ENERFLEX LTD. REPORTS STRONG SECOND-QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS

NEWS RELEASE

CALGARY, Alberta, August 9, 2023 — Enerflex Ltd. (TSX: EFX) (NYSE: EFXT) (“Enerflex” or the “Company”) today reported its financial and operational results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. All amounts are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

“Enerflex’s solid second-quarter 2023 operational results underscore the sustainability of our three core business lines being executed on a global scale. The two business lines that comprise our recurring revenues, Energy Infrastructure and After-market Services, both expanded their margins compared to the first quarter of 2023. Our Engineered Systems business line booked an additional $322 million in new orders in the quarter, including several energy transition-related initiatives, resulting in a backlog of $1.4 billion,” said Marc Rossiter, Enerflex’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This quarter represents the second full quarter of Enerflex’s operations as a combined global business following the acquisition of Exterran, with synergy capture and operations tracking to plan. We are hard at work executing the global backlog and operating our assets at high levels of utilization, while simultaneously restructuring and streamlining our operations and systems to establish a sustainable, profitable enterprise. We remain focused on reducing our overall leverage and continue to expect our bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio to be 2.5 times at year-end.”

OVERVIEW

Enerflex reported solid Q2/2023 financial results that included revenue of $777 million and a gross margin of $147 million or 18.9% of revenue. Revenue generation was strong across all segments compared to Q1/2023. The Eastern Hemisphere segment revenue decreased from Q1/2023 due to non-cash finance lease revenue recorded in Q1/2023.

The Company continues to focus on expanding gross margins and reducing overall costs. Through YTD 2023, the After-market Services gross margin percentage has increased by over 500 basis points from YTD 2022, and the Engineered Systems gross margin percentage is up 400 basis points over the same time frame.

Enerflex delivered $142 million of adjusted earnings before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”)⁽¹⁾ in Q2/2023, compared to $123 million in Q1/2023 as a result of strong business performance and an expanded Energy Infrastructure portfolio.

Enerflex executed on a $32 million capital expenditure program in Q2/2023, with approximately $12 million of growth capital expenditures directed at customer-sanctioned Energy Infrastructure projects. Enerflex continues to prioritize a conservative balance sheet and absolute debt reduction.

Total long-term debt decreased by $50 million during Q2/2023; however, net debt increased by $38 million from the end of Q1/2023 primarily due to an increase in net working capital associated with the growth of the After-market Services business in North America and the timing of cash flows in the Engineered Systems business. Enerflex’s bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.8 times⁽²⁾ as at June 30, 2023.

Enerflex is reaffirming its full-year 2023 financial guidance for adjusted EBITDA, bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio, and synergies. Guidance for expected growth capital expenditures is being introduced, and guidance for the Company’s non-discretionary expenses is being updated to account for higher anticipated net working capital levels as the business grows, and higher estimated cash taxes in 2023.

Enerflex is just over nine months into the integration of Exterran Corporation (“Exterran”) and continues to actively integrate and streamline its global operations. As previously announced, Enerflex plans to consolidate its global manufacturing capacity from five facilities to three. This, in addition to other activities aimed at reducing costs and focusing Enerflex’s efforts on the best possible regions and assets, will reduce the Company’s long-term cost structure.

Q2/2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Enerflex generated $777 million of revenue in Q2/2023, with continued strong performance from recurring businesses and North American Engineered Systems. The Eastern Hemisphere segment revenue decreased relative to Q1/2023 due to $64 million in non-cash finance lease revenue recorded in Q1/2023.

Gross margin in Q2/2023 totalled $147 million, or 18.9% of revenue, compared to $161 million, or 19.5% of revenue, in Q1/2023.

Gross margins for Energy Infrastructure and After-market Services strengthened to 33.0% and 20.0%, respectively, from Q1/2023 levels of 30.5% and 18.5%, respectively.

The gross margin for Engineered Systems decreased to 12.4% from 15.5% in Q1/2023, reflecting the impact of delays on certain in-flight projects.



		Q2 2023 Earnings News Release \| 2

Enerflex’s gross margin for YTD 2023 was $308 million or 19.2% as a percentage of revenue, up from $117 million and 16.9% during YTD 2022, respectively, reflecting the higher proportion of Enerflex’s business that is considered recurring, coupled with continued improvement in the Company’s Engineered Systems margin profile.

SG&A of $100 million included Transaction and business optimization costs of $10 million, and $12 million of foreign exchange losses due to the devaluation of the Argentine peso. The SG&A improvement relative to Q1/2023 was driven by the recovery of a $12 million bad debt receivable collected in Q2/2023. Enerflex partially offset its foreign exchange losses with $8 million of interest income from associated instruments, which is included in the Company’s net finance costs.

Q2/2023 adjusted EBITDA was $142 million compared to $123 million in Q1/2023 as a result of strong business performance and an expanded Energy Infrastructure portfolio. YTD 2023 adjusted EBITDA was $265 million compared to $83 million in YTD 2022.

Enerflex recognized a net loss of $3 million compared to net earnings of $14 million in Q1/2023. A lower gross margin and higher income taxes offset lower SG&A. For YTD 2023, Enerflex recognized net earnings of $11 million, representing a decrease of $2 million from YTD 2022. The Company’s higher gross margin was offset by higher net finance costs and increased SG&A due to one-time Transaction, restructuring, and integration costs as the Company optimizes its go-forward business following the acquisition of Exterran.

Engineered Systems bookings totalled $322 million in Q2/2023, enabling Enerflex to maintain a significant backlog balance of $1.4 billion at June 30, 2023. YTD 2023 bookings of $839 million increased by 52% over YTD 2022 bookings, reflecting continued momentum in customer activity levels in North America and expanded product offerings resulting from the Transaction.

Enerflex secured approximately $80 million of bookings in Q2/2023 for two large cryogenic natural gas processing facilities in North America.

Approximately $120 million of Q2/2023 bookings were for electric compression units, which will significantly reduce the environmental impact of customer operations. Enerflex secured an additional $20 million of carbon capture and sequestration-related bookings in the period and continues collaborating with customers to advance various other energy transition projects. This brings total energy transition-related bookings to $235 million for YTD 2023.

At June 30, 2023, Enerflex’s long-term debt and net debt balances were $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, and the bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.8 times, compared to 2.9 times at the end of Q1/2023 and 3.3 times at the end of Q4/2022.

Long-term debt decreased by $50 million during Q2/2023; however, net debt increased by $38 million from the end of Q1/2023 primarily due to an increase in net working capital associated with the growth of the After-market Services business in North America and the timing of cash flows in the Engineered Systems business.

Enerflex continues to expect that it will reduce its bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio to 2.5 times by the end of 2023 through solid cash flow generation and the execution of its $1.4 billion Engineered Systems backlog.

RETURNS TO SHAREHOLDERS

•

Enerflex is committed to delivering a sustainable quarterly dividend to shareholders. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company declared dividends of $3 million ($0.025 per share) and $6 million ($0.05 per share), respectively.

•

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) has declared a dividend of $0.025 per share for Q3/2023, payable on October 12, 2023, to shareholders of record on August 24, 2023.

(1)	Comparative figures do not reflect pre-acquisition historical data from Exterran.

Enerflex invested $13 million in Q2/2023 in maintenance capital expenditures that were directed at the contract compression fleets in the USA and Latin America. Enerflex invested an additional $12 million in growth capital expenditures for various small customer-sanctioned projects in the USA, Latin America, and Eastern Hemisphere.

During YTD 2023, the Company invested $94 million in total capital expenditures, which included $21 million in maintenance capital expenditures across its contract compression fleets in the USA and Latin America. Enerflex also invested $63 million in growth capital expenditures, the majority of which occurred in Q1/2023 and related to the completion of two build-own-operate-maintain (“BOOM”) produced water projects in the Middle East.

OUTLOOK

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

Enerflex’s primary focus for 2023 is to progress the integration of Exterran and strengthen its financial position. Once its debt reduction target has been met, Enerflex plans to continue strengthening its financial position to ensure the Company has financial stability and flexibility through industry cycles. By reducing its long-term debt requirements and optimizing debt service costs, Enerflex expects to lower its overall cost of debt, thereby accruing incremental value to Enerflex shareholders.

INTEGRATION OF EXTERRAN CORPORATION

Enerflex is progressing the integration of Exterran to become a more resilient and profitable business. Since closing the Transaction, Enerflex has captured approximately US$50 million of annual run-rate synergies and expects to realize the total US$60 million of anticipated synergies within 12 to 18 months from Transaction close of October 13, 2022.

To further optimize its global operations and shape the business for long-term success, Enerflex will incur one-time restructuring and optimization costs as such opportunities are identified. This includes costs associated with the closing of Enerflex’s manufacturing facilities in the United Arab Emirates and Singapore and the Company’s plans to simplify its geographic footprint.

2023 GUIDANCE

Enerflex is reaffirming its full-year 2023 financial guidance for adjusted EBITDA, bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio, annual run-rate synergies, maintenance capital expenditures, and expenditures related to the modularized cryogenic natural gas processing facility (the “Cryogenic Facility”) that is being advanced in the Middle East.

To reflect YTD 2023 activity and the Company’s expectations for the balance of the year, Enerflex is introducing guidance for PP&E and growth capital expenditures and revising its guidance for “other non-discretionary expenses”.

(6)	Includes maintenance capital expenditures and contract assets related to the Cryogenic Facility, net working capital, finance costs, cash income taxes, and dividends.

(7)

Enerflex is introducing guidance for PP&E and growth capital expenditures to reflect activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the Company’s expectations for the balance of the year. These expenditures were considered in assessing the Company’s ability to meet its bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio target.

Enerflex anticipates that total 2023 PP&E and growth capital expenditures will range from US$80 million to US$90 million, approximately half of which is for the completion of two BOOM produced water projects that were originally anticipated in 2022 but were largely recognized in Q1/2023. In addition, Enerflex plans to complete required upgrades on several facilities acquired through the Transaction, and invest in various small-scale, customer-sanctioned projects in the USA, Latin America, and Eastern Hemisphere.

Enerflex is revising its guidance for its other non-discretionary expenses to a range of US$180 million to US$210 million from a range of US$130 million to US$160 million, primarily due to the increase in working capital associated with higher activity levels in Enerflex’s After-market Services and Engineered Systems businesses, as well as higher expected cash taxes in 2023.

As the Company focuses on actively integrating Exterran while concurrently executing its growing business, Enerflex expects that increased 2023 expenditures will impact the near-term timing of cash flows. As a result of increased net working capital due to the growth in business activity and increased taxes, the Company now anticipates 2023 Transaction-related accretion for both earnings per share (“EPS”) and cash flow per share (“CFPS”) to be 32% dilutive and 1% accretive, respectively (both previously 20% accretive) this year. The Company has reviewed its disclosure in respect of 2023 Transaction-related accretion for both EPS and CFPS and has decided to discontinue this disclosure. Accordingly, the Company is withdrawing its 2023 guidance for these measures and will not be providing any further updates regarding such financial metrics.

MARKET OUTLOOK

The long-term fundamentals for natural gas are robust, given its critical role in supporting global decarbonization efforts and future economic growth. Enerflex is poised to capitalize on the growing demand for low-carbon solutions through its vertically integrated natural gas and energy transition offerings.

Enerflex strategically expanded its recurring Energy Infrastructure and After-market Services product lines to underpin the Company’s financial performance. In Q2/2023, these two recurring businesses contributed approximately 65% of the Company’s gross margin. Over the long term:

Enerflex’s large platform of international Energy Infrastructure assets is expected to continue serving the growing need for reliable power and energy independence; and

Enerflex’s USA contract compression fleet utilization is expected to remain elevated, given ongoing strength in customer demand.



		Q2 2023 Earnings News Release \| 5

Complementing Enerflex’s recurring businesses is the Engineered Systems product line, which carries a backlog of $1.4 billion that the Company expects to convert into revenue through the balance of 2023 and 2024.

While rig counts have been decreasing in the USA in response to near-term weakness in natural gas prices, most of Enerflex’s new bookings continue to serve the Permian Basin, where rig counts remain relatively high. Enerflex is also diversifying its backlog composition by securing several larger cryogenic natural gas processing projects.

In Canada, Enerflex’s market outlook is constructive following the initial agreement on future resource development between Blueberry River First Nations and the Government of British Columbia, coupled with increasing activity for eventual liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) exports.

NORTH AMERICA

North America continues to be Enerflex’s largest and best-performing segment, with strong financial performance reinforced by sustained customer activity levels across all product lines. Revenue of $479 million increased by 3% compared to Q1/2023, driven by higher revenue generated by the Engineered Systems and Energy Infrastructure product lines.

YTD 2023 revenue of $945 million increased by 96% from YTD 2022, attributed to a nearly $400 million year-over-year increase in Engineered Systems revenue, strong utilizations on the USA contract compression fleet, and a higher volume of work within the After-market Services business.

Enerflex secured $307 million of Engineered Systems bookings in Q2/2023, comprising approximately 90% of projects from the USA and 10% from Canada. The North American Engineered Systems backlog currently makes up almost 80% of the Company’s $1.4 billion balance.



		Q2 2023 Earnings News Release \| 6

2023 YTD bookings of $723 million are 37% higher than YTD 2022, reflecting strong customer activity and new bookings for Enerflex’s broader product offerings stemming from the Transaction.

The average utilization rate for the USA contract compression fleet was 96% during Q2/2023 on 404,000 horsepower, compared to 96% in Q1/2023 and 94% in Q2/2022.

LATIN AMERICA

Solid operational performance from Enerflex’s expanded fleet of Energy Infrastructure assets and robust After-market Services activity drove revenue of $115 million in Latin America, unchanged from Q1/2023.

Enerflex will continue optimizing its Latin American Energy Infrastructure business by re-deploying idle units to meet rising local demand, thereby enhancing the region’s profitability and recurring cash flows over the long term.

Enerflex is anticipating ongoing exposure to the devaluation of the Argentine peso, recording foreign exchange losses of $12 million in Q2/2023 and $24 million in YTD 2023. Enerflex partially offset its foreign exchange losses with interest income from associated instruments of $8 million in Q2/2023 and $16 million in YTD 2023, which is included in the Company’s net finance costs.

EASTERN HEMISPHERE

Q2/2023 revenue of $182 million was 25% lower than the prior quarter, primarily due to $64 million in non-cash finance lease revenue recognized in Q1/2023. Q2/2023 Energy Infrastructure revenue included contracted revenues from the two infrastructure projects that were brought to commercial operation in Q1/2023.

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 operating income, EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, net debt, net debt to EBITDA ratio, bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio, ROCE, and Engineered Systems bookings and backlog. 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 Enerflex’s performance. Refer to “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Non-IFRS Measures” of Enerflex’s MD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, information from which is incorporated by reference into this news release and can be accessed on Enerflex’s website at www.enerflex.com and under Enerflex’s SEDAR+ and EDGAR profiles at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov/edgar, respectively.

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 Company’s 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 reflects the results generated by the Company’s 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 reflects the results generated by the Company’s 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.

ADJUSTED EBITDA

Enerflex’s results include items that are unique and items that Management and users of the financial statements adjust for when evaluating the Company’s 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 transaction, restructuring, and integration costs, share-based compensation, and certain other items, which the Company does not consider to be in the normal course of continuing operations. Adjustments are also made with respect to finance leases to eliminate the non-cash selling profit recognized when finance leases are put into service, and instead reflect the lease payments received over the term of the related lease. Management believes that identification of these items allows for a better understanding of the underlying operations of the Company and increases comparability of the Company’s results. Items the Company has previously considered are government grants, impairments or gains on disposal of idle facilities, and impairment of goodwill, which are considered to be unique, non-recurring, and generally 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.

DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW

The Company defines distributable cash flow as cash provided by or used in 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 such cash flows to fund payments to creditors, dividends, and capital expenditures.

BANK-ADJUSTED NET DEBT TO EBITDA RATIO

The Company defines net debt as short- and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents at period end, which is then divided by EBITDA for the trailing 12 months. In assessing whether the Company is compliant with the financial covenants related to its debt instruments, certain adjustments are made to net debt and EBITDA to determine Enerflex’s bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio. These adjustments and Enerflex’s bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio are calculated in accordance with, and derived from, the Company’s financing agreements.

ROCE

ROCE is a measure that analyzes the operating performance and efficiency of the Company’s capital allocation decisions. The ratio is calculated by dividing EBIT for the trailing 12 months by capital employed, which is debt and equity less cash and cash equivalents for the trailing four quarters.

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 Company’s backlog in the period, while revenue recognized on Engineered Systems products decreases the backlog in the period that the revenue is recognized. Backlog is an indication of revenue to be recognized in future periods using percentage-of-completion accounting. Revenue from contracts classified as finance leases for newly built equipment is recorded as Engineered Systems bookings. The total amount of revenue is removed from backlog at the commencement of the lease.
