MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
Paul Mahoney, Enerflex’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated: “Strong fourth quarter operational and financial results cap off an excellent year for Enerflex, a testament to the resilience, commitment, and deep knowledge of our global team. The Energy Infrastructure and After-Market Services business lines continue to be the foundation of our results and contributed 65% of our gross margin before depreciation and amortization during 2025, consistent with our initial guidance. The Engineered Systems business line continued to demonstrate strong project execution and visibility for this business line remains solid, supported by a $1.1 billion backlog at the end of Q4/25 and healthy bidding prospects.
Over the course of 2025, we continued to advance our business and took meaningful steps to enhance long-term shareholder value. While there remains important work ahead to fully realize our ambitions, I am encouraged by the momentum across our global operations and am confident in our ability to build on this foundation during 2026.”
Mr. Mahoney added, “I would like to thank our strong team in the APAC region for their commitment to Enerflex and their contributions as we built a leading AMS business in the APAC region. The accretive divestiture announced today underscores Enerflex’s commitment to simplifying and optimizing our operations while sharpening our focus on our core regions of North America, Latin America, and the Middle East. Enerflex and INNIO share a long-standing global relationship, including Enerflex’s role as a channel partner across our core regions, and we look forward to building on this partnership.”
Preet Dhindsa, Enerflex's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added: “Enerflex generated record free cash flow in the fourth quarter, with capital allocation continuing to balance disciplined growth, direct shareholder returns, and enhancements to our financial flexibility. Enerflex’s bank adjusted leverage ratio declined to approximately 1.0x at the end of Q4/25 and we further solidified our financial position with a successful refinancing of our high yield notes. We remain focused on enhancing profitability of our core operations, growing our business in a disciplined and structured way, and ensuring Enerflex generates sustained, attractive returns for shareholders.”

OUTLOOK
Enerflex’s preliminary outlook for 2026 reflects steady demand across its business lines and geographic regions. Operating results will continue to be underpinned by the highly contracted Energy Infrastructure (“EI”) product line and the recurring nature of After Market Services (“AMS”). The EI product line is supported by customer contracts expected to generate approximately $1.3 billion of revenue over their remaining terms.
Performance for Enerflex's Engineered Systems (“ES”) product line is expected to remain steady, supported by a backlog of approximately $1.1 billion as at December 31, 2025, the majority of which is expected to convert into revenue over the next 12 months. The medium-term outlook for ES products and services continues to be attractive, driven by expected increases in natural gas and electric power generation across Enerflex’s core operating countries.
Enerflex’s priorities in 2026 include:
Capital Allocation
Enerflex is targeting organic capital expenditures of $175 million to $195 million during 2026. This includes: (1) organic growth capital expenditures of $90 million to $100 million; (2) maintenance capital expenditures of $70 million to $80 million; and (3) PP&E and infrastructure investments of approximately $15 million to support the Company’s ES business and activity in adjacent markets, including electric power generation.
Organic growth capital spending will continue to focus on customer supported opportunities and primarily allocated to expand the Company’s contract compression fleet in the U.S. Notably, the fundamentals for contract compression in the U.S. remain strong, led by expected increases in natural gas production and capital spending discipline from market participants. Although not contemplated in the Company’s 2026 capital spending plan, Enerflex continues to evaluate opportunities to organically expand its business in the Middle East.
Providing meaningful direct shareholder returns is a priority for Enerflex. During 2025, Enerflex returned $40 million to shareholders through dividend ($17 million) and share repurchases ($23 million). Going forward, capital allocation decisions will be based on delivering value to Enerflex shareholders and measured against Enerflex’s ability to maintain balance sheet strength. In addition to disciplined growth capital spending, share repurchases and dividends, Enerflex will also consider further debt reduction to strengthen its balance sheet and lower net finance costs.
DIVIDEND DECLARATION
Enerflex is committed to paying a sustainable quarterly cash dividend to shareholders. The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of CAD$0.0425 per share, payable on March 25, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 11, 2026.

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 net debt-to-EBITDA ratio, ES backlog and bookings, EI contract backlog, free cash flow, GM before depreciation and amortization and bank-adjusted net debt-to-EBITDA ratio. 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, non-IFRS measures should not be considered more meaningful than generally accepted accounting principles measures as indicators of Enerflex’s performance. Refer to “Non-IFRS Measures” of Enerflex’s MD&A for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, for information which is incorporated by reference into this news release and can be accessed on Enerflex’s website at www.enerflex.com and under the electronic profile of the Company on SEDAR+ and EDGAR at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov/edgar, respectively.

FREE CASH FLOW
The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less total capital expenditures (growth and maintenance) for EI assets - operating leases and PP&E, mandatory debt repayments, and lease payments, while proceeds on disposals of PP&E and EI assets - operating leases are added back. Free 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 to assess the level of free cash generated to fund other non-operating activities. These activities could include dividend payments, share repurchases, and non-mandatory debt repayments. Free cash flow is also used in calculating the dividend payout ratio.

BANK-ADJUSTED NET DEBT-TO-EBITDA RATIO
Enerflex defines bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (“RCF”) and Notes less cash and cash equivalents, divided by EBITDA for the trailing 12-months, as defined by the Company’s lenders. In assessing the Company's compliance with financial covenants related to its debt, certain adjustments are made to 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.
GROSS MARGIN BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Gross margin before depreciation and amortization is a non-IFRS measure defined as gross margin excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization. The historical costs of assets may differ if they were acquired through acquisition or constructed, resulting in differing depreciation. Gross margin before depreciation and amortization is useful to present operating performance of the business before the impact of depreciation and amortization that may not be comparable across assets.
