Forward-Looking StatementsStatements about Universal Compression Holdings’ and Universal Compression Partners’ (collectively, the “Companies”)
outlook and all other statements in this presentation (and oral statements made regarding the subjects of this presentation) other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and factors, many of which are outside the Companies’ control, which could cause the Companies’actual results to differ materially from such statements. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements regarding: the ability of Universal Compression Holdings and Hanover Compressor Company to complete their proposed merger; the belief that the merger will allow the Companies to realize anticipated synergies, will enhance value for stockholders, will enhance future growth of Universal Compression Partners and will close under the anticipated timing; the suggestion that fleet will continue to grow in large horsepower range, that fleet utilization will remain stable and that such stability will create recurring cash flow; the suggestion that Universal Compression Holdings’ efforts to address recent cost pressures in the domestic contract compression segment will be successful; the Companies’ improving credit ratios and planned refinancing strategy; market, industry and the Companies’ financial trends; intent to continue to expand aftermarket service base through acquisitions in international markets; Universal Compression Holdings’ intent to offer the reminder of its domestic contract compression fleet to Universal Compression Partners and intent that Universal Compression Partners will be its primary growth vehicle for domestic contract compression; and the expectation that Universal Compression Partners will seek approval to raise its cash distributions for the third quarter of 2007 by approximately $0.0375 to $0.05 per unit, or approximately $0.15 to $0.20 per unit on an annualized basis. While the Companies believe that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors that could impact the future performance or results of their or Exterran’s business. Among the factors that could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are: the conditions in the oil and gas industry, including a sustained decrease in the level of supply or demand for natural gas and the impact on the price of natural gas; Universal Compression Holdings’ ability to timely and cost-effectively obtain components necessary to conduct our business;changes in safety and environmental regulations pertaining to the production and transportation of natural gas; as to each of the Companies, the performance of the other entity; failure to receive shareholder approval for the merger, whether Hanover’s or Universal Compression Holdings’; the failure to satisfy various other conditions to the closing of the merger contemplated by the merger agreement; and if the merger closes, the failure to realize anticipated synergies from it.
These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors, forward-looking statements and challenges and uncertainties described in the Companies’ Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and those set forth from time to time in the Companies’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available through our website www.universalcompression.com. The Companies expressly disclaim any intention or obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

EBITDA, as adjusted, is defined as net income plus income taxes, interest expense (including debt extinguishment costs and gain on termination of interest rate swaps), leasing expense, depreciation and amortization, foreign currency gains or losses, mergerrelated expenses, minority interest, excluding non-recurring items (including facility consolidation costs), and extraordinary gains or losses. Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company changed its definition of EBITDA, as adjusted, to exclude foreign currency gains or losses. All periods prior to September 30, 2002 have been recalculated from amounts previouslydisclosed by the Company to be consistent with this new definition of EBITDA, as adjusted.
EBITDA, as adjusted, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income as an indicator of our operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as ameasure of our liquidity. Additionally, the EBITDA, as adjusted computation used herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that EBITDA, as adjusted, is a useful measure that is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresGross margin is defined as total revenue less cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense). Gross margin represents the results of revenue and cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), which are key components of our operations. Gross margin differs from gross profit, which includes depreciation expense. We believe gross margin is important because it focuses on the current operating performance of our operations and excludes the impact of the prior historical costs of the assets acquired or constructed that are utilized in those operations, the indirect costs associated with our selling, general and administrative activities, the impact of our financing methods and income taxes. Management uses this non-GAAP measure as a supplemental measure to other GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of our performance. As an indicator of our operating performance, gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP.
