Achieved net income of $0.52 per limited partner unit for the quarter
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Exterran Partners, L.P. (NAS: EXLP) today reported EBITDA, as further adjusted (as defined below), of $71.1 million for the second quarter 2013, compared to $52.4 million for the first quarter 2013 and $45.0 million for the second quarter 2012. Distributable cash flow (as defined below) was $44.7 million for the second quarter 2013, compared to $37.1 million for the first quarter 2013 and $27.3 million for the second quarter 2012.
Revenue was $125.5 million for the second quarter 2013, compared to $106.1 million for the first quarter 2013 and $97.2 million for the second quarter 2012.
Net income was $27.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted limited partner unit, for the second quarter 2013, compared to net income of $14.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted limited partner unit, for the first quarter 2013, and a net loss of $19.1 million, or $0.47 per diluted limited partner unit, for the second quarter 2012.
"Second-quarter 2013 highlights included a record quarterly level of distributable cash flow. Our results benefitted from the compression assets we acquired from Exterran Holdings on March 31, 2013, as well as the implementation of performance improvement initiatives. In addition, a customer's exercise of purchase options on two natural gas processing plants increased our EBITDA, as further adjusted, by $13.3 million and our distributable cash flow by $6.5 million," said Brad Childers, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Exterran Partners' managing general partner.
For the second quarter 2013, Exterran Partners' quarterly cash distribution was $0.5225 per limited partner unit, or $2.09 per limited partner unit on an annualized basis. The second-quarter 2013 distribution was $0.005 higher than the first-quarter 2013 distribution of $0.5175 per limited partner unit and $0.02 higher than the second-quarter 2012 distribution of $0.5025 per limited partner unit.

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

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