Enerflex Extends Credit, Reports Soon
Enerflex Extends $800 Million Revolving Credit Facility, Sets Q2 Results Release Date
Anonymous
Enerflex Ltd. (TSX: EFX, NYSE: EFXT) has locked in its $800 million revolving credit facility for three more years, extending the maturity to June 30, 2029. The amended agreement, signed June 24, 2026, also raises the accordion limit — the amount by which the facility can be expanded — from $50 million to $200 million, giving the company far more room to borrow if needed, according to Sault Star.
The company also confirmed that its second-quarter 2026 financial results will be released at market open on August 6, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, Enerflex had drawn just $162 million of the $800 million available — leaving over $638 million untouched, per Ottawa Sun.
A Balance Sheet Rebuilt from Scratch Since 2022
This extension is the latest step in a dramatic financial turnaround. When Enerflex acquired Exterran Corporation in October 2022, the deal loaded the company with debt. Its bank-adjusted net debt-to-EBITDA ratio — a measure of how much debt the company carries versus earnings — hit 3.3x. That number is now 0.9x, according to Toronto Sun.
Since 2023, Enerflex has repaid roughly $550 million in long-term debt. By Q1 2026, total net debt stood at $505 million. The company posted revenue of $584 million and adjusted EBITDA of $137 million in that quarter. EPS came in at $0.35, beating analyst forecasts of $0.27, per Montreal Gazette.
CFO Says Extension Secures Financial Flexibility Going Forward
CFO Preet Dhindsa said the extension "solidifies Enerflex's financial flexibility" and lets the company focus on "disciplined capital allocation." The company also holds a separate $70 million unsecured credit facility. That facility is backed by performance security guarantees from Export Development Canada, according to Brantford Expositor.
Royal Bank of Canada serves as the lead agent for the syndicated credit facility. All other lenders in the syndicate renewed their commitments. The facility can be increased by up to $200 million at Enerflex's request, subject to lender approval, per Chatham Daily News.
Analysts See Data Centers and Energy Transition as Growth Catalysts
RBC Capital analyst Keith Mackey raised his price target on Enerflex to $32.00, calling the company a "Best Idea." He pointed to Enerflex's push into data center power generation and LNG export infrastructure as key long-term drivers. Six analysts covering the stock maintain a consensus "Buy" rating, with an average price target around $30.00, per Stratford Beacon Herald.
CIBC holds a Neutral rating but raised its target to CAD $25.50. Management has identified a $20 billion global market for modular power solutions, especially for data centers. Enerflex carries a combined backlog of $2.6 billion across its Engineered Systems and Energy Infrastructure segments, per Fort Saskatchewan Record.
Low Debt Opens Door to Dividends and Buybacks
With leverage well below the company's own target range of 1.5x to 2.0x, investors are watching for signs of increased shareholder returns. Enerflex currently pays a dividend of CAD $0.0425 per share. Analysts say the clean balance sheet creates room to raise that dividend or buy back shares under its Normal Course Issuer Bid, according to Ontario Farmer.
Not all signals are positive. In Q1 2026, free cash flow fell to just CAD $15 million after a $63 million working capital investment. Some analysts warn that heavy capital commitments into 2027–2029 could strain liquidity if natural gas markets slow. The stock trades at roughly 37x earnings, which skeptics say already prices in future growth, per Paris Star Online.
