Enerflex Ltd. (TSX: EFX) (NYSE: EFXT) (“Enerflex” or the “Company”)
announced that it has delivered a notice of partial redemption of
its 9.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”).
All amounts presented are in U.S. Dollar (“USD”)
unless otherwise stated.
Partial Redemption of Senior Secured
Notes
Enerflex has issued a notice of partial
redemption for $62.5 million (or 10% of the aggregate principal
amount originally issued) of its Notes. The redemption will be
completed on October 11, 2024 (the “Redemption Date”) at a
redemption price of 103% of the principal amount of the notes being
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding,
the Redemption Date. The redemption of the Notes will be funded
with available liquidity, which includes approximately $100 million
of cash and cash equivalents as at September 30, 2024 and the
undrawn portion of Enerflex’s lower cost $800 million revolving
credit facility (the “RCF”).
As at September 30, 2024, Enerflex’s net debt1
balance was approximately $700 million, which reflects gross
debt repayment of approximately $100 million during the third
quarter. Debt repayment during the third quarter was funded through
cash provided by operating activities, including a reduction in net
working capital, and cash balances. Enerflex continues to expect
net working capital movements will be a modest source of cash
during the second half of 2024 and for fiscal 2024.
Management Commentary
“The partial redemption of our Notes reflects
on-going focused efforts to reduce debt, lower net finance costs,
and optimize Enerflex’s debt stack,” said Preet Dhindsa, Enerflex’s
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We are pleased
with the results of these efforts to date and expect to make
further progress in coming quarters. The recent extension and
expansion of the RCF provides ample liquidity to support our global
business and we remain on track to reach our target leverage
bank-adjusted net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.5x to 2.0x.”
Marc Rossiter, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Enerflex commented, “Since completing the acquisition of
Exterran approximately two years ago, we have effectively
integrated the two companies and are generating solid free cash
flow. We see a visible path for Enerflex to increase shareholder
returns and look forward to providing further updates to
stakeholders in coming months.”
