Enerflex (NYSE: EFXT) has released its preliminary outlook for 2025, highlighting three key priorities: enhancing core operations profitability, leveraging its position to capitalize on natural gas and produced water volumes growth, and maximizing free cash flow. The company expects its Energy Infrastructure and After-Market Services to generate approximately 65% of gross margin before depreciation and amortization.

The Energy Infrastructure product line has contracts expected to generate $1.5 billion in revenue during their current terms. The Engineered Systems division carries a backlog of approximately $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2024, with most revenue conversion expected within 12 months. The company plans capital expenditures of $110-130 million for 2025, including $70 million for maintenance and PP&E.

L’azienda prevede che il suo Settore delle Infrastrutture Energetiche e Servizi Post-Vendita genererà circa il 65% del margine lordo prima delle svalutazioni e degli ammortamenti.

Positive


  • Energy Infrastructure contracts expected to generate $1.5 billion in revenue

  • Strong Engineered Systems backlog of $1.3 billion

  • 65% of gross margin expected from recurring revenue streams

  • Strong fundamentals for contract compression in U.S. market

Insights


The preliminary 2025 outlook reveals strong fundamental positioning with 65% of gross margin expected from highly contracted and recurring revenue streams – a important stability factor. The $1.5 billion contracted revenue in Energy Infrastructure and $1.3 billion Engineered Systems backlog provide excellent revenue visibility for the next 12-24 months.

The capital expenditure guidance of $110-130 million shows disciplined capital allocation, with $70 million earmarked for maintenance. This conservative approach to growth spending, focused on customer-backed opportunities in key markets, suggests strong free cash flow potential for 2025. The emphasis on U.S. contract compression amid rising Permian gas production indicates targeted growth in high-return segments.

The combination of contracted revenues, significant backlog and disciplined capital spending positions Enerflex well for steady operational performance and potential deleveraging in 2025. For retail investors, this presents a relatively lower-risk exposure to natural gas infrastructure growth, particularly in the robust U.S. market.

The outlook aligns perfectly with broader industry trends in natural gas infrastructure. The focus on produced water handling and natural gas compression services in the Permian Basin is particularly strategic, as this region is projected to drive significant U.S. natural gas production growth through 2025-2026.

The company’s geographic diversification between U.S. and Middle East operations provides exposure to two of the most resilient energy markets globally. The high proportion of contracted revenues offers downside protection against potential market volatility, while maintaining upside exposure to growing natural gas demand.

Key competitive advantages emerge from Enerflex’s established market position and ability to secure long-term contracts, evidenced by the substantial $1.5 billion contracted revenue base. This positions the company favorably against peers who may lack similar scale or contract security.












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.
