Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Enerflex is one of the leading suppliers of natural gas compression infrastructure within the USA, Canada, Latin America, and the Middle East, managing a global fleet of approximately 1.6 million horsepower as of December 31, 2025.
Contract Compression
Enerflex’s contract compression fleet of low- to high-horsepower packages are typically used in natural gas gathering systems, gas-lift, wellhead, and other applications primarily in connection with natural gas, NGLs, and oil production, and are made available to client partners on a contracted basis. When Enerflex enters a contract compression arrangement with a client partner, the initial term of the commitment generally ranges between one to five years, however, in some cases, initial terms or extensions to initial terms can result in arrangements of greater than ten years. These contracts typically require Enerflex to provide all the engineering, design, and installation services to bring the equipment online, and may require Enerflex to make a significant investment in equipment, facilities, and related installation costs. Client partners generally pay a monthly service fee even during periods of limited or disrupted production, which enhances the stability and predictability of Enerflex’s cash flows. Additionally, Enerflex does not have direct exposure to the fluctuations in commodity prices since Enerflex provides an up-time guarantee and does not take title to the hydrocarbon being compressed, processed, or treated.
The demand for Enerflex’s products and services is driven by production of natural gas and crude oil, where compression is typically required to move produced volumes from the wellhead and through gathering systems. In addition, compression can also improve performance in maturing fields.
Build-Own-Operate-Maintain Solutions
Enerflex leverages its extensive expertise in engineering, designing, manufacturing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining natural gas compression, processing, and treated water infrastructure solutions on a Build-Own-Operate-Maintain (BOOM) basis. Enerflex’s BOOM model provides clients with an operational partnership that mitigates risk while keeping objectives aligned. Through this model, Enerflex handles all phases of a project, including the upfront cost of, and responsibility for, construction and commissioning, ensuring quality, safety, and reliability are consistent through the project life. Clients then pay Enerflex a monthly fee to benefit from world-class facilities, without the challenges typically posed by ownership, operations, and maintenance. Enerflex’s success with BOOM projects stems from its collaborative approach to delivering reliable solutions with reduced risk for its partners.
After-Market Services
Enerflex’s AMS product line, with operations in 14 countries, delivers comprehensive mechanical services to client partners, including parts distribution; compression retrofits; operations and maintenance solutions; equipment optimization and maintenance programs; manufacturer warranties; exchange components; long-term service agreements; and technical services. Utilizing an extensive network, AMS primarily operates at client partner locations through trained technicians and mechanics. Enerflex’s AMS business includes distribution and remanufacturing facilities, with significant presence in active natural gas producing areas.

CYCLES AND SEASONALITY
While demand for Enerflex's products and services is largely a function of the supply, demand, and price of natural gas and other commodities, other factors may affect the business, either positively or negatively. See “Risk Factors”.
Natural gas prices are determined by supply, demand, and government regulations relating to natural gas production and processing. The market for capital goods used by natural gas producers is cyclical and, at times, highly volatile. Enerflex is structured to be profitable in both high and low periods of the energy cycle due to the recurring nature of its EI and AMS business, product line breadth, international diversification, and flexible workforce.
In the ES business, the energy service sector in Canada and in northern USA has historically shown some seasonal trends in activity levels, resulting from well-site access and drilling pattern adjustments to take advantage of weather conditions, however, sustained strength in Enerflex’s ES bookings reflects consistent client activity levels, independent of seasonal trends. Rather than predictable seasonal cycles, ES operations are primarily influenced by client demand and project execution timelines, which vary based on market dynamics and customer behavior. While quarterly activity levels may show marginal differences, these are driven by operational timing and customer-specific factors, not recurring seasonal patterns. Any seasonal fluctuations do not have a material impact on the financial performance or position of the Company.
ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had no individual client partner which accounted for more than 10 per cent of its revenue. Enerflex is committed to building strong relationships with suppliers and recognizes that success is achieved by fostering trust and respect between the parties. Enerflex has developed effective, competitive bidding processes to provide opportunities for new and existing suppliers. Enerflex is not substantially dependent on any single supplier.
CHANGES TO CONTRACTS
No aspect of the Company’s business is reasonably expected to be materially affected by renegotiation or termination of contracts or sub-contracts.
EMPLOYEES
Enerflex had approximately 4,400 active employees worldwide as at December 31, 2025.
ES BACKLOG AND BOOKINGS
This section contains references to the terms “ES backlog and bookings” and “EI contract backlog”, which do not have standardized meanings as prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be
16
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. See “Non-IFRS Measures”. Additional disclosures regarding these non-IFRS measures are provided in the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is available on Enerflex’s website and under the electronic profile of the Company on SEDAR+ and EDGAR, and are incorporated by reference in this AIF.
ES Backlog and Bookings
Enerflex monitors its ES backlog and bookings as indicators of future revenue generation and business activity levels for the ES product line. ES bookings are recorded in the period when a firm commitment or order is received from clients. Bookings increase backlog in the period they are received, while revenue recognized on ES projects decrease backlog in the period the revenue is recognized. Accordingly, ES backlog is an indication of revenue to be recognized in future periods. In the event a project is cancelled, the remaining contract price associated with the unsatisfied performance obligation is derecognized from the backlog. ES backlog represents unsatisfied performance obligations related to the ES product line. Further information on recognition of revenue from the ES backlog is included in Note 22 “Revenue” of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Revenue from contracts that have been classified as finance leases for newly built equipment is recorded as ES bookings. The full amount of revenue is removed from backlog at commencement of the lease.
ES backlog of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2025, declined slightly from the 8-quarter average ES backlog of approximately $1.2 billion reflecting revenue recognized on the Bisat-C Expansion Facility in the Eastern Hemisphere region and revenue recognition on ES projects in the North America region. This sustained level of backlog over a two-year period reflects stable demand for Enerflex’s ES solutions across global energy infrastructure markets. The 8-quarter average also serves as a key indicator of operational consistency and revenue visibility, smoothing out short-term fluctuations in ES bookings and project timings. This trend demonstrates that the ES product line continues to benefit from a diversified portfolio of gas compression and processing projects, reinforcing management's confidence in the ES product line’s ability to generate predictable revenue and margin performance in the near-term.
Enerflex recorded ES bookings of $377 million during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $301 million during the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to higher bookings in NAM and reversal of the remaining backlog associated with an international ES project which impacted ES bookings for the three months ended December 31, 2024. ES bookings have remained above the 8-quarter average of $336 million, reflecting continued strong bookings in the North America region. Enerflex recorded ES bookings of $1.3 billion during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.4 billion during the same period of 2024, primarily due to bookings for the Bisat-C Expansion Facility in the first half of 2024.
The ES product line has realized a book-to-bill ratio (calculated as bookings divided by revenue) of 1.1x during the fourth quarter of 2025, indicating that new bookings are keeping pace with revenue recognition. The current balance between bookings and revenue supports near-term revenue visibility and reflects a stable demand environment. The 8-quarter average book-to-bill ratio has also remained at 1.0x, an indication that the Company is consistently replenishing its backlog in line with project execution.

EI Contract Backlog
The Company’s EI contract backlog is recognized from lease agreements executed with clients for leasing and/or operations and maintenance of the Company’s EI assets. Lease agreements executed during the period increase EI contract backlog while revenue recognized on EI assets decreases the EI contract backlog in the period the revenue is recognized.
EI contract backlog represents unsatisfied performance obligations related to the EI product line. Further information on recognition of revenue from the EI contract backlog is included in Note 22 “Revenue” of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Enerflex has lease agreements with clients for EI assets with initial terms ranging from one to 10 years.

Environmental
Emissions Management
Enerflex’s emissions management strategy follows the GHG Protocol - Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (the GHG Protocol), focusing on reducing enterprise-wide emissions and Enerflex’s global emissions profile. Enerflex has established 2023 as the base year for reporting verifiable emissions, reflecting typical operations post-acquisition of Exterran in October 2022. Direct Scope 1 emissions primarily stem from owned and controlled assets, including combustion sources and fugitive emissions (cars and refrigerants). Indirect Scope 2 emissions are calculated from electricity purchased for consumption by Enerflex. Enerflex’s Scope 2 emission data is based on the GHG Protocol’s recommended location-based method with country-specific factors and province or state-specific factors for Canada and the United States, respectively. All emissions from Enerflex’s contract compression fleet and BOOM facilities are controlled by the client partners who use and control the operation of the assets. Detailed data on Enerflex’s GHG emissions is included as part of the Summary TCFD Disclosures in Appendix B to this AIF.
Enerflex collects emissions data across all its locations and centrally aggregates it for analysis, verification, and completeness. CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions are monitored using IPCC AR5 factors. Enerflex limits its GHG emissions wherever possible.
To reduce its emissions, Enerflex prioritizes actions like purchasing low VOC paint and implementing enterprise-wide policies to limit standby running of vehicles and equipment. Enerflex does not currently exceed the applicable thresholds for mandatory emissions reporting or reduction initiatives in its jurisdictions of operations. The Company’s internal sustainability commitments include voluntary reporting on its GHG emissions in accordance with the methodologies described above.
Chemicals Management
Enerflex’s operations utilize chemicals commonly used in standard manufacturing and after-market services activities. Chemicals are handled, labeled, and stored within controlled environments to prevent contamination, spills, and other hazards aligned with applicable regulations and Company standards.

The Board has the responsibility to oversee and monitor risk across the organization and ensure implementation of appropriate ERM systems to monitor and manage those risks with a view to the long-term viability of the Company. The Board oversees management’s identification and evaluation of Enerflex’s principal risks and the implementation of policies, processes, and systems to manage or mitigate the risks, to achieve an appropriate balance between the risks incurred and potential benefits to the Company’s stakeholders.
Enerflex’s ERM program development and implementation is guided by ISO 31000. The ERM framework includes the identification and prioritization of Enerflex’s principal and emerging risks and regularly assessing risks at Executive Management Team meetings. Enerflex’s Internal Audit function serves as an independent body within Enerflex to assess and report on the efficacy of Enerflex’s ERM systems.

Succession Planning
Enerflex ensures leadership sustainability through robust succession planning, both in long-term and emergency scenarios. Quarterly HRC Committee meetings and Board discussions focus on executive development updates and succession plans. A third party aids in executive development, starting with the Executive Management Team and cascading to the Senior Management Teams for seamless transitions and talent cultivation.
Ethics and Business Code of Conduct
Enerflex strives to maintain a culture of integrity, ethical business conduct, transparency, and compliance. As part of these efforts, Enerflex maintains a written Business Code of Conduct (the Code of Conduct), applicable to directors, officers, employees, and independent contractors of Enerflex and its subsidiaries. The Code of Conduct provides guidance on areas such as compliance; conflicts of interest; outside employment; outside directorships; non-profit and professional associations; entertainment, gifts and favours; corporate property; anti-corruption; sanctions and trade compliance; competition and anti-trust legislation; communication devices, the use of search engines and artificial intelligence, and related matters; proprietary and confidential information; corporate communications; insider trading; HSE; human rights and respectful workplace; business and accounting practices; corporate donations; and political participation.
The Code of Conduct also affirms Enerflex’s commitment to complying with all anti-money laundering laws in the countries where it operates. Enerflex will not knowingly assist or do business with anyone involved in money laundering or any other form of financial corruption. Enerflex will only conduct business with reputable client partners that are involved in legitimate business activities who utilize funds from valid sources.
The Code of Conduct is reviewed annually by the NCG Committee and the Board and updated as necessary or advisable. The Board, through the Audit Committee and the HRC Committee, receives regular reports regarding compliance with the Code of Conduct. Orientation sessions for new employees and directors include training in respect of the Code of Conduct. Directors, officers, and all Enerflex managers are required to acknowledge annually their compliance with the provisions of the Code of Conduct. Company-wide certification occurs at least every 24 months. The Code of Conduct is available in multiple languages to ensure that employees understand the provisions of the Code of Conduct.
Whistleblower Protections and Compliance Hotline
Enerflex’s Whistleblower and Compliance Hotline, which is independent and available 24 hours per day / seven days per week, supports the Company’s commitment to financial and accounting integrity and ethical business conduct. The hotline allows employees, suppliers, client partners, or other third parties, to submit a confidential anonymous report of suspected accounting or auditing irregularities or unethical behaviour impacting Enerflex, including, without limitation, breaches of the Code of Conduct (including violations relating to harassment or workplace violence), criminal activity, violations of Enerflex policies or applicable securities laws, actions that endanger health or safety or that are likely to cause environmental damage, and actions that have the effect of concealing the foregoing.
29
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
All reports submitted to the hotline are investigated, provided sufficient information is given. Upon commencement of an investigation, notice is provided to the President and CEO, the appropriate regional President, and on a quarterly basis, to the Audit Committee (in respect of accounting or financial matters) or HRC Committee (in respect of all matters other than accounting or financial), as applicable. Once an investigation is concluded, findings are reported to the relevant Committee and actioned as appropriate.
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption
As part of Enerflex’s compliance program, the Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption Policy ensures that Enerflex operates in accordance with Canada’s Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act, the USA’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and all other anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws applicable to Enerflex’s global operations. In addition to requiring that Enerflex maintain accurate books and records, the policy prohibits each director, officer, and employee of Enerflex and its subsidiaries (as well as third parties who act on their behalf) from offering, paying, promising, or authorizing anything of value for improper purposes. The Senior Vice President and General Counsel oversees compliance with the Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption Policy, with ultimate oversight by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Enerflex.
To further mitigate the risk of unlawful activities, Enerflex’s Legal department regularly monitors developments in, and enforcement of, anti-bribery, sanctions, and export laws and evaluates applicable policies and practices to ensure continual compliance and improvement. Management ensures employee understanding of prohibited conduct by way of the Code of Conduct certification process and periodic compliance training for persons in senior management roles or who have direct contact with Enerflex’s client partners, suppliers, and/or government officials. Employees are encouraged to report suspected violations of applicable laws or Enerflex policies (including the Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption Policy) directly to a member of Enerflex’s Legal group or to the Enerflex Whistleblower and Compliance Hotline.
Global Trade Compliance
Enerflex’s Global Trade Compliance Policy ensures Enerflex’s commitment to compliance by Enerflex and its directors, officers, and employees with trade laws that are applicable to Enerflex and its business operations around the world. Companies and individuals who act on behalf of, or have partnered with, Enerflex are expected to share Enerflex’s commitment and comply with the Global Trade Compliance Policy and all related and applicable procedures in effect from time to time.
Cybersecurity and Data Privacy
Cybersecurity is a formal component of Enerflex’s overall ERM framework. The Company’s global cybersecurity program adheres to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, and is regularly reviewed and updated, including quarterly review by the Audit Committee, annual assessment by Internal Audit, and annual external audit of the information technology general controls.
Pursuant to its global cybersecurity program, Enerflex has an in-house cybersecurity team and partners with multiple third parties who provide 24 hours per day / seven days per week
30
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
services to monitor, detect, analyze, and respond to cyber threats and assess both their likelihood and their potential impact on business operations, infrastructure, and personnel. Equally important to cybersecurity are training and culture, and Enerflex works to promote a culture that understands the critical importance of data security and privacy, areas of vulnerability, and how to remain vigilant when handling data.
Search Engines and Artificial Intelligence
Enerflex permits the use of internet search engines and third-party generative artificial intelligence services provided that no Company or third-party proprietary or confidential information, personally identifiable information, or any other sensitive data are used as inputs into any such search engines or services. The use of search engines and artificial intelligence services is governed by our Code of Conduct applicable to all directors, officers, employees, and independent contractors of Enerflex and its subsidiaries. The Board, through the Audit Committee and the HRC Committee, receives regular reports regarding compliance with the Code of Conduct at each regularly scheduled Board meeting. See “Sustainability – Governance – Ethics and Business Code of Conduct”.
Political Contributions
Enerflex does not align itself with any political party and abstains from making contributions to political parties or candidates for political office.
Insider Trading
Enerflex’s Insider Trading Policy aligns with applicable securities laws and regulations and applies to all officers, directors, employees and anyone else that qualifies as an “insider”. The policy covers topics such as insider trading prohibitions, blackout periods (both scheduled, recurring, and Company implemented), tipping, insider reporting, and general trading restrictions. The Insider Trading Policy outlines the regular blackout periods (in advance of the release of quarterly and annual financial results) when trading is not allowed, as well as the timing of trading windows. Enerflex insiders and individuals that have access to material undisclosed information are notified by email in advance of each applicable blackout period, expected duration (if known) and, upon the ending of the blackout period, notification of a trading window. In addition, management and the NCG Committee also receive regular reports of insider trading activities at their respective meetings and management also reviews disclosures to analysts and investors to ensure that no selective disclosure has occurred.
Conflicts of Interest
In addition to the statutory obligations of directors to address conflict of interest matters, Enerflex has established a Director & Officer Conflict of Interests Policy to ensure transparency, maintain trust in Enerflex’s leadership, and appropriately mitigate risks arising from personal or external interests that could influence decision‑making. The policy requires timely disclosure of any potential conflicts of interests, including completion of an annual Disclosure Form and ongoing reporting of any changes, and establishes a review and decision‑making process for assessing potential conflicts, and obligations of directors during Board deliberations. In addition, prior to commencing Board and Committee meetings, the agenda is reviewed for conflicts. In addition to annual director certification,
31
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Code of Conduct certifications completed by officers, employees, and independent contractors include disclosures of potential conflicts. Any concerns arising in that context are brought to the attention of the Human Resources department, the Legal department, and, if necessary, the President and Chief Executive Officer, the appropriate standing committee of the Board, and/or the Chair of the Board. All identified conflicts of interest are reviewed and addressed in accordance with established procedures.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in Enerflex Common Shares involves a number of risks. There are general risks associated with all businesses; industry specific risks inherent in Enerflex’s operations; and risks specific to Enerflex. This section describes the risks that Enerflex believes are most material to its business and operations. The risks identified herein is not a complete list of all the risks and potential risks applicable to Enerflex. Additional risks may arise from time to time as Enerflex’s business evolves. Risks currently perceived as immaterial may become material. While the Company has extensive policies and procedures in place to limit, manage and mitigate risks, including the Company’s ERM program, there is no assurance that Enerflex will be successful in preventing or minimizing the harm and potential harm that risks present.
General Business Risks
Failure to meet investor expectations
As with all businesses, there is a risk that Enerflex does not always meet investor expectations, including expectations regarding financial performance and the optimal deployment of capital. Investors may have expectations regarding the timeline for returns on an investment in Company, which may not align with the Company’s own strategic objectives, forecasts, and scenario planning, and which may not fully consider the volatility and cyclical nature of the oil and natural gas industry. BOOM projects in particular have a multi-year development cycle, with returns typically materializing over a longer term than investors might anticipate. Certain assumptions, estimates, and analysis impacting Enerflex’s growth projections may not materialize for reasons beyond the Company’s control. See “Forward-Looking Information”.
A failure to meet stakeholder expectations could adversely impact the reputation of the Company, and investor trust and confidence in the Company, its Board and Management, such that investors reduce their investment in Enerflex, or do not invest in Enerflex at all. This may have an adverse impact on the price and liquidity of Enerflex’s securities, and otherwise adversely impact the Company’s financial position. A failure to meet stakeholder expectations could also result in negative change to Enerflex’s credit ratings. These ratings affect Enerflex’s short and long-term financing costs, liquidity, and operations over the long term, and its ability to engage in certain business activities cost-effectively. If a rating agency downgrades Enerflex’s current corporate credit rating or the rating of the 2031 Notes, or negatively changes its credit outlook, it could have an adverse effect on Enerflex’s future financing costs and access to liquidity and capital.
The Company manages the risk of not meeting shareholder expectations through a combination of (a) clear, credible, and consistent communication of its financial
32
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
performance and strategic objectives to stakeholders by way of regular market updates, a dedicated investor relations function, and engagement with shareholders by Management and members of the Board of Directors, and (b) a disciplined focus on executing the short-, medium- and long-term strategies communicated to investors. The Company also monitors corporate governance developments and engages with proxy advisory firms and governance organizations in an effort to continually improve its disclosures.
Compliance with domestic and international laws, financial reporting rules, and applicable regulations impact Enerflex’s operations
With operations in 17 countries globally, the Company is impacted by, and required to comply with, a multitude of international, federal, provincial, state, and local laws and regulations. Enerflex has developed policies, procedures, and training tools designed to achieve and maintain compliance with these laws and regulations, both in its own right and by contractors and sub-contractors. While management believes the Company and its subsidiaries comply with current prevailing laws and regulations, these laws and regulations are complex, subject to periodic revision, and many are becoming increasingly stringent. In addition, laws and regulations are often subject to changes in their interpretation by administrative authorities. There is thus a risk that the Company is not able to maintain compliance with all applicable laws or regulations in all jurisdictions and that the Company could be exposed to investigations, claims, and other regulatory proceedings for alleged or actual violations of laws and regulations related to its operations. This could result in the imposition of administrative, civil, and criminal enforcement measures, including assessment of monetary penalties, disgorgement, obligatory modifications to business practices and compliance programs, and issuance of injunctions as to future compliance. While Enerflex cannot accurately predict the impact of any such proceedings, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.
The cost of legal and regulatory compliance can also be significant. These costs impact the Company’s operating costs and, if they increase over time, could negatively impact the demand for the Company’s products and services.
Enerflex’s compliance obligations, and associated risks, include but are not limited to those detailed below.
(a) Corruption, anti-bribery, sanctions, and trade laws
The Company is required to comply with domestic and international laws and regulations regarding corruption, anti-bribery, sanctions, and trade compliance. Enerflex conducts business in many parts of the world that experience high levels of corruption, relies on third-party agents to act on the Company’s behalf in some jurisdictions where the Company does not have a presence, and is subject to various laws that govern the import and export of its equipment, including licensing requirements and transfer pricing rules.
The Canadian government, the US Department of Justice, the SEC, the US Office of Foreign Assets Control, and similar agencies and authorities in other jurisdictions have a broad range of civil and criminal penalties they may seek to impose against companies and individuals for violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery legislation, trade laws, and sanctions laws.
33
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
(b) HSE laws and regulations
Compliance with environmental laws is a priority across Enerflex operations and in the manufacturing of the Company’s products. Certain environmental laws may impose joint and several and strict liability for environmental contamination, which may render the Company liable for remediation costs, natural resource damages, and other damages as a result of Company conduct or the conduct of, or conditions at Company facilities caused by, prior owners or operators or other third parties. In addition, where contamination may be present, it is possible that neighbouring landowners and other third parties may file claims for personal injury, property damage, and recovery of response costs. Remediation costs and other damages arising as a result of environmental laws and regulations could be substantial and could negatively impact financial condition, profitability, and results of operations.
Enerflex may need to apply for or amend facility permits or licenses from time to time with respect to storm water, waste handling, or air emissions relating to manufacturing activities or equipment operations, which may subject Enerflex to new or revised permitting conditions. These permits and authorizations may contain numerous compliance requirements, including monitoring and reporting obligations and operational restrictions, such as emission limits, which may be onerous or costly to comply with. Given the large number of jurisdictions and facilities in which Enerflex operates, and the numerous environmental permits and other authorizations that are applicable to its operations, the Company may occasionally identify or be notified of technical violations of certain compliance requirements and could be subject to penalties related thereto.
The Company is also subject to various federal, provincial, state, and local laws and regulations relating to safety and health conditions in its manufacturing facilities and other operations. Those laws and regulations may also subject the Company to material financial penalties or liabilities for any noncompliance, as well as potential business disruption if any of its facilities, or a portion of any facility, is required to be temporarily closed as a result of any violation of those laws and regulations. Any such financial liability or business disruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s projections, business, results of operations, and financial condition.
(c) Laws relating to internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures
Enerflex is required by law to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, including under SOx. Under SOx requirements, Enerflex must furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by management in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Enerflex cannot provide assurance that there will not be material weaknesses and deficiencies identified presently or in the future. Enerflex may not be able to remediate material weaknesses that have been identified, or any future material weaknesses that may be identified, or complete any evaluation, testing and remediation in a timely manner. Where material weaknesses and deficiencies do exist, there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected on
34
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
a timely basis. The Company’s independent auditors may issue adverse reports if it is not satisfied with the level at which Enerflex’s controls are designed, documented, or operating. Consequently, the Company cannot provide assurance that its independent auditors will be able to attest to the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting now or in the future.
If Enerflex is unable to remediate known material weaknesses, or if it identifies additional material weaknesses or deficiencies, it may be unable to produce accurate and timely financial statements in conformity with IFRS, which could lead to investors losing confidence in the Company’s financial disclosures, trigger an event of default under its credit agreements and harm its business, which could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of Enerflex Common Shares, could result in the Company being unable to comply with applicable securities laws and stock exchange listing requirements, or could restrict its future access to capital markets.
Trade tariffs may create or heighten geopolitical and economic instability
Economic, tax and trade policies may have significant implications for Canadian, U.S. and global economies. Trade tariffs imposed by the USA on imports from Canada and other countries, together with retaliatory tariffs by those countries on imports from the USA, and other potential measures, including import and export duties, fees, economic sanctions or other trade measures, immigration policy, tax policy, and energy regulation, present risks to Enerflex’s business and operations and may create or heighten geopolitical and economic instability and increase market volatility. Such measures, the nature, extent, and timing of which remain uncertain, could lead to increased costs, facilitate changes in interest rates and inflation, impact commodity prices, or currency exchange rates, and lower economic growth and equity prices, any or all of which could adversely impact Enerflex’s results and/or operations.
The Company continues to closely monitor developments in this area and to work to mitigate the impact of any tariffs through its diversified operations and proactive risk management. Enerflex’s operations in the USA, Canada, and Mexico are largely distinct in the customers and projects they serve. The nature, timing, and impact of trade tariffs on the Company’s financial and operational results cannot currently be quantified or determined.
Changes in tax laws, interpretations, or rates may negatively impact Enerflex
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income and other taxes in multiple jurisdictions. One or more of the jurisdictions in which Enerflex does business could seek to impose incremental or new taxes on the Company or its subsidiaries. Effective tax rates in those jurisdictions could also be impacted by changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, or changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Any such change could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial and operational results.
While management believes the Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with current prevailing tax laws and requirements, the Company or its subsidiaries could be subject to assessment, reassessment, audit, investigation, inquiry, or judicial or administrative proceedings by any of the taxing jurisdiction where it operates. The timing or impacts of any such assessment, reassessment, audit, investigation, inquiry, or judicial or
35
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
administrative proceedings, or any future changes in tax laws, including the impacts of proposed regulations, cannot be predicted. Any adverse tax developments, including legislative changes, judicial holdings, or administrative interpretations, could have a material and adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of the Company.
Force majeure events may impact Enerflex’s business
The Company’s operations could be impacted by disruptions beyond its control, including, but not limited to: natural disasters; extreme weather events; the outbreak of epidemics, pandemics, or other health crises; cyberattacks; infrastructure disruptions; terrorist activities, anti-terrorist efforts, and other armed conflicts; domestic and global trade disruptions; diplomatic developments; national emergencies; acts of foreign governments; acts of war; civil unrest; or other natural or man-made events or occurrences. Any such disruptions could result in, amongst other things, a slowdown, or temporary, prolonged or permanent suspension of Enerflex’s operations in impacted geographic locations; damaged infrastructure and key facility closures; reduced economic activity and corresponding reduced demand for the Company’s products and services; or an impaired supply chain, increasing the cost of goods and services used in Enerflex’s operations. Disruptions may also adversely impact the health and safety of Enerflex’s employees or otherwise restrict the availability or productivity of its workforce. Should any such disruption occur, the Company’s business, operations, assets, financial condition, and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Emerging from any slowdown or suspension in operations presents further risks to Enerflex’s business, financial condition, and reputation. The Company may be delayed in reaching full operational capacity and in bringing crucial systems and processes online and may have reduced access to assets and project sites, disrupting its ability to service client partners or making it impossible to fulfill its contractual obligations.
Any unforeseen disruptions could also expose Enerflex to substantial liability for personal injury, loss of life, property damage, and pollution. Enerflex carries insurance to protect the Company against these unforeseen events, subject to appropriate deductibles and the availability of coverage, although such insurance protections may not be adequate to cover all losses or liabilities that the Company may incur. See “Risk Factors – Enerflex Specific Risks - Enerflex’s business requires significant levels of insurance” for the limitations on insurance coverage and associated risks to the business.
ESG matters, climate change, and associated regulatory and policy changes could impact Enerflex’s business
Practices and disclosures relating to ESG matters (including but not limited to governance practices, climate change and emissions, diversity and inclusion, data security and privacy, ethical sourcing, and water, waste, and ecological management) have, in recent years, attracted increasing scrutiny by stakeholders. Certain stakeholders are requesting that issuers develop and implement more robust ESG policies and practices. Developing and implementing such policies and practices can involve significant costs and require a significant time commitment from the Board of Directors, Executive Management Team, and employees of Enerflex. Failing to implement the policies and practices as requested or
36
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
expected by Enerflex’s stakeholders, may result in investors reducing their investment in Enerflex, or not investing in Enerflex at all, thereby affecting the price and liquidity of Enerflex’s securities. The Company’s response to addressing ESG matters, and any negative perception thereof, can also impact Enerflex’s financial position through increased financing costs, and impact its reputation, business prospects, and ability to hire and retain qualified employees. It could also make the Company vulnerable to activist shareholders. Such risks could adversely affect Enerflex’s business, future operations, and profitability.
Climate change policy is quickly evolving at regional, national, and international levels, and political and economic events may significantly affect the scope and timing of climate change measures that are ultimately put in place. There is a global trend in recent periods towards greater regulation of GHG emissions. Although it is not possible to predict how new laws or regulations would impact the Company’s business, any future requirements imposing carbon pricing schemes, carbon taxes, or emissions-reduction obligations on the Company’s operations could require it to incur costs to reduce emissions or to purchase emission credits or offsets and may cause delays or restrictions in its ability to offer its products and services. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could result in significant liabilities or penalties being imposed on Enerflex. There is also a risk that Enerflex could face claims initiated by third parties relating to climate change or related laws and regulations, or to the Company’s public disclosure of matters relating to climate change and the environment. The direct or indirect costs of such claims, and compliance with such laws or regulations, may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects of the Company. Enerflex’s client partners face similar risks, which could see reduced demand for the Company’s products and services.
The nature of Enerflex’s operations brings inherent litigation risk and liability claims
The Company’s operations entail inherent risks, including but not limited to equipment defects, malfunctions and failures, and natural disasters that could result in uncontrollable flows of natural gas, untreated water or well fluids, fires, and explosions. Some of the Company’s products are used in hazardous applications where an accident or a failure of a product could cause personal injury or loss of life, or damage to property, equipment, or the environment, as well as the suspension of the end-user’s operations. The Company seeks to mitigate its exposure to these risks through various means including contracting strategies, however, if the Company’s products were to be involved in any of these incidents, the Company could face litigation and may be held liable for those losses.
The Company is and in the future may become involved in, named as a party to, or be the subject of various legal proceedings and arbitrations, including regulatory proceedings, tax proceedings, and legal actions related to contract disputes, property damage, environmental matters, employment matters, and personal injury. See “Legal Proceedings” for more information, including in respect of the ongoing arbitration on an international ES project.
Defense and settlement costs associated with lawsuits and claims can be substantial, even with respect to lawsuits and claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any legal proceeding or arbitration could have a material adverse effect on Enerflex’s operating results or financial performance.
37
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
The Company may not be able to adequately protect itself contractually or by relying on insurance coverage in connection with any third party claim. See “Risk Factors – Enerflex Specific Risks - Enerflex’s business requires significant levels of insurance” for the limitations on insurance coverage and associated risks to the business.
Industry Specific Risks
Investor sentiment particularly related to the oil and natural gas industry
A number of factors, including the inherent volatility of the oil and natural gas industry, the impact of oil and natural gas operations on the environment, the effects of the use of hydrocarbons on climate change, ecological damage relating to spills of petroleum products during production and transportation, and human rights, have affected certain investors’ sentiments towards investing in the oil and natural gas industry. As a result of these concerns, some institutional, retail, and governmental investors have announced that they are no longer willing to fund or invest in companies in the oil and natural gas industry or are reducing the amount of their investment over time. Any reduction in the investor base interested or willing to invest in the oil and natural gas industry may limit Enerflex’s access to capital, increase its financing costs, and decrease the price and liquidity of Enerflex’s securities.
A well-functioning supply chain and effective inventory management are essential to Enerflex’s business
Enerflex purchases a broad range of materials and components in connection with its manufacturing and service activities. Certain components used in Enerflex’s products are obtained from a single source or a limited group of suppliers and original equipment manufacturers. While Enerflex makes it a priority to maintain and enhance these strategic relationships in its supply chain, there can be no assurance that these relationships will continue. Reliance on suppliers involves several risks, including price increases, delivery delays, inferior component quality, and unilateral termination. Certain original equipment manufacturers are also limited in the ability to package and sell material and products. Long-lead times for high demand components, such as engines, can result in project delays. While Enerflex has long standing relationships with recognized and reputable suppliers and original equipment manufacturers, it does not have long-term contracts with all of them, and the partial or complete loss of certain of these sources could result in increased costs and project delays, could have a negative impact on Enerflex’s results of operations, could damage client partner relationships, and could affect Enerflex’s competitive position. Further, a significant increase in the price of one or more of these components could have a negative impact on Enerflex’s operational or financial results.
Risks associated with supply chain disruptions are mitigated by dedicated supply chain management teams and continual review of supply chain documentation and processes. Though Enerflex is generally not dependent on any single source of supply, the ability of suppliers to meet performance, quality specifications, and delivery schedules is important to the maintenance of client partner satisfaction and Enerflex’s reputation in the market. If the availability of equipment is constrained or delayed, or if Enerflex’s supply chain is otherwise disrupted such that it cannot deliver products or services in a timely and cost-effective manner, certain of the Company’s operational or financial results may be adversely impacted.
38
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
The Company’s operational and financial results could also be adversely impacted by supply chain challenges specific to Enerflex’s operations across multiple jurisdictions. Segmented operations can give rise to inter-regional inefficiencies and restrict Enerflex’s ability to utilize global bulk buying power with several large suppliers, impacting the profitability of its projects. While the fabrication of ES products at our Houston, Broken Arrow and Calgary manufacturing facilities avoids the significant markup associated with local procurement, it can impact margins through additional transportation costs and import taxes, tariffs, and fees. In certain countries in which the Company operates, Enerflex is required to use certain vendors, which impacts the ability to utilize global or internal supply chains and increases costs.
Enerflex faces additional risks related to its internal supply chain and effective management of its inventory. The Company is continually improving its strategic inventory management, using market intelligence, automatic inventory checking, and supply chain coordination, and while the Company does leverage its global footprint to manage its inventory levels on a larger scale, there are risks that inventory is not properly optimized across all operations. A failure to properly manage and optimize inventory could restrict access to working capital, restrict the Company’s ability to move quickly in securing new business, and generally negatively impact operational efficiency and financial performance.
See “Sustainability – Social – Supply Chain Management” for details of Enerflex’s supply chain management processes.
The industry in which Enerflex operates is highly competitive
The Company has several competitors in all aspects of its business. There are low barriers to entry for natural gas processing and compression services, the processing and compression fabrication business, and several companies target the same client partners as Enerflex in markets where margins can be low and contract negotiations can be challenging. With respect to new market entrants, the Company faces increasing competition in Latin America and the Eastern Hemisphere.
When it occurs, consolidation within Enerflex’s customer base further increases competitive pressures, as the balance of supply-and-demand is disrupted, and the Company is forced to compete for business from a smaller pool of customers. In AMS, customers may develop their own internal after-market service capabilities, further reducing the pool of potential customers. There is an ongoing risk that Enerflex’s competitors expand their service offering or fabricate new equipment, or develop relationships with Enerflex’s key original equipment manufacturers, which would create additional competition for the products, equipment, or services that Enerflex offers to client partners.
Some of the Company’s competitors, particularly in the ES and EI product lines, are large, multi-national companies that may be able to adapt more quickly to technological changes within the industry or changes in economic and market conditions, more readily take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities, leverage more cost-efficient internal supply chains, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies.
In terms of financial and operational performance, the Company faces considerable market pressure from competitors that may have lower costs of capital, diverse capital structures,
39
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
and alternative reporting metrics. There is a risk that Enerflex is unable to take advantage of opportunities or be competitive on pricing to the extent necessary to compete with these companies, both for the reasons set out above and because of capital constraints, debt levels, and the costs associated with the stringent compliance requirements that apply to Enerflex as a public company.
The Company’s ability to secure new business, maintain its market share, and achieve its strategic objectives could be affected by any one or more of these competitive pressures. This could have a material and adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations, as well as on the price and liquidity of Enerflex’s securities. A detailed discussion of the competitive conditions in Enerflex’s principal markets, and an assessment of Enerflex’s competitive position, is included the “Competitive Conditions” section of this AIF.
The ability to hire and retain quality personnel and contractors are critical to Enerflex’s business
The Company’s ability to attract qualified personnel by providing both market-related compensation and the necessary organizational structure, benefits, programs, and culture to engage employees, is crucial to its growth and to achieving its business results. The Company’s ability to provide development opportunities and training to cultivate talent and enhance its internal skillset is equally important.
Enerflex’s product lines require a combination of skilled engineers, design professionals, tradespeople, mechanics, and technicians. Enerflex competes to hire and retain these professionals, not only with companies in the same industry, but with companies in other industries. These competitive pressures are compounded in periods of high activity, when demand for skills and expertise increases and when the Company may need to move quickly to augment its workforce, as well as by a reduction in the number of people pursuing skilled trades. Moreover, much like certain investors’ sentiments towards investing in the oil and natural gas industry have been affected by ESG matters, the perceived impact of oil and natural gas operations on the environment and issues of climate change have made a career in the oil and natural gas industry less appealing to new graduates and tradespeople entering the job market. This increases demand and competition for the high-quality, skilled personnel necessary to deliver on Enerflex’s value proposition to client partners across all business lines.
There are few barriers to entry in several of Enerflex’s businesses, so retention of qualified personnel is essential to differentiate Enerflex's product and service offerings and to compete in its various markets. Enerflex’s employee retention strategies include but are not limited to comprehensive succession planning for Management and personnel in key positions and investment in ongoing talent development within each region and at the corporate head office. Total Rewards compensation and benefits programs, individual career growth plans and other opportunities for career development, and a keen focus on employee diversity, inclusion and wellbeing, further support the Company’s efforts to ensure the sustainability and continuity of critical knowledge, relationships, and skills. See “Sustainability – Social – Talent Management” for more details of the various programs and policies supporting Enerflex’s recruitment, retention and employee development efforts.
40
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
There can, however, be no assurance that key personnel are retained. The associated loss of knowledge, relationships, skills, and functions (particularly engineering and trades functions), as well as loss of access to the knowledge and relationships fundamental to the maintenance and management of key contracts, poses a significant risk to Enerflex’s business and could adversely impact the quality or delay the completion of certain projects, increase competitive pressures, and adversely impact the Company’s reputation.
There are certain jurisdictions where Enerflex relies on third-party contractors to carry out the operation and maintenance of its equipment and the aforementioned risks apply equally in this context. The ability of third-party contractors to find and retain individuals with the proper technical background and training is critical to the continued success of the contracted operations in these jurisdictions. If Enerflex’s third-party contractors are unable to find and retain qualified operators, or the cost of these qualified operators increases substantially, the contract operations business could be materially impacted.
Financial reductions or restrictions of client partners may impact Enerflex’s contracted revenue
Many of Enerflex’s client partners finance their activities through cash flow from operations, incurrence of debt, or issuance of equity. In addition, a substantial portion of Enerflex’s accounts receivable balances are with client partners involved in the oil and natural gas industry, and these client partners may experience decreased cash flow from operations, or a reduction in their ability to access capital, during times when the oil or natural gas markets weaken. Enerflex may also extend credit to certain client partners for products and services that it provides during its normal course of business.
If a client partner experiences decreased cash flow from operations and limitations on their ability to incur debt or raise equity, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities, a lack of availability of debt or equity financing, or other factors that negatively impacts its financial condition, Enerflex may not be able to collect or enforce collections on all or a portion of the accounts receivable balance or credit balance from that client partner. Alternatively, the affected client partner may seek to preserve capital by pursuing price concessions, thereby putting margins under pressure, or by cancelling or determining not to renew recurring revenue contracts. Where contracts are renewed or renegotiated, these may be on less favourable commercial terms, or may transfer additional risk of liquidated damages, consequential loss, liability caps, and indemnities to the Company.
Any one of these occurrences may lead to a reduction in revenue and net income, which reduction could have a material adverse effect on Enerflex’s business, financial condition, results from operations, and cash flows. Enerflex monitors its financial exposure to its client partners, but there can be no certainty that financial losses will not materialize or have a material adverse impact on the organization.
Economic and industry volatility could impact Enerflex’s financial position
The industry in which Enerflex operates is highly reliant on the levels of capital expenditures made by oil and gas producers and explorers. The capital expenditures of these companies, along with those of midstream companies who service these oil and gas explorers and
41
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
producers, impact the demand for Enerflex’s equipment and services. Capital expenditure decisions are based on various factors, including but not limited to demand for hydrocarbons and prices of related products; exploration and development prospects in various jurisdictions; reserve production levels; oil and natural gas prices; regulatory compliance; and access to capital, none of which can be accurately predicted. More generally, the supply and demand for oil and natural gas is influenced by a number of factors, including political, economic, or military circumstances throughout the energy producing regions of the world. This has been highlighted by recent developments in Venezuela, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and ongoing tensions in the Middle East, which have had a substantial impact on supply and resulted in significant and rapid commodity price increases. Actual or threatened imposition of import tariffs and retaliatory measures have created volatility in markets which can influence the demand for, or price, of the Company’s solutions.
If economic conditions or international markets decline unexpectedly, or if there is an actual or perceived downturn in commodity prices over the long term, oil and gas producing client partners may decide to cancel or postpone major capital expenditures. This may lead to financial losses in the short term, and reduced demand for products and services offered by Enerflex and a restriction in the Company’s ability to generate recurring revenue over the medium- to long term. The overall impact to the Enerflex business is difficult to predict and depends on many factors that are continually evolving and not within Enerflex’s control, but any such adverse conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Adverse economic conditions present additional risks to Enerflex’s business. A strong US dollar can make ES fabricated in the USA less competitive in markets outside of the USA, adversely impacting the Company’s reputation and competitive position in international markets and adversely affecting cash flows and access to capital for larger BOOM projects. The longer development cycle of BOOM projects also makes them particularly susceptible to the negative impacts of higher inflation, which presents financial risk over the lifetime of longer-term projects.
Conversely, strong economic conditions and competition for available personnel, materials, and major components may result in significant increases in the cost of obtaining such resources. To the greatest extent possible, Enerflex passes such cost increases on to its client partners and attempts to reduce these pressures through proactive supply chain and human resource practices. Should these efforts not be successful, the gross margin and profitability of Enerflex could be adversely affected.
The Company and its subsidiaries’ liabilities include long-term debt that may be subject to fluctuations in interest rates. The 2031 Notes outstanding at December 31, 2025 are at fixed interest rates and therefore will not be impacted by fluctuations in market interest rates. The Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, however, is subject to changes in market interest rates. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had $193 million of indebtedness that is effectively subject to floating interest rates. Changes in economic conditions outside of Enerflex’s control could result in higher interest rates, thereby increasing Enerflex’s interest expense and, in turn, having material adverse impact on Enerflex’s financial results and financial condition. For each one per cent change in the rate of interest on the Revolving Credit Facility,
42
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
the change in interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, would be approximately $2 million. All interest charges are recorded in finance costs on the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). Any increase in market interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results, financial condition, or ability to declare and pay dividends. See “Dividends – Restrictions on Paying Dividends”.
Enerflex is susceptible to health, safety, and environment risks throughout its operations
Enerflex’s business is susceptible to health, safety, and environment risks inherent in manufacturing, construction, and operations in the oil and natural gas services industry. These risks include but are not limited to: equipment defects, malfunctions, and failures; vehicle collisions and other transportation incidents; and natural disasters or other catastrophic events that could result in uncontrollable flows of natural gas, untreated water or well fluids, fires, and explosions. Some of the Company’s products are used in hazardous applications where an accident or a failure of a product could cause personal injury or loss of life, or damage to property, equipment, or the environment, as well as the suspension of the end-user’s operations.
Failure to mitigate, prevent, or appropriately respond to a safety or health incident could result in injuries or fatalities among employees, contractors, visitors, or residents in communities near Company operations. Preventing or responding to accidents could also require Enerflex to expend significant time and effort, as well as financial resources to remediate safety issues, compensate injured parties, and repair damaged facilities.
If the Company or its products were to be involved in any of the aforementioned incidents, the Company could face litigation and may be held liable for losses arising from personal injuries or death, property damage, operational interruptions, and shutdown or abandonment of affected facilities. Defense and settlement costs associated with lawsuits and claims can be substantial. The Company could also face government-imposed orders to remedy unsafe conditions or circumstances, and penalties associated with the contravention of applicable health and safety legislation.
Safety is also key factor that client partners consider when selecting a service provider. A decline in the Company’s safety performance could result in lower demand for products or services, which could have an adverse effect on Enerflex’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Enerflex reduces its exposure to HSE risks through various means, including comprehensive security and safety assessments of all new projects and on an ongoing basis; contracting strategies; and by maintaining prudent levels of insurance, although such protections may not be adequate to cover all losses or liabilities that the Company may incur. See “Risk Factors – Enerflex Specific Risks - Enerflex’s business requires significant levels of insurance” for the limitations on insurance coverage and associated risks to the business.
Customer needs and expectations are evolving
Enerflex’s ability to remain competitive and to achieve its strategic objectives depends in part on its ability to develop, adopt, integrate, and deploy new and emerging technologies, and to leverage technological innovations, across its operations, product, and service
43
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
offerings. It also depends on its ability to understand and anticipate the evolving needs and expectations of its customer base more generally, across all the jurisdictions in which it operates, and to adapt its offerings and pricing to meet those expectations.
Development and adoption of new technologies, and development of new product and service offerings, requires significant investments of capital and resources, and the expenditure of time and costs in upskilling and reskilling employees. These costs may or may not be recoverable in the marketplace and may result in certain products and services being less profitable or economical than anticipated. If the Company is unable to quickly adapt to customers’ evolving needs and expectations, either by failing to deploy technologically innovative offerings, or by failing to meet customer expectations as to product and service quality, project structure, pricing and contractual terms (including the allocation of risk), or otherwise, this could reduce demand for the Company’s products and place Enerflex at a considerable competitive and reputational disadvantage. The Company’s ability to sustain and create new revenue streams in existing markets and to enter and compete in new markets may be affected, which could have a material adverse impact on the operational and financial performance of the Company in the long term. It could also impact the Company’s financial position through loss of long-term client partner relationships.
Successful execution of energy transition projects is reliant on regulatory and policy incentives such as the Section 45Q tax credit for CCUS, the Section 45V tax credit for clean hydrogen production, California low-carbon fuel standards, and many others. The elimination or loss of, or reduction in, such incentives could (i) decrease the attractiveness of such energy transition projects, equipment or facilities to potential client partners, reducing the Company’s opportunities to commercialize the relevant projects, equipment or facilities, (ii) reduce the Company’s willingness to pursue or develop certain projects, equipment or facilities due to higher operating costs or decreased revenue related to such projects, equipment or facilities, and/or (iii) cause the market for future energy transition projects, equipment or facilities to be smaller. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to pursue opportunities in the energy transition economy. Additionally, there are many geographies where relevant governments have not adopted or promulgated regulatory and policy incentives related to energy transition projects and applications. Enerflex may not be able to participate in providing energy transition solutions to client partners in those geographies unless and until such regulatory and policy incentives are adopted.
Enerflex’s business requires significant levels of insurance
Enerflex’s operations are subject to many risks, including without limitation risks inherent in the oil and natural gas services industry, such as equipment defects, and failures; risks of natural disasters with resultant uncontrollable flows of oil and natural gas, fires, spills, and explosions; and the additional risks identified in the “Risk Factors” section of the AIF. These risks could expose Enerflex to substantial liability for personal injury, loss of life, business interruption, property damage, pollution, and other liabilities. Enerflex carries prudent levels of insurance to protect the Company against these risks, subject to appropriate deductibles and the availability of coverage. However, there can be no assurance that any such insurance policies will cover all losses or liabilities that may arise from the operation of Enerflex’s business, or that claims made under the Company’s policies are not in excess of policy limits
44
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
or subject to substantial deductibles. Any losses or liabilities not so covered could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s projections, business, results of operations, and financial condition. The occurrence of a significant event outside of the scope of coverage of the Enerflex insurance policies could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results.
An annual review of insurance coverage is completed to assess the risk of loss and risk mitigation alternatives. Natural occurrences, and geopolitical activities in recent years have strained insurance markets leading to increases in insurance costs and limitations on coverage. While Enerflex intends to maintain appropriate insurance coverage in the future, there can be no assurance that such coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms, at levels of risk coverage or policy limits that management deems adequate, or on terms as favourable as Enerflex’s current arrangements. Any claims made under the Company's policies may cause its premiums to increase.
Enerflex Specific Risks
Exposure to the risks associated with international operations
Enerflex is exposed to risks inherent in conducting international operations, including, but not limited to: social, political, and economic instability or other adverse social, political, and economic conditions; armed conflict; recessions and other economic crises that may impact the Company’s cost of conducting business; adoption of new, or the expansion of existing, sanctions, trade restrictions, or embargoes; changes to laws and regulations; imposition of tariffs or changes to or segmentation of existing tariffs; imposition of price controls; difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations including logistical, safety, security, and communication challenges; difficulties, delays, and expenses experienced or incurred in connection with the movement and clearance of personnel and goods through the customs and immigration authorities of multiple jurisdictions; difficulty in accessing remote project sites; difficulty in obtaining external approvals and other permits required to conduct operations; limitations on the Company’s ability to repatriate cash, funds, or capital invested or held in jurisdictions outside Canada; difficulty or expense of enforcing contractual rights and the rule of law, due to the lack of a developed legal system or otherwise; confiscation, expropriation, or nationalization of property without fair compensation; and difficulties in engaging third-party agents to appropriately interface with clients or otherwise act on the Company’s behalf in certain jurisdictions.
To the extent Enerflex’s international operations are or have been affected by any of the above, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. To mitigate against these risks, the Company engages both internal and external legal counsel and expert advisors in each jurisdiction in which it operates. The Company endeavors to have appropriate contractual protections and prudent levels of insurance in place to mitigate these risks, although such protections may not be adequate to cover all losses or liabilities that the Company may incur. See “Risk Factors – Enerflex Specific Risks - Enerflex’s business requires significant levels of insurance” for the limitations on insurance coverage and associated risks to the business and “Risk Factors – General Business Risks – Force majeure events may impact Enerflex’s business”. See “Legal Proceedings” for a description of the ongoing arbitration on an international ES project.
45
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Challenges in optimally deploying and accessing capital may impact Enerflex’s business
Enerflex relies on its cash, as well as the credit and capital markets, to provide some of the capital required to continue operations. While access to capital does not present an immediate, material risk, Enerflex’s higher costs of capital and competing demands for capital within the business could adversely impact the Company’s financial and competitive position. The Company seeks to mitigate these risks by continuing with disciplined capital spending in 2026 and by continuously improving its capital allocation processes and assessments.
The Company’s current financing agreements contain a number of covenants and restrictions that Enerflex, and its subsidiaries, must comply with including, but not limited to, use of proceeds, limitations on the ability to incur additional indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, mergers and acquisitions, and the Company’s ability to sell assets. The Company’s ability to comply with these covenants and restrictions may be affected by events beyond its control, including prevailing economic, financial, and industry conditions. If market or other economic conditions deteriorate, the Company’s ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired. Failure to meet any of these covenants, financial ratios, or financial tests could result in events of default, requiring the Company to repay its indebtedness and could impair the Company’s ability to access the capital markets for financing. While Enerflex is currently in compliance with all covenants, financial ratios, and financial tests, there can be no assurance that it will be able to comply with these covenants, financial ratios, and financial tests in future periods. These events could restrict the Company’s and other guarantors’ ability to fund its operations, meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities, or declare and pay dividends.
The Company may also be restricted in its ability to access capital on reasonable commercial terms, if at all, due to instability or disruptions to the capital markets, including the credit markets, or otherwise. Particularly for BOOM projects, the ability to access in-country project financing can present challenges. These projects are typically funded in-part by cash flows from the sale of ES, and any reduction in these cash flows, may further jeopardize Enerflex’s ability to fund these longer-term projects. Lack of access to capital may result in adverse consequences including: making it more difficult to satisfy contractual obligations; increasing vulnerability to general adverse economic conditions and industry conditions; limiting the ability to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, or acquisitions, and the ability to generate revenue; limiting the ability to refinance debt in the future or borrow additional funds to fund ongoing operations; and limiting the ability to pay future dividends to shareholders. See “Dividends – Restrictions on Paying Dividends”.
The business and operations of Enerflex involve inherent project execution risk
Enerflex’s project expertise encompasses field production facilities, gas compression and processing plants, gas lift compression, refrigeration systems, treated water, and electric power equipment, primarily serving the natural gas production industry. The Company participates in some projects that have a relatively larger size and scope when compared to the majority of its projects, which may translate into more technically challenging conditions or performance specifications for its products and services. These projects typically specify delivery dates, performance criteria, penalties for the failure to perform, and may provide for
46
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
liquidated damages. Other projects are concluded on a fixed-fee basis, which shifts risk from the client partner to Enerflex and which could result in unanticipated cost overruns.
The Company’s ability to profitably execute on projects for client partners and meet contracted delivery dates is dependent on numerous factors which include, but are not limited to: changes in project scope; client partner delays; the availability and timeliness of external approvals and other required permits; skilled labor availability, productivity, and optimization; the availability of quality contractors to support execution of the Company’s scope on the projects; the availability and cost of materials, parts, and services; the accuracy of design, engineering, and construction; the ability to safely access and perform work at the job site; and weather conditions. Inefficient project execution protocols and use of resources, aging information technology infrastructure, and over-reliance on manual processes could all also impact the Company’s ability to meet contracted delivery dates. There is no assurance that contracted delivery dates will be met even after careful planning and mitigation by the Company.
Any failure to execute on projects for client partners in a timely and cost-effective manner risks the Company being held liable for contractual penalties and payment of liquidated damages and could have an adverse impact on the Company’s reputation and ability to secure new projects.
Information technology and information security is of critical importance to Enerflex
The Company is dependent upon the availability, capacity, reliability, and security of information technology infrastructure, to conduct its daily operations. Information technology assets and protocols become increasingly important to Enerflex as it continues to expand internationally, provide information technology access to global personnel, develop web-based applications to monitor products, and improve its business software applications. If any such programs or systems were to fail or create erroneous information in the Company’s hardware or software network infrastructure, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business activities and reputation.
Enerflex may be threatened by or subjected to cyberattack risks such as cyber-fraud, viruses, malware infections, or social engineering activities like phishing and employee impersonation, which may result in adverse outcomes including, but not limited to, the exposure of sensitive data, disruption of operations, and diminished operating results. In recent years, cyberattacks have become more prevalent and much harder to detect and defend against. These threats may arise from a variety of sources, all ranging in sophistication from an individual hacker to alleged state-sponsored attacks. A cyberattack may be generic, or it may be custom crafted to target the specific information technology used by Enerflex. The occurrence of any such cyberattacks could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, operating results, and reputation.
The Company may be targeted by parties using fraudulent spoof and phishing emails to misappropriate Enerflex information, or the information of client partners and suppliers, or to introduce viruses or other malware through “trojan horse” programs into computer networks of the Company, its client partners, or suppliers. These phishing emails may appear upon a cursory review to be legitimate emails sent by an employee or representative
47
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
of Enerflex, its client partners, or suppliers. If a member of Enerflex or a member of one of its client partners or suppliers fails to recognize that a phishing email has been sent or received and responds to or forwards the phishing email, the attack could corrupt the computer networks and/or access confidential information of Enerflex, its client partners, employees, and/or suppliers, including passwords, through email or downloaded malware. In addition to spoof and phishing emails, network and storage applications may be subject to unauthorized access by hackers or breached due to operator error, malfeasance, or other system disruptions. It is often difficult to anticipate or immediately detect such incidents and the damage caused by them.
Security measures, such as incident monitoring, vulnerability testing, tabletop exercises, response planning, and employee education and training have been implemented to protect the Company’s information security and network infrastructure. However, the Company’s mitigation measures cannot provide absolute security, and its information technology infrastructure may be vulnerable to criminal cyberattacks or data security incidents due to employee or client partner error, malfeasance, or other vulnerabilities. Additionally, Enerflex is reliant on third-party service providers for certain information technology applications. While the Company conducts due diligence and believes that these third-party service providers have adequate security measures, there can be no assurance that these security measures will prevent any cyber events or computer viruses from impacting the applications upon which Enerflex relies.
If Enerflex’s information technology systems were to fail and the Company was unable to recover in a timely way, the Company might be unable to fulfill critical business functions, which could damage the Company’s reputation and have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and results of operations. A breach of Enerflex’s information security measures or controls could result in losses of material or confidential information, reputational consequences, financial damages, breaches of privacy laws, damage to assets, safety issues, operational downtime or delays, and revenue losses. The significance of any such event is difficult to quantify but may in certain circumstances be material to the Company and could have adverse effects on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
See “Sustainability – Governance – Cybersecurity and Data Privacy” for details of Enerflex’s global cybersecurity program.
Reliance on contractors and sub-contractors exposes Enerflex to risk
Where appropriate, Enerflex may partner with third-party contractors to support project execution and delivery of products and services, and to carry out the operation and maintenance of equipment. These partnerships are essential for the Company’s success, but they introduce significant risks to the cost, quality, and on-time completion of projects, as the Company cannot directly control the actions of the third-party contractors making the mitigation of these risks challenging. While the Company undertakes due diligence of all potential contractors, they may nevertheless fail to meet the quality standards expected by the Company or its client partners, fail to properly maintain required operational licences, or face labour or supply chain disruptions that impede their ability to properly perform their obligations, any of which might give rise to project delays and cost overruns or damage the Company’s reputation. The Company could suffer similar adverse impacts if there is a
48
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
breakdown of the Company’s relationship with a contractor or a contractor suffers financial distress or failure. Enerflex may not be able to engage replacement third-party contractors in a timely manner, on similar terms or at all. There is the additional risk that contractors use the knowledge, skills and relationships developed alongside Enerflex to compete with the Company in future, resulting in loss of future opportunities.
Should any third-party contractor be unable, or unwilling for any reason, to meet its contractual obligations to the Company, or become insolvent, bankrupt, or enter liquidation, any such events could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
Enerflex endeavors to mitigate these risks through appropriate contracting strategies with contractors, but Enerflex remains responsible to its client partners for the work performed. Should any of these risks materialize, they could expose Enerflex to liability and otherwise adversely impact the financial and operational results of the business.
Enerflex’s operations are subject to foreign exchange risk
In the normal course of operations, the Company is exposed to movements in the CAD, USD, the Australian dollar, the Brazilian real, and the ARS. The types of foreign exchange risk and the Company’s related risk management strategies are set out below. Further information on Enerflex’s hedging activities is provided in Note 29 “Financial Instruments” of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Transaction Exposure – The functional currency of the Parent Company and Canadian operations is CAD. The operations are primarily exposed to changes in the exchange rates on financial instruments denominated in USD.
The Parent Company has intercompany loans, receivables and payables denominated in the USD. The Canadian operations of the Company source the majority of its products and major components from the USA. Consequently, reported costs of inventory and the transaction prices charged to customers for equipment and parts are affected by the relative strength of the CAD. The Company also sells compression and processing packages in foreign currencies, primarily the USD.
Most of Enerflex’s international orders are manufactured in the USA if the contract is denominated in USD. This minimizes the Company’s foreign currency exposure on these contracts. The Company identifies and hedges all significant transactional currency risks and has implemented a hedging policy, applicable primarily to the Canadian domiciled business units, with the objective of securing the margins earned on awarded contracts denominated in currencies other than the CAD. In addition, the Company may hedge input costs that are paid in a currency other than the home currency of the subsidiary executing the contract. If the CAD weakens by five percent, the Company could experience foreign exchange gains recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings of less than $1 million on its USD denominated financial instruments.
49
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Translation Exposure – The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to translation risk of monetary items denominated in a currency different from their functional currency. The currencies with the most significant impact are the CAD, USD, and the ARS.
The functional currency of the Parent Company is CAD while the functional currency of the majority of the Company's subsidiaries is USD. The Parent Company is therefore exposed to fluctuations of the CAD against the USD on its net investment in the USD functional subsidiaries. The Company hedges this exposure via a net investment hedge by designating a portion of the Company's USD borrowings in the Parent Company as a hedging instrument. Management has determined that the Company's hedging relationships remain effective.
If the CAD were to weaken by 5%, the Company could experience additional foreign exchange losses on its USD borrowings in the Parent Company of approximately $3 million.
The functional currency of the Argentinian operation is the USD. The operation has cash and cash equivalents, and certain financial instruments denominated in its local currency ARS. With the ongoing devaluation of the ARS, caused by high inflation, the Company is at risk for foreign exchange losses on its financial instruments denominated in ARS. The Company has implemented cash management strategies to mitigate foreign exchange losses due to further devaluation of the ARS, primarily by minimizing cash available to sustain operations. If the ARS weakens by five percent, the Company could experience additional foreign exchange losses of $2 million on its ARS denominated financial instruments.
The Financial Statements of the Company are presented in USD. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD using the exchange rates in effect at the reporting dates. Unrealized translation gains and losses are deferred and included in accumulated other comprehensive losses.
Net earnings from foreign currencies are translated into USD each period at average exchange rates for the period. As a result, fluctuations in the value of the USD relative to these other currencies will impact reported net earnings.
Inefficient information technology systems and infrastructure can impede Enerflex’s operations
The Company is dependent upon information technology systems and infrastructure, and the ability to expand and continually update this infrastructure, to conduct its daily operations. As these systems and infrastructure mature, costs of maintenance and repair rise. There is a risk of the Company becoming overly reliant on manual processes, which could result in operational inefficiencies and disruptions, errors in data and calculations, and a lack of optimization of data to support decision making throughout the Company’s global operations. Outdated infrastructure impacts the Company’s business agility, as it may be incompatible with, or may not have the capacity to support, the leveraging of new technologies required to meet changing market or customer needs. See also “Risk Factors - Industry specific risks - Customer needs and expectations are evolving”.
Any one or more of these risks has the potential to adversely impact the Company’s business, operations, financial position, and reputation. Mitigating these risks requires ongoing investment in the development, adoption, and integration of advanced applications
50
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
or systems, which requires significant investments of capital and resources. This could further adversely impact the Company’s financial position.

Restrictions on Paying Dividends
There are many factors which may restrict the ability of the Company to declare dividends and to make a dividend payment to shareholders. The Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and the 2031 Notes contain provisions which could limit the payment of dividends if certain financial covenants are not met or restrict payments if there is an event of default, a continuing event of default, or if an event of default would be caused by paying a dividend. As at December 31, 2025, the Company was in full compliance with these covenants and no event of default has occurred, is continuing, or will occur by paying a dividend. The declaration and payment of dividends are also subject to complying with the solvency tests set out in the CBCA. See “Risk Factors”.
CREDIT RATINGS
Credit ratings are forward-looking opinions about the ability of an issuer to meet its financial obligations when they become due. They are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of credit quality in respect of an issuance of securities. Credit ratings are not an opinion or comment on the market price of a security or the suitability of a security for a particular investor, nor a recommendation to buy, hold, or sell a particular security. There is no assurance that a rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be changed or withdrawn entirely if, in the opinion of the rating agency that issued the rating, such a change or withdrawal is appropriate.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
During the past three years, Enerflex paid rating fees to Standard & Poor’s (S&P), Moody’s Investor Service (Moody’s) and Fitch Rating’s Inc. (Fitch) and Enerflex reasonably expects that on-going annual payments will be made to these agencies for rating services in the future.
The table below shows the S&P, Moody’s, and Fitch ratings for Enerflex’s corporate credit and the 2031 Notes.

S&P
The S&P ratings range from a high of AAA to a low of D. The “BB” tier is comprised of BB+, BB and BB-. A rating of BB is the fifth highest of ten tiers. The addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) designation after a rating indicates the relative standing within the respective rating tier and the lack of any such designation indicates a ranking in the middle of the tier. An obligor rated BB is less vulnerable in the near term than other lower-rated obligors. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties and exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments. S&P first assigned its corporate credit rating on March 17, 2022, and assigned its rating on the 2031 Notes on December 1, 2025. On December 6, 2024, S&P raised the corporate credit rating to BB from BB-, also revising the Company’s outlook from positive to stable.
Moody’s
Moody’s ratings range from a high of Aaa to a low of C. The numerical modifiers 1, 2 or 3 are used to indicate ranking within a particular tier, with 1 being the highest and 3 being the lowest. A rating of “Ba” is the fifth highest of nine tiers. Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk. A rating of “B” is the sixth highest of nine tiers. Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk. Moody’s assigned its corporate credit rating on October 3, 2022 and its rating on the 2031 Notes on December 1, 2025. Also on December 1, 2025, Moody’s raised the corporate credit rating from Ba3 to Ba2.
Fitch
The Fitch ratings range from a high of AAA to a low of D. The “BB” tier is comprised of BB+, BB, and BB-. A rating of BB is the fifth highest of eleven tiers. The addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) designation after a rating indicates the relative standing within the respective rating tier and the lack of any such designation indicates a ranking in the middle of the tier. Ratings of BB indicate an elevated vulnerability to default risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial flexibility exists that supports the servicing of financial commitments. Fitch first assigned its corporate credit rating on March 16, 2022 and assigned its rating on the 2031 Notes on

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
December 1, 2025. On November 11, 2025, Fitch raised the corporate credit rating from BB- to BB with a stable outlook.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Enerflex Board of Directors as at December 31, 2025 was comprised of ten (10) members, nine (9) of whom were independent, as defined by National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, National Policy 58-201 – Disclosure Standards, and NI 52-110 – Audit Committees. Mr. Mahoney is not independent because he is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Enerflex.
The Board has three standing committees:
From time-to-time, the Board may establish a special committee, as was the case in 2025, when the Board established a special committee with the mandate to conduct a search to identify candidates for, and assist the Board in selecting, the next President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
55
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
All of the standing committees are, and the special committee was, comprised entirely of independent directors.
All of the Company’s directors’ terms of office will expire at the earliest of their resignation or retirement, the close of the next annual shareholder meeting called for the election of directors, or on such other date as they may be removed according to the CBCA. The next annual shareholder meeting is scheduled for May 6, 2026. Each director will devote the amount of time as is required to fulfill his or her obligations as a director to the Company. The Company’s officers are appointed by, and serve, at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.
The Board-approved Director Retirement Policy outlines the term and age limits for current and future independent directors. Pursuant to the Director Retirement Policy, directors must tender their resignation at 72 years of age or on the 12th anniversary of their initial election or appointment to the Board, to be effective on the date of the then next meeting of Enerflex shareholders at which directors are to be elected. Although the Board retains discretion to waive the application of the Director Retirement Policy, having regard to the specific skills and expertise of a director, the needs of the Board, and the best interests of Enerflex, the Board is of the view that imposing such limits is an important mechanism for ensuring Board renewal.
As at December 31, 2025, the directors and executive officers of the Company collectively owned, controlled, or directed, directly or indirectly, an aggregate 650,182 Enerflex Common Shares, representing approximately 0.53 per cent of the issued and outstanding Enerflex Common Shares.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
chief executive officer, or chief financial officer of the relevant company and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer, or chief financial officer.
PENALTIES OR SANCTIONS
None of Enerflex’s directors, executive officers of the Company, or shareholders holding a sufficient number of securities of the Company to affect materially the control of the Company, have been subject to:
BANKRUPTCIES
Except as disclosed in this AIF, no current director as at the date of this AIF, executive officer of the Company, or shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of the Company to affect materially the control of the Company:
On March 4, 2020, Mr. Tyree was appointed Executive Chairman of Extraction Oil and Gas Inc. (Extraction), an independent oil and gas company. On June 14, 2020, Extraction and its wholly owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. On July 30, 2020, Extraction filed a proposed Plan of Reorganization (the Extraction Plan) and related Disclosure Statement describing the Extraction Plan and the solicitation of votes to approve the same from certain of Extraction’s creditors. Subsequently, on October 22, 2020 and November 5, 2020, Extraction filed first and second amendments, respectively, to the Disclosure Statement. The hearing to consider approval of the Disclosure Statement was held on November 6, 2020. On November 6, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement and Extraction commenced a solicitation process to receive votes on the Extraction Plan.
59
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Pursuant to the terms of the Extraction Plan and as described in the Disclosure Statement, Extraction also commenced a rights offering, which was backstopped by certain holders of Senior Notes. On November 6, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved the Backstop Commitment Agreement, which provided a commitment of $200 million. The hearing on the confirmation of the Extraction Plan, in which the Extraction Plan was approved, was held on December 23, 2020. On January 20, 2021, the Extraction Plan became effective in accordance with its terms, Extraction emerged from Chapter 11, and Mr. Tyree was appointed Chief Executive Officer and a director of the reorganized entity.
CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS
Investors should be aware that some of the directors and officers of the Company are directors and officers of other private and public companies. Some of these private and public companies may, from time to time, be involved in business transactions or banking relationships which may create situations in which conflicts might arise. Any such conflicts shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures and requirements of the relevant provisions of the CBCA and Company policies, including the duty of such directors and officers to disclose any conflicts and to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in or subject to lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings that seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage or other losses, punitive damages, civil penalties, or injunctive or declaratory relief. Some lawsuits, claims, and legal proceedings involve acquired or disposed assets with respect to which a third party, the Company, or its subsidiary retains liability or indemnifies the other party for conditions that existed prior to the transaction. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, Enerflex and its subsidiaries accrue reserves for outstanding lawsuits, claims, and proceedings when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the liability can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not currently expect that any of the outstanding lawsuits, claims, or legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on Enerflex, including its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Although Enerflex’s expectations and estimates are based on information known about the legal matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters, the results of any outstanding lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurance that monetary damages, fines, penalties, or injunctive relief resulting from adverse judgments or settlements in some or all of these outstanding lawsuits, claims, or legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on Enerflex, including its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will reassess the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available in these proceedings or otherwise.
As previously disclosed, in response to a fatal attack at an adjacent site in Q2 2024, Enerflex declared Force Majeure on an international ES project, suspended activity at the project site, and demobilized its personnel. Enerflex subsequently received notice from its customer purporting to terminate the project contract and commencing arbitration proceedings against Enerflex alleging
60
Enerflex Ltd. Annual Information Form
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
breach of the project contract. In Q4 2024, Enerflex delivered notice to the customer terminating the project contract. As part of the arbitration proceedings, Enerflex has brought a counterclaim against the customer to recover amounts owing to Enerflex following Enerflex’s termination of the project contract. Pursuant to the rules for arbitration agreed between Enerflex and its customer, the content of the proceedings is confidential and not otherwise publicly available.
In Q2 2025, the customer filed its Statement of Case in the arbitration asserting various claims against and seeking material monetary damages from Enerflex and in Q3 2025 the Company filed its Statement of Defence and Counterclaim against the customer. In Q4 2025, the customer filed its Statement of Reply and Defence to Counterclaim which the Company plans to respond to within the time parameters required under the arbitration. Enerflex disputes the customer’s claims and asserts that it acted in accordance with the project contract and that its declaration of Force Majeure and its subsequent termination of the project were proper. Given the early stage of the arbitration and the inherent uncertainty of arbitration, the final outcome of the arbitration is unknown. While the Company is pursuing recovery of amounts it believes are owed, it is possible that the Company may not prevail on its counterclaims or in defending against the customer’s claims. In those circumstances, there can be no assurance that the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on Enerflex, including on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Enerflex intends to continue vigorously defending itself against the customer’s claims while pursuing its own counterclaims.
As at December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the remaining assets associated with the project on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position was $161 million. Notwithstanding its termination of the project contract, Enerflex maintains a $31 million Letter of Credit in support of its obligation under the project contract. Enerflex would view any drawing of the financial security in the prevailing circumstances as improper and would be considered as an additional amount owed by the customer.
INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS
There were no material interests, direct or indirect, of directors or executive officers of the Company, of any person or company who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over more than 10 percent of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, or any known associate or affiliate of such persons, in any transaction within the three most recently completed financial years or during the current financial year that has materially affected or would materially affect the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
EXPERTS
Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s external auditor, is independent in the context of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Alberta and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility may be extended annually on or before the anniversary date with the consent of the lenders.
The Revolving Credit Facility is secured and ranks senior to the 2031 Notes. The Company is required to maintain certain covenants on its Revolving Credit Facility. As at December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. At December 31, 2025, the Company had a total of approximately $193 million cash drawings against its Revolving Credit Facility.
2031 Notes Indenture
On December 11, 2025, the Company entered into an indenture pursuant to which it jointly with the other guarantors, and severally, unconditionally guarantees the obligations of Enerflex Inc. under the 2031 Notes (the 2031 Notes Indenture).
The Company is required to maintain certain covenants under the 2031 Notes Indenture. As at December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
The foregoing summary of the Revolving Credit Facility and 2031 Notes Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2031 Notes Indenture, respectively, copies of which may be found under the electronic profile of the Company on SEDAR+ and EDGAR.

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. In this AIF, these non-IFRS measures include ES bookings and ES book-to-bill ratio. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings or any other measures of performance under IFRS. ES bookings and ES book-to-bill ratio do not have a directly comparable IFRS measure.
Additional information regarding the non-IFRS measures referred to in this AIF are set out in the “Backlog and Bookings” section of this AIF.
Additional disclosures for such non-IFRS measures are contained in the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is available on Enerflex’s website and under the electronic profile of the Company on SEDAR+ and EDGAR, and which are incorporated by reference in this AIF.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
TERMS OF REFERENCE
ORGANIZATION
The board of directors (the “Board”) of Enerflex Ltd. (the “Corporation”) has established an Audit Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), which shall consist of at least three directors, each of whom shall be independent. Members of the Committee shall be considered independent if they meet the test of independence contained in applicable securities legislation and the rules of any stock exchange on which securities of the Corporation are listed and posted for trading. All Committee members shall have a sufficient level of financial literacy to understand the issues to be raised in the Corporation’s financial statements, and at least one Committee member shall have accounting or related financial expertise.
The Committee shall review and reassess these terms of reference at least annually or, where circumstances warrant, at such shorter intervals as the Committee deems appropriate or necessary, to determine if further additions, deletions or other amendments are required. Members of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board.
Principal duties of the Committee include oversight responsibility for: financial statements and related disclosures, reports to shareholders and other related communications, establishment of appropriate financial policies, the integrity of accounting systems and internal controls, approval of all audit and non-audit services provided by the external auditor, consultation with the auditor independent of management and overseeing the work of the external auditor, and monitoring and directing, as appropriate, the activities of the Internal Audit group.
STATEMENT OF POLICY
The Committee will provide assistance to the Board in fulfilling their oversight responsibility relating to the integrity of the Corporation’s financial statements and the financial reporting process, the systems of internal accounting, internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), financial controls, the annual external audit of the Corporation’s financial statements and ICFR, and any legal compliance or ethics programs as established by management and the Board. In so doing, it is the responsibility of the Committee to maintain free and open communication between the Committee, the external auditor and management of the Corporation. In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention with full access to all books, records, facilities, and personnel of the Corporation and the power to retain and pay outside counsel, or other experts it determines necessary to carry out its duties.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCESSES
The primary responsibility of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Corporation’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board and report the results of their activities to the Board. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Corporation’s financial statements and for the appropriateness of the accounting principles and reporting policies that are used by the

Corporation. The external auditor is responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Committee, in carrying out its responsibilities, believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible, in order to best react to changing conditions and circumstances. The Committee should take the appropriate actions to set the overall corporate “tone” for quality financial reporting, sound business risk practices, and ethical behaviour.
The following shall be the principal recurring processes of the Committee in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. The processes are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the Committee may supplement them as appropriate.
