrated Projects. 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 September 30, 2013, public unitholders held a 59% ownership interest in the Partnership and we owned the remaining equity interest, including all of the general partner interest and incentive distribution rights. The Partnership’s general partner 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 equity interests in the Partnership. As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership’s fleet included 5,428 compressor units comprising approximately 2,391,000 horsepower, or 70% of our and the Partnership’s combined total U.S. horsepower. The Partnership’s fleet included 244 compressor units with an aggregate horsepower of approximately 96,000

Table of Contents

leased from our wholly-owned subsidiaries and excluded 23 compressor units with an aggregate horsepower of approximately 7,000 owned by the Partnership but leased to our wholly-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2013.

In March 2013, we sold to the Partnership contract operations customer service agreements with 50 customers and a fleet of 363 compressor units used to provide compression services under those agreements, comprising approximately 256,000 horsepower, or 8% (by then available horsepower) of our and the Partnership’s combined U.S. contract operations business (the “March 2013 Contract Operations Acquisition”). The assets sold also included 204 compressor units, comprising approximately 99,000 horsepower, that we previously leased to the Partnership and contracts relating to approximately 6,000 horsepower of compressor units the Partnership already owned and previously leased to us. Total consideration for the transaction was approximately $174.0 million, excluding transaction costs, and consisted of the Partnership’s issuance to us of approximately 7.1 million common units and approximately 145,000 general partner units. As a result, adjustments were made to noncontrolling interest, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), deferred income taxes and additional paid-in capital to reflect our new ownership percentage in the Partnership.

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 is typically less impacted by commodity prices than certain other energy service products and services, changes in oil and natural gas exploration and production spending normally result in changes in demand for our products and services.

Natural gas consumption in the U.S. for the twelve months ended July 31, 2013 increased by approximately 3% over the twelve months ended July 31, 2012, and is expected to increase by 0.5% in 2013 and by an average of 0.5% per year thereafter until 2035 according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”). The EIA projects that natural gas consumption worldwide will increase by 1.6% per year until 2035.

Natural gas marketed production in the U.S. for the twelve months ended July 31, 2013 increased by approximately 2% over the twelve months ended July 31, 2012. The EIA forecasts that total U.S. marketed production will increase by 1% in 2013 compared to 2012. In 2011, the U.S. accounted for an estimated annual production of approximately 24 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, or 19% of the worldwide total of approximately 124 trillion cubic feet. The EIA estimates that the U.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 and our customers’ decisions among using our products and services, using our competitors’ products and services or owning and operating the equipment themselves.

In the second half of 2011, we embarked on a multi-year plan to improve the profitability of our operations. We implemented certain key profitability initiatives associated with this plan in 2012, and we are implementing additional process initiatives intended to improve operating efficiency and reduce our cost structure throughout 2013. These profitability initiatives have positively impacted all of our business segments, and we expect additional positive impact in 2014.

During the first nine months of 2013, we saw steady activity in North America shale plays and areas focused on the production of oil and natural gas liquids. This new development activity has increased the overall amount of compression horsepower in the industry and in our business in North America; however, these increases continue to be offset by horsepower declines in more mature and predominantly dry gas markets, where we provide a significant amount of contract operations services. In early 2012, natural gas prices in North America fell to their lowest levels in more than a decade. Since then, natural gas prices in North America have improved, but still remain at low levels which could limit natural gas production growth in North America, particularly in dry gas areas. We believe that the low natural gas price environment, as well as the recent capital investment in new equipment by our competitors and other third parties, could decrease demand for our natural gas compression and oil and natural gas production and processing equipment and services in North America. Booking activity levels for our North America fabricated products during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 have decreased from relatively high levels in the prior year. Despite lower backlog levels for our fabricated products, we believe our North America fabrication revenue in 2013 will be higher than the results achieved in 2012.

Table of Contents

In international markets, we believe demand for our contract operations and fabricated projects will continue 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.

Our level of capital spending depends on our forecast for the demand for our products and services and the equipment required to provide services to our customers. We anticipate investing similar levels of capital in our contract operations fleet in 2013 as in 2012.

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, 2014; however, to the extent it is not, we may seek additional debt or equity financing. We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or other debt 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.

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 depend on, among other things, market and economic conditions, our ability to agree with the Partnership regarding the terms of any purchase and the availability to the Partnership of debt and equity capital on reasonable terms.

Summary of Results

As discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, the results from continuing operations for all periods presented exclude the results of our Venezuelan contract operations business and Canadian contract operations and aftermarket services businesses. Those results are reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

Revenue. Revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $776.0 million compared to $718.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. Revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2,424.7 million compared to $1,964.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily caused by higher fabrication revenue.

Net income (loss) attributable to Exterran stockholders and EBITDA, as adjusted. We recorded net income attributable to Exterran stockholders of $41.0 million and $100.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and net income attributable to Exterran stockholders of $113.4 million and net loss attributable to Exterran stockholders of $33.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The decrease in net income attributable to Exterran stockholders during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, partially offset by higher gross margin in our fabrication segment. The increase in net income attributable to Exterran stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to an increase in gross margins in our fabrication and North America contract operations segments and a decrease in long-lived asset impairments of $108.8 million, partially offset by a decrease of $32.9 million in cash payments received from the sale of our Venezuelan joint ventures’ assets and a decrease in income from discontinued operations. Our EBITDA, as adjusted, was $155.9 million and $479.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $126.4 million and $324.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. EBITDA, as adjusted, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was favorably impacted by higher gross margins as discussed above. 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.”

Gross margin	$	81,600		$	76,315		7	%
Gross margin percentage	53		%	50		%	3	%

The increase in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to an increase in rates and a 1% increase in average operating horsepower, partially offset by a $3.3 million decrease in revenue due to the termination of three natural gas processing plant contracts during the second quarter of 2013 and a $1.6 million decrease in revenue from our contract water treatment business. The increases in gross margin (defined as revenue less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and gross margin percentage during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 were primarily caused by the revenue increase explained above and better management of field operating expenses from the implementation of profitability improvement initiatives. 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.

The increases in revenue and gross margin during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 were due to a $4.4 million increase in revenue in Mexico primarily due to contracts that commenced or were expanded in scope in 2012 and 2013, a $3.5 million increase in revenue in Argentina primarily due to inflation rate adjustments, a $2.9 million increase in revenue in Indonesia due to a rate increase and contracts that commenced during 2013 and a $2.2 million increase in revenue in Trinidad and Iraq due to contracts that commenced in 2013. These increases were partially offset by an $8.3 million decrease in revenue in Brazil primarily resulting from the recognition of revenue with little incremental cost during the prior year period on terminated contracts. Gross margin percentage during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased due to the recognition of revenue on terminated contracts in Brazil during the three months ended September 30, 2012 mentioned above, partially offset by the rate increases in Argentina and Indonesia mentioned above.

The increase in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to an increase in revenue in Latin America of $4.3 million and an increase in revenue in the Eastern Hemisphere of $3.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in revenue in North America of $1.3 million. The increase in gross margin during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily driven by increases in gross margin in Latin America and North America, partially offset by lower current period margins on work performed in the Eastern Hemisphere.

The increase in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a $48.6 million increase in revenue in the Eastern Hemisphere, partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $3.9 million in North America. The increase in revenue in the Eastern Hemisphere was largely caused by an increase of $38.8 million and $6.4 million in compressor fabrication revenue and production and processing equipment fabrication revenue, respectively. The increases in gross margin and gross margin percentage were primarily caused by the revenue increase explained above, improved margins on projects in North America and a reduction in operating expenses from the implementation of profitability improvement initiatives, partially offset by cost overruns on a large turnkey project during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a $3.9 million increase in professional, consulting and legal expenses, a $1.5 million increase in compensation and benefit costs and a $1.1 million increase in bad debt expense. SG&A as a percentage of revenue was 12% during each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Depreciation and amortization expense during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased primarily due to reduced depreciation expense on terminated contract operations projects in Brazil, partially offset by increased depreciation expense due to property, plant and equipment additions.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we evaluated the future deployment of our idle fleet and determined to retire and either sell or re-utilize the key components of approximately 55 idle compressor units, representing approximately 18,000 horsepower, that we previously used to provide services in our North America contract operations segment. As a result, we performed an impairment review and recorded a $3.9 million asset impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value. The fair value of each unit was estimated based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold, as well as our review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we committed to a plan to abandon our contract water treatment business as part of our continued emphasis on simplification and focus on our core businesses. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we evaluated our contract water treatment business and recorded long-lived asset impairments of $2.4 million. The fair value of our contract water treatment assets was based on expected net sales proceeds of idle assets that have been culled from our fleet. We expect the abandonment of this business to be completed by December 31, 2013.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we evaluated other long-lived assets for impairment and recorded long-lived asset impairments of $0.6 million on these assets.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we evaluated other long-lived assets for impairment and recorded long-lived asset impairments of $3.2 million on these assets.

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 ongoing operating costs and to adjust the size of our workforce to be consistent with then current and expected activity levels. A significant portion of the workforce cost reduction program was completed in 2011, with the remainder completed in 2012. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $1.5 million of restructuring charges primarily related to termination benefits. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of these charges.

The decrease in interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a lower average balance of long-term debt.

In March 2012, our Venezuelan joint ventures sold their assets to PDVSA Gas. We received an installment payment of $4.8 million during each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The remaining principal amount due to us of approximately $44 million is payable in quarterly cash installments through the first quarter of 2016. Payments we receive from the sale will be recognized as equity in (income) loss of non-consolidated affiliates in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the periods such payments are received.

Table of Contents

The change in other (income) expense, net, during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a $4.9 million increase in gain on sale of property, plant and equipment.

Provision for income taxes	$	15,421		$	1,267		1,117	%
Effective tax rate	35.7		%	13.1		%	22.6	%

The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a $33.4 million increase in pre-tax income, predominantly tax effected at the U.S. statutory rate, during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

	2013		2012		(Decrease)
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	17,511	$	110,916	(84	)%

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 includes our operations in Venezuela that were expropriated in June 2009, including the costs associated with our arbitration proceeding, and results from our Canadian contract operations and aftermarket services businesses, including impairment charges.

As discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, in June 2009, PDVSA assumed control over substantially all of our assets and operations in Venezuela. In August 2012, our Venezuelan subsidiary sold its previously nationalized assets to PDVSA Gas for a purchase price of approximately $441.7 million. We received a payment of $176.7 million, of which we remitted $50.0 million to repay the amount we collected in January 2010 under the terms of an insurance policy we maintained for the risk of expropriation, during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and a payment of $17.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The remaining principal amount due to us of approximately $199 million is payable in quarterly cash installments through the third quarter of 2016. We have not recognized amounts payable to us by PDVSA Gas as a receivable and will therefore recognize quarterly payments received in the future as income from discontinued operations in the periods such payments are received. The proceeds from the sale of assets are not subject to Venezuelan national taxes due to an exemption allowed under the Venezuelan Reserve Law applicable to expropriation settlements.

In June 2012, we committed to a plan to sell our contract operations and aftermarket services businesses in Canada. In connection with the planned disposition, we recorded impairment charges totaling $27.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. As discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, in July 2013, we completed the sale of our contract operations and aftermarket services businesses in Canada.

Noncontrolling Interest

As of September 30, 2013, noncontrolling interest is comprised of the portion of the Partnership’s earnings that is applicable to the Partnership’s publicly-held limited partner interest. As of September 30, 2013, public unitholders held a 59% ownership interest in the Partnership.

Gross margin	$	261,462		$	230,808		13	%
Gross margin percentage	55		%	51		%	4	%

The increase in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to a 2% increase in average operating horsepower, an increase in rates and a $6.5 million increase in revenue with no incremental cost due to the termination of contracts resulting from the exercise of purchase options by our customer on two natural gas processing plants, partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in revenue from our contract water treatment business and a $3.7 million decrease in revenue due to the termination of three natural gas processing plant contracts during the second quarter of 2013. The increases in gross margin (defined as revenue less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and gross margin percentage during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were primarily caused by the revenue increase explained above and better management of field operating expenses from the implementation of profitability improvement initiatives. 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.

Gross margin percentage	57		%	59		%	(2	)%

The increase in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a $13.3 million increase in revenue in Mexico primarily due to contracts that commenced or were expanded in scope in 2012 and 2013, a $6.5 million increase in revenue in Colombia primarily due to the recognition of revenue with no incremental cost on the termination of a contract resulting from the exercise of a purchase option by our customer during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and contracts that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2012, a $6.1 million increase in revenue in Argentina primarily due to inflation rate adjustments, a $5.9 million increase in revenue in Indonesia primarily due to a retroactive rate increase and contracts that commenced during 2013 and a $4.8 million increase in revenue from a contract in the Eastern Hemisphere that commenced in the second quarter of 2012. These increases were partially offset by a $23.0 million decrease in revenue in Brazil primarily as a result of recognition of revenue with little incremental cost during the prior year period on terminated contracts and a $5.1 million decrease in revenue due to the recognition of revenue with little incremental cost on the termination of a project in Nigeria resulting from the exercise of a purchase option by our customer in 2012. Gross margin percentage during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased due to the recognition of revenue on terminated contracts in Brazil and Nigeria during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 mentioned above, partially offset by the recognition of revenue on a terminated contract in Colombia during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the rate increases in Argentina and Indonesia mentioned above.

The decrease in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in revenue in North America of $3.3 million, partially offset by an increase in revenue in the Eastern Hemisphere of $1.1 million. Gross margin decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to lower current period margins on work performed in the Eastern Hemisphere, partially offset by increases in gross margin in North America and Latin America.

Gross margin percentage	16		%	12		%	4	%

The increase in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to $224.8 million of higher revenue in North America and $176.3 million of higher revenue in the Eastern Hemisphere. The increase in North America revenue was due to an increase in installation revenue of $154.4 million and an increase in production and processing equipment revenue of $126.6 million, partially offset by a $56.2 million decrease in compressor fabrication revenue. The increase in revenue in the Eastern Hemisphere was due to an increase of $108.7 million, $36.7 million and $30.9 million in compressor fabrication revenue, production and processing equipment fabrication revenue and installation revenue, respectively. The increases in gross margin and gross margin percentage were primarily caused by the revenue increase explained above, a reduction in operating expenses from the implementation of profitability improvement initiatives and improved margins associated with projects in North America and the Eastern Hemisphere, including the impact of cost overruns on a project at our Belleli Energy subsidiary recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Our Belleli Energy subsidiary provides engineering, procurement and fabrication services 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. These improvements in results were partially offset by cost overruns on three large turnkey projects during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The decrease in SG&A expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to an $11.5 million decrease in state and local taxes primarily related to the impact of sales tax audits in North America recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, partially offset by a $4.7 million increase in professional,

Table of Contents

consulting and legal expenses and a $3.5 million increase in compensation and benefit costs. SG&A as a percentage of revenue was 11% and 14% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased primarily due to reduced depreciation expense on terminated contract operations projects in Brazil and Nigeria and the impact of impairments recorded in 2012, which decreased depreciation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These decreases were partially offset by increased depreciation expense due to property, plant and equipment additions.

In July 2013, as part of our continued emphasis on simplification and focus on our core business, we sold the entity that owned our fabrication facility in the United Kingdom. As of June 30, 2013, all assets and liabilities of this entity met the criteria for held for sale and were reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value based on the net transaction value set forth in our agreement to sell this entity. As a result, we recorded impairment charges of $11.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to reduce the book value of the business to its estimated fair value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we evaluated other long-lived assets for impairment and recorded long-lived asset impairments of $1.8 million on these assets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we evaluated the future deployment of our idle fleet and determined to retire and either sell or re-utilize the key components of approximately 920 idle compressor units, representing approximately 316,000 horsepower, that we previously used to provide services in our North America contract operations segment. As a result, we performed an impairment review and recorded a $96.5 million asset impairment to reduce the book value of each unit to its estimated fair value. The fair value of each unit was estimated based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units recently sold, as well as our review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use. As of September 30, 2012, the average age of the impaired idle units was 24 years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we evaluated other long-lived assets for impairment and recorded long-lived asset impairments of $4.7 million on these assets.

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 ongoing operating costs and to adjust the size of our workforce to be consistent with then current and expected activity levels. A significant portion of the workforce cost reduction program was completed in 2011, with the remainder completed in 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $5.8 million of restructuring charges primarily related to termination benefits and consulting services. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of these charges.

The decrease in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average effective rate on our debt and a lower average balance of long-term debt. The decrease in the weighted average effective rate on our debt was primarily due to the expiration of certain interest rate swaps in the third quarter of 2012 and a decrease of $7.2 million in the amortization of terminated interest rate swaps. Additionally, during

Table of Contents

the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we expensed $1.6 million of unamortized deferred financing costs resulting from an amendment to the Partnership’s senior secured credit agreement (the “Partnership Credit Agreement”) and our redemption of the 4.75% convertible senior notes (the “4.75% Notes”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 we expensed $1.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs resulting from the decrease in capacity of our revolving credit facility. The terminated interest rate swaps are being amortized into interest expense over the original terms of the swaps.

In March 2012, our Venezuelan joint ventures sold their assets to PDVSA Gas. We received payments of $14.2 million and $47.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The remaining principal amount due to us of approximately $44 million is payable in quarterly cash installments through the first quarter of 2016. Payments we receive from the sale will be recognized as equity in (income) loss of non-consolidated affiliates in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the periods such payments are received.

The change in other (income) expense, net, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a $22.0 million increase in gain on sale of property, plant and equipment and a decrease in foreign currency loss of $4.4 million. Foreign currency loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 included a translation loss of $0.9 million and $5.0 million, respectively, related to remeasurement of our foreign subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar denominated intercompany debt.

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes	$	54,421		$	(34,578	)	257	%
Effective tax rate	40.7		%	24.4		%	16.3	%

The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a $275.5 million increase in pre-tax income which included a $120.7 million decrease in impairments of idle fleet assets, predominantly tax effected at the U.S. statutory rate, and a $32.7 million decrease in nontaxable equity in income of non-consolidated affiliates during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The rate was further increased due to an $11.9 million impairment of the assets of the entity that owned our fabrication facility in the United Kingdom with no associated tax benefit recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 includes our operations in Venezuela that were expropriated in June 2009, including the costs associated with our arbitration proceeding, and results from our Canadian contract operations and aftermarket services businesses, including impairment charges.

As discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, in June 2009, PDVSA assumed control over substantially all of our assets and operations in Venezuela. In August 2012, our Venezuelan subsidiary sold its previously nationalized assets to PDVSA Gas for a purchase price of approximately $441.7 million. We received a payment of $176.7 million, of which we remitted $50.0 million to repay the amount we collected in January 2010 under the terms of an insurance policy we maintained for the risk of expropriation, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and payments of $51.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The remaining principal amount due to us of approximately $199 million is payable in quarterly cash installments through the third quarter of 2016. We have not recognized amounts payable to us by PDVSA Gas as a receivable and will therefore recognize quarterly payments received in the future as income from discontinued operations in the periods such payments are received. The proceeds from the sale of assets are not subject to Venezuelan national taxes due to an exemption allowed under the Venezuelan Reserve Law applicable to expropriation settlements.

In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced a devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. This devaluation resulted in a translation gain of approximately $1.4 million on the remeasurement of our net liability position in Venezuela during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The functional currency of our Venezuelan subsidiary is the U.S. dollar and we had more liabilities than

Table of Contents

assets denominated in bolivars in Venezuela at the time of the devaluation. The exchange rate used to remeasure our net liabilities changed from 4.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar at December 31, 2012 to 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar in February 2013.

In June 2012, we committed to a plan to sell our contract operations and aftermarket services businesses in Canada. In connection with the planned disposition, we recorded impairment charges totaling $6.0 million and $68.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, in July 2013, we completed the sale of our contract operations and aftermarket services businesses in Canada.

Noncontrolling Interest

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our unrestricted cash balance was $37.1 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $34.6 million at December 31, 2012. Working capital increased to $570.1 million at September 30, 2013 from $463.4 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in working capital was primarily due to increases in inventory and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and a decrease in billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue. The increase in inventory was primarily due to an increase in work in progress during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and decrease in billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings were primarily driven by the timing of billings on projects in the Eastern Hemisphere at September 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012.

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):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Discontinued operations	63,280			123,433
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	2,463		$	168

Operating Activities. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to improved gross margins in our fabrication and North America contract operations segments and lower interest payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These activities were partially offset by higher current period increases in working capital.

Investing Activities. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to a $56.1 million increase in proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and a $20.9 million decrease in capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These activities were partially offset by a $32.9 million decrease in cash payments received from the sale of our Venezuelan joint ventures’ assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Financing Activities. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to $114.5 million of net proceeds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from the Partnership’s public offering of its common units and an increase in payments for debt issuance costs of $11.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These activities were partially offset by a $64.4 million decrease in net repayments under our debt facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Discontinued Operations. The decrease in net cash provided by discontinued operations was primarily attributable to a $75.0 million decrease in proceeds received, net of insurance remittance, from the sale of our Venezuelan subsidiary’s assets to PDVSA Gas during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, partially offset by proceeds of

$12.4 million received from the sale of our contract operations and aftermarket services businesses in Canada during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

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 $300 million to $325 million in net capital expenditures during 2013, including (1) contract operations equipment additions and (2) approximately $100 million to $110 million on equipment maintenance capital related to our contract operations business. Net capital expenditures are net of used fleet sales.

Long-term Debt. As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $1.6 billion in outstanding debt obligations, consisting of $156.5 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, $337.7 million outstanding under our 4.25% convertible senior notes, $350.0 million outstanding under our 7.25% senior notes, $225.0 million outstanding under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, $150.0 million outstanding under the Partnership’s term loan facility and $344.8 million outstanding under the Partnership’s 6% senior notes.

In January 2013, we redeemed for cash all $143.8 million principal amount outstanding of our of 4.75% Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon redemption, the 4.75% Notes were no longer deemed outstanding, interest ceased to accrue thereon and all rights of the holders of the 4.75% Notes ceased to exist. We financed the redemption of the 4.75% Notes through borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

In July 2011, we entered into a five-year, $1.1 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). In March 2012, we decreased the borrowing capacity under this facility to $900.0 million. As of September 30, 2013, we had $156.5 million in outstanding borrowings and $113.7 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2013, taking into account guarantees through letters of credit, we had undrawn and available capacity of $629.8 million under the Credit Facility.

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 September 30, 2013, all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility were LIBOR loans and the applicable margin was 1.5%. The weighted average annual interest rate at September 30, 2013 on the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was 1.7%.

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 (as defined in the credit agreement) 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 September 30, 2013, we maintained a 9.6 to 1.0 Adjusted EBITDA to Total Interest Expense ratio, a 1.8 to 1.0 consolidated Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio and a 0.3 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 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 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 September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

In November 2010, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes (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

Table of Contents

7.25% Notes and the guarantees, respectively, are our and the guarantors’ general unsecured senior obligations, 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.

In June 2009, we issued $355.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior notes (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 can be converted exceeds their principal amount by $67.8 million as of September 30, 2013. 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 connection with the offering of the 4.25% Notes, we purchased call options on our stock at approximately $23.15 per share of common stock and sold warrants on our stock at approximately $32.67 per share of common stock. These transactions economically adjust the effective conversion price to $32.67 for $325.0 million of the 4.25% Notes and therefore are expected to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any such conversion.

In November 2010, the Partnership Credit Agreement was amended and restated to provide for a 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 to $550.0 million in March 2011 and to $750.0 million in March 2012. The Partnership amended the Partnership Credit Agreement in March 2013 to reduce the borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility to $650.0 million and extend the maturity date of the term loan and revolving credit facilities to May 2018. As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership had undrawn and available capacity of $425.0 million under its revolving credit facility.

The Partnership’s revolving credit and term loan facilities bear 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 and term loans varies (i) in the case of LIBOR loans, from 2.0% to 3.0% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, from 1.0% to 2.0%. 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 September 30, 2013, all amounts outstanding under these facilities were LIBOR loans and the applicable margin was 2.0%. The weighted average annual interest rate on the outstanding balance of these facilities at September 30, 2013, excluding the effect of interest rate swaps, was 2.2%.

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 the Partnership’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate, sell assets, make certain investments and acquisitions, make loans, grant liens, repurchase equity and pay dividends and distributions. The Partnership Credit Agreement also contains various covenants requiring mandatory prepayments from the net cash proceeds of certain 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

Table of Contents

(as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) of not less than 2.75 to 1.0, a ratio of Total Debt (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) to EBITDA of not greater than 5.25 to 1.0 (subject to a temporary increase to 5.5 to 1.0 for any quarter during which an acquisition meeting certain thresholds is completed and for the following two quarters after the acquisition closes) and a ratio of Senior Secured Debt (as defined in the Partnership Credit Agreement) to EBITDA of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0. Because the March 2013 Contract Operations Acquisition closed during the first quarter of 2013, the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA ratio was temporarily increased to 5.5 to 1.0 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and continued at that level through September 30, 2013, reverting to 5.25 to 1.0 for the quarter ending December 31, 2013 and subsequent quarters. As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership maintained an 8.0 to 1.0 EBITDA to Total Interest Expense ratio, a 3.0 to 1.0 Total Debt to EBITDA ratio and a 1.6 to 1.0 Senior Secured Debt to EBITDA ratio. A violation of the Partnership’s Total Debt to EBITDA covenant would be an event of default under the Partnership Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Partnership Credit Agreement.

In March 2013, the Partnership issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6% senior notes due April 2021 (the “Partnership 6% Notes”). The Partnership used the net proceeds of $336.9 million, after original issuance discount and issuance costs, to repay borrowings outstanding under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility. The Partnership 6% Notes were issued at an original issuance discount of $5.5 million, which is being amortized using the effective interest method at an interest rate of 6.25% over their term. The Partnership 6% Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the U.S. except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Partnership offered and issued the Partnership 6% Notes only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the U.S. pursuant to Regulation S. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Partnership is required to register the Partnership 6% Notes no later than 365 days after March 27, 2013.

The Partnership entered into interest rate swap agreements to offset changes in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in the interest rates associated with its variable rate debt. At September 30, 2013, the Partnership was a party to interest rate swaps pursuant to which it makes fixed payments and receives floating payments on a notional value of $250.0 million. These interest rate swaps expire in May 2018. As of September 30, 2013, the weighted average effective fixed interest rate on the interest rate swaps was 1.7%. See Part I, Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this report for further discussion of the interest rate swap agreements.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through 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 operations 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

Table of Contents

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, 2014; 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 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 is expected to 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 financial condition and results of operations, 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, (i) 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, (ii) 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.

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.

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 (i) restrictions contained in the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, (ii) the Partnership’s general partner’s establishment of reserves to fund future operations or cash distributions to the Partnership’s unitholders, (iii) restrictions contained in the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and (iv) the Partnership’s lack of sufficient cash to pay distributions.

On October 29, 2013, Exterran GP LLC’s board of directors approved a cash distribution by the Partnership of $0.5275 per limited partner unit, or approximately $28.3 million, including distributions to the Partnership’s general partner on its incentive distribution rights. The distribution covers the period from July 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013. The record date for this distribution is November 8, 2013 and payment is expected to occur on November 14, 2013.

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 to evaluate 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 our SG&A activities, the impact of our financing methods and income taxes. Depreciation and amortization expense may not accurately reflect the costs required to maintain and replenish the operational usage of our assets and therefore may not portray the costs from current operating activity. 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 statements 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) excluding income (loss) from discontinued operations (net of tax), cumulative effect of accounting changes (net of tax), income taxes, interest expense (including debt extinguishment costs and gain or loss on

Table of Contents

termination of interest rate swaps), depreciation and amortization expense, impairment charges, merger and integration expenses, restructuring charges, 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):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012

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 under our financing arrangements 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 loss in our condensed consolidated statements of operations of $0.8 million and $5.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 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 including the remeasurement of our foreign subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar denominated intercompany debt. 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 September 30, 2013, after taking into consideration interest rate swaps, we had approximately $281.5 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 at September 30, 2013 would result in an annual increase in our interest expense of approximately $2.8 million.

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 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 September 30, 2013, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer 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.
