Enerflex Ltd. Provides Preliminary Outlook for 2025 and Confirms Timing of Fourth Quarter Release

CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enerflex Ltd. (TSX: EFX) (NYSE: EFXT) (“Enerflex” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide its preliminary outlook for 2025.

All amounts presented are in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) unless otherwise stated.

Outlook

During 2025, Enerflex’s priorities include: (1) enhancing the profitability of core operations; (2) leveraging the Company’s leading position in core operating countries to capitalize on expected increases in natural gas and produced water volumes; and (3) maximizing free cash flow to strengthen Enerflex’s financial position, provide direct shareholder returns, and invest in selective customer supported growth opportunities.

Enerflex’s preliminary outlook for 2025 reflects steady demand across its business lines and geographic regions. Operating results will be underpinned by the highly contracted Energy Infrastructure (“EI”) product line and the recurring nature of After-Market Services, which together are expected to account for approximately 65% of our gross margin before depreciation and amortization. Enerflex’s EI product line is supported by customer contracts, which are expected to generate approximately $1.5 billion of revenue during their current terms.

Complementing Enerflex's recurring revenue businesses is the Engineered Systems (“ES”) product line, which carried a backlog of approximately $1.3 billion as at December 31, 2024, the majority of which is expected to convert into revenue over the next 12 months. Near-term revenue for this business line is expected to remain steady and the medium-term outlook for ES products and services continues to be attractive, driven by expected increases in natural gas and produced water volumes across Enerflex’s global footprint.

Enerflex is targeting a disciplined capital program in 2025, with total capital expenditures of $110 million to $130 million. This includes a total of approximately $70 million for maintenance and PP&E capital expenditures. Similar to 2024, disciplined capital spending will focus on customer supported opportunities in the U.S. and Middle East. Notably, the fundamentals for contract compression in the U.S. remain strong, led by expected increases in natural gas production in the Permian and capital spending discipline from market participants. Enerflex will continue to make selective customer supported growth investments in this business.
