Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Enerflex Ltd.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Enerflex Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements“). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company‘s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company‘s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Acquisition of Exterran Corporation | ||
Description of the Matter | During 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Exterran Corporation (“Exterran”) for total purchase consideration of $222.6 million, as disclosed in note 3c, 5 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements. The preliminary purchase price allocation includes goodwill of $139.4 million and customer relationship intangible assets of $50.9 million at the acquisition date. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded based on preliminary estimates of fair value, and the values are subject to change based on the finalization of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Auditing the Company’s preliminary allocation of purchase price for its acquisition of Exterran was determined to be a critical audit matter as it involved significant estimation uncertainty and judgement in evaluating the inputs and assumptions used in determining the fair value of the customer relationship intangible assets as at the date of acquisition. The significant estimation was primarily due to a high degree of management judgement in determining key assumptions that include revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, operating margins and discount rates. Changes to these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the customer relationship intangible assets. | |
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | To test the fair value of the Company’s acquired customer relationship intangible assets, our audit procedures included, among others, with assistance of our valuation specialists, evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s valuation methodology and significant assumptions used. We evaluated the reasonableness of significant assumptions and estimates used by management, including revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates and operating margins by considering the past performance of the acquired business, comparing projections to historical performance and to available external data. In addition, we performed sensitivity analyses on significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the acquired customer relationship intangible assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. | |
Evaluation of goodwill impairment | ||
Description of the Matter | At December 31, 2022, the Company’s goodwill was $679.4 million. As disclosed in notes 3f, 5, 15 and 35 to the consolidated financial statements, for the purposes of its impairment assessment, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units, which the Company has determined to be its operating segments. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or at any time an indicator of impairment exists. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company performed its impairment tests which resulted in the Company recording $48 million of goodwill impairment allocated to its Canada operating segment. No impairment was recorded in the other operating segments. Subsequent to the acquisition of Exterran on October 13, 2022, the Company reorganized its reporting structure and changed the composition of its operating segments. The Company then reassigned goodwill to the new operating segments using a relative fair value allocation. |

Auditing the recoverable amounts in the Company’s goodwill impairment tests and the relative fair value used to reassign goodwill was determined to be a critical audit matter as it involved significant estimation uncertainty and judgement primarily due to the sensitivity of the respective operating segments’ estimated recoverable amounts and relative fair values to underlying significant assumptions. Significant assumptions included cash flow projections, discount rates, revenue growth rate, operating margins and terminal growth rate, which are affected by expectations about future market and economic conditions. | ||
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | To test the estimated recoverable amounts of the Company’s operating segments and the relative fair values used to reassign goodwill, our audit procedures included, among others, assessing management’s methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. We involved our valuation specialists to assess the Company’s impairment model, valuation methodology applied, and certain significant assumptions, including the discount rate and terminal growth rate. We compared commodity price forecasts used in management’s estimated bookings calculation to external industry outlook data. We also assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses on significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the recoverable amounts of the operating segments that would result from changes in the assumptions. | |
Measurement of revenue recognized from the supply of engineered systems | ||
Description of the Matter | For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $953.1 million of revenue from the supply of engineered systems. As described in notes 3q, 5 and 24 to the consolidated financial statements, revenues from the supply of engineered systems typically involve engineering, design, manufacture, installation and start-up of equipment recognized on apercentage-of-completion | |
Auditing the Company’s measurement of the revenue recognized related to engineered systems projects where the Company had not fulfilled all performance obligations of the contract’s scope of work at December 31, 2022 was determined to be a critical audit matter as it involved especially subjective auditor judgement because the percentage-of-completion | ||
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | To test the estimate of the measurement of revenue recognized based on the percentage of completion accounting, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating a sample of contractual arrangements, including pricing and billing terms, change orders and terms and conditions impacting revenue recognition, if any. For a sample of projects, we obtained an understanding of the projects’ performance throughout the year and at year-end through inquiries with project managers from the contract project team. We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s assumptions |

for estimated costs to complete by comparing the key inputs in the initial budget to actual costs incurred, and assessing trends based on our knowledge of similar projects. We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s historical assumptions of estimated costs to complete by comparing previous cost estimation forecasts to actual results. |

The significant associates and joint ventures held by the Company are as follows:
• | 45 percent interest in Roska DBO Inc. (“Roska DBO”). |
• | 65 percent interest in a joint venture in Brazil. |
The consolidated statements of earnings reflect the Company’s share of the results of operations of associates and joint ventures. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and associates are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture.
The Company’s share of profits from associates and joint ventures is shown on the face of the consolidated statements of earnings. This is the profit attributable to equity holders of the associates and joint venture partners and, therefore, is profit after tax and
non-controlling
interests in the subsidiaries of the associates and joint ventures.(b) | Foreign Currency Translation |
In the accounts of individual subsidiaries, transactions in currencies other than the individual subsidiaries’ functional currency are recorded at the prevailing rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. At
year-end,
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date.Non-monetary
items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.Non-monetary
assets and liabilities measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the rates of exchange at the date the fair value was determined.The assets and liabilities on the statements of financial position of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Canadian dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the reporting date. The statements of earnings of foreign subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates for the reporting period. Exchange differences arising on the translation of net assets are taken to accumulated other comprehensive income.
All foreign exchange gains and losses are taken to the consolidated statements of earnings with the exception of exchange differences arising on monetary assets and liabilities that form part of the Company’s net investment in subsidiaries. These are taken directly to other comprehensive income until the disposal of the foreign subsidiary at which time the unrealized gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings.
On the disposal of a foreign subsidiary, accumulated exchange differences are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as a component of the gain or loss on disposal.
(c) | Business Combinations |
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at fair value on the date of the acquisition. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in selling and administrative expenses, except for those associated with the issuance of debt, which are included in the initial carrying amount of the liability. Results of operations of businesses acquired are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Enerflex Ltd. | 2022 Annual Report | F-13 |
(d) | Property, Plant and Equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost comprises the purchase price or construction cost and any costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets and commences when the assets are ready for intended use.
Asset Class | Estimated Useful Life Range | |
Buildings | 5 to 20 years | |
Equipment | 2 to 20 years |
Major renewals and improvements are capitalized when they are expected to provide future economic benefit. When significant components of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company derecognizes the replaced part, and recognizes the new part with its own associated useful life and depreciation. No depreciation is charged on land or assets under construction. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.
T
he carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from derecognition of property, plant and equipment is included in the consolidated statements of earnings when the item is derecognized.
Each asset’s estimated useful life, residual value, and method of depreciation
ar
e reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each year end, or when factors and circumstances suggest a different useful life for the asset.(e) | Energy Infrastructure Assets |
Energy infrastructure assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally between
five and 20 years.
When the Company is responsible for major maintenance and overhauls, the actual overhaul cost is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the overhaul, generally between two and five years. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Each asset’s estimated useful life, residual value, and method of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each
year-end,
or when factors and circumstances suggest a different useful life for the asset.(f) | Goodwill |
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill allocated to a group of cash-generating units (“CGUs”) is reviewed for impairment annually, or when there is an indication that
a r
elated group of CGUs may be impaired. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the group of CGUs to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the group of CGUs is less than the carrying amount of the CGUs and related goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.F-14 | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2022 Annual Report |
(g) | Intangible Assets |
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized on a straight-line basis over Management’s best estimate of their expected useful lives. The amortization charge is included in selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings. The expected useful lives and amortization method are reviewed on an annual basis with any change in the useful life or pattern of consumption adjusted at year end. Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Acquired identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Customer relationships, software, and other intangible assets have an estimated useful life range of three to 12 years.
(h) | Impairment of Non-Financial Assets (excluding Goodwill) |
At least annually, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets with finite lives to assess whether there is an indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and itsIn assessing itsthe estimated future cash flows attributable to the asset are discounted to their present value using a
value-in-use.
value-in-use,
pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. A corresponding impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the original carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Any impairment reversal is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings.
(i) | Inventories |
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Serialized inventory is determined on a
first-in,
first-out
basis.Non-serialized
inventory is determined based on a weighted average cost.Cost of equipment, repair and distribution parts, and direct materials, include purchase costs and costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition.
Cost ofincludes cost of direct materials, labour, and an allocation of overheads, based on normal operating capacity. Costs ofrelated to finance leases pertain to the construction of projects that will be accounted for as finance leases. Once the project is completed and enters service the costs will be reclassified to cost of goods sold.
work-in-progress
work-in-progress
Cost of inventories includes the transfer from accumulated other comprehensive income of gains and losses on qualifying cash flow hedges in respect of the purchase of inventory.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventories is estimated to be unrecoverable due to obsolescence, damage, or declining selling prices. Inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. When circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in selling prices, the amount of the write-down previously recorded is reversed.
Enerflex Ltd. | 2022 Annual Report | F-15 |
(j) | Trade Receivables |
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any amounts estimated to be uncollectible. The Company calculates an expected credit loss based on historical experience of bad debts and specific provisions created when there is objective evidence that the collection of the full amount of a receivable is no longer probable under the terms of the original invoice. The amount of this allowance represents Management’s best estimate of expected credit losses. Trade receivables are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible.
(k) | Cash |
Cash includes cash and cash equivalents, which are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(l) | Provisions |
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
(m) | Onerous Contracts |
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
(n) | Employee Future Benefits |
The Company sponsors various defined contribution pension plans, which cover substantially all employees and are funded in accordance with applicable plan and regulatory requirements. Regular contributions are made by the Company to the employees’ individual accounts, which are administered by a plan trustee, in accordance with the plan document. The actual cost of providing benefits through defined contribution pension and the 401(k) matched savings plans is charged to earnings in the period in respect of which contributions become payable.
(o) | Share-Based Payments |
Equity-Settled Share-Based Payments
The Company offers a Stock Option Plan to key employees, measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in Note 25.
The fair value of equity-settled share-based payments is expensed over a five-year vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. Stock options have a seven-year expiry and are exercisable at the designated common share price, which is determined by the average of the market price of the Company’s shares on the five days preceding the date of the grant. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
Cash-Settled Share-Based Payments
The Company offers Deferred Share Unit (“DSU”), Performance Share Unit (“PSU”), Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”), and Cash Performance Target (“CPT”) plans to certain employees. The Company also offers the DSU plan to
non-employee
directors. For each cash-settled share-based payment plan, a liability is recognized at the fair value of the liability. At the end of each reporting
period until the liability is settled, and at the date of settlement, the fair value of the liability is remeasured, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings.F-16 | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2022 Annual Report |
The Company also offers a Phantom Share Entitlement (“PSE”) plan to certain employees of affiliates located in Australia and the UAE. PSEs are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date and expensed over a five-year vesting period and expire on the seventh anniversary. The exercise price of each PSE equals the average of the market price of the Company’s shares on the five days preceding the date of the grant. At the end of each reporting period until the liability is settled, and at the date of settlement, the fair value of the liability is remeasured, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. The award entitlements for increases in the share trading value of the Company are to be paid to the recipient in cash upon exercise.
(p) | Leases |
Company as a Lessee
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
• | The contract involves the use of an identified asset, either explicitly or implicitly, and whether the supplier has a substantive substitution right for the asset; |
• | The Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period; and |
• | The Company has the right to direct the use of the identified asset. |
The Company determines if a contractual arrangement is a lease at the inception of the contract term. The Company has identified leases for the following asset types: land and buildings (including manufacturing facilities, office space, and rental accommodations) and equipment (including vehicles, office equipment, and shop equipment). The Company recognizes aasset and a lease liability to reflect the benefit the Company obtains from the underlying asset in the lease and the requirement to pay the amounts included in the lease contract, respectively.
right-of-use
Theasset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to decommission the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received. Theasset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, where appropriate.
right-of-use
right-of-use
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of remaining lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability include fixed payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, and amounts owing under purchase or termination options, if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise these options. If the lease contains an extension option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, all payments in the renewal period are also included in determining the lease liability.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amount of the liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension, or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying value of theasset or is recorded on the consolidated statements of earnings if the carrying amount of theasset has been reduced to zero.

leases. Lease payments associated with these leases will be recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain leases include both lease andnon-lease
components, which are generally accounted for separately. For certain equipment leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach to effectively account for the leaseright-of-use
Company as a Lessor
Leases in which the Company is the lessor are assessed upon commencement and are classified as either an operating lease or a finance lease. An operating lease does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of the leased asset to the customer.
Enerflex Ltd. | 2022 Annual Report | F-17 |
Lease payments from operating leases are recorded as income on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. A finance lease exists when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee.
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as finance lease receivables. Finance leases are initially recognized at amounts equal to the net investment in the lease, determined to be the fair value of the underlying asset, or, if lower, the present value of the lease payments discounted using a market rate of interest. Payments that are part of the leasing arrangement are divided between a reduction in the finance lease receivable and finance lease income. Finance lease income is recognized to produce a constant rate of return on the Company’s investment in the lease and is included in revenues.
(q) | Revenue Recognition |
Revenue is recognized as the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring promised goods or services to customers, regardless of when payment is received. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties, and may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Variable amounts are recorded using either the “expected value approach” or the “most likely outcome approach,” as determined upon initial recognition of the contract, and are reassessed at each reporting period. The expected value approach measures variable consideration by probability weighting all the potential outcomes. The most likely outcome approach measures variable consideration as Management’s best estimate of the variable component. In estimating variable consideration, the Company reviews any potential for returns, refunds, and other similar obligations. For contracts containing multiple performance obligations, the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled is allocated to individual performance obligations proportionately based on the stand-alone selling price.
Energy Infrastructure
Revenue from energy infrastructure assets is recognized in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement with the customer on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Payments are typically required on a monthly basis with no unusual payment terms. Certain rental contracts contain an option for the customer to purchase the assets at the end of the rental period. Should the customer exercise this option to purchase, revenue from the sale of the equipment is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Revenue from contracts that have been classified as finance leases relating to existing or
pre-owned
equipment, are recorded as Energy Infrastructure revenue. At the inception of a contract, all leases are classified as either an operating or finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Whether a lease is an operating or finance lease depends on the substance of the transaction rather than the form of the contract. Examples of situations, which typically would lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease, include but are not limited to:a) | the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term; |
b) | the lessee has the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable for it to be reasonably certain, at the inception date, that the option will be exercised; |
c) | the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset even if title is not transferred; |
d) | at the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; and |
e) | the underlying asset is of such a specialised nature that only the lessee can use it without major modifications. |
At the commencement of these finance leases, the Company recognizes revenue and a finance lease receivable equal to the net investment in the lease. Finance income is recognized in Energy Infrastructure revenue reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the Company’s net investment in the lease over the lease term.
F-18 | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2022 Annual Report |
After-Market Services
After-Market Services revenues include the sales of parts and equipment, as well as the servicing and maintenance of equipment. For the sale of parts and equipment, revenue is recognized when the transfer of control passes, which is typically at the point of shipping. For servicing and maintenance of equipment, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis based on performance of the contracted-upon service.
Revenue from long-term service contracts is recognized on a stage of completion basis proportionate to the service work that has been performed based on parts and labour service provided. Payments are typically required on a monthly basis or as work is performed, with no unusual payment terms. At the completion of the contract, any remaining profit on the contract is recognized as revenue. Any expected losses on such projects are charged to operations when determined. Long-term service contracts include scheduled milestone maintenance, corrective or crash maintenance, the supply of parts, and the operation of equipment.
Engineered Systems
Revenue from the supply of equipment systems – contracts typically involving engineering, design, manufacture, installation, andbasis proportionate to the costs incurred in the construction of the project. At the completion of the contract, any remaining profit on the contract is recognized as revenue. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately. Revenue from Engineered Systems includes the supply of compression, processing, and electric power equipment, as well as retrofit work and construction on integrated turnkey projects. The Company also provides a warranty on manufactured equipment as part of the standard terms and conditions of the contract. No options are provided for the customer to purchase a warranty separately.
start-up
of equipment – is accounted for as Engineered Systems revenue. Such revenue is recognized on apercentage-of-completion
For Engineered Systems contracts, the Company generally requires customers to pay based on milestones as manufacturing progresses. These milestones are generally structured to keep the Company cash flow-positive. Contracts are also generally structured to ensure the Company is made whole for costs incurred in the event of a cancellation.
Revenue from contracts that have been classified as finance leases for newly manufactured equipment are recorded as Engineered Systems revenue. At the inception of a contract, all leases are classified as either an operating or finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Whether a lease is an operating or finance lease depends on the substance of the transaction rather than the form of the contract. Examples of situations, which typically would lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease include, but are not limited to:
a) | the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term; |
b) | the lessee has the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable for it to be reasonably certain, at the inception date, that the option will be exercised; |
c) | the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset even if title is not transferred; |
d) | at the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; and |
e) | the underlying asset is of such a specialised nature that only the lessee can use it without major modifications. |
Upon commencement of a new finance lease, the Company recognizes revenue, based on the fair value of the underlying assets, and cost of goods sold, determined to be the net book value of those assets, in the consolidated statements of earnings. The finance lease interest portion will be recognized in the Energy Infrastructure product line over the lease term.
Engineered Systems projects are typically completed within a year; however, this timing can be impacted by both internal and external factors such as shop loading and customer delivery requests.
Practical Expedients
The Company has elected to use the practical expedients in IFRS 15paragraphs 63 and 94 with regards to the existence of a significant financing component in the contract and incremental costs of obtaining a contract, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no contracts with a significant financing component that is considered material. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract predominantly relate to commission costs on Engineered Systems projects, which are typically completed within one year. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize commission costs incurred as an asset in the consolidated statements of financial position.
Revenue from contracts with customers
Enerflex Ltd. | 2022 Annual Report | F-19 |
(r) | Financial Instruments |
Financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition of the instrument, plus or minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. For the purposes of measuring financial assets after initial recognition, the Company classifies financial assets as either amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), based on the contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing the financial asset. For the purposes of measuring financial liabilities after initial recognition, the Company classifies all financial liabilities as amortized cost, except certain financial liabilities, such as derivatives, which are classified as FVTPL.
Preferred shares included in Other assets were recorded at fair value at inception and are subsequently measured at amortized cost.
The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
• | Level 1: Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an on-going basis; |
• | Level 2: Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and |
• | Level 3: Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). In these instances, internally developed methodologies are used to determine fair value. |
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and may affect placement within.
The Company has made the following classifications:
• | Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Gains and losses resulting from the periodic revaluation are recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings; |
• | Accounts receivable and preferred shares are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method; and |
• | Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. |
Transaction costs are expensed as incurred for financial instruments classified or designated as FVTPL. Transaction costs related to other financial liabilities are added to the value of the instrument at acquisition and taken into the consolidated statements of earnings using the effective interest rate method.
(s) | Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting |
The Company formally documents its risk management objectives and strategies to manage exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The risk management policy permits the use of certain derivative financial instruments, including forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps, to manage these fluctuations. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes.
Derivative financial instruments are measured at their fair value upon initial recognition and are remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of quoted derivatives is equal to their positive or negative market value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The Company elected to apply hedge accounting for foreign exchange forward contracts for anticipated transactions. These are designated as cash flow hedges. For cash flow hedges, fair value changes of the effective portion of the hedging instrument are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The ineffective portion of the fair value changes is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. Amounts charged to accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated statements of earnings when the hedged transaction affects the consolidated statements of earnings.
F-20 | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2022 Annual Report |
The Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt has been designated as a hedge of net investment in self-sustaining foreign operations. As a result, a portion of unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on the U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt are included in the cumulative translation account in other comprehensive income.
On an ongoing basis, an assessment is made as to whether the designated derivative financial instruments continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged transactions.
(t) | Income Taxes |
Income tax expense represents the sum of current income tax and deferred tax.
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. Taxable earnings differ from earnings as reported in the consolidated statements of earnings as it excludes temporary and permanent differences. The Company’s current tax assets and liabilities are calculated by using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is recognized on all temporary differences at the reporting date based on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, with the following exceptions:
• | Where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; |
• | In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and |
• | Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, carried forward tax credits, or tax losses can be utilized. |
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current and deferred income taxes are charged or credited directly to equity if it relates to items that are credited or charged to equity in the same period. Otherwise, income tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings.
In accordance with IAS 12, where an entity’s tax return is prepared in a currency other than its functional currency, changes in the exchange rate between the two currencies create temporary differences with respect to the valuation of
Income taxes
non-monetary
assets and liabilities. As a result, deferred tax is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings and the consolidated statement of financial position.(u) | Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net earnings for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for dilutive common shares related to the Company’s equity-settled share-based compensation plan.
(v) | Finance Income and Costs |
Enerflex Ltd. | 2022 Annual Report | F-21 |
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Finance income is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method.
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, amortization of the Senior Note discount using the effective interest rate method, and interest incurred on lease liabilities.
(w) | Government Grants |
Government grants are recorded as a reduction in cost of goods sold and selling and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of earnings in accordance with where the associated expense was recognized. Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all related conditions are complied with.
NOTE 4. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company has reviewed amendments to existing accounting standards and determined that no amendments would have a material impact on the financial statements.
NOTE 5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND
JUDGMENT
The timely preparation of these Financial Statements requires that Management make estimates and assumptions and use judgment. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, uncertainties about the current economic environment including significant market volatility in commodity prices, high inflation, high interest rates, and increasing energy prices.
Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could however result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, Management has made the following judgments, estimates and assumptions which have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition – Performance Obligation Satisfied Over Time
The Company reflects revenues relating to performance obligations satisfied over time using theapproach of accounting. The Company uses the input method ofaccounting, whereby actual input costs as a percentage of estimated total costs is used as the basis for determining the extent to which performance obligations are satisfied. The input method ofaccounting provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of control to the customer, as the Company is able to recover costs incurred relating to the satisfaction of the associated performance obligation. This approach to revenue recognition requires Management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding the expected profitability of the contract, the estimated degree of completion based on cost progression, and other detailed factors. Although these factors are routinely reviewed as part of the project management process, changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in the revenues recognized in a given period.
percentage-of-completion
percentage-of-completion
percentage-of-completion
Certain contracts also include aspects of variable consideration, such as liquidated damages on project delays. For these contracts, Management must make estimations as to the likelihood of the variable consideration being recognized or constrained, based on the status of each project, the potential value of variable consideration, communication received from the customer, and other factors. Enerflex continues to monitor these factors. Changes in estimated cost or revenue associated with a project, including variable consideration, could result in material changes to revenue and gross margin recognized on certain projects.
Revenue Recognition – Performance Obligation Satisfied at a Point in Time
The Company reflects revenues relating to performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when control – indicated by transfer of the legal title, physical possession, significant risks and rewards of ownership, or any combination of these indicators – is transferred to the customer.
Provisions for Warranty
F-22 | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2022 Annual Report |
Provisions set aside for warranty exposures either relate to amounts provided systematically based on historical experience under contractual warranty obligations or specific provisions created in respect of individual customer issues undergoing commercial resolution and negotiation. Amounts set aside represent Management’s best estimate of the likely settlement and the timing of any resolution with the relevant customer.
Business Acquisitions
In a business acquisition, the Company may acquire assets and assume certain liabilities of an acquired entity. Estimates are made as to the fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and goodwill, among other items. In certain circumstances, such as the valuation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets acquired, the Company relies on independent third-party valuators. The determination of these fair values involves a variety of assumptions, including revenue growth rates, projected cash flows, customer attrition rates, operating margins, discount rates, and economic lives.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Energy Infrastructure Assets and Intangible Assets
Property, plant and equipment, energy infrastructure assets and intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, energy infrastructure assets and intangible assets is reviewed on an annual basis. Assessing the reasonableness of the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, energy infrastructure assets and intangible assets requires judgment and is based on currently available information. Property, plant and equipment, energy infrastructure assets and intangible assets are also reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Changes in circumstances, such as technological advances and changes to business strategy can result in actual useful lives differing significantly from estimates. The assumptions used, including rates and methodologies, are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure they continue to be appropriate. Revisions to the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, energy infrastructure assets and intangible assets constitutes a change in accounting estimate and are applied prospectively.
Right-of-Use
The Company determines theasset and lease liability for each lease upon commencement. In calculating theasset and lease liability, the Company is required to determine a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of the contractual payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. In addition, the Company is required to assess the term of the lease, including if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise options to extend the lease or terminate the lease. Discount rates and lease assumptions are reassessed on a periodic basis.
right-of-use
right-of-use
Finance Lease Receivables
In calculating the value of the Company’s finance lease receivables, the Company is required to determine the fair value of the underlying assets included in the finance lease transaction, or, if lower, the present value of the lease payments discounted using a market rate of interest. The fair value of the underlying assets should reflect the amount that the Company would otherwise recognize on a sale of those assets.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Amounts included in allowance for doubtful accounts reflect the full lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables. The Company determines allowances based on Management’s best estimate of future expected credit losses, considering historical default rates, current economic conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions. Future economic conditions, especially around the oil and gas industry, may have a significant impact on the collectability of trade receivables from customers and the corresponding expected credit losses. Management has implemented additional monitoring processes in assessing the creditworthiness of customers and believes the current provision appropriately reflects the best estimate of its future expected credit losses. Significant or unanticipated changes in economic conditions could impact the magnitude of future expected credit losses.
Impairment of Inventories
The Company regularly reviews the nature and quantities of inventory on hand and evaluates the net realizable value of items based on historical usage patterns, known changes to equipment or processes, and customer demand for specific products. Significant or unanticipated changes in business conditions could impact the magnitude and timing of impairment recognized.
Impairment of
Non-Financial
AssetsEnerflex Ltd. | 2022 Annual Report | F-23 |
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or group of assets exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and itsThe fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices, less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. Thecalculation is based on a discounted cash flow model, which requires the Company to estimate future cash flows and use judgment to determine a suitable discount rate to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
value-in-use.
value-in-use
Impairment of Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis, or when there is any indication that goodwill may be impaired. This requires an estimation of theof the groups of CGUs to which the goodwill is allocated. The Company has determined the group of CGUs to be its operating segments for purposes for its impairment assessment. Estimating therequires an estimate of the expected future cash flows from each group of CGUs and use judgment to determine a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The methodology and assumptions used, as well as the results of the assessment performed are detailed in Note 15.

value-in-use
Income Taxes
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to taxable income. The Company establishes provisions for uncertain tax positions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective company’s domicile. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of each reporting period and adjusts them as required. However, it is possible that, at some future date, current income tax liabilities are in excess of the Company’s current income tax provision as a result of these audits, adjustments, or litigation with tax authorities. These differences could materially impact the Company’s assets, liabilities, and net income.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses, carried forward tax credits, or other deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which these deferred tax assets can be utilized. Significant judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the timing of reversal, expiry of losses and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. The basis for this estimate is Management’s cash flow projections. To the extent the Company determines the recoverability of deferred tax assets is unlikely, the deferred tax asset is not recognized. Management regularly assesses the unrecognized deferred tax asset to determine what portion can be recognized in response to changing economic conditions or recent events.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company employs the fair value method of accounting for stock options and phantom share entitlement. The determination of the share-based compensation expense for stock options and phantom share entitlement requires the use of estimates and assumptions based on exercise prices, market conditions, vesting criteria, length of employment, and past experiences of the Company. Changes in these estimates and future events could alter the determination of the provision for such compensation. Details concerning the assumptions used are described in Note 25.
Government Grants
Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all conditions associated with the grant are met. If a grant is received, but reasonable assurance and compliance with conditions is not achieved, the grant is recognized as a deferred liability until the conditions are fulfilled. As long as the Company is eligible for any such programs the grants received are recorded as a reduction against the associated expenses to which they relate and in the period the expenses are recognized.
Segment Change and Fair Value Allocation
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company reassessed its operating and reporting segments. Prior to this assessment, the Company’s operating and reporting segments were one and the same, with those segments being Canada, USA, and Rest of World. With the completion of the Exterran acquisition Management noted a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) views the organization. On this basis, four operating segments have been identified with no change in the Canada and USA segments, while Rest of World has been bifurcated into LATAM and EH. For external reporting purposes, Enerflex’s reportable segments are as follows:
F-24 | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2022 Annual Report |
• | North America – comprised of operations in Canada and the USA; |
• | Latin America – comprised of operations in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru; and |
• | Eastern Hemisphere – comprised of operations in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia Pacific. |
Enerflex Ltd. | 2022 Annual Report | F-25 |
The Canada and USA segments have been combined as they have similar economic characteristics including:
• | the nature of the products and services provided; |
• | the nature of the production processes; |
• | the type or class of customer for their products and services; |
• | the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and |
• | the nature of the regulatory environment. |
Goodwill that was previously allocated to the ROW segment was distributed between the LATAM and EH segments on a basis of the estimated fair value allocation.
NOTE 6.
NEW
POLICIES, STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS, AND AMENDMENTSThe Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company determined that the following amendments may have an impact on future financial statements:
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”)
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements, in which it provides guidance and examples to help a company apply materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments seek to help a company provide more useful accounting policy disclosures by replacing the requirement for a company to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting policies, as well as add guidance on how a business applies the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures. The company will now have to consider both the size of the transactions, other events or conditions, and the nature of them. ‘Material’ is a defined term in IFRS and is more widely understood by users of financial statements.
In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based solely on a company’s right to defer settlement for at least twelve months at the reporting date. The Right needs to exist at the reporting date and must have substance. In addition to the amendment from January 2020 where the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, to provide a more general approach to the presentation of liabilities as current or non-current, only covenants with which a company must comply on or before the reporting date may affect this right. Covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current at the reporting date.
These amendments are effective January 1, 2024 and are to be applied retrospectively. Management has not yet determined the impact this amendment will have on the Company.
IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”)
Effective January 1, 2023, the definition of accounting estimates will be amended under IAS 8. Under the amended definition, a change in an input or a change in a measurement technique are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors. The amendment further clarifies that accounting estimates are monetary amounts in the financial statements subject to measurement uncertainty.
Under the prior definition, IAS 8 stated that a change in accounting estimates specified that changes in accounting estimates may result from new information or new developments. Therefore, such changes are not corrections of errors.
This amendment will impact changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates made after the amendment is adopted by the Company.
F-26 | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2022 Annual Report |
IAS 12 Income Taxes (“IAS 12”)
In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, which narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendment is effective January 1, 2023, and clarifies how a business should account for deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction.
Under the amendments, the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. It only applies if the recognition of a related asset and liability give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences that are not equal.
Management believes these amendments will have no impact on th

(a) | Summary of the Acquisition |
On October 13, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition (the “Transaction”) of Exterran Corporation (“Exterran”). Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger among Enerflex, Enerflex US Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enerflex, and Exterran, Enerflex acquired all issued and outstanding Exterran common stock in exchange for 1.021
Enerflex common shares for each whole common stock of Exterran. Enerflex’s common shares continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “EFX,” and the Company commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “EFXT” on October 13, 2022. The Company remains headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The Transaction established an integrated global provider of energy infrastructure and energy transition solutions by combining Enerflex and Exterran’s highly complementary product lines, geographies, and asset bases, enhancing the Company’s scale and utilization and providing operational efficiencies for Enerflex’s customers.
The Transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method pursuant to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”. Under the acquisition method, assets and liabilities are measured at their estimated fair value on the date of acquisition, with the exception of income taxes. The total consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with any excess recorded as goodwill on the consolidated statements of financial position.
(b) | Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation and Capital Structure |
The total purchase consideration was approximately $
222.6 million. Enerflex issued 34,013,055 common shares with a fair value of $213.9 million, based on the October 12, 2022, closing share price of $6.29, as reported on the TSX. The Company also provided $8.6
million on the fair value of vested stock-based compensation, including cash payments totaling $
1.9
million to Exterran stockholders with fractional shares.
Enerflex Ltd. | 2022 Annual Report | F-27 |
The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on Management’s best estimate of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation is preliminary because of property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions, and certain other assets and liabilities are still being assessed. Upon finalizing the value of net assets acquired, adjustments to initial estimates, including goodwill, may be required.
The following table provides a summary of the consideration and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Included in the fair value of vested stock-based compensation is $1.9 million of cash payments to Exterran stockholders that held fractional shares on the date of acquisition.The fair value of trade and other receivables acquired as part of t
187.5he
acquisition was $ million, representing gross contractual amounts receivable of $
222.0 million less Management’s best estimate of the contractual cash flows not expected to be collected of $
34.5 million.
Intangible assets includes $50.9 million of customer relationship intangible assets that were valued based on a discounted cash flow model, which required the Company to estimate future cash flows and use judgment in determining key assumptions that include revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, operating margins and discount rates.
Factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill include the expected future growth potential of expanded Energy Infrastructure in LATAM, the completion of two large projects and two
in-flight
projects nearing completion in the Middle East, expanded opportunities in Energy Transition, and the expected cost synergies. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.Revenues and net loss for the acquired business from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2022 were $
196.0 million and $60.7 million, respectively. Revenue would have been approximately $789.3 million higher and net loss would have
increased by
approximately $48.6 million if the business was acquired on January 1, 2022.Transaction costs exclude share issuance costs related to common shares. Total transaction costs, integration costs and restructuring costs directly related to the acquisition and included in SG&A in the consolidated statements of earnings was $
70.6 million.

Goodwill is allocated to CGU’s which are the Company’s operating segments that represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company reassessed its operating and reporting segments, refer to Note 35, and goodwill was re-allocated to the CGU’s representing the Company’s four operating segments. As a result, the Company performed its annual goodwill assessment on the new operating segments, comparing the carrying value and recoverable amounts for each segment in accordance with IAS 36.10(b). Goodwill acquired through historical business combinations was allocated to the Canada, USA, LATAM, and EH operating segments. Goodwill that was previously allocated to the prior ROW operating segment wascalculations of these segments, and excluding the impact of the Exterran Transaction.

The recoverable amounts for the operating segments have been determined based oncalculations, using discounted cash flow projections as at December 31, 2022. Management has adopted a five-year projection period to assess each segment’sA terminal value is then determined using a perpetual growth methodology based on the fifth year. This five-year projection includes the financial budgets approved by the Board for 2023 and Management’s expectations of cash flows for 2024 to 2027.

At September 30, 2022, the Company determined that there was a $48.0 million impairment in Canada.
Key Assumptions Used inCalculations:
Value-In-Use
The Company completed its annual assessment for goodwill impairment and determined that the recoverable amount for the Canada, USA, LATAM and EH operating segments exceeded the carrying amount using a 12.0 percent (December 31, 2021 – 10.7 percent), 10.7 percent (December 31, 2021 – 9.4 percent), 15.3 percent and
14.5
percent (December 31, 2021 – 12.6 percent on a combined ROW segment)post-tax
discount rate, respectively.The estimation ofinvolves significant judgment in the determination of inputs to the discounted cash flow model and is most sensitive to changes in cash flow projections, revenue growth rate, operating margins, terminal growth and discount rates. These key assumptions were tested for sensitivity by applying a reasonable possible change to those assumptions. Future earnings before finance costs and taxes (“EBIT”) were changed by ten percent while the discount rate was changed by one percent.
value-in-use
The USA, EH, and Canada operating segments have sufficient room as their recoverable amounts are significantly higher than their carrying values, and therefore, the sensitivities will not indicate an impairment. The sensitivities below would not put Canada in an impairment due to the impairment that was recognized during the third quarter of 2022, and an improved cash flow outlook for the region. LATAM is more sensitive to changes in EBIT and the discount rate as follows:
• | EBIT: Management has made estimates relating to the amount and timing of revenue recognition for projects included in backlog, and the assessment of the likelihood of maintaining and growing market share. For each ten percent change in EBIT, the impact on the value-in-use |
• | Discount Rate: Management determines a discount rate for each segment based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital of the Company, using the five-year average of the Company’s peer group debt to total enterprise value, adjusted for a number of risk factors specific to each operating segment. This discount rate has been calculated using an estimated risk-free rate of return adjusted for the Company’s estimated equity market risk premium, the Company’s cost of debt, and the tax rate in the local jurisdiction. For each one percent change in the discount rate, the impact on the value-in-use |

Management will continue to assess the long-term projected cash flows, as certain factors may cause a material variance from previously used cash flow projections. Management notes that there is potential for future impairments as interest rates continue to fluctuate, and as the Company gets more visibility regarding future cash flows.

In October 2022 the Company secured new debt financing as part of the Transaction. The debt financing was comprised of US$625.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), a US$150.0 million three-year secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), and a US$700 million three-year secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Together the Notes, Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility along with cash on hand were used to fully repay the existing Enerflex and Exterran Notes, Bank Facility and Asset-Based Facility.
The Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility have a maturity date of October 13, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”). In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by US$150.0 million at the request of the Company, subject to the lenders’ consent. The Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility may be extended annually on or before the anniversary date with the consent of the lenders.
On the last business day of each quarter end beginning on September 30, 2023 the Company is required to make a US$10.0 million payment to be applied to the outstanding principal of the Term Loan. There are no required or scheduled repayments of principal until the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility. Drawings on the Revolving Credit Facility are available by way of Prime Rate loans, U.S. Base Rate loans, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) loans, and Bankers’ Acceptance notes. The Company may also draw on the Revolving Credit Facility through bank overdrafts in either Canadian or U.S. dollars and issue letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility. The initial drawing as well as subsequent rollovers and conversions on the Term Loan are available through U.S. Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan, a margin is applied to drawings on the Revolving Credit Facility in addition to the quoted interest rate. The margin is established in basis points and is based on a consolidated net debt to earnings before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio. The margin is adjusted effective the first day of the third month following the end of each fiscal quarter based on the above ratio.
The Notes consist of US$625.0 million principal amount, bears interest of 9.00 percent, and has a maturity of October 15, 2027.
The Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan and the Notes are secured. The Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan rank senior to the Notes. The Company is required to maintain certain covenants on the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan and the Notes as follows, all calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis:
• | Senior secured net funded debt to EBITDA ratio not to exceed 2.5:1 for each quarter end; |
• | Net funded debt to EBITDA ratio not to exceed 4.5:1 at each quarter end up to September 30, 2023 where the ratio will be adjusted to a maximum of4.0:1 for each quarter after September 30, 2023; and |
• | Interest coverage ratio for each quarter end not to be less than 2.5:1 |
As at December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

The applicable statutory tax rate is the aggregate of the Canadian federal income tax rate of 15.0 percent (2021 – 15.0 percent) and the Alberta provincial income tax rate of 8.4 percent (2021 – 8.8 percent).
The Company’s effective tax rate is subject to fluctuations in the Argentine peso and Mexican peso exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. Since the Company holds significant energy infrastructure assets in Argentina and Mexico, the tax base of these assets is denominated in Argentine peso and Mexican peso, respectively. The functional currency is the U.S. dollar and as a result, the related local currency tax bases are revalued periodically to reflect the closing U.S. dollar rate against the local currency. Any movement in the exchange rate results in a corresponding unrealized exchange rate gain or loss being recorded as part of deferred income tax expense or recovery. During periods of large fluctuation or devaluation of the local currency against the U.S. dollar, these amounts may be significant but are unrealized and may reverse in the future. Recognition of these amounts is required by IFRS, even though the revalued tax basis does not generate any cash tax obligation or liability in the future.

non-executive,
U.S.-based employees of the Company or its related entities. The plan is denominated in U.S. dollars and may be granted at the discretion of the Board. Although the liability associated with the CPT plan follows Enerflex’s share performance, no actual shares or securities are issued under the plan.

Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used to determine such fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.
Enerflex Ltd. | 2022 Annual Report | F-49 |
Fair values are determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Fair values determined using inputs including forward market rates and credit spreads that are readily observable and reliable, or for which unobservable inputs are determined not to be significant to the fair value, are categorized as Level 2. If there is no active market, fair value is established using valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable market data where possible, including recent
arm’s-length
market transactions, and comparisons to the current fair value of similar instruments. Where this is not feasible, inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk, and volatility are used. Carrying value | Fair Value | |||||||||||||||

The fair values approximate the carrying values for these instruments due to their short-term nature.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is measured using the discounted value of the difference between the contract’s value at maturity based on the contracted foreign exchange rate and the contract’s value at maturity based on prevailing exchange rates. The financial institution’s credit risk is also taken into consideration in determining fair value.
Long-term debt associated with the Company’s Notes is recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs associated with the debt were deducted from the debt and are being recognized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the related debt. The fair value of these Notes, determined on a discounted cash flow basis using a weighted average discount rate of
9.0 percent, was $869.3 million at December 31, 2022.
Preferred Shares
The Company holds preferred shares that were initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost and recognized as long-term receivables in Other assets. The carrying value and estimated fair value of the preferred shares at December 31, 2022 was $
28.0 million and $28.7 million, respectively (December 31, 2021 – $24.2 million and $27.5 million, respectively).
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting
Foreign exchange contracts are transacted with financial institutions to hedge foreign currency denominated obligations and cash receipts related to purchases of inventory and sales of products.
The following table summarizes the Company’s commitments to buy and sell foreign currencies as at December 31, 2022:

Management estimates that a loss of $0.1 million
would be realized if the contracts were terminated on December 31, 2022. Certain of these forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and accordingly, a gain of $0.4 million has been included in other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 – gain of $0.2 million). These gains are not expected to affect net earnings as the gains will be reclassified to net earnings and will offset losses recorded on the underlying hedged items, namely foreign currency denominated accounts payable and accounts receivable. The amount removed from other comprehensive income during the year and included in the carrying amount of the hedged items for the year ended December 31, 2022, was a loss of $0.4 million (December 31, 2021 – loss of $0.2 million).
All hedging relationships are formally documented, including the risk management objective and strategy. On an
on-going
basis, an assessment is made as to whether the designated derivative financial instruments continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged transactions.Risks Arising from Financial Instruments and Risk Management
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial risks that may potentially impact its operating results in any or all of its business segments. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial agreements are used to manage exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation Exposure
In the normal course of operations, the Company is exposed to movements in the U.S. dollar, the Australian dollar, and the Brazilian real. In addition, Enerflex has significant international exposure through export from its Canadian operations, as well as a number of foreign subsidiaries, the most significant of which are located in the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Bahrain, Oman, the UAE, and Australia.
The types of foreign exchange risk and the Company’s related risk management strategies are as follows:
Transaction Exposure
The Canadian operations of the Company source the majority of its products and major components from the United States. Consequently, reported costs of inventory and the transaction prices charged to customers for equipment and parts are affected by the relative strength of the Canadian dollar. The Company also sells compression and processing packages in foreign currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar. Most of Enerflex’s international orders are manufactured in the United States if the contract is denominated in U.S. dollars. This minimizes the Company’s foreign currency exposure on these contracts.
The Company identifies and hedges all significant transactional currency risks. The Company 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 Canadian dollars. 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.
Translation Exposure
The Company’s earnings from and net investment in foreign subsidiaries are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company is also exposed to the translation risk of monetary items in their local currency to their functional currency. The currencies with the most significant impact are the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, Brazilian real, and Argentine peso. Enerflex currently uses U.S. dollar denominated borrowings to hedge against a portion of the foreign exchange exposure that arises from U.S. foreign subsidiaries as a net investment hedge. As a result, exchange gains and losses on the translation of US$615.8 million in designated foreign currency borrowings are included in accumulated other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2022.
With the ongoing devaluation of the Argentine peso, caused by high inflation, the Company is at risk for significant foreign exchange losses. The Company has implemented risk-mitigating strategies to minimize future exposure to this currency devaluation.
Enerflex Ltd. | 2022 Annual Report | F-51 |
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the reporting dates. Unrealized translation gains and losses are deferred and included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The cumulative currency translation adjustments are recognized in earnings when there has been a reduction in the net investment in the foreign operations.
Earnings from foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars each period at average exchange rates for the period. As a result, fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to these other currencies will impact reported net earnings. The following table shows the effect of a five percent weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, and Brazilian real on net earnings before tax for the year ended December 31, 2022, all else being equal. A five percent strengthening of the Canadian dollar would have an equal and opposite effect. This sensitivity analysis is provided as an indicative range in a volatile currency environment.

Sensitivity Analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is intended to illustrate the sensitivity to changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company’s financial instruments and show the impact on net earnings and other comprehensive income. Financial instruments affected by currency risk include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and derivative financial instruments. The following table shows the Company’s sensitivity to a five percent weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, and Brazilian real. A five percent strengthening of the Canadian dollar would have an equal and opposite effect. This sensitivity analysis relates to the position as at December 31, 2022 and for the year then ended.

Earnings before income taxes | $ | (23,450 | ) | $ | - | $ | - |
The movement in net earnings before tax in Canadian operations is a result of a change in the fair values of financial instruments. The majority of these financial instruments are hedged.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s liabilities include long-term debt that is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company’s Notes outstanding at December 31, 2022 has a fixed interest rate and therefore the related interest expense will not be impacted by fluctuations in interest rates. Conversely, the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan are subject to changes in market interest rates.
For each one percent change in the rate of interest on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, the change in annual interest expense would be $4.6 million. All interest charges are recorded on the annual consolidated statements of earnings as finance costs.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net investment in finance lease, and derivative financial instruments.
The Company has accounts receivable from clients engaged in various industries. These specific industries may be affected by economic factors that may impact accounts receivable. Credit quality of the customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and, generally, advance payment is not required. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and an allowance for doubtful accounts is established based expected credit losses.
F-52 | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2022 Annual Report |
The Company evaluates the concentration of risk at December 31, 2022 with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no individual customers that accounted for more than 10 percent of its revenue or accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in this note. The Company does not hold collateral as security.
The credit risk associated with the net investment in finance leases arises from the possibility that the counterparties may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into finance lease transactions only in select circumstances. Close contact is maintained with the customer over the duration of the lease to ensure visibility to issues as and if they arise.
The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments arises from the possibility that the counterparties may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into derivative transactions only with highly-rated financial institutions.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. In managing liquidity risk, the Company has access to a significant portion of its Revolving Credit Facility for future drawings to meet the Company’s future growth targets. As at December 31, 2022, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $253.8 million and had drawn $662.4 million against the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, leaving it with access to $313.8
million for future drawings. The Company continues to meet the covenant requirements of its funded debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan and Notes, with a senior secured net funded debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.1:1, compared to a maximum ratio of 2.5:1, and a net funded debt to EBITDA
(“bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA”)
ratio of 3.3:1, compared to a maximum ratio of 4.5:1. The Company also finished the year with an interest coverage ratio of 4.4:1 compared to a minimum ratio of 2.5:1. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the trailing 12-month EBITDA, as defined by the Company’s lenders, by interest expense over the same timeframe.A liquidity analysis of the Company’s financial instruments has been completed on a maturity basis. The following table outlines the cash flows, including interest associated with the maturity of the Company’s financial liabilities, as at December 31, 2022:

The Company expects that cash flows from operations in 2023, together with cash and cash equivalents on hand, the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan, will be more than sufficient to fund its requirements for investments in working capital and capital assets.
NOTE 30. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES
The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders’ equity plus net debt. The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue to grow while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balances. The Company adjusts its capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new Company shares, or access debt markets.
The Company formally reviews the capital structure on an annual basis and monitors it on an
on-going
basis. As part of this review, the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital are considered. The Company uses the following measure to monitor its capital structure:Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio
Net debt to EBITDA is defined as short and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period, divided by annualized EBITDA. At December 31, 2022, the net debt to EBITDA ratio was:

Legal Proceedings
Upon closing of the Transaction, Enerflex assumed a legal dispute from Exterran. On January 31, 2022 the Local Labor Board of the State of Tabasco in Mexico (the “Labor Board”) awarded a former employee MXN$
2
151.7,
million (CAD$
149.2 million) in connection with a dispute relating to the employee’s severance pay following termination of their employment. On February 24, 2022 this decision was served on Exterran. In March 2015, this employee was terminated and was paid the undisputed portion of their severance pay, as determined by a local labor board. From March 2015 to the present, the former employee has challenged various aspects of the severance payment through court proceedings. The Company has prevailed in these earlier processes and certain facts of the dispute were established by court rulings, including the fact that the employee’s salary was approximately MXN$3,500 per day (US$170 per day at the prevailing exchange rate).
We believe the order of the Labor Board is in error and has no credible basis in law or fact. For instance, in 2017, the Labor Board ruled that the former employee was entitled to approximately MXN$1.4 million (approximately US$70,000 at the prevailing exchange rate) as severance based on an appellate court’s determination based on Company records that the employee’s salary was approximately MXN$3,500 per day. However, the Labor Board’s February 2022 order increased the amount the employee is owed to approximately US$120 million, an increase of over 170,000 percent, ignoring the actual salary that had been established and using approximately US$21,000 per day, an increase of over 12,000 percent and an amount the former employee never actually received while working for Exterran’s subsidiary. Effectively, the Labor Board awarded the employee approximately 1,900 years of severance based on the correct wage rate.
Exterran appealed the decision, and the appeal is pending before the First Collegiate Court of the Tenth Circuit in Labor Matters, in Villahermosa, Tabasco. Among other errors that are the subject of the appeal is the Labor Board’s (a) violation of principles ofby disregarding prior court decisions establishing that the former employee’s salary was roughly MXN$3,500 per day (US$170 per day at the prevailing exchange rate), (b) ignoring the applicable
res judicata
one-year
statute of limitations in these types of matters, and (c) award of salary differences that were never part of the former employee’s original or subsequent claims.The Company is pursuing all available avenues to preserve its rights, including potentially asserting claims against the Mexican government should the First Collegiate Court of the Tenth Circuit in Labor Matters fail to reverse the Labor Board’s order.

The Company is involved in litigation and claims associated with normal operations against which certain provisions may be made in the Financial Statements. Management is of the opinion that any resulting settlement arising from the litigation would not materially affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.

NOTE 34. SEASONALITY
The energy sector in Canada and in some parts of the USA has a distinct seasonal trend in activity levels which results from well-site access and drilling pattern adjustments to take advantage of weather conditions. Generally, Enerflex’s Engineered Systems product line has experienced higher revenues in the fourth quarter of each year while Energy Infrastructure and After-Market Services product line revenues have been stable throughout the year. Energy Infrastructure revenues are also impacted by both the Company’s and its customers’ capital investment decisions. The USA, LATAM and EH segments are not significantly impacted by seasonal variations. Variations from these trends usually occur when hydrocarbon energy fundamentals are either improving or deteriorating.
F-56 | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2022 Annual Report |
NOTE 35. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company
re-assessed
its operating and reporting segments. Prior to this assessment, the Company’s operating and reporting segments were one and the same, with those segments being Canada, USA, and ROW. With the completion of the Exterran acquisition Management noted a change in how the CODM views the organization. On this basis, four operating segments have been identified with no change in the Canada and USA segments, while ROW has been bifurcated into LATAM and EH. For external reporting purposes, Enerflex’s reportable segments are as follows:• | North America – comprised of operations in Canada and the USA; |
• | Latin America – comprised of operations in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru; and |
• | Eastern Hemisphere – comprised of operations in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia Pacific. |
Each of the reporting segments are supported by the Corporate head office. Corporate overheads are allocated to the operating segments based on revenue. In assessing its reportable operating segments, the Company considered economic characteristics, the nature of products and services provided, the nature of production processes, the types of customers for its products and services, and distribution methods used. These considerations factored into the decision to combine Canada and USA into one reporting segment. For each of the operating segments, the CODM reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis.
Goodwill that was previously allocated to the ROW segment was distributed between the LATAM and EH segments on a basis of a relative fair value allocation. The fair value allocation was determined based on thefor LATAM and EH stand-alone segments and applying that percentage to the goodwill held in ROW.
value-in-use
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had no individual customers which accounted for more than 10 percent of its revenue (December 31, 2021 - none).
The following summary describes the operations of each of the Company’s reportable segments:
• | NAM generates revenue from manufacturing natural gas infrastructure under contract, refrigeration, processing, and electric power equipment, including custom and standard compression packages and modular natural gas processing equipment, refrigeration systems and water treatment services, in addition to generating revenue from mechanical services and parts, and maintenance solutions, and operating our compression assets under contract for oil and gas and midstream customers; |
• | LATAM generates revenue from operating our Energy Infrastructure assets under take or pay contracts, providing after-market services, including parts and components, as well as operations, maintenance, and overhaul services; and |
• | EH generates revenue by operating our Energy Infrastructure assets under take or pay contracts, manufacturing (focusing on large-scale process equipment), after-market services, including parts and components, as well as operations, maintenance, and overhaul services, and rentals of compression and processing equipment. |
The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
