ENERFLEX LTD. REPORTS STRONG FIRST-QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS, INCLUDING ENGINEERED SYSTEMS BOOKINGS OF $517 MILLION
NEWS RELEASE
CALGARY, Alberta, May 3, 2023 Enerflex Ltd. (TSX: EFX) (NYSE: EFXT) (Enerflex or the Company) today reported its financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Enerflexs first-quarter results demonstrate the successful execution of our long-term strategy to grow our base of stable energy infrastructure assets and our ability to build upon the momentum we generated in our manufacturing business in 2022. We expanded margins, reduced costs, lowered our leverage ratio, and successfully completed two large infrastructure projects in the quarter, explained Marc Rossiter, Enerflexs President and Chief Executive Officer. Our priorities for 2023 are unchanged we continue to focus on post-acquisition deleveraging and synergies, delivering sustainable returns to shareholders, and safely delivering critical natural gas and energy transition solutions to our customers around the globe.
OVERVIEW
● | Enerflex reported first-quarter 2023 financial results that included record quarterly revenue of $825 million. Revenue increased across all regions and product lines and reflects continued operational momentum within the business. |
● | The Company is focused on continuing to expand its gross margin and reduce its overall cost structure. Relative to the fourth quarter of 2022, Enerflex expanded its gross margin by 27% to $161 million and significantly reduced core selling and administrative expenses (SG&A). |
● | Enerflex recognized net earnings of $14 million and adjusted earnings before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) of $123 million(1) in the first quarter of 2023. |
● | The Company generated $55 million of distributable cash flow(1), comprised of $73 million generated from normal course operations and $18 million of restructuring, transaction, and integration costs. Distributable cash flow was used to fund the completion of two large infrastructure projects and will now prioritize deleveraging for the balance of the year. As at March 31, 2023, Enerflexs bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.9 times(1). |
● | Enerflex safely brought the following two infrastructure projects in the Middle East to commercial operation in the first quarter of 2023, the cash flows from which are expected to significantly contribute to the Companys deleveraging strategy. |
● | The second phase of a natural gas infrastructure asset, underpinned by a 10-year take-or-pay contract with a national oil company. The projects first phase commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2022. |
● | A build-own-operate-maintain (BOOM) produced water facility, underpinned by a 10-year take-or-pay contract with a joint venture between a national oil company and an international super-major oil and gas company. The project will commence generating contracted revenue in the second quarter of 2023. |
● | Work continues on the modularized cryogenic natural gas processing facility (the Cryogenic Facility) in the Middle East. The project is being accounted for as a product sale and is expected to be completed in 2024. |
● | Enerflex delivered excellent results within its manufacturing business during the first quarter of 2023. The Engineered Systems product line generated $481 million of revenue with a realized gross margin of 15.5%. Total |

Refer to Non-IFRS Measures of this news release for the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in Enerflexs current financial statements to which such non-IFRS measure relates, and a reconciliation to such comparable financial measure. |
new Engineered Systems bookings of $517 million(1) replenished the Companys backlog to maintain a balance of $1.5 billion(1). This was Enerflexs highest quarter of bookings since 2018. |
● | Building on the successes achieved in its Energy Transition business in 2022, approximately $85 million of the quarters Engineered Systems bookings were for electric compression units, which will aid significantly in reducing the environmental impact of customer operations. Enerflex secured an additional $10 million of energy transition-related bookings in the period and continues to collaborate with customers to advance various other energy transition projects. |
● | Enerflex has now captured approximately US$50 million of the expected US$60 million of annual run-rate synergies associated with the acquisition of Exterran Corporation (Exterran) that closed on October 13, 2022 (the Transaction), attained primarily through reductions in overhead. In addition, to optimize its global manufacturing footprint and increase operational efficiencies within the business, Enerflex plans to close its manufacturing facilities in the United Arab Emirates and Singapore in 2023. The Company is currently assessing the costs and synergies associated with the closures. Any such synergies will be incremental to the US$50 million already captured. |

The Company also plans to safely advance the Cryogenic Facility in the Middle East. |
● | Enerflex continues to expect that it will reduce its bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio to below 2.5 times by the end of the year due to strong cash flow generation anticipated across all product lines. As at March 31, 2023, the Companys bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.9 times. |
● | Once the Companys debt reduction target has been met, Enerflex anticipates it will have the optionality to deliver increased capital returns to shareholders and invest profitably in strategic growth projects. |
2023 GUIDANCE
● | Enerflex reaffirms its previously disclosed financial guidance for 2023, including its expectations that it will meet its debt reduction target by the end of the year, reflecting the Companys commitment to deleveraging and delivering on its near-term strategic objectives. |
● | During the first quarter of 2023, Enerflex invested $51 million in growth capital expenditures, primarily to complete the two BOOM produced water projects that were being advanced in 2022.

MARKET OUTLOOK
● | Enerflexs opportunity set remains constructive across all regions. The Companys large base of international energy infrastructure assets throughout Latin America and the Eastern Hemisphere is expected to continue serving the growing need for reliable power and energy independence and deliver stable, predictable performance for the Company. |
● | In North America, new Engineered Systems bookings continue to be weighted toward crude oil and liquids-rich natural gas resources plays, with near-term weakness in natural gas prices not materially impacting the Companys manufacturing business. Enerflex is securing a growing number of energy transition-related projects and the Companys contract compression fleet utilization remains at record highs, which has enabled Enerflex to increase its pricing through re-contracting efforts. |
|
Q1 2023 Earnings News Release | 3 |
● | The long-term fundamentals for natural gas remain robust given the critical role the commodity is expected to play as a key transition fuel in global decarbonization efforts. Enerflex is poised to continue capitalizing on the growing demand for low-carbon solutions through its vertically integrated natural gas and energy transition solutions by collaborating with customers and securing new projects. |
FIRST-QUARTER 2023 RESULTS
FINANCIAL RESULTS
● | Enerflex generated a record $825 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting continued operational momentum within the business. Revenue increased across all regions and product lines relative to the fourth quarter of 2022. |

● | The Company generated $55 million of distributable cash flow, comprised of $73 million generated from normal course operations and $18 million of restructuring, transaction, and integration costs. Distributable cash flow was used to fund the completion of two large infrastructure projects and will now prioritize deleveraging for the balance of the year. |
FINANCIAL POSITION
● | Deleveraging is one of Enerflexs top priorities for 2023, and the Company continues to expect that it will reduce its bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio to below 2.5 times by the end of the year. |

NON-IFRS MEASURES
Throughout this news release and other materials disclosed by the Company, Enerflex employs certain measures to analyze its financial performance, financial position, and cash flows, including Engineered Systems bookings and backlog, operating income, EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, net debt, net debt to EBITDA ratio, and ROCE. These non-IFRS measures are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Accordingly, the non-IFRS measures should not be considered more meaningful than generally accepted accounting principles measures, such as net earnings or any other measure of performance determined in accordance with IFRS, as indicators of Enerflexs performance. Refer to Adjusted EBITDA and Non-IFRS Measures of Enerflexs MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2023, information from which is incorporated by reference into this news release and can be accessed on Enerflexs website at www.enerflex.com and under Enerflexs SEDAR and EDGAR profiles at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov/edgar, respectively.
ENGINEERED SYSTEMS BOOKINGS AND BACKLOG
Enerflex monitors its Engineered Systems bookings and backlog as indicators of future revenue and business activity levels for the Engineered Systems product line. Bookings are recorded in the period when a firm commitment or order is received from customers, increasing the Companys backlog in the period. Conversely, revenue recognized on Engineered Systems products decreases backlog in the period that the revenue is recognized. Accordingly, backlog is an indication of revenue to be recognized in future periods using percentage-of-completion accounting. Revenue from contracts that have been classified as finance leases for newly built equipment is recorded as Engineered Systems bookings. The full amount of revenue is removed from backlog at the commencement of the lease.
OPERATING INCOME
The Company defines operating income as income before income taxes, finance costs, net of interest income, equity earnings or losses, gains or losses on disposal of assets, and impairment of goodwill. Operating income assists the reader in understanding the net contributions made from the Companys core businesses after considering SG&A. Each operating segment assumes responsibility for its operating results as measured by, amongst other factors, operating income. Financing and related charges cannot be attributed to business segments on a meaningful basis that is comparable to other companies. Business segments and income tax jurisdictions are not synonymous, and it is believed that the allocation of income taxes distorts the historical comparability of the operating performance of business segments.
EBIT
EBIT provides the results generated by the Companys primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed or taxed in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
EBITDA
EBITDA provides the results generated by the Companys primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, how assets are amortized, or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions.
|
Q1 2023 Earnings News Release | 6 |
ADJUSTED EBITDA
Enerflexs results include items that are unique and items that Management and users of the financial statements adjust for when evaluating the Companys results. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from EBIT or EBITDA as determined under IFRS.
The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before net finance costs and income taxes adjusted for depreciation and amortization. Further adjustments are made for items that are unique or not in the normal course of continuing operations, improving the comparability across items within the financial statements or between periods of financial statements. These adjustments include restructuring, transaction, and integration costs, share-based compensation, government grants, the impact of finance leases, and other items, which the Company does not consider to be in the normal course of continuing operations. Management believes that identification of these items allows for a better understanding of the underlying operations of the Company and increases comparability of the Companys results. Items the Company has previously considered are impairments or gains on disposal of idle facility and impairment of goodwill, which are considered to be unique, non-recurring, and non-cash transactions, that are not indicative of the ongoing normal operations of the Company. Accordingly, the Company has included these items in determining its adjusted EBITDA.
Management believes that identification of these items allows for a better understanding of the underlying operations of the Company based on its current assets and structure.

Had the interest income been presented in EBIT, adjusted EBITDA would have been $130 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 ($93 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022). |
DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW
The Company defines distributable cash flow as cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for the net change in working capital and other, less maintenance capital expenditures and net lease payments. Enerflex uses this measure to assess the level of cash flow generated by the business and to evaluate the adequacy of internally generated cash flow to fund dividends, capital expenditures, and payments to creditors.

NET DEBT TO EBITDA
The Company defines net debt as short- and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents at period end, which is then divided by annualized EBITDA. To assess whether the Company is compliant with the financial covenants related
|
Q1 2023 Earnings News Release | 7 |
to its debt instruments, certain adjustments are made to net debt and EBITDA to determine Enerflexs bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio.
ROCE
ROCE is a measure that analyzes the operating performance and efficiency of the Companys capital allocation decisions. The ratio is calculated by dividing EBIT for the 12-month trailing period by capital employed, which is debt and equity less cash and cash equivalents based on a trailing four-quarter average.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(All amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted.)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) | Statement of Compliance |
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (Financial Statements) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, and were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors (the Board) on May 3, 2023.
(b) | Basis of Presentation and Measurement |
The Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all the disclosures included in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, these Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation.
The preparation of these Financial Statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions based on existing knowledge that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
The Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is Enerflexs (the Company) presentation currency, rounded to the nearest thousand, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted, and are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost basis with certain financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at fair value. There have been no significant changes in accounting policies compared to those described in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2022.
(c) | Current Accounting Policy Changes |
i. | IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (IAS 8) |
Effective January 1, 2023, the definition of accounting estimates will be amended under IAS 8. Under the amended definition, a change in an input or a change in a measurement technique are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors. The amendment further clarifies that accounting estimates are monetary amounts in the financial statements subject to measurement uncertainty.
ii. | IAS 12 Income Taxes (IAS 12) |
In May 2021, the IASB issued amendment to IAS 12, which narrows the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Under the amendments, the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. It only applies if the recognition of a related asset and liability give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences that are not equal.
These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and the Company adopted these amendments as of January 1, 2023. There were no adjustments that resulted from the adoption of these amendments on January 1, 2023.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITION
On October 13, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition (the Transaction) of Exterran Corporation (Exterran) for total consideration of approximately $222.6 million. For more details see Note 7 Acquisition of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The purchase price allocation was allocated based on Managements best estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at October 13, 2022. As of the Transaction date the Company was investigating options for the disposal of certain energy infrastructure assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold these assets which resulted in the adjustment of fair value. The adjusted purchase price allocation resulting in decreases to energy infrastructure assets of $12.8 million and net working capital, $0.2 million, and increases to deferred tax assets, $3.5 million and goodwill, $9.5 million. Total goodwill for the Transaction as at December 31, 2022 was $148.9 million (October 13, 2022 $139.4 million).
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred $17.8 million (March 31, 2022 $5.7 million) of further restructuring, transaction, and integration costs directly related to the Transaction. These costs are included in cost of goods sold (COGS) and selling and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the interim condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

The amount of inventory and overhead costs recognized as an expense and included in COGS during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $664.4 million (March 31, 2022 $269.4 million). COGS is made up of direct materials, direct labour, depreciation on manufacturing assets, post-manufacturing expenses, and overhead. COGS also includes inventory write-downs pertaining to obsolescence and aging, and recoveries of past write-downs upon disposition. The net change in inventory reserves charged to the interim condensed consolidated statements of earnings and included in COGS for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $2.5 million (March 31, 2022 $1.0 million).
The costs related to the construction of energy infrastructure assets determined to be finance leases are accounted for as work-in-progress related to finance leases. Once a project is completed and enters service it is reclassified to COGS. The Company invested $4.7 million (March 31, 2022 $29.2 million) related to finance leases that commenced operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company does not have any finance lease projects in progress as at March 31, 2023.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (CGU) which are the Companys operating segments that represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill acquired through historical business combinations has been allocated to the Canada, USA, Latin America (LATAM) and Eastern Hemisphere (EH) operating segments. Management performed an assessment comparing the carrying amount and recoverable amount for each operating segment at September 30, 2022, the result of which was an impairment of goodwill in the Canada operating segment as indicators of impairment were identified. Management performed another assessment for each operating segment at December 31, 2022, and concluded no further impairment. At March 31, 2023, Management determined that there were no indicators of impairment and that the previous assessment continued to best represent the recoverability of the Companys goodwill.
As of the Transaction date the Company was investigating options for the disposal of certain energy infrastructure assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold these assets which resulted in the adjustment of fair value and is reflected in the December 31, 2022 comparative period, refer to Note 2 Acquisition for more information.

The applicable statutory tax rate is the aggregate of the Canadian federal income tax rate of 15.0 percent (2022 15.0 percent) and the Alberta provincial income tax rate of 8.4 percent (2022 8.8 percent).
The Companys effective tax rate is subject to fluctuations in the Argentine peso and Mexican peso exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. Since the Company holds significant energy infrastructure assets in Argentina and Mexico, the tax base of these assets are denominated in Argentine peso and Mexican peso, respectively. The functional currency is the U.S. dollar and as a result, the related local currency tax bases are revalued periodically to reflect the closing U.S. dollar rate against the local currency. Any movement in the exchange rate results in a corresponding unrealized exchange rate gain or loss being recorded as part of deferred income tax expense or recovery. During periods of large fluctuation or devaluation of the local currency against the U.S. dollar, these amounts may be significant but are unrealized and may reverse in the future. Recognition of these amounts is required by IFRS, even though the revalued tax basis does not generate any cash tax obligation or liability in the future.

Refer to Note 10 for more information on interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan and Notes.
NOTE 16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Designation and Valuation of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments at March 31, 2023 were designated in the same manner as they were at December 31, 2022. Accordingly, with the exception of the Notes, the estimated fair values of financial instruments approximated their carrying values. The carrying value and estimated fair value of the Notes as at March 31, 2023 was $845.8 million and $861.9 million, respectively (December 31, 2022 $846.5 million and $869.3 million, respectively). The fair value of these Notes at March 31, 2023 was determined on a discounted cash flow basis with a weighted average discount rate of 9.8 percent (December 31, 2022 9.0 percent).
The Company previously held preferred shares that were initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost and recognized as long-term receivables in Other assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 the Company redeemed these preferred shares and recognized a gain in excess of the carrying value, which is included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The carrying value and estimated fair value of the preferred shares at December 31, 2022 was $28.0 million and $28.7 million, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting
Foreign exchange contracts are transacted with financial institutions to hedge foreign currency denominated obligations and cash receipts related to purchases of inventory and sales of products.

At March 31, 2023, the fair value of derivative financial instruments classified as financial assets was $0.2 million, and as financial liabilities was $0.4 million (December 31, 2022 $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively).
Foreign Currency Translation Exposure
The Company is subject to foreign currency translation exposure, primarily due to fluctuations of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, Brazilian real and Argentine peso (ARS). Enerflex uses foreign currency borrowings to hedge against the exposure that arises from foreign subsidiaries that are translated to the Canadian dollar through a net investment hedge. As a result, foreign exchange gains and losses on the translation of US$615.9 million in designated foreign currency borrowings are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for March 31, 2023. The following table shows the sensitivity to a five percent weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar (USD), Australian dollar (AUD), and Brazilian real (BRL).

The movement in net earnings before tax in Canadian operations is a result of a change in the fair values of financial instruments. The majority of these financial instruments are hedged.
With the ongoing devaluation of the Argentine peso, caused by high inflation, the Company is at risk for foreign exchange losses on its cash balances denominated in ARS. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had foreign exchange losses of $12.0 million, which represented 22 percent of the Argentina cash balance. If the ARS weakens by five percent, the Company could experience additional foreign exchange losses of approximately $2.6 million. There is a risk of higher losses based on the further devaluation of the ARS. The Company will continue to explore its options to minimize the impact of future devaluation.
Interest Rate Risk
The Companys liabilities include long-term debt that is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. The Companys Notes outstanding at March 31, 2023 has a fixed interest rate and therefore the related interest expense will not be impacted by fluctuations in interest rates. Conversely, the Companys Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan are subject to changes in market interest rates.
For each one percent change in the rate of interest on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, the change in annual interest expense would be $5.2 million. All interest charges are recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statements of earnings as finance costs.
F-19 |
|
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. In managing liquidity risk, the Company has access to a significant portion of its Revolving Credit Facility for future drawings to meet the Companys future growth targets. As at March 31, 2023, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $262.4 million and had drawn $727.5 million against the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, leaving it with access to $247.7 million for future drawings. The Company continues to meet the covenant requirements of its funded debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan and Notes, with a senior secured net funded debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.0:1, compared to a maximum ratio of 2.5:1, and a net funded debt to EBITDA (bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA) ratio of 2.9:1, compared to a maximum ratio of 4.5:1, and an interest coverage ratio of 4.5:1 compared to a minimum ratio of 2.5:1. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the trailing 12-month EBITDA, as defined by the Companys lenders, by interest expense over the same timeframe.
A liquidity analysis of the Companys financial instruments has been completed on a maturity basis. The following table outlines the cash flows, including interest associated with the maturity of the Companys financial liabilities, as at March 31, 2023:

Legal Proceedings
On January 31, 2022, the Local Labor Board of the State of Tabasco in Mexico (the Labor Board) awarded a former employee of Exterran MXN$2,152 million (CAD$149 million) in connection with a dispute relating to the employees severance pay following termination of his employment in 2015.
We believe the order of the Labor Board is in error and has no credible basis in law or fact. In 2017, the Labor Board ruled that the former employee was entitled to approximately MXN$1.4 million (approximately US$70,000 at the then prevailing exchange rate) as severance based on an appellate courts determination that the employees salary was approximately MXN$3,500 per day. However, the Labor Boards January 2022 order significantly increased the amount the employee is owed to approximately US$120 million, ignoring the actual salary that had been established by the appellate court and using an amount the former employee never actually received while working for Exterran.
We have appealed the decision, and the appeal is pending before the First Collegiate Court of the Tenth Circuit in Labor Matters, in Villahermosa, Mexico. In the meantime, the Company is pursuing all available avenues to preserve its rights, and in Q1 filed a notice of intent with the Mexican government advising them of various potential investment treaty claims against the Mexican government should the Labor Boards order not be overturned or otherwise vacated.
The Company is involved in litigation and claims associated with normal operations against which certain provisions may be made in the Financial Statements. Management is of the opinion that any resulting settlement arising from the litigation would not materially affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.

NOTE 19. SEASONALITY
The energy sector in Canada and in some parts of the USA has a distinct seasonal trend in activity levels which results from well-site access and drilling pattern adjustments to take advantage of weather conditions. Generally, Enerflexs Engineered Systems product line has experienced higher revenues in the fourth quarter of each year while Energy Infrastructure and After-Market Services product line revenues have been stable throughout the year. Energy Infrastructure revenues are also impacted by both the Companys and its customers capital investment decisions. The USA, LATAM and EH segments are not significantly impacted by seasonal variations. Variations from these trends usually occur when hydrocarbon energy fundamentals are either improving or deteriorating.
NOTE 20. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company has identified three reporting segments for external reporting:
● | NAM consists of operations in Canada and the USA. The segment generates revenue from manufacturing natural gas infrastructure under contract, refrigeration, processing, and electric power equipment, including custom and standard compression packages and modular natural gas processing equipment, refrigeration systems and produced water treatment services, in addition to generating revenue from mechanical services and parts, and maintenance solutions, and operating our compression assets under contract for oil and gas and midstream customers. |
● | LATAM consists of operations in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru. The segment generates revenue from operating Enerflexs Energy Infrastructure assets under take-or-pay contracts, providing after-market services, including parts and components, as well as operations, maintenance, and overhaul services. |
● | EH consists of operations in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia Pacific. The segment generates revenue by operating Enerflexs Energy Infrastructure assets under take-or-pay contracts, manufacturing (focusing on large-scale process equipment), after-market services, including parts and components, as well as operations, maintenance, and overhaul services, and rentals of compression and processing equipment. |
The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Companys annual consolidated financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2022.
For internal Management reporting, the Companys Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) has identified four operating segments which include: Canada; USA; Latin America; and Eastern Hemisphere. Each of the operating segments are supported by the Corporate head office. Corporate overheads are allocated to the operating segments based on revenue. In assessing its reporting and operating segments, the Company considered geographic locations, economic characteristics, the nature of products and services provided, the nature of production processes, the types of customers for its products and services, and distribution methods used. These considerations also factored into the decision to combine Canada and USA into one reporting segment. For each of the operating segments, the CODM reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had no individual customer which accounted for more than 10 percent of its revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $46.0 million from one customer in the EH segment, which represented 14.2 percent of the total revenue for the period. At March 31, 2022, the accounts receivable balance from this customer was $17.7 million, which represented 8.0 percent of the total accounts receivables.

FIRST QUARTER 2023 OVERVIEW
For the three months ended March 31, 2023:
● | The Company delivered strong results in all segments with the addition of Exterrans business, new contracted energy infrastructure assets, including the commencement of a previously announced finance lease project, and a significant increase in Engineered Systems bookings and backlogs resulting in strong financial results that the Company has not reported since 2018. |
● | Engineered Systems bookings totaled $516.6 million, which is a significant increase from $236.9 million recorded in the same period of 2022, predominantly in our North America (NAM) segment. The bookings are the highest the Company has recorded since the fourth quarter of 2018. |
● | Engineered Systems backlog at March 31, 2023 was $1.5 billion, a slight increase from the backlog at December 31, 2022. The movement in the current period is related to the new bookings, offset by the drawdown of existing backlog that contributed to significant Engineered Systems revenue recorded in the period. |
● | The Company recorded revenue of $825.0 million in the current quarter compared to $323.1 million in the comparable period, with increases in all of the Companys product lines. These increases are due to the contributions of the acquired Exterran business; a stronger opening backlog leading to improved Engineered Systems revenues; an increase in Energy Infrastructure revenue, primarily from higher contract compression utilizations in the USA and the commencement of a finance lease project in the Middle East; and higher After-Market Services activities from improved parts sales and customer maintenance activities. |
● | Gross margin was $160.7 million and 19.5 percent for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $53.6 million and 16.6 percent for the comparable period. The higher gross margin is primarily due to the additional revenue contributions from Exterran, a higher margin opening backlog, primarily in the NAM segment, and an overall increased volume of work. The increased gross margin percentage is attributable to higher margin projects and strong project execution. |
● | SG&A of $115.8 million in the first quarter of 2023 was up from $46.8 million in the same period last year. This increase is primarily the result of SG&A to support the acquired Exterran business, restructuring, transaction, and integration costs, and foreign exchange losses due to the ongoing devaluation of the Argentine peso. |
● | The ongoing devaluation of the Argentine peso, caused by high inflation, resulted in foreign exchange losses of $12.0 million. Foreign exchange losses were partially offset by $7.1 million of interest income from associated instruments, though such offsets are not reflected in operating income. |
● | Operating income of $44.9 million was higher than the prior period operating income of $6.8 million, primarily due to increased gross margins from higher revenue, offset by higher SG&A. |
● | The Company invested $58.6 million in Energy Infrastructure assets; the majority of which was directed at major projects in the Eastern Hemisphere (EH) segment that are now in commercial operation. Additional expenditures were invested in the organic expansion of the USA contract compression fleet. At March 31, 2023, the USA contract compression fleet totaled approximately 403,000 horsepower and its average fleet utilization was a record 96 percent for the quarter. |
● | At March 31, 2023, the Companys senior secured net funded debt to EBITDA ratio was 1.0:1, compared to a maximum ratio of 2.5:1, and the Companys net funded debt to EBITDA (bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA) ratio was 2.9:1, compared to a maximum ratio of 4.5:1, according to the Companys debt covenants. |
● | On March 19, 2023, the Company announced that Mr. Sanjay Bishnoi, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will relinquish his position effective April 10, 2023, to pursue another opportunity. Following Mr. Bishnois departure, Mr. Matthew Lemieux, Enerflexs Vice President, Corporate Development and Treasury was appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer. Enerflex plans to appoint a permanent CFO in the coming months. |
● | Subsequent to March 31, 2023, Enerflex declared a quarterly dividend of $0.025 per share, payable on July 6, 2023, to shareholders of record on May 18, 2023. The Board of Directors (the Board) will continue to evaluate dividend payments on a quarterly basis, based on the availability of cash flow, anticipated market conditions, and the general needs of the business. |
Managements Discussion and Analysis | M-2 |
ADJUSTED EBITDA
The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before finance costs, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. The results include items that are unique and items that Management and users of the Financial Statements adjust for when evaluating results. The Company removes the impact of these items when calculating Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from EBIT or EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for measures prepared as determined under IFRS.
The adjustment of items that are unique or not in the normal course of continuing operations increases the comparability across items within the Financial Statements or between periods of financial statements. An example of items that are considered unique are transaction costs, while an example of items that increase comparability include share-based compensation which fluctuates based on share price that can be influenced based on items not directly relevant to the current period of operations of the Company. Items the Company have adjusted for in the past include, but are not limited to transaction costs; share-based compensation; severance costs associated with restructuring activities; government grants; impairments or gains on idle facilities; and impairment of goodwill. These items are either unique, non-recurring, or non-cash transactions, which are not indicative of the ongoing normal operations of the Company.
The Company also adjusts for the impact of finance leases. For finance leases, an upfront gain is recognized equal to the fair value of the equipment, or if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments at a market rate of interest. Subsequent to this initial recognition, financing income is recognized reflecting a constant rate of return on the outstanding lease receivable from the end customer. The Company believes that the inclusion of finance leases in its Adjusted EBITDA calculation provides a better understanding of Enerflexs cash generating capabilities and also improves comparability for similar energy infrastructure assets with different contract terms.

The Company has maintained the strong momentum generated in 2022 within its manufacturing business, recording bookings of $516.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Bookings in the first quarter of 2023 were the Companys largest quarterly bookings since the fourth quarter of 2018. The considerable increase in bookings from the same period in 2022 originate from the NAM segment from a variety of different customers, while the EH segment also saw an increase in bookings.
The Engineered Systems backlog of $1.5 billion at March 31, 2023 increased slightly from the backlog at December 31, 2022. The significant project bookings that were added to Enerflexs backlog has been offset by the drawdown of existing backlog that contributed to the significant Engineered Systems revenue recognized in the period, including the commencement of a previously announced finance lease project. The movement in exchange rates resulted in a decrease in foreign currency-denominated backlog of $3.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a decrease of $6.0 million in the same period of 2022.
The global demand for natural gas remains robust, and Enerflex is well positioned to expand its Engineered Systems business by serving the growing natural gas markets in the Companys key operating regions. However, continued volatility in commodity prices and recessionary fears could affect the Companys ability to secure future bookings.
SEGMENTED RESULTS
Enerflex has three reporting segments: North America, Latin America (LATAM) and Eastern Hemisphere, each of which are supported by Enerflexs corporate function. Corporate overheads are allocated to the operating segments based on revenue.

NAM recorded Engineered Systems bookings of $416.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, which is a considerable increase of $209.3 million compared to the same period last year. The increase is attributable to a large volume of bookings in both the USA and Canada across a large number of different customers. Increased bookings reflect improved activity levels in the energy sector in the USA and Canada, with sold margins continuing to increase on new bookings. The increase to bookings has led to a record-high backlog that will provide strong Engineered Systems revenue in the near term.
Revenue increased by $252.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period last year. The segment saw an increase in revenue for all product lines, most significantly in Engineered Systems, which saw elevated activity levels, on a stronger opening backlog and higher bookings. After-Market Services revenues increased on strong parts sales, inflationary price adjustments and an increased volume of work. Finally, Energy Infrastructure revenue was higher from increased contract compression utilizations, a larger fleet and inflationary price adjustments. Gross margin also increased during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to last year, which is attributable to higher revenues generated by all product lines, as well as improved margins on sold Engineered Systems projects.
SG&A was higher during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period last year, which is primarily due to SG&A to support the acquired Exterran business and restructuring, transaction, and integration costs.
NAM recorded a higher operating income during the three months ended March 31, 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was due to the increased gross margin on higher revenue, partially offset by the increase in SG&A.
At March 31, 2023, the USA contract compression fleet totaled approximately 403,000 horsepower. The average utilization of the USA contract compression fleet for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 96 percent, which is a significant increase from the 91 percent utilization in the comparative period last year, resulting from strengthening customer demand and improving market fundamentals.

Engineered Systems bookings were lower during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 by $14.7 million due to a larger project booked in 2022 that did not repeat. Enerflex continues to monitor potential projects in LATAM and is well positioned to capitalize on those opportunities should they proceed.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, LATAM revenues increased by $83.5 million when compared to the same period last year, primarily from the Energy Infrastructure product line as a result of its expanded contracted fleet that was acquired from Exterran, and which is poised to provide stability for the segment. After-Market Services revenues also increased, primarily from higher activity levels in Argentina. Engineered Systems revenue was slightly higher in the current period compared to the same period last year which was a result of a higher opening backlog. Total gross margins increased by $20.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period last year on higher overall revenues from increased activity and higher margins from contracted energy infrastructure units.
SG&A was higher during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period last year, which is primarily due to the SG&A to support the acquired Exterran business, foreign exchange losses due to the ongoing devaluation of the Argentine peso, and restructuring, transaction, and integration costs.
The LATAM segment had an operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to operating income in the same period of 2022. The decrease in operating income from last year is primarily the result of higher SG&A, partially offset by the increased gross margins due to increased activity levels.

The EH segment successfully commenced operations on a previously announced finance lease project during the first quarter of 2023 which is included in Engineered Systems revenue, and began contributing recurring revenue in the Energy Infrastructure product line. Enerflex also brought a build-own-operate-maintain produced water facility to commercial operation in the first quarter of 2023, the contracted revenues from which will begin contributing in the second quarter of 2023.
Bookings in the first quarter of 2023 increased to $91.5 million compared to $6.4 million in the comparable period. The year-over-year increase is due to the acquired backlog from Exterran, as well as an increase in scope on an in-flight project acquired from Exterran. EHs backlog significantly increased in the current period due to the increase in bookings outpacing revenue recognition, partially offset by the commencement of the finance lease project.
Revenue increased by $166.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period last year. Higher Engineered Systems revenue is due to revenue recognition on certain backlog acquired from Exterran as well as the commencement and recognition of a finance lease project during the current period. Energy Infrastructure revenue increased during the current period supported by acquired contracted units and existing finance lease assets. After-Market Services revenues increased from higher customer maintenance activities and parts sales in all regions. Gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were higher than the same period in 2022 primarily due to increased activity and higher margin Engineered Systems projects.
SG&A was higher during the three months ended March 31, 2023 when compared to the same period last year. This unfavourable variance is the result of SG&A to support the acquired Exterran business, and restructuring, transaction, and integration costs.
The EH segment reported a higher operating income during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to same period of 2022. The increase is a result of higher revenues, partially offset by higher SG&A.

GROSS MARGIN BY PRODUCT LINE
Each of Enerflexs regional business segments oversees the execution of all three product lines described above: Energy Infrastructure, After-Market Services and Engineered Systems.
The Company considers its Energy Infrastructure and After-Market Services product lines to be recurring in nature, given that revenues are typically contracted and extend into the future. The Company aims to diversify and expand Energy Infrastructure and After-Market Services offerings, which the Company believes offer longer-term stability in earnings compared to Engineered Systems revenue, which historically have been dependent on the cyclical demand for new compression, processing, and electric power equipment. While individual Energy Infrastructure and After-Market Services contracts are subject to cancellation or have varying lengths, the Company does not believe these characteristics preclude these product lines from being considered recurring in nature.
The components of each product lines gross margins are disclosed in the tables below.

INCOME TAXES
The Company had an income tax expense of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $3.6 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease in income tax expense in the current period is primarily due to the recognition of losses in foreign jurisdictions and the effects of exchange rates, partially offset by an increase in unrecognized deferred tax assets.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On January 31, 2022 the Local Labor Board of the State of Tabasco in Mexico (the Labor Board) awarded a former employee of Exterran MXN$2,152 million (CAD$149 million) in connection with a dispute relating to the employees severance pay following termination of his employment in 2015.
We believe the order of the Labor Board is in error and has no credible basis in law or fact. In 2017, the Labor Board ruled that the former employee was entitled to approximately MXN$1.4 million (approximately US$70,000 at the then prevailing exchange rate) as severance based on an appellate courts determination that the employees salary was approximately MXN$3,500 per day. However, the Labor Boards January 2022 order significantly increased the amount the employee is owed to approximately US$120 million, ignoring the actual salary that had been established by the appellate court and using an amount the former employee never actually received while working for Exterran.
Managements Discussion and Analysis | M-8 |
We have appealed the decision, and the appeal is pending before the First Collegiate Court of the Tenth Circuit in Labor Matters, in Villahermosa, Mexico. In the meantime, the Company is pursuing all available avenues to preserve its rights, and in Q1 filed a notice of intent with the Mexican government advising them of various potential investment treaty claims against the Mexican government should the Labor Boards order not be overturned or otherwise vacated.
The Company is involved in litigation and claims associated with normal operations against which certain provisions may be made in the Financial Statements. Management is of the opinion that any resulting settlement arising from the litigation would not materially affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.
ENERFLEX STRATEGY
Enerflexs Vision of Transforming Energy for a Sustainable Future is supported by a long-term strategy that is founded upon the following key pillars: technical excellence in modularized energy solutions; profitable growth achieved through vertically integrated and geographically diverse product offerings; financial strength and discipline; and sustainable returns to shareholders. Through consistent execution of this strategy and regular evaluation of the Companys capital allocation priorities and decisions, Enerflex has managed a resilient business to create shareholder value over its 40-plus-year history.
Enerflex delivers energy infrastructure and energy transition solutions across the globe by leveraging its enhanced presence in growing natural gas markets. The Companys vertically integrated suite of product offerings includes processing, cryogenic, compression, electric power, and produced water solutions, spanning all phases of a projects lifecycle, from front-end engineering and design to after-market service. Enerflex has proven expertise in delivering low-carbon solutions, including carbon capture utilization and storage, electrification, RNG, and hydrogen solutions, and works closely with its customers to enable global decarbonization efforts.
Enerflex will continue to build an increasingly resilient and sustainable business through its Energy Infrastructure and After-Market Services product lines over the long term, stabilizing cash flows and reducing cyclicality in the business.
OUTLOOK
The underlying macro drivers for Enerflexs business are robust, with the ongoing focus on global energy security and the growing need for low-emission natural gas resulting in significant demand for Enerflexs energy infrastructure and energy transition solutions.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Enerflexs strategic focus for 2023 is to maximize cash flow generation to strengthen the Companys financial position, including executing its $1.5 billion Engineered Systems backlog and realizing the benefits and synergies from the Transaction. The Company also plans to safely advance the modularized cryogenic natural gas processing facility in the Middle East.
Enerflex has now captured approximately US$50 million of the expected US$60 million of annual run-rate synergies associated with the Transaction, attained primarily through reductions in overhead. To optimize its global manufacturing footprint and increase operational efficiencies within the business, Enerflex plans to close its manufacturing facilities in the United Arab Emirates and Singapore in 2023. The Company is currently assessing the costs and synergies associated with the closures.
Enerflex continues to expect that it will reduce its bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio to below 2.5 times by the end of the year due to strong cash flow generation anticipated across all product lines. As at March 31, 2023, the Companys bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.9 times, according to the Companys debt covenants.
Once the Companys debt reduction target has been met, Enerflex anticipates it will have the optionality to deliver increased capital returns to shareholders and invest profitably in strategic growth projects. The Company expects to continue paying its quarterly dividend of at least $0.025 per share and will continue to be disciplined in its investments and discretionary spending to protect its financial position.
M-9 |
2023 GUIDANCE
Enerflex reaffirms its previously disclosed financial guidance for 2023, including its expectations that it will meet its debt reduction target by the end of the year, reflecting the Companys commitment to deleveraging and delivering on its near-term strategic objectives.
During the first quarter of 2023, Enerflex invested $51.0 million in growth capital expenditures, primarily to complete the two BOOM produced water projects that were being advanced in 2022. The total investments associated with the two projects were initially budgeted for 2022; however, the final expenditures were accounted for in the first quarter of 2023.

ENERGY TRANSITION
As the transition to a lower-carbon economy continues to unfold, Enerflex is collaborating with customers to advance projects that decarbonize and electrify operations and support infrastructure for renewable natural gas (RNG), biofuels, and new hydrogen solutions. In the USA, the roll-out of the Inflation Reduction Act has accelerated the development of numerous carbon capture projects, growing the opportunity set for Enerflex given its expertise in delivering modularized engineer-to-order process solutions. Enerflex also continues to evaluate carbon capture and other low-carbon solutions through piloting activities with a number of its Canadian customers.
Over the long term, Enerflex will continue to evaluate and create paths that will allow for participation in developing and growing markets, which is expected to shape the energy transition landscape of the next several decades.
Managements Discussion and Analysis | M-10 |
OUTLOOK BY SEGMENT
North America
Capital discipline continues to be at the forefront for North American upstream E&P companies, and 2023 capital expenditure guidance indicates that production will grow modestly year-over-year. In the USA, natural gas production growth is expected to be driven by the Haynesville, Marcellus, and Permian Basins. In Canada, the resolution of outstanding issues between the Blueberry River First Nations and the Government of British Columbia has provided clarity on future resource development in the province; however, the pace at which activity levels return to historical levels is still unknown. Over the medium term, the Company anticipates that future liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports associated with LNG Canada Phase 1 will be a positive tailwind for Enerflexs Canadian business.
Given the strong demand profile for natural gas and LNG exports in the USA, Enerflex anticipates that utilization rates for its contract compression fleet will remain elevated and that sold margins on new Engineered Systems bookings will continue to expand from current levels. The Exterran Cryogenic product line is also expected to be a synergistic revenue-generating business in the region. The Company expects that the recent increase in After-Market Services-related activities across the region continues through 2023, including overhaul and retrofitting activities.
Latin America
With its expanded Energy Infrastructure platform, Enerflex expects continued stability within its recurring businesses in Latin America and will continue to actively manage regional foreign currency exposures. In the near term, the Company is planning to increase its contract compression fleet utilization through re-contracting and redeployment of idle fleet to meet rising local demand. Over the longer term, many nations throughout the region have indicated a growing need for reliable power and a desire to reduce their overall dependency on imported natural gas, which Enerflex expects will be a constructive market driver for the Company.
Eastern Hemisphere
Enerflex continues to observe significant demand for larger-scale, long-term energy infrastructure assets and integrated turnkey (ITK) projects. Enerflexs near-term focus in the Middle East is strong operational execution and delivering cost improvements within existing operations, and the Company continues to explore new markets and opportunities requiring modular solutions to bolster cash flow stability in the region.
In Australia, a strong LNG export market, as well as recent legislation surrounding emissions-reduction targets for the nation, is expected to strengthen the demand for natural gas and energy transition solutions in the region.
M-11 |
NON-IFRS MEASURES
Enerflex measures its financial performance using several key financial performance indicators, some of which do not have standardized meanings as prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These non-IFRS measures are also used by Management in its assessment of relative investments in operations and include Engineered Systems bookings and backlog, recurring revenue, EBITDA, net debt to EBITDA ratio, and ROCE, and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or any other measure of performance under IFRS. The reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure is provided below where appropriate. Engineered Systems bookings and backlog do not have a directly comparable IFRS measure.

DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW
The Company defines distributable cash flow as cash provided by operating activities adjusted for the net change in working capital and other, less maintenance capital expenditures and lease payments. Distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies as it does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. Management uses this non-IFRS measure as a way to help users of the financial statements assess the level of free cash generated and to fund other non-operating activities such as capital expenditures, dividends and payments to creditors. The following tables reconciles distributable cash flow to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, cash provided by operating activities:

2If the Company were to add back the non-recurring restructuring, transaction, and integration costs of $17.8 million incurred in relation to the Exterran Transaction, distributable cash flow would be $73.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (March 31, 2022 $26.2 million).
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND EXPENDITURES FOR FINANCE LEASES
Enerflex distinguishes capital expenditures invested in energy infrastructure assets as either growth or maintenance. Growth expenditures are intended to expand the Companys energy infrastructure fleet, while maintenance expenditures are necessary costs to continue utilizing existing energy infrastructure assets. The Company also incurred costs related to the construction of energy infrastructure assets determined to be finance leases. These costs are accounted for as work-in-progress related to finance leases, and once the project is completed and enters service, it is reclassified to COGS. Capital expenditures and expenditures for finance leases are shown in the table below:

FINANCIAL POSITION
The following table outlines significant changes in the consolidated statements of financial position as at March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022:
($ millions) | Increase (Decrease) |
Explanation | ||
Current assets |
$(35.0) | The decrease in current assets is primarily due to the work-in-progress related to finance leases being transferred to COGS upon commencement of the project, and decreased prepayments due to activity levels, partially offset by higher inventories and cash and cash equivalents on increased activity levels. | ||
Contract assets |
$38.1 | The non-current portion of contract assets is from the increase in scope of an in-flight project acquired from Exterran. | ||
Finance leases receivable |
$43.8 | The increase in the long-term portion of finance leases receivable is due to the recognition of a 10-year natural gas infrastructure project in the Middle East that began operations during the current period. | ||
Other assets |
$(29.4) | The decrease in other assets is primarily due to the preferred shares that the Company previously held, and were settled during the period. | ||
Current liabilities |
$(32.1) | The decrease in current liabilities is primarily due to movements in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and deferred revenues driven by increased activity levels, partially offset by an increase in the non-current portion of long-term debt. | ||
Long-term debt |
$54.9 | The increase in long-term debt is primarily due to the increased drawings on the three-year secured revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility), partially offset by the recognition of deferred transaction costs. | ||
Total shareholders equity |
$10.6 | Total shareholders equity increased primarily due to net earnings of $13.5 million, and the impact of stock options, $0.2 million, offset by dividends of $3.1 million, and the impact of unrealized losses on the translation of foreign operations, less than $0.1 million. |
LIQUIDITY
The Company expects that cash flows from operations in 2023, together with cash and cash equivalents on hand and currently available credit facilities, will be more than sufficient to fund its requirements for investments in working capital, capital assets and delivering on its post-acquisition deleveraging strategy. As at March 31, 2023, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $262.4 million and had cash drawings of $727.5 million against the Revolving Credit Facility and the three-year secured term loan (Term Loan), leaving the Company with significant liquidity and access to $247.7 million for future drawings. The Company continues to meet the covenant requirements of its funded debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan and senior secured notes (the Notes), with a senior secured net funded debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.0:1, compared to a maximum ratio of 2.5:1, and a bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.9:1, compared to a maximum ratio of 4.5:1. The Company finished the quarter with an interest coverage ratio of 4.5:1 compared to a minimum ratio of 2.5:1. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the trailing 12-month EBITDA, as defined by the Companys lenders, by interest expense over the same timeframe.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash provided by operating activities was higher than the comparative period, primarily driven by higher net earnings and the net changes in working capital. Movements in the net change in working capital are explained in the Financial Position section of this MD&A.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is higher when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the increased capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and energy infrastructure assets, offset by higher proceeds on the disposal of certain energy infrastructure assets.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Cash provided by financing activities is higher for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period last year primarily due to the net proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility.

RESPONSIBILITY OF MANAGEMENT AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Management is responsible for the information disclosed in this MD&A and the accompanying Financial Statements, and has in place appropriate information systems, procedures, and controls to ensure that information used internally by Management and disclosed externally is materially complete and reliable. In addition, the Companys Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board, provides an oversight role with respect to all public financial disclosures made by the Company, and has reviewed and approved this MD&A and the Financial Statements.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, together with other members of Management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys DC&P and ICFR as at March 31, 2023, using the internal control integrated framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on that evaluation, Management has concluded that the design and operation of the Companys DC&P were adequate and effective as at March 31, 2023, to provide reasonable assurance that: a) material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would have been known to them and by others within those entities; and b) information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within required time periods. Management also concluded that the design and operation of ICFR was adequate and effective as at March 31, 2023, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reporting in accordance with IFRS.
There have been no significant changes in the design of the Companys ICFR during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that would materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys ICFR.
