Business Context and Reporting Period

This Form 8-K is a current report filed by Exterran Holdings, Inc. (noting the metadata reference to Archrock, Inc. likely reflects a subsequent corporate evolution or data mapping error, as the filing explicitly names Exterran) on February 24, 2011. The report serves to announce the company's financial results for the quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2010.

Key Financial Metrics

The filing text itself does not contain specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. These metrics are detailed in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated by reference. The filing explicitly states that financial results for the subsidiary, Exterran Partners, L.P., are not incorporated into this report.

Material Changes

The document does not provide specific data regarding material changes versus prior periods. It solely acts as a notification that the results for the period ended December 31, 2010, have been released to the public via the attached press release.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

The filing text contains no management commentary, forward-looking guidance, risk factors, or discussion of contingencies. It includes a standard legal disclaimer stating that the information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will not be incorporated by reference into other filings unless specifically identified.

Investor Verification Checklist

  • Review Exhibit 99.1 (the press release) for actual financial figures, as they are absent from the main 8-K text.
  • Verify the distinction between Exterran Holdings, Inc. results and Exterran Partners, L.P. results, as the latter are excluded from this filing.
  • Confirm the corporate identity, as the metadata lists "Archrock, Inc." while the filing is for "Exterran Holdings, Inc."
  • Check subsequent filings to see if the press release data was later incorporated by reference into other regulatory documents.
