"We remain committed to accuracy and transparency in our financial reporting, and today's filings are an important step forward for Exterran," said Andrew Way, Exterran's president and chief executive officer. "We thank our shareholders for their patience as we completed this process. We continued to create value by generating cash and repaying $177 million in debt for the year ended December 31, 2016. This was accomplished by maintaining focus on our contract operations and aftermarket services businesses, which produce recurring revenue and cash flows, while building a successful foundation for our oil and gas product sales through a lower cost structure. We also reduced overall operating costs, significantly lowered general and administrative expenses, streamlined our sales approach to better align with our customers and the markets we serve, strengthened our management team and fortified our already strong financial position and liquidity."
