Archrock Inc (AROC) 2011 Q1 法說會逐字稿

Good morning. Welcome to the Exterran Holdings, Inc. and Exterran Partners LP first quarter 2011 earnings conference call. At this time, I would like to inform you that this conference is being recorded, and that all participants are in a listen-only mode. We will open the teleconference for questions after the presentation.

Earlier today, Exterran Holdings and Exterran Partners released their financial results for the first quarter ended March 31st, 2011. If you have not received a copy, you can find the information on the Company's website at exterran.com. During this call, the Company will discuss some non-GAAP measures in reviewing their performance, such as EBITDA as adjusted, EBITDA as further adjusted, gross margin, gross margin as adjusted and distributable cash flow. You will find definitions and a reconciliation of these measures to GAAP measures in the summary pages of the earnings release, and on the Company's website at exterran.com.

During today's call, Exterran Holdings may be referred to as Exterran, or EXH, and Exterran Partners, as either Exterran Partners or EXLP. Because EXLP's financial results and position are consolidated into Exterran, the discussion of Exterran will include Exterran Partners unless otherwise noted. Also the term international will be used to refer to Exterran's operations out of the US and Canada, and the combination of US and Canada will be referred to as North America.

Your host for this morning's call is Ernie Danner, President and Chief Executive Officer of both Exterran Holdings and Exterran Partners. I would now like to turn the call over to him. Mr. Danner, you may begin your conference.

Thank you, Monica. Welcome to first quarter 2011 earnings call for Exterran Holdings and Exterran Partners. And joining me on the call today is Michael Anderson who is the CFO at the Holdings level, and Michael Aaronson, who is the CFO at Exterran Partners. As is our usual practice, I'll provide commentary on our operating activities and outlook and then turn the call over to Michael Anderson for the financial review.

I want to first start with the overview of the performance of the quarter. Overall, the first quarter results were largely in line with our expectations. We continue to make progress in the areas we are believe are important for our future growth and profitability.

First, solidifying our contract compression business in North America. Operating horsepower levels were less slightly flat for the quarter and we continue to expect our northern American contract business to grow by 50,000 operating horsepower this year. Second, increasing our overall fabrication backlog, backlog was up by almost 50 million in the quarter or about 7% from the December 31, 2010, level. And third, generation of significant free cash flow . We reduced debt by $150 million during the quarter and since the end of 2008, debt levels have declined by an excess of $750 million or $12 a share.

This position us well from the capital perspective to invest in growth opportunities around the world. The progress we've made in these areas lays the foundation to deliver revenue and EBITDA growth in 2011 and beyond. And, generally speaking from a very high level, demand in our North American business has been a bit better than we've expected while our international business has been a bit slower than we anticipated. We're still excited about our future prospects or international growth but the timing of that growth has been difficult to determine given that our business lines generally participate later in the cycle then at more exploration-oriented full services businesses.

Now we'll turn to more detailed discussion our business by geography starting in North America. As you know there has been continuing strong level of industry try around the shale plays and the more traditional oil plays. At Exterran we're also seeing and benefiting from strong demand, particularly from the liquids rich areas. We see the most growth in the newer shale plays, most notably the Eagle Ford in South Texas and the Marcellus in the Northeastern US, where we're seeing the impact in all our service and product lines, production equipment, process and treating, and compression services. And in the March quarter, we also had increased activity in the more mature Barnett shale where well head and gathering compression units were being added to move gas produced at lower pressures. In the Haynesville shale, we see solid demand for our production and treatment equipment product line and we're still not seeing meaningful compression requirements. Overall our business in North America which began improving in the second half of 2010 had a solid quarter of bookings, and we expect to see continued improvement through the remainder of 2011.

So focusing in now on our North America contract operations business. Our working horsepower increased by 7,000-horsepower by the first quarter. Our business continues to evolve in line with overall industry activity trends in North America with growth in the aforementioned shale areas offsetting a contraction in the conventional producing areas. From a pricing standpoint pricing remains very competitive. Relatively flat on a quarter over quarter basis but competitive nonetheless. And on the operating side, our contract calls increased in the first quarter. We had noted this in our prior earnings call held late in February that we expected increased calls due to cold weather but in the quarter and an ongoing basis and certain of operating areas we're seeing increased competition for field service personnel and resulting in labor cost pressures. With higher oil prices we're seeing cost pressures around lube oil for our units and fuel for our service trucks.

Our North America teams have recently put in place plans to reduce our operating costs and enhance overall efficiencies. As a result of this we expect our North American gross margin percentage to increase a couple of percentage points in the second quarter and expect to continue these efficiency efforts going forward and notwithstanding these efforts to reduce cost, we remain committed to maintain our safety performance and high quality service levels. Turning to fabrication in North America. In the first quarter we generated the highest levels of bookings for fab product that we have seen since 2008 and we were awarded sizable contracts for process and treating facilities in Utah, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas and continue to see high demand for our products for the balance of 2011.

Turning now to our international markets, our operating performance in international markets was generally in line with our expectations. Although new project bookings in our fabrication and contract off business remained below historical levels. The political turmoil in the Middle East has had a relatively minor impact on our existing operations but it has served to delay the timing of potential new opportunities in this area. Looking at the contract off segment in our international business revenues as expected were down sequentially bit due to customers executing a purchase option to buy 29,000-horsepower in the Asia Pacific region in the prior quarter. As we indicated, we continue to operate these units for the customer and expect to do this in the long term and these revenues are included in our AMS segment.

We did start up a major processing plant in Mexico late in the first quarter, and started another in the eastern hemisphere early in the second quarter. As a result we expect international contract offs revenue will increase quarter over quarter in the second quarter. In our international fabrication segment, first quarter bookings included compression orders for customers in China and Thailand. Looking ahead we're seeing good opportunities for processing and production related activities in Iraq, other areas of the Middle East, and in Russia. And compression growth in China and Russia, activity out of Singapore and continued opportunities in Brazil for FBSOs and prospects in our Belleli Energy business are lead by growing opportunities in reactor and vessel business.

Stepping back and looking at our business as a whole across the globe taking both North America and International into accounts, we're seeing increasing in North America and delays pickup in the international markets. And with North America margins generally lower than international margins, the net impacts of this change in our fabrication business will likely be lower overall fabrication margins.

Looking at Exterran Partners, results were generally inline with our expectations. The comments I made earlier about the positive trend in our North American contract offs business certainly also apply to Exterran Partners. In the quarter we increased our distribution by $0.005 per unit for the third consecutive quarter and added distributable cash flow coverage of 1.3. During the quarter we have obtained $150 million increase in the total commitment under our credit facility which brings this facility to $700 million, and we believe enhances our ability to execute our gross strategy and deliver long-term value to our unit holders.

So in conclusion before turning the call over to Michael for financial commentary from an operational perspective we believe we're well positioned to benefit from the infrastructure development opportunities around the world with our comprehensive and diversified product set and our large geographic footprint. from a capital perspective. From a capital perspective we plan to implement our strategy of creating value by dropping down the North American contract offs business to Exterran Partners which helps to fund the growth at Exterran Holdings. We're becoming increasingly optimistic about the role that natural gas will play around the world due to relatively low prices and plentiful supplies. The energy industry has been successful in developing shale resources in North America and we believe there are similar opportunities for infrastructure development in international markets. Our employee routine remains focused on creating value for our customers and are particularly focused on three distinct areas and it starts with compression with us. We're the market leader in compression providing quality products and creative solutions to our customers. And our expertise and market position in compression leads to increased opportunities in all our product lines. Then goes to speed. We bring value to our customers through the execution of our projects and the delivery of our products very quickly. And ends with great service. We remain committed to providing best in class service across all our product lines. Now to turn it over to Michael for the financial

Thanks a lot, Ernie, and good morning to everyone. I'm sure by now you've had a chance to look at our press release that we had issued early this morning. As Ernie had mentioned, our first quarter performance was largely in line with the guidance we provided in February at the time of our last earnings call.

If we look, first of all, at results for Exterran Holdings. North American revenue $151 million in the first quarter to a little above our guidance range helped by continuing stable pricing on the revenue for horsepower basis and also modest horsepower growth. Operating horsepower increased by 7,000 during the quarter and that was in line with our guidance and similar to the increase of 10,000 horsepower that we had during the fourth quarter. Gross margin percentage decreased sequentially during the quarter to 47% that was driven by higher operating costs covered earlier by Ernie and primarily related to cold weather early in the quarter. Maintenance capital was $17 million in North America during the first quarter and that compares to $18 million that we had in the fourth quarter. We had a total North American contract compression fleet of 3.7 million horsepower March 31 and fleet utilization was 77%.

As we look ahead at the second quarter, we expect North American contract operations revenue will be around $151 million that's in line with first quarter levels. The second quarter level would equate to relatively flat to modestly positive operating horsepower levels compared to the first quarter. We do expect margins to be up slightly sequentially in the order of about 2 percentage points due to efficiency initiatives that Ernie talked about and also the lack of cold weather related to the expenses in the first quarter.

Our international contract operations revenue was $106 million in the first water. That again was in line with our guidance. Gross margin of 61% was better than expected as certain maintenance related activities delay until the second quarter. Our international fleet was 1.2 million horsepower at the end of the first quarter, utilization was 82%. Operating horsepower, during the quarter, was relatively flat as reduced activity in Argentina and Brazil offset increased activity in Mexico. As we look ahead at the second quarter in this segment, we expect international contract revenues will increase to the $109 million to $111 million range for the quarter and that is going to be held to contributions in new projects in Mexico and Nigeria. In the second quarter we expect some one-time costs related to labor expense in Argentina, and one time costs from the demobilization and transfer of units from Brazil. Now these units in Brazil was part of a project that was terminated in the middle of last year. As a result of these expenses we actually expect second quarter margins are going to be down a bit in the mid to high 50%s although we do expect margins in the last half of the year to rebound to our more typical 60% type levels.

Moving over to fabrication we had revenues of $280 million in the first quarter and gross margins of 15%. Revenues and margins were somewhat higher than expected due in part to earlier than expected booking of installation revenue and also in improved North American business. Revenues during the quarter, excluding some installation work, consisted of the following percentages. 45% came from compression product line,35% production and processing, and 20% were Belleli. If you look at this geographically we had more than one-half of the revenues came from North America. As we look forward our backlog is now about 45% North America, 55% international.

For the second quarter fabrication revenues will be a little bit less than we had anticipated a quarter ago as we accelerated some of those revenues into the first quarter and we have also seen other revenues slide into the third. We expect fabrication revenues of $260 million to $280 million for the second quarter. Margins in the low teens reflecting a greater mix of business from North America that typically has slightly lower margins than our international business. If you look over at After Market Services, first quarter revenue was $82 million and gross margin was 11%. Overall margins remain under pressure due to in large part to competitive market conditions. As we look forward to the second quarter we expect revenues will be a little bit higher, $85 million to $90 million with the margins in the low to mid teens. We expect that the sequential revenue and margin increase will be driven in large part by incremental O&M contracts related to operating international compression and processing facilities.

SG&A expenses were $91 million for the quarter, that's down somewhat from fourth quarter levels and we expect SG&A expense will be up $1 million to $2 million in the second quarter largely due to the implementation of annual pay increases that took effect April 1 for many of our employees. Bring that down to the EBIDTA line, it was $94 million for the first quarter. Interest expense was $37 million. That's a little bit higher than we expected due in part to a write off for some deferred financing fees we had in the quarter. As we look forward in the second quarter, we expect cash interest expense for Exterran should be about $24 million to $25 million. GAAP interest expenses, we talked about last quarter, should be higher. In fact, in the order of $35 million to $36 million which includes about $11 million of non-cash interest.

First quarter depreciation and amortization expense was $90 million and we expect the second quarter and to be somewhere in that range again in the low $90 million area. Net capital expenditures were $24 million for the first quarter. Total CapX included about $21 million in growth that was primarily for new projects in North America and Latin America. Maintenance capital for the quarter for the full business was $22 million which, again, includes $17 million for North America. Proceeds from first quarter PP&E sales included primarily the funds that we received from the sales of those Thailand units we booked in the fourth quarter. As we look forward on capital expenditures for the full year 2011 we continue to believe that we'll be in the $225 million to $275 million range and that will include maintenance capital in the $85 million to $95 million range.

Looking over at the balance sheet total consolidated debt declined by $158 million during the quarter from $1.9 billion to $1.74 billion at March 31 . We of course remain committed to generating free cash flow and continue to expect we will reduce Exterran Holdings debt, that is exclusive of Partners debt, by $250 million to $300 million during 2011. And given our first quarter performance where we had debt reduction of $158 million, therefore we still expect $90 million to $140 million of debt reduction from the current Exterran Holdings debt level. Available but undrawn debt capacity on March 31 was about $600 million and that includes about $200 million of which is at Partners.

Now let's look specifically at Partners. As you know last week EXLP announced an increased distribution for the first quarter to $0.4775. That's a $1.91 on an annualized basis. That's about $0.005 higher than the fourth quarter 2010 distribution. It's also a $0.015 higher than the first quarter distribution a year ago. Total cash distribution to be paid by Exterran Partners for the first quarter distribution will be about $16.2 million and of this amount Exterran Holdings will receive about $6.9 million of it based upon its limited and general partner interest expense. The general partner , specifically, will receive $900,000 of distribution so that equates to an annualized distribution for the general partner of about $3.5 million a year.

EXLP generated EBIDTA of $31.2 million and distributable cash flow was $21.1 million in the first quarter. So the distributable cash flow covered distributions by 1.30 times. During the first quarter the Exterran Partner's fleet average operating horsepower was 1.387 million and that compares to 1.364 million last quarter. So up a little bit on operating horsepower. At the end of the quarter the fleet had a spot utilization rate of 87%. We continue to believe that Partners m

aintenance capital will be in the $22 million to $26 million range for 2011. Looking specifically at interest expense it was $7.1 million in the first quarter but, again, a small portion of that was actually cash, $4.2 million was cash interest and the balance was related to deferred financing fees and amortization of some old swap costs. In March we did increase the revolving borrowing capacity under Exterran Partners credit facility and increased by $150 million to $700 million and we believe the expansion of this credit facility, with its current unutilized capacity, enhances the ability of Partners to continue to grow through drop downs and other acquisitions. Lastly we expect to file the Exterran and Exterran Partners 10-Qs over the next couple of days.

At this point, Operator, we would like to open up the call

Thank you. (Operator Instructions)Our first questions comes from Joe Gibney of Capital One.

Good morning, Joe.

A quick question on the North American margins, Ernie, you referenced some of your efficiency efforts there, just curious, if you could elaborate, where you're getting traction, what you see in that sequential gain you're anticipating in Q2.

Well, most of--well the sequential gains comes from a couple of areas. One, we had higher than expected costs from the weather. So we eliminate some of that. We had some projects startup costs in there that were kind of one time. That will help us as well.

Then there's lots of areas that we're attacking in our cost structure in North America now and around the biggest areas for us revolve around labor costs, they revolve around lube oil costs, parts usage, and our teams are going down a good list of projects they're attacking to drive costs out. What we'll see most in the second quarter will be increased labor efficiency. We don't have any kind of riffs or any of that like that going on. We're getting efficient about getting our labor costs used efficiently. Our teams are working hard on that, getting the right labor sizing and the right markets to give good customer service.

Okay. Fair enough. You alluded to EBIDTA and revenue being up again year over year, as you indicated last quarter, I think the number you put out there last quarter was plus 5%. Is that still in intact out of Q1?

We were careful to set the stage on this, not to class it as guidance and not to say we were going to update it. It's still very much our target to achieve those goals in 2011 as we move forward.

Fair enough. Michael, one question, could you give me the EXH your EXLP ownership percentage here at quarter end.

Sure. It was 40%. It includes about 12.5 million lp units and 650,000 gp units. Total of 13.1 million equating to about 40% ownership.

Thank you very much. I'll turn it back.

Thanks, Joe.

Our next question comes from Mike Ervin of Deutsche bank.

Thanks, good morning.

Good morning, Mike.

I wanted to dig into the cost issue a little more. I get some of the stuff is non-recurring in efficiency. Specifically what are you doing, and why haven't you done it before? It seems that the significant majority of cost structure is out of your control at this point. You've got an inflationary environment from a labor standpoint, just given the activity in the industry and oil prices are completely out of your control. Just trying to understand more specifically some of the things you're attacking.

Well, I guess diving into a little more why didn't you do it before. We always have obviously any management team cares about costs. But as we've talked about earlier, given where we were a couple of three years ago in terms of service levels we have made the cautious decision to err on the side of over staffing up til this point because we so desperately needed to get our service levels ahead of our competitors, and meeting our or exceeding our customers' needs. We've gotten there now. We have great service levels and it's become a competitive advantage for us. Our people are there. That allows us now to just do the kind of blocking and tackling that we can--that we need to do to drive continuous improvement into our business and start driving costs out of it. Why now? Well, it's just time. We can.

And little more detail about it, it's about getting the right labor and the right spot at the right time. And we're having evolution of our markets in a way that we probably haven't seen in historic years, and we're adapting to the switch from conventional and the switch from west to South Texas, that dislocation makes it a challenge to keep moving people around and get them in the right spot. We're getting better at it. Our teams are focused more on getting the right people the right spot, the right labor loading.

I think the other areas around lube oil, around truck costs, parts usage, as our turnover has stayed fairly low. We've been retaining our people well. We get better at it. Our guys get better at not over using parts. They get better at having efficient routes. As you increase your run time on units and you decrease failures which we're doing very well, that leads to lower costs in parts usage as well. I don't know if that answers your question fully, Mike, but those are the things in the areas we're working on.

Yes, it definitely does. That's very helpful. Thank you for the detail. In an unrelated question there is concern, and a lot of talk in Washington about changes to the tax code. One of those being potential elimination of the tax benefits for pass through entities and partnerships. Have you thought about that at all and the impact on the EXLP and would there be an impact and if so would you be speculating a little bit on something that hasn't happened, but is there a contingency plan if the tax advantages of that structure go away in some shape or form.

There is certainly a lot of talk about it, and we're watching it very closely. We do not expect it to happen. We think they are--as it applies to the energy MLP levels, and activity, it is not what we expect. We expect a lot of noise about it, and if it did happen, and the pass through entity went away, it would have an impact on Exterran Partners. Since it's a key part of our strategy to continue to drop down and enjoy the better pricing that you see at the partners level from a unit standpoint, it would be a negative impact if that went away. Does it--we've deleverred enough now that it doesn't particularly hurt us in terms of our ability to execute our strategy. It just hurts our valuation in terms of getting optimal value. You get a pick up on the MLP level. Mike, do you wanted to expand on that.

Nope, I would not expand on that except to say we'll wait and see what happens. As Ernie said we don't anticipate any significant changes at this point.

Okay great thank you. That's all for me.

Our next question comes from Blake Hutchinson of Howard Weil, please go ahead.

Good morning, guys.

Good morning.

Hi, Blake.

Hi, first question, I think we take it back to the last conference call with regard to your outlook for your international compression operations. You had said that the project backlog had, I believe, somewhere around $20 million in revenue attached to it as we look out and given your guidance from a nice little revenue bump from Q1 to Q2 that would equate to a $20 million annual run rate. Should we without further award from here expect that the second half of the year will flatten out around that $110 million to $111 million quarter type run rate until we start to see some traction on further awards.

Yes, Blake, you caught on to the fact that a lot of our backlog and the majority of our backlog in the contract offs is going to be starting in the second quarter. I think by the end of the second quarter we'll probably be more in the $5 million range of backlog as we see it right now unless we add more things in there. That is not going to be a serious uptick as we look at the back half of the year based on what we have in backlog today.

So we definitely do see some further awards to sort of get that top line moving from here.

That's right. And as we have talked about in the past we do right now in terms of our outlook and I'll see am good things going on international. It's been a little bit slower in coming, but we also think a lot of work we see out there is more likely to hit the fab segment than contract operations on the international side.

Okay, great. And then just from, maybe you can lend a little, in terms of qualitatively, are we running through the sales from impaired assets, running through proceeds from sale of PP&E so can we read this as a nice successful first quarter of supplementing your cash flow through some sale and size that or characterize that if you care to.

Go ahead.

That remains ahead of us. What we got mostly in the first quarter really was the collection of the receivable that was booked at the end of last year for the Thailand units that were exercised.

Okay.

So the opportunity, and we indicated last time that we thought we would get $90 million of proceeds from the sale of the units. That still remains ahead of us, and a great opportunity to supplement the cash flow.

Okay, and then just finally, Ernie, if you can, maybe give us a kind of broader update on the after market business. Competitive landscape. We didn't go into too much detail on that and the quarter.

No, it's very competitive in North America, which is the biggest part of our business. There's plenty of people, work out there at low gas prices customers continue to think--allow failures on their own equipment. So preventive maintenance levels are a little down. So it is just--the North America business remains competitive and challenged. As we move outside into the--i'll come back to your question in a minute. As we go to the eastern hemisphere we're going to start seeing some upticks in revenue and margin in the eastern hemisphere as we start executing and putting in to some contracts that we have, that existing contracts to operate plants and equipment mostly all of which we built and recognize fab revenue and now we'll start turning to the operating mode. You had a follow-up.

That's precisely it. We should just think of North America as probably not going to improve until North American compression operations themselves improve and eastern hemisphere is your growth engineer.

That's fair.

Great. I'll turn it back. Thanks a lot.

(Operator Instructions)The question comes from Tom Curran of Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.

Looking across three of your most promising international growth opportunities over the next 12 to 18 months was hoping you might give us an update in terms of the tenders currently outstanding that you have, or are preparing to bid on, and then the expected timing of the award of those tenders for three markets. The first would be the early production facilities in Iraq. The second would be I believe it's four remaining coal bed methane projects in Australia. And the third would be FBSO opportunities related worldwide.

Okay, kind of taking those in order. EPFs in Iraq, we continue to execute and book more business on one project that we have there. The results on the second kind of big project we bid have not been formerly announced at this point. We don't have the results there. I will tell that you in general activity levels and inquiry levels for the build out of that continue to be very high. So we're strategically located. We've done good work on the work we have done on existing projects so we remain optimistic about getting more business there in the next 12 to 18 months.

On the coal bed methane in Australia, that is one that hasn't gone as well. As you know our competition really in this case has really--it's going to move into the spin off, and has done well there and continues to garner that business. So they will run into capacity issues but that's a very competitive situation and we have not excelled on getting Australia business. The FBSO in Brazil we have--they're continuing tenders coming out over the next 12 months. We have made progress in getting our facilities situation in a way where we can execute that.

We're training employees in Singapore, we're sending Brazilian employees in Singapore to execute that when we do get some tenders. Those remain sizable and we would be very hopeful in getting something in the next 6 to 12 months. So those EPS and FBSO remain hot prospects for us. The Australia business we have not been very successful in.

And just so I understand correctly on the FBSO front, are you referring to when you expect to receive the tender or do you have the tender--

The tenders will be coming--they're coming every quarter at this point. So revenues, material revenues will be earned if we're successful in that 12 to 18 month period.

That's a reference of when you would actually expect to book the revenues, not receiving the award.

Correct.

And just please remind me, Ernie or Michael, of your estimated total accessible market range per FBSO opportunity?

Well, the way these things are done they do modules, and depending on the customer 8 to 12 modules per FBSO and each of the modules depending on the size are somewhere between $8 million to is $15 million. So, we try to attack three or four per FBSO and we will see how many we get.

Okay. And then just jumping back to Australia, was I correct, is my understanding accurate that there were five projects. I knew you had lost the first one. How many of the remaining four, if that is the right number, had been awarded thus far.

I think there were four major projects. There has one that was publicly awarded. The second one I don't think we'll get either. The third and fourth remain opportunities.

And you're still in the fight.

Yes.

Thank you for the call, Ernie. That's all I have.

(Operator Instructions)I'm showing no further questions at this time. I'll now turn the call back over to Ernie Danner for any closing remarks.

Thank you very much for your attendance today, and we look forward to talking to you in another quarter.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. This concludes today's conference. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
