Management believes that the information furnished includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary to fairly present 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, 2018.2019. That report contains a comprehensive summary of our accounting policies. The interim results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications have been made for the prior year period to conform to the current year presentation.


We refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements collectively as “financial statements,” and individually as “balance sheets,” “statements of operations,” “statements of comprehensive income (loss),” “statements of stockholders’ equity” and “statements of cash flows” herein.


In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption across most industries. Efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have also resulted in decreased energy demand and additional weakness in energy pricing. While the pandemic did not materially adversely affect the Company’s financial results and business operations in the Company’s first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, the broader implications of COVID-19 on our long-term future results of operations and overall financial condition remain uncertain. Due to the rapid market deterioration in March 2020, we concluded that a trigger existed and that we should evaluate our long-term assets for impairment. Our analysis concluded that no impairment existed as of March 31, 2020.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”). The update requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statements of operations. The update also requires certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. On January 1, 2019, we adopted the standard using the transition method that allows us to initially apply ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Additionally, we elected certain practical expedients permitted by ASC 842 in applying the lease standard upon adoption. Upon implementation of the new lease standard, we did not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application. For contracts entered into before the transition date, we used the lease classification under the accounting standards in effect prior to adoption. We also excluded initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application. As a result of this adoption, as a lessee, we recorded operating lease assets and lease liabilities of $21.2 million and $26.5 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the lease assets and lease liabilities, including prepayments, was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our statements of operations and cash flows. See Note 3 for the required disclosures related to the impact of adopting this standard.

As a result of the adoption of the new lease guidance, the following adjustments were made to the balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 (in thousands):

From a lessor perspective, new customer contracts entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2019 have been assessed in accordance with ASC 842 and ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), as applicable and will be assessed accordingly in future periods. Additionally, for contracts determined to have lease and nonlease components, we have elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate the components and account for those components as a single component, if the applicable conditions are met. Furthermore, for contracts where the nonlease component is determined to be the predominant component, revenue will continue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were no new customer contracts or amendments to existing customer contracts that were assessed to be within ASC 842.

If the primary component of our contract operations contracts is the lease component, the contracts are accounted for as operating leases. For these contracts, revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis. As of March 31, 2020, the total value of our contracts operations backlog accounted for as operating leases was approximately $177 million, of which $27 million is expected to be recognized in the remainder of 2020, $37 million is expected to be recognized in 2021, $39 million is expected to be recognized in 2022, $44 million is expected to be recognized in 2023 and $24 million is expected to be recognized in 2024. Contract operations revenue recognized as operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was approximately $7 million. Our product sales backlog includes contracts where there is a significant financing component. As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $43 million expected to be recognized in future periods as interest income within our product sales segment.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Note 3 - Leases

As discussed in Note 1, on January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 retrospectively through a cumulative-effect adjustment as permitted underThe Company estimates its reserves using information about past events, current conditions and risk characteristics of each customer, and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to assessing risk associated with the specific transitional provisions in ASC 842. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period.

We primarily lease various offices, warehouses, equipment and vehicles. A right-of-use asset represents our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and a lease liability represents our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Our operating lease right-of-usecollectability of accounts receivables, contract assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the present valuelong-term note receivables. The Company’s customer base, have generally similar collectability risk characteristics, although larger customers may have lower risk than smaller independent customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of lease payments over the lease term at the time of lease commencement, adjusted to include the impact of any lease incentives. Leases with initial terms of 12 months or less are not recorded on our balance sheetsMarch 31, 2020 and leases that contain non-lease components are combined with the lease component and accountedchanges for as a single lease component.

Our lease agreements are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a variety of different terms and conditions. They generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Certain lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Additionally, some of our leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one month to 10 years. Options to renew our lease terms are included in determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the three months then ended March 31, 2019, we recorded expense of $2.0 million for our operating leases, of which $0.1 million of expenses related to operating leases with initial terms of 12 months or less. We do not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance leasing arrangement.

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We used the incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date. As of March 31, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate applied for our operating leases were nine years and 8%, respectively.

Note 43 - Discontinued Operations


In the first quarter of 2016, we began executing the exit of our Belleli EPC business that has historically been comprised of engineering, procurement and construction for the manufacture of tanks for tank farms and the manufacture of evaporators and brine heaters for desalination plants in the Middle East (referred to as “Belleli EPC” or the “Belleli EPC business” herein) by ceasing the bookings of new orders. As of the fourth quarter of 2017, we had substantially exited our Belleli EPC business and, in accordance with GAAP, it is reflected as discontinued operations in our financial statements for all periods presented. Although we have reached mechanical completion on all remaining Belleli EPC contracts, we are still subject to risks and uncertainties potentially resulting from warranty obligations, customer or supplier claims against us, settlement of claims against customers, completion of demobilization activities and litigation developments. The facility previously utilized to manufacture products for our Belleli EPC business has been repurposed to manufacture product sales equipment. As such, certain personnel, buildings, equipment and other assets that were previously related to our Belleli EPC business remain a part of our continuing operations. As a result, activities associated with our ongoing operations at our repurposed facility are included in continuing operations.

Revolving Credit Facility Due October 2023


We and our wholly owned subsidiary, Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P. (“EESLP”), are parties to an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of a $700.0 million revolving credit facility expiring in October 2023.


As of March 31, 2019,2020, we had $65.0$85.5 million in outstanding borrowings and $55.4$20.9 million in outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2019,2020, taking into account guarantees through letters of credit, we had undrawn capacity of $579.6$593.6 million under our revolving credit facility. Our Credit Agreement limits our senior secured leverageTotal Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) on the last day of the fiscal quarter to no greater than 2.754.50 to 1.0. As a result of this limitation, $547.6$415.2 million of the $579.6$593.6 million of undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility was available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2019.2020.


8.125% Senior Notes Due May 2025


In April 2017, our 100% owned subsidiaries EESLP and EES Finance Corp. issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2017 Notes”). TheWe guarantee the 2017 Notes are guaranteed by us on a senior unsecured basis. We may redeem the 2017 Notes at any time in cash, in whole or part, at certain redemption prices, including the applicable make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.


Note 87 - 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 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.

 $
 N/A N/A N/A

We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, including foreign currency exchange rate changes recorded on intercompany obligations. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency hedges to reduce our foreign exchange risk. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we entered into forward currency exchange contracts with a total notional value of $26.0 million that expire at varying dates through June 2019 to mitigate exposures in U.S. dollars related to the Argentine Peso, Brazilian Real and Indonesian Rupiah. We entered into these foreign currency derivatives to manage existing exposures to foreign exchange risk related to assets and liabilities recorded on our balance sheets and intercompany activity. We did not designate these forward currency exchange contracts as hedge transactions. Changes in fair value and gains and losses on settlement on these forward currency exchange contracts are recognized in other (income) expense, net, in our statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized losses of $0.7 million on forward currency exchange contracts, which offset foreign currency gains recognized during the period. Our estimate of the fair value of foreign currency derivatives as of March 31, 2019 was determined using quoted forward exchange rates in active markets at March 31, 2019. Foreign currency derivative liabilities are included in accrued liabilities in our balance sheets.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements


The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands):

Our estimate of the fair value of the impaired North America production equipment assets (“PEQ assets”), which were classified as assets held for sale as of March 31, 2018 and sold in June 2018, was based on the expected net proceeds from the sale of the assets.

(1)Our estimate of the fair value of a note receivable was discounted based on a settlement period of eight years and a discount rate of 6.2%. The undiscounted value of the note receivable, including interest, as of March 31, 2020 was $15.5 million.

Financial Instruments
 
Our financial instruments consistconsists of cash, restricted cash, receivables, payables and debt. At March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the estimated fair values of cash, restricted cash, receivables and payables approximated their carrying amounts as reflected in our balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The fair value of the 2017 Notes was estimated based on model derived calculations using market yields observed in active markets, which are Level 2 inputs. As of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the carrying amount of the 2017 Notes, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs, of $375.0 million was estimated to have a fair value of $383.0$251.1 million and $362.0$371.0 million, respectively. Due to the variable rate nature of our revolving credit facility, the carrying value as of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 approximated the fair value as the rate was comparable to the then-current market rate at which debt with similar terms could have been obtained.


Note 9 - Long-Lived Asset Impairment

We review long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangibles that are being amortized, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, including the removal of compressor units from our active fleet, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.


Table of Contents

In the fourth quarter of 2017, we classified our PEQ assets primarily related to inventory and property, plant and equipment, net, within our product sales business as assets held for sale in our balance sheets. In June 2018, we completed the sale of our PEQ assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded an impairment of $1.8 million to reduce these assets to their approximate fair values based on the expected net proceeds.

Note 108 - Restructuring and Other Charges


The energy industry’s focus on cash flow, capital discipline and improving returns has caused delays in the timing of new equipment orders. As a result, in the second quarter of 2019, we began the consolidation of two of our manufacturing facilities located in Houston, Texas into one facility and announced a cost reduction plan primarily focused on workforce reductions. We incurred restructuring and other charges associated with these activities of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. These charges are reflected as restructuring and other charges in our statements of operations and accrued liabilities on our balance sheets. The cost reduction plan is expected to be completed in the second half of 2020 and we expect to settle these charges within the next twelve months in cash. At this time, we cannot currently estimate the total restructuring costs that will be incurred as a result of this cost reduction plan.

In the second quarter of 2018, we initiated a relocation plan in the North AmericaLatin American region to better align our contract operations business with our customers. As a result of this plan, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred restructuring and other charges of $0.4 million related to relocationsrelocation costs. As of March 31, 2019, the accrued liability balance related to this plan was $0.3 million. The charges incurred in conjunction with this relocation plan are included in restructuring and other charges in our statements of operations. We do not expect to incur additional charges with respect to relocation costsIn the second quarter of 2019, we completed restructuring activities related to thisthe relocation plan.

Note 119 - Provision for Income Taxes


Our effective tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of income we earn, or losses we incur, in those jurisdictions. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year. Our effective tax rate is also impactedaffected by valuation allowances recorded against loss carryforwards in the U.S. and certain other jurisdictions, foreign withholding taxes and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.


The following items had the most significant impact on the difference between our statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and our effective tax rate of (105.8)% for the quarterthree months ended March 31, 2019:2020: (i) a $3.0 million(53.4)% negative impact resulting primarily from rate differences between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions including foreign withholding taxes, (ii) a (19.9)% negative impact resulting from foreign currency devaluations in Argentina, and (iii) a (37.8)% negative impact resulting from the recording of valuation allowances recorded against U.S. federal net operating losses and (ii) a $3.4 million negative impact resulting from foreign currency devaluations in Argentina. deferred tax assets.

Our effective tax rate decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased over2020 compared to the comparative period ofthree months ended March 31, 20182019 primarily due to recording additionala decrease in income before income taxes, an increase in valuation allowanceallowances recorded in the U.S., a decrease in foreign withholding tax and additionala decrease in tax related to foreign exchange movement in Argentina in 2019, and a valuation allowance release in Indonesia in the comparative period, partially offset by a decrease in foreign withholding tax.2019.

Note 1210 - Stockholders’ Equity


Share Repurchase Program


On February 20, 2019, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock through February 2022. The timing and method of any repurchases under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including prevailing market conditions among others. Purchases under the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and we have no obligation to repurchase any amount of our common shares under the program. Shares of common stock acquired through the repurchase program are held in treasury at cost. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased 268,500 shares of our common stock for $4.7 million in connection with our share repurchase program. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares under this program. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the remaining authorized repurchase amount under the share repurchase program was $95.3$57.7 million. Additionally, treasury stock purchased during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 20182019 included shares withheld to satisfy employees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with vesting of restricted stock awards.

Note 1412 - Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share


Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income (loss) per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, basic net income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing net income (loss) after deducting amounts allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Participating securities include unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units that have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid. During periods of net loss from continuing operations, no effect is given to participating securities because they do not have a contractual obligation to participate in our losses.

Table of Contents

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental common stock equivalents attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock and non-participating restricted stock units, unless their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 1513 - Commitments and Contingencies


Contingencies


In addition to U.S. federal, state and 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. As of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we had accrued $5.2$3.5 million and $5.1$3.7 million, respectively, for the outcomes of non-income-based tax audits. We do not expect that the ultimate resolutions of these audits will result in a material variance from the amounts accrued. We do not accrue for unasserted claims for tax audits unless we believe the assertion of a claim is probable, it is probable that it will be determined that the claim is owed and we can reasonably estimate the claim or range of the claim. We do not have any unasserted claims from non-income based tax audits that we have determined are probable of assertion. We also believe the likelihood is remote that the impact of potential unasserted claims from non-income-based tax audits could be material to our financial position, but it is possible that the resolution of future audits could 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, commercial automobile liability and other coverage we believe is appropriate. 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.
Litigation and Claims


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 financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation and arbitration proceedings, 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 financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Contemporaneously with filing the Form 8-K on April 26, 2016, we self-reported the errors and possible irregularities at Belleli EPC to the SEC. On April 8, 2019, the SEC provided written notice to us stating that based on the information they havehad as of thisthat date, they have concluded their investigation and dodid not intend to recommend enforcement action by the SEC against us in connection with thisthat matter.


Indemnifications


On November 3, 2015, Archrock, Inc. (named Exterran Holdings, Inc. prior to November 3, 2015) (“Archrock”) completed the spin-off (the ‘‘Spin-off”) of its international contract operations, international aftermarket services and global fabrication businesses into an independent, publicly traded company named Exterran Corporation.

18


Table of Contents
In conjunction with, and effective as of the completion of, the Spin-off, we entered into the separation and distribution agreement with Archrock, which governs, among other things, the treatment between Archrock and us relating to certain aspects of indemnification, insurance, confidentiality and cooperation. Generally, the separation and distribution agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Archrock’s business with Archrock. Pursuant to the agreement, we and Archrock will generally release the other party from all claims arising prior to the Spin-off that relate to the other party’s business, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, in conjunction with, and effective as of the completion of, the Spin-off, we entered into the tax matters agreement with Archrock. Under the tax matters agreement and subject to certain exceptions, we are generally liable for, and indemnify Archrock against, taxes attributable to our business, and Archrock is generally liable for, and indemnify us against, all taxes attributable to its business. We are generally liable for, and indemnify Archrock against, 50% of certain taxes that are not clearly attributable to our business or Archrock’s business. Any payment made by us to Archrock, or by Archrock to us, is treated by all parties for tax purposes as a nontaxable distribution or capital contribution, respectively, made immediately prior to the Spin-off.




Note 1614 - Reportable Segments

Note 17 - Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

In April 2017, our 100% owned subsidiaries EESLP and EES Finance Corp. (together, the “Issuers”) issued the 2017 Notes, which consists of $375.0 million aggregate principal amount senior unsecured notes. The 2017 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by Exterran Corporation (the “Parent Guarantor” or “Parent”). All other consolidated subsidiaries of Exterran are collectively referred to as the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.” As a result of the Parent’s guarantee, we are presenting the following condensed consolidating financial information pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered. These schedules are presented using the equity method of accounting for all periods presented. For purposes of the following condensed consolidating financial information, the Parent Guarantor’s investments in its subsidiaries, the Issuers’ investments in the Non-Guarantors Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries’ investments in the Issuers are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for our share in the subsidiaries’ cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distributions and other changes in equity. Elimination entries relate primarily to the elimination of investments in subsidiaries and associated intercompany balances and transactions.

General


Exterran Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Exterran Corporation,” “the Company,” “our,” “we” or “us”), a Delaware corporation formed in March 2015, is a global systems and process company offering solutions in the oil, gas, water and power markets. We are a leader in natural gas processing and treatment and compression products and services, providing critical midstream infrastructure solutions to customers throughout the world. Our manufacturing facilities are located in the United States of America (“U.S.”), Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.


We provide our products and services to a global customer base consisting 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 oil and natural gas producers and oil and natural gas processors, gatherers and pipeline operators. We operate in three primary business lines: contract operations, aftermarket services and product sales. The nature and inherent interactions between and among our business lines provide us with opportunities to cross-sell orand offer integrated product and service solutions to our customers.


In our contract operations business line, we provide compression, processing, treating, compression and water treatment services through the operation of our natural gas compression equipment, crude oil and natural gas production and process equipment and water treatment equipment for our customers. In our aftermarket services business line, we sell parts and components and provide operations, maintenance, repair, overhaul, upgrade, startup and commissioning and reconfiguration services to customers who own their own oil and natural gas compression, production, processing, treating and related equipment. In our product sales business line, we design, engineer, manufacture, install, sell and sell natural gas compression packages as well asfinance equipment used in the treating and processing of crude oil, natural gas and water as well as natural gas compression packages to our customers throughout the world and for use in our contract operations business line. We also 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.


Our chief operating decision maker manages business operations, evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the Company’s three primary business lines, which are also referred to as our segments. In order to more efficiently and effectively identify and serve our customer needs, we classify our worldwide operations into four geographic regions. The North America region is primarily comprised of our operations in Mexico and the U.S. The Latin America region is primarily comprised of our operations in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and Brazil.Mexico. The Middle East and Africa region is primarily comprised of our operations in Bahrain, Iraq, Oman, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates. The Asia Pacific region is primarily comprised of our operations in China, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.


We refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements collectively as “financial statements,” and individually as “balance sheets,” “statements of operations,” “statements of comprehensive income (loss),” “statements of stockholders’ equity” and “statements of cash flows” herein.

Financial Results of Operations

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, and to a lesser extent our product sales business, is typically less impacted by short-term commodity prices than certain other energy products and service providers, changes in oil and natural gas exploration and production spending normally result in changes in demand for our products and services.


From a long-term perspective, industry observers anticipate strong global demand for hydrocarbons, including demand for liquefied natural gas. However, customer cash flowsthe recent global demand challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and focus on returns on capital could drive customer investment priorities. Industry observers believe shareholdersaggressive actions taken to contain it have caused severe downside volatility in the price for oil and a significant reduction in demand, as well as an oversupply, globally. In response, many energy companies are encouraging management teams of energy producers to focus operational and compensation strategies on returns and cash flow generation rather than solely on production growth. To accomplish these strategies, energy producers may need to better prioritizedrastically reducing their capital spending which could impact resource allocationin 2020 in order to maintain liquidity and ultimatelyreturns. This will constrain the amount of new projects that customers sanction in the coming year and capital spending by our customers.may result in the shutting in of existing oil and natural gas wells.


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 produced water treatment solutions along with our customers’ decisions to use our products and services, use our competitors’ products and services or own and operate the equipment themselves.

We have continued to work toward our strategy to be a company that leverages technology and operational excellence to provide complete systems and process solutions in energy and industrial applications. Over the past several years, we have made significant progress in this journey by taking actions to protect our core business, develop important organizational capabilities, commercialize new products and services and implement new processes to position Exterran for success. We are 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 we continue on this path, we have decided that the U.S. compression fabrication business is non-core to our strategy going forward. 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.
 
Historically, oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices and the level of drilling and exploration activity in North America have been volatile. The Henry Hub spot price for natural gas was $2.73$1.71 per MMBtu at March 31, 2019,2020, which was 16%18% and 3%37% lower than the prices at December 31, 20182019 and March 31, 2018,2019, respectively, and the U.S. natural gas liquid composite price was $6.46$4.84 per MMBtu for the month of January 2019,2020, which was 1% higher9% and 26% lower than the priceprices for the month of December 20182019 and 10% lower than the price for the month of March 2018.2019, respectively. In addition, the West Texas Intermediate crude oil spot price as of March 31, 20192020 was 33% higher66% lower than the price at December 31, 20182019 and 7% lower than the price at March 31, 2018.2019. Volatility in demand for energy and in commodity prices andas well as an industry trend towards disciplined capital spending and improving returns have caused timing uncertainties in demand for our products recently. These uncertainties are resultinghave caused delays in tentative customer spendingthe timing of new equipment orders and investmentslower bookings in equipment in North America.our product sales segment. Booking activity levels for our manufactured productsproduct sales segment in North America during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 were $52.8$12.9 million, which represents decreasesa decrease of 66% and 72%76% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively.2019.
 
Longer-term fundamentals in our international markets partially depend on international oil and gas infrastructure projects, many of which are based on the longer-term plans of our customers that can be driven by their local market demand and local pricing for natural gas. As a result, we believe our international customers make decisions based on longer-term fundamentals that may be less tied to near term commodity prices than our North American customers. Over the long term,long-term, we believe the demand for our products and services in international markets will continue, and we expect to have opportunities to grow our international businesses. Booking activity levels for our manufactured productsproduct sales segment in international markets during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 were $33.4$445.1 million, which represents increasesan increase of 971% and 1,323%1,233% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively.2019.
23

Aggregate booking activity levels for our manufactured productsproduct sales segment in North America and international markets during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 were $86.2$458.0 million, which represents decreasesan increase of 46% and 55%432% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Fluctuations in the size and timing of customers’ requests for bid proposals and awards of new contracts tend to create variability in booking activity levels from period to period.


The timing of anycustomer order and change in activity levels by our customers is difficult to predict. As a result, our ability to project the anticipated activity level for our business, and particularly our product sales segment, is limited. Given the volatility of the global energy markets and industry capital spending activity levels, we plan to monitor and continue to control our expense levels as necessary to protect our profitability. Additionally, volatility in commodity prices could continue to delay investments by our customers in significant projects, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 

Our level of capital spending largely depends on the demand for our contract operations services and the equipment required to provide such services to our customers. Based on demandour current backlog of contracts, we see for contract operations, we anticipate investing approximately the same level ofcurrently expect to invest less capital in our contract operations business in 2019 as2020 than we did in 2018.2019.


A decline in demand for oil and natural gas or prices for those commodities, or instability and rationalization of capital funding in the global energy markets could continue to cause a reduction in demand for our products and services. We review long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangibles that are being amortized, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, including the removal of compressor units from our active fleet, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.


Impact of COVID-19 on our Business

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption across most industries. Efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have also resulted in decreased energy demand and additional weakness in energy pricing.

The Company took proactive steps earlier in the first quarter to enable and verify the ability to ensure the safety of our employees while still carrying on the majority of business functions. These steps included:
Establishing a daily global operating process to identify, monitor and discuss impacts to our business whether originating from governmental actions or as a direct result of employee illness;
Investing in additional IT capabilities to enable employees to work remotely;
Closing operations where and until assessments were completed to ensure we could operate in a safe manner;
Reestablishing operations once safety mechanisms were in place. This included the acquisition of additional personal protective equipment and establishing screening and other workplace processes.

To date our actions in response to the pandemic and the primary impacts on our business are summarized below:
As most of our operations are considered essential by local government authorities, the Company’s service operations that are provided under long-term contracts have to a large extent continued to operate under normal conditions;
We are following local governmental guidance for viral spread mitigation, including having many of our employees who would traditionally work in an office work from home;
We have put in place additional health and safety measures to protect our employees, customers and other parties who are working at our operating sites;
Although early in the year we recorded significant new product sales bookings, more recently we have seen a decrease in purchasing activity from our customers which we believe is due to both the work at home mitigation measures our customers are also taking and weakness in commodity prices, causing us to lower our expectations for additional new bookings in 2020;
Given travel restrictions and other mitigation efforts, certain of our employees have not been able to travel to work assignments, therefore although we have taken additional steps to be able to continue to provide services required by our customers, some services will be delayed until mitigation measures are eased;
While our operations have been impacted by lower product sale bookings in 2019 and we started cost reduction efforts even prior to the current pandemic, we have continued our efforts to optimize our cost structure to align with the expected demand in our business including making work force reductions and/or managing work hours at some of our manufacturing facilities;
We are responding to customers request to save costs by collaborating with them on how we can manage costs and/or optimize the projects performance to potentially improve our and their results;
24

We evaluated our accounts receivable and given the current energy environment and expected impact to the financials of our customers, we increased our reserve for uncollectible accounts by $2.8 million;
Given COVID-19’s impact on demand for energy and decreased commodity prices which impact our customer’s capital spending, we tested our long-term assets for impairment and concluded that no impairment was indicated;
As many of our suppliers have increased delivery times including as a result of disruptions in shipping, we are working with customers on revising expected due-dates for delivery.

While the pandemic did not materially adversely affect the Company’s financial results and business operations in the Company’s first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, we are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its long-term financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties. The long-term impact of the pandemic on our customers and the global economy will depend on various factors, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic. A prolonged economic downturn or recession resulting from the pandemic could adversely affect many of our customers which could, in turn, adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company will continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and intends to make adjustments to its responses accordingly.

The decreaseincrease in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 20182019 was primarily due to decreasesincreases in revenue of $8.2$6.1 million and $3.9 million in the Latin America region and Asia Pacific region, respectively, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $1.5$2.5 million in the Middle East and Africa region. The revenue decrease inregion and the Latin America region, was primarily driven by a decrease of $5.3 million in Argentina largely resulting from the current year impact of the devaluation of the Argentine Peso during the second half of 2018 and a $2.6 million decrease in Brazil primarily driven by projects that terminated in 2018 and 2019 and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. The revenue decrease in the Asia Pacific region was primarily driven by a $2.8 million recovery of an early termination fee in the first quarter of 2018 for a contract that terminated in January 2016.respectively. The revenue increase in the Middle East and Africa region was primarily due to the start-up of a project that was not operating in the prior year period. The revenue increase in the Latin America region was primarily driven by an increase of $6.7 million in Brazil for the sale of equipment pursuant to a customer purchase of contracted equipment during the current year period, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and, a $4.4 million increase in Bolivia primarily driven by the start-up of a project during the second half of 2019. These revenue increases in the Latin America region were partially offset by a decrease of $8.4 million in Mexico from the sale of equipment pursuant to a customer exercised purchase option during the fourth quarter of 2019 and the impact of renegotiations on a contract extension that resulted in lower revenue in the current year period.

Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased2019 decreased primarily due to an increasea decrease in depreciation expense of $5.2approximately $9.4 million in the current year period resulting from an amendment tothe sale of equipment on a contract operations contract in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Long-lived asset impairment
InLatin America region in the fourth quarter of 2017,2019 and a decrease of $2.0 million in compressor equipment for equipment that was impaired in the fourth quarter of 2019. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $5.2 million in depreciation for installation costs on contract operations projects that were not operating in the prior year period. Capitalized installation costs included, among other things, civil engineering, piping, electrical instrumentation and project management costs.

Restructuring and other charges
The energy industry’s focus on capital discipline and improving returns has caused delays in the timing of new equipment orders. As a result, in the second quarter of 2019, we classified certain PEQ assets primarily related to inventory and property, plant and equipment, net, within our product sales business as assets held for sale in our balance sheets. In June 2018, we completedbegan the saleconsolidation of two of our PEQ assets. Duringmanufacturing facilities located in Houston, Texas into one facility and announced a cost reduction plan primarily focused on workforce reductions. We incurred restructuring and other charges associated with these activities of $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded an impairment of $1.8 million to reduce these assets to their approximate fair values based on the expected net proceeds.

Restatement related charges
During the first quarter of 2016, our senior management identified errors relating to the application of percentage-of-completion accounting principles to specific Belleli EPC product sales projects. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we incurred $0.6 million of external costs associated with an SEC investigation and remediation activities related to the restatement of our financial statements.

Restructuring and other charges
In the second quarter of 2018, we initiated a relocation plan in the NorthLatin America region to better align our contract operations business with our customers. As a result of this plan, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred restructuring and other charges of $0.4 million primarily related to relocation costs.


Interest expense
The increase in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 20182019 was primarily due to a higher average balance of long-term debt partially offset byand a decrease in the effective interest rate on our debt.capitalized interest. During the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the average daily outstanding borrowings of long-term debt were $484.2$488.1 million and $392.3$484.2 million, respectively.


Other (income) expense, net
The change in other (income) expense, net, was primarily due to foreign currency losses of $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to foreign currency gains, net of losses on foreign currency derivatives, of $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to foreign2019. Foreign currency losses and gains included translation gains of $1.9$1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Foreign currency gains and losses included translation gains, net of losses on foreign currency derivatives of $0.2 million and translation losses of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, related to the currency remeasurement of our foreign subsidiaries’ non-functional currency denominated intercompany obligations. The change in other (income) expense, net, also included an increase of $0.8 million in gains on sale of property, plant and equipment.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes our Venezuelan subsidiary’s operations that were expropriated in June 2009 and our Belleli EPC business.
 
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, decreased primarily due to decreased activities resulting from our exit of Belleli EPC during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019 decreased primarily due to a $0.4 million decrease in income from Belleli EPC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our unrestricted cash balance was $18.6$18.1 million at March 31, 2019,2020 compared to $19.3$16.7 million at December 31, 2018.2019. Working capital increased to $111.5$121.0 million at March 31, 20192020 from $108.7$109.3 million at December 31, 2018.2019. The increase in working capital was primarily due to an increasedecreases in accounts receivables, an increase in inventorypayable and a decrease in contractaccrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase in contract liabilities and decreases in accounts payablereceivables and a decrease in contract assets. The increase in accounts receivable was mostly related to the timing of payments received from contract operations customers in the Latin America region during the current year period. The increase in inventory and decrease in contract assets were primarily driven by higher product sales activity in North America. The decrease in contract liabilities was primary due to the timing of payments received on a significant product sales contract in the Middle East and Africa region. The increase in accounts payable was largely caused by the timing of purchases and payments made to suppliers during the current year period. The increase in contract liabilities were primarily driven by the progression of product sales activity in the Middle East and Africa region. The decrease in accrued liabilities was due to a decrease in accrued compensation benefits. The decrease in accounts receivables was primarily due to lower product sales activity in North America and the decrease in contract assets was primarily driven by the timing of billings on contract operations services in Latin America.

Operating Activities.  The increasedecrease in net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 20182019 was primarily attributable to better collections of in-period billings during the current year period and an increasea decrease in cash received from upfront billings on contract operations jobs.projects. Working capital changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020 included a decrease of $50.8 million in accounts payable and other liabilities and an increase of $27.2 million in contract liabilities. Working capital changes during the three months ended March 31, 2019 included an increase of $24.1 million in contract liabilities, an increase of $19.4 million in inventory and an increasea decrease of $16.7 million in accounts receivable. Working capital changes during the three months ended March 31, 2018 included an increase of $34.3 million in inventory, an increase of $31.4$17.2 million in contract assets and a decrease of $20.8 million in accounts receivable.assets.
Investing Activities.  The increasedecrease in net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 20182019 was primarily attributable to a $27.1$59.3 million increasedecrease in capital expenditures.

Capital Requirements.  Our contract operations business is capital intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain and upgrade existing operations. Our capital spending is primarily dependent on the demand for our contract operations services and the availability of the type of equipment required for us to render those contract operations services to our customers. Our capital requirements have consisted primarily of, and we anticipate will continue to consist of, the following:
growth capital expenditures, which are made to expand or to replace partially or fully depreciated assets or to expand the operating capacity or revenue generating capabilities of existing or new assets, whether through construction, acquisition or modification; and
maintenance capital expenditures, which are made to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and related cash flows further extending the useful lives of the assets.


29


Table of Contents
The majority of our growth capital expenditures are related to installation costs on contract operations services projects and acquisition costs of new compressor units and processing and treating equipment that we add to our contract operations fleet. In addition, growth capital expenditures can include the upgrading of major components on an existing compressor unit where the current configuration of the compressor unit is no longer in demand and the compressor unit is not likely to return to an operating status without the capital expenditures. These latter expenditures substantially modify the operating parameters of the compressor unit such that it can be used in applications for which it previously was not suited. Maintenance capital expenditures are related to major overhauls of significant components of a compressor unit, such as the engine, compressor and cooler, that return the components to a “like new” condition, but do not modify the applications for which the compressor unit was designed.


We generally invest funds necessary to manufacture contract operations 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 exceeds our targeted return on capital. We currently plan to spend approximately $205$85 million to $215$95 million in capital expenditures during 2019,2020, including (1) approximately $170$65 million to $75 million on contract operations growth capital expenditures and (2) approximately $35 million to $45$20 million on equipment maintenance capital related to our contract operations business and other capital expenditures.
Long-Term Debt. We and our wholly owned subsidiary, Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P. (“EESLP”), are parties to an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of a $700.0 million revolving credit facility expiring in October 2023.


During the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the average daily outstanding borrowings of long-term debt were $484.2$488.1 million and $392.3$484.2 million, respectively. The weighted average annual interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility at March 31, 2020 and 2019 was 3.0% and 2018 was 4.3% and 3.7%, respectively. LIBOR and certain other “benchmarks” are the subject of recent national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. In particular, on July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, publicly announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. It is unclear whether, at that time, LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established. Central banks and regulators in a number of major jurisdictions (for example, U.S., United Kingdom, European Union, Switzerland, and Japan) have convened working groups to find and implement the transition to suitable replacement benchmarks. We are in the beginning stages of creating a program that focuses on identifying, evaluating, and monitoring financial and non-financial risks that may result if LIBOR rates are no longer published after 2021.


As of March 31, 2019,2020, we had $65.0$85.5 million in outstanding borrowings and $55.4$20.9 million in outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2019,2020, taking into account guarantees through letters of credit, we had undrawn capacity of $579.6$593.6 million under our revolving credit facility. Our Amended Credit Agreement limits our senior secured leverageTotal Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) on the last day of the fiscal quarter to no greater than 2.754.50 to 1.0. As a result of this limitation, $547.6$415.2 million of the $579.6$593.6 million of undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility was available for additional borrowings as of March 31, 2019.2020.


The Credit Agreement contains various covenants with which we, EESLP and our respective restricted subsidiaries must comply, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, investments, liens on assets, repurchasing equity, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements. We are required to maintain, on a consolidated basis, a minimum interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 2.25 to 1.00; a maximum total leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 4.50 to 1.00; and a maximum senior secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 2.75 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2019,2020, we maintained a 9.05.5 to 1.0 interest coverage ratio, a 1.92.4 to 1.0 total leverage ratio and a 0.30.4 to 1.0 senior secured leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2019,2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.


In April 2017, our 100% owned subsidiaries EESLP and EES Finance Corp. issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2017 Notes”). TheWe guarantee the 2017 Notes are guaranteed by us on a senior unsecured basis. We may redeem the 2017 Notes at any time in cash, in whole or part, at certain redemption prices, including the applicable make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.


Table of Contents


We may from time to time seek to retire, extend or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such extensions, 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 the 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 the Credit Agreement, our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility could be reduced. Inability to borrow additional amounts under our revolving credit facility 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 revolving credit facility will be sufficient to finance our operating expenditures, capital expenditures and other contractual cash obligations, including our debt obligations. However, if net cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility are not sufficient, we may seek additional debt or equity financing.


Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

In April 2017, our 100% owned subsidiaries EESLP and EES Finance Corp. (together, the “Issuers”) issued the 2017 Notes, which consists of $375.0 million aggregate principal amount senior unsecured notes. The 2017 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by Exterran Corporation (“Parent”). The 2017 Notes and Parent’s guarantee are:
Senior unsecured obligations of each of the Issuers and the Parent, as applicable;
Equal in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior unsecured guarantees of each of the Issuers and the Parent, as applicable;
Senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness and subordinated guarantees of each of the Issuers and the Parent, as applicable;
Effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness and secured guarantees of each of the Issuers and the Parent, as applicable, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness or guarantees; and
Structurally junior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness, guarantees and other liabilities (including trade payables) and any preferred equity of each of the Parent’s subsidiaries (other than the Issuers) that are not guarantors of the 2017 Notes.

Parent’s guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) the merger of the Parent into the Issuers, (ii) a legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture governing the 2017 Notes or (iii) the liquidation or dissolution of the Parent, provided in each case no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture governing the 2017 Notes.

Federal bankruptcy and state fraudulent transfer laws permit a court to void all or a portion of the obligations of the Parent pursuant to its guarantee, or to subordinate the Parent’s obligations under its guarantee to claims of the Parent’s other creditors, reducing or eliminating the ability to recover under the guarantee. Although laws differ among jurisdictions, in general, under applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws, the guarantee could be voided as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance if (i) the guarantee was incurred with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors or (ii) the Parent received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for incurring the guarantee and either (x) the Parent was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the incurrence of the guarantee or subsequently became insolvent for other reasons, (y) the incurrence of the guarantee left the Parent with an unreasonably small amount of capital to carry on the business, or (z) the Parent intended to, or believed that it would, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. A court would likely find that Parent did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee if it determined that the Parent did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the 2017 Notes. If a court were to void a guarantee, noteholders would no longer have a claim against the Parent. In addition, the court might direct noteholders to repay any amounts that you already received from the Parent. Parent’s guarantee contains a provision intended to limit the Parent’s liability under the guarantee to the maximum amount that the Parent could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be deemed a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect the guarantee from being voided under fraudulent transfer law.

All consolidated subsidiaries of Exterran other than the Issuers are collectively referred to as the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.” The 2017 Notes are structurally subordinated to any indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of any of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the 2017 Notes, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans, distributions or other payments. Holders of the 2017 Notes will have no claim as a creditor against any Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, such subsidiaries will pay current outstanding obligations to the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to the Parent or the Issuers. As a result, in the context of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, holders of the 2017 Notes would likely receive less, ratably, than holders of indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables of such entities).

The Parent and EESLP are also parties to our credit agreement, which covenants with which the Parent, EESLP and our respective restricted subsidiaries must comply, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, investments, liens on assets, repurchasing equity, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements. These covenants may impact the ability of the Parent and EESLP to repay the 2017 Notes or amounts owing under Parent’s guarantee.

Summarized Financial Information (in thousands)

As a result of the Parent’s guarantee, we are presenting the following summarized financial information for the Issuers’ and Parent (collectively referred to as “the Obligated Group”) pursuant to Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered. For purposes of the following summarized financial information, transactions between the Parent and the Issuers, presented on a combined basis, have been eliminated and information for the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been excluded. Amounts due from or due to the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and other related parties, as applicable, have been separately presented within the summarized financial information.

Unrestricted Cash. Of our $18.6$18.1 million unrestricted cash balance at March 31, 2019, $17.72020, $16.9 million was held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. In the event of a distribution of earnings to the U.S. in the form of dividends, we may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. We do not believe that the cash held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries has an adverse impact on our liquidity because we expect that the cash we generate in the U.S., the available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and the repayment of intercompany liabilities from our non-U.S. subsidiaries will be sufficient to fund the cash needs of our U.S. operations for the foreseeable future.


Share Repurchase Program. On February 20, 2019, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock through February 2022. The timing and method of any repurchases under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including prevailing market conditions among others. Purchases under the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and we have no obligation to repurchase any amount of our common shares under the program. Shares of common stock acquired through the repurchase program are held in treasury at cost. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased 268,500 shares of our common stock for $4.7 million in connection with our share repurchase program. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares under this program. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the remaining authorized repurchase amount under the share repurchase program was $95.3$57.7 million.

Dividends.  We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support the growth and development of our business. The declaration of any future cash dividends and, if declared, the amount of any such dividends, will be subject to our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, financial covenants, applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
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), depreciation and amortization expense, impairment charges, restructuring and other charges, non-cash gains or losses from foreign currency exchange rate changes recorded on intercompany obligations, expensed acquisition costs and other items. 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, restructuring and other charges, expensed acquisition costs and other items. 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. In addition, the 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. 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 or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Items excluded from EBITDA, as adjusted, are significant and necessary components to the operation of our business, and, therefore, EBITDA, as adjusted, should only be used as a supplemental measure of our operating performance.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to our significant international operations. While the majority of our revenue contracts are denominated in the U.S. dollar, certain contracts or portions of certain contracts, most notably within our contract operations segment, are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Approximately 20% of revenues in our contract operations segment are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The currencies for which we have our largest exchange rate exposures are related to changes in the Argentine Peso and the Brazilian Real. During the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Argentine Peso depreciated by approximately 7% and Brazilian Real depreciated by approximately 12% and 1%, respectively.22%. The impact of foreign currency risk on income for these contracts is generally mitigated by matching costs with revenues in the same currency.

Table of Contents
Additionally, 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 foreign currency gainslosses of $0.7$1.4 million and foreign currency lossesgains of $1.9$0.7 million in our statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, 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 foreign currency exchange rate changes recorded on intercompany obligations. Our material exchange rate exposure relates to intercompany loans to subsidiaries whose functional currency are the Brazilian Real and Canadian Dollar, which loans carried U.S. dollars balances of $17.0$18.2 million and $18.4$25.2 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2019.2020. Foreign currency gains and losses included translation gains of $0.4$1.1 million and translation losses of $0.6$0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, related to the functional currency remeasurement of our foreign subsidiaries’ non-functional currency denominated intercompany obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we entered into forward currency exchange contracts to mitigate exposures in U.S. dollars related to the Argentine Peso, Brazilian Real and Indonesian Rupiah. As a result of entering into these contracts, we recognized losses of $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. 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.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act included in this Quarterly Report as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2.


Table of Contents


Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.


In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019.2020. Based on that evaluation, 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 principle financial officer, on a timely basis to ensure that it is recoded,recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


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

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. While management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, it believes that any ultimate liability arising from any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation and arbitration proceedings, 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 financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Contemporaneously with filing the Form 8-K on April 26, 2016, we self-reported the errors and possible irregularities at Belleli EPC to the SEC. On April 8, 2019, the SEC provided written notice to us stating that based on the information they havehad as of thisthat date, they have concluded their investigation and dodid not intend to recommend enforcement action by the SEC against us in connection with thisthat matter.


Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
There have been no material changes or updates to our risk factors that were previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019, except as follows:


Natural disasters, public health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and other catastrophic events outside of our control may adversely affect our business or the business of third parties on which we depend.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. In response to the pandemic, governmental authorities have mandated shutdowns, travel restrictions, social distancing requirements, stay at home orders and advisories and other restrictions. The COVID-19 pandemic and aggressive actions taken in response to it have negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption across most industries, including ours.

The extent to which the coronavirus pandemic impacts our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response; the effect on our customers and customer demand for our products, solutions, and services; our ability to sell and provide our products, solutions, and services, including as a result of supplier disruptions, travel restrictions and people working from home; the ability of our customers to pay for our products, solutions, and services; and any closures of our and our customers’ offices and facilities.

We are following local governmental guidance for viral spread mitigation, including having many of our employees who would traditionally work in an office work from home, and have put in place additional health and safety measures to protect our employees, customers and other parties who are working at our operating sites. However, the ability of our employees and our suppliers’ and customers’ employees to work may be significantly impacted by individuals contracting or being exposed to COVID-19, or as a result of the mitigation measures noted above, which may affect our ability to fulfill our obligations to our customers. See Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Impact of COVID-19 on our Business for further discussion of our response to, and the possible impact of, the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

Many countries have significantly shut down their economies to mitigate the spreading of the virus, thus impacting consumer spending including reduced demand for oil and natural gas. This could indirectly impact the demand for and pricing of our products and services and negatively impact our operating results. Further deterioration in economic conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, could lead to a further or prolonged decline in demand for our products and services and negatively impact our business. For example, customers may slow down decision making, delay planned work or seek to terminate or renegotiate existing agreements. The pandemic may also impact financial markets and corporate credit markets which could adversely impact our access to financing or the terms of any such financing. These types of events are unpredictable and can materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternate forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, in each case, as amended from time to time, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock is deemed to have received notice of and consented to the foregoing provision. This forum selection provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable or cost-effective for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees. However, this forum selection clause will not preclude or limit the scope of exclusive federal or concurrent jurisdiction for actions brought under the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
