Results In-Line with Expectations
Significant Win & Strengthened Focus with Executive Appointment in Water Business
Continued Strong Performance in Aftermarket Services
HOUSTON, Nov. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exterran Corporation EXTN ("Exterran" or the "Company") today reported third quarter financial results.
Andrew Way, Exterran's President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Execution remains the focus as we continue to deliver well on both our Contract Operations and Product Sales backlog. This led to operating cash flow for the quarter coming in at $37 million, as we focus on improving cash flow and returns. Commercially, it was a stronger quarter as product orders improved to $118 million driven by another significant water order along with continued strength internationally, and strong aftermarket services performance. During the quarter, we also bought back 1.8 million shares, leaving $61 million remaining on our share repurchase program.
"I am most excited about the progress we are making in transforming this company to the one we aspire to be. We are shifting from primarily being a fabricator of oil and gas equipment to being a company that leverages technology and operational excellence to provide complete systems and process solutions in energy and industrial applications. We are committed to evolving into a high margin, high return business that offers improved revenue stability irrespective of industry cyclicality. Over the past several years, we have made significant progress in this journey by taking actions to protect the core, develop important organizational capabilities and implement new processes to position Exterran for success. We have focused on optimizing our portfolio of products and services to better serve our global customers while providing a more attractive investment option for our investors.
"As part of this continuing journey, we are announcing the appointment of Roger George to lead our global water solutions business. The pipeline of opportunities for the business coupled with our unique and patented technologies highlight the significant need to increase the focus on this important market. This is a business where we can grow significantly without a market backdrop of investment and where our technology can solve customer issues, whether in a new or an existing application with a lower cost and improved environmental impact as compared to most other options. As an additional step in the journey, we are also reviewing options for our U.S. Compression fabrication business to be a positive contributor to our strategy as opposed to being a driver of margin dilution and increased cyclicality that it is today. This business has performed well over the past year despite difficult market conditions as we worked to maximize margins and returns. We will fully explore our options and we are committed to supporting our customers, employees and other stakeholders throughout the process."
Net loss from continuing operations was $8.3 million, or $0.25 per share, on revenue of $302.4 million for the third quarter of 2019. This compares to net loss from continuing operations of $14.8 million, or $0.42 per share, on revenue of $390.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 and net income from continuing operations of $3.2 million, or $0.09 per share, on revenue of $334.8 million for the third quarter of 2018. Net loss was $9.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to net loss of $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 and net income of $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2018. EBITDA, as adjusted, was $50.1 million for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to $53.2 million for the second quarter of 2019 and $52.1 million for the third quarter of 2018. Loss before taxes was $7.8 million as compared to loss before taxes of $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2019 and income before taxes of $11.2 million for the third quarter of 2018.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $37.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, as compared with $45.6 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $45.1 million in the third quarter of 2018. The reduction was driven primarily by the aggressive cost reduction and improved efficiencies executed throughout the year. The company also recorded additional restructuring charges of $1.8 million as a result of these efforts.
Contract Operations Segment
Contract operations revenue in the third quarter of 2019 was $96.3 million, a 7% increase from second quarter of 2019 revenue of $89.7 million and a 13% increase from third quarter of 2018 revenue of $84.8 million.
Contract operations gross margin in the third quarter of 2019 was $61.9 million, a 4% increase from the second quarter of 2019 gross margin of $59.3 million and an 8% increase from the third quarter of 2018 gross margin of $57.1 million. Gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 2019 was 64%, as compared with 66% in the second quarter of 2019 and 67% in the third quarter of 2018.
Revenue increased sequentially as there was a full quarter benefit from a project in the Middle East along with the commencement of a project in Latin America. Gross margin also increased due to the full quarter benefit from the project in the Middle East.
Aftermarket Services Segment
Aftermarket services revenue in the third quarter of 2019 was $34.9 million, a 16% increase from second quarter of 2019 revenue of $30.1 million and a 16% increase from third quarter of 2018 revenue of $30.0 million.
Aftermarket services gross margin in the third quarter of 2019 was $8.8 million, a 3% decrease from the second quarter of 2019 gross margin of $9.1 million and a 12% increase from the third quarter of 2018 gross margin of $7.9 million. Gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 2019 was 25%, as compared with 30% in the second quarter of 2019 and 26% in the third quarter of 2018.
The sequential increase in revenue was driven by positive contract adjustments in Latin America where we had positive pull through on a contract operations project. Gross margins were more in-line with historical levels driven by normal business mix.
Product Sales Segment
Product sales revenue in the third quarter of 2019 was $171.3 million, a 37% decrease from second quarter of 2019 revenue of $271.1 million, and a 22% decrease from third quarter of 2018 revenue of $220.0 million.
Product sales gross margin in the third quarter of 2019 was $18.3 million, a 40% decrease from second quarter of 2019 gross margin of $30.5 million and a 43% decrease as compared to the third quarter of 2018 gross margin of $31.8 million. Gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 2019 was 11%, as compared with 11% in the second quarter of 2019 and 14% in the third quarter of 2018.
The revenue decline was driven by the lower backlog we had entering the third quarter while gross margin declined due to mix of business.
Product sales backlog was $308.5 million at September 30, 2019, as compared to $361.7 million at June 30, 2019 and $759.1 million at September 30, 2018. Product sales bookings for the third quarter of 2019 were $118.1 million, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 69%. This compares to bookings of $79.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 and bookings of $344.1 million for the third quarter of 2018.

Total gross margin, a non-GAAP measure, 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. Management believes total gross margin is important supplemental information for investors because it focuses on the current 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, restatement related charges (recoveries), restructuring and other charges and income taxes. In addition, the inclusion of 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. | ||||||
| (2) Management believes 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 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, restatement related charges (recoveries), restructuring and other charges, expensed acquisition costs and other items. Management uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as supplemental measures to review current period operating performance, comparability measures and performance measures for period to period comparisons. In addition, the Company's compensation committee has used EBITDA, as adjusted, in evaluating the performance of the Company and management and in evaluating certain components of executive compensation, including performance-based annual incentive programs. | ||||||
| (3) The tax impacts of adjustments were based on the Company's statutory tax rates applicable to each item in the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. Using statutory tax rates for presentation of the non-GAAP measures allows a consistent basis for investors to understand financial performance of the Company across historical periods. The overall effective tax rate on adjustments was impacted by the inability to recognize tax benefits from charges in jurisdictions that are in cumulative-loss positions. | ||||||
| (4) Management believes adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations and diluted adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations per common share provides useful information to investors because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare our core operating results from period to period by removing the impact of impairment charges, restructuring and other charges, restatement related charges (recoveries), expensed acquisition costs and other items not appropriately reflective of our core business. | ||||||
| (5) Diluted adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations per common share, was computed using the two-class method to determine the net income (loss) per share for each class of common stock and participating security (certain of our restricted stock and restricted stock units) according to participation rights in undistributed earnings. Accordingly, we have excluded adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to participating securities of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from our calculation of diluted adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations per common share. | ||||||
