Highlights from the call

During the Enerflex Ltd. (EFX:CA) Annual and Special Meeting held on May 6, 2026, management did not provide specific financial results or guidance updates for the first quarter of 2026, which is scheduled for release the following day. The meeting primarily focused on governance matters, including the election of directors and the appointment of auditors. Investors should watch for the upcoming earnings release for insights into revenue and earnings performance, as well as any potential guidance changes for the fiscal year ahead.

Main topics

  • Earnings Call Expectations: Management indicated that the first quarter results would be released on May 7, 2026, stating, "We will be releasing our 2026 first quarter results before the markets open tomorrow." This sets the stage for potential market-moving information regarding revenue and earnings.
  • Director Elections: The meeting included the election of 10 directors, with no alternative nominations received. This suggests a stable governance structure, which can be viewed positively by investors.
  • Appointment of Auditors: The appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as auditors was confirmed without opposition, indicating shareholder support for the company's financial oversight.
  • Executive Compensation Discussion: Management discussed the nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation, emphasizing that the Omnibus Incentive Plan does not represent a substantive change in compensation practices, stating, "the Omnibus Incentive Plan does not represent a substantive change in Enerflex's executive compensation."
  • Shareholder Engagement: The meeting format allowed for virtual participation, which management highlighted as a way to ensure accessibility for all shareholders. This reflects a commitment to shareholder engagement.

Key metrics mentioned

  • Revenue Guidance: (No specific revenue guidance was provided during the meeting.)
  • Earnings Per Share (EPS): (No EPS figures were discussed in the meeting.)
  • Number of Directors: 10 (The number of directors elected was fixed at 10, maintaining the current board structure.)
  • Appointment of Auditors: Ernst & Young LLP (The appointment was made without opposition, indicating shareholder support.)
  • Omnibus Incentive Plan: Approved (The plan was ratified without substantive changes to compensation practices.)

The Enerflex meeting set the stage for the upcoming earnings call, where investors can expect critical updates on financial performance and guidance. The stability in governance and auditor appointment is positive, but the lack of immediate financial metrics may raise concerns. Investors should closely monitor the earnings release for potential catalysts or risks impacting the investment thesis.

We are pleased to host the meeting through this virtual meeting platform, which is accessible to all our shareholders regardless of physical location. I invite our shareholders and proxy holders to submit questions and vote on each of the matters of business as they are raised. Before we proceed with the formal business of today's meeting, I would like to introduce the other directors of Enerflex. Fernando Assing, Ben Cherniavsky, Joanne Cox, Celine Gerson, Jim Gouin, Mona Hale, Tom Tyree, Juan Carlos Villegas and Paul Mahoney, our President and Chief Executive Officer.

The meeting will now come to order. In order to ensure this meeting efficiently covers all of the business for which it was convened, we have prearranged with persons attending this meeting to move and second certain resolutions. This procedure is not an attempt to discourage participation, but merely a way to expedite proceedings. The chair will accept questions from registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders on each formal resolution as they are raised. I encourage registered shareholders and proxy holders to submit questions as early as possible so that we may address them at the right point during the meeting. Questions during the meeting should relate to the items of business being considered at this meeting. Questions with respect to our first quarter results or the operations of Enerflex are best raised with management at the Q1 conference call scheduled for tomorrow morning. If you have a question on an item of business being considered at this meeting, please use the messaging feature of the TSX Trust virtual interface. In asking your question, please identify whether you are a registered shareholder or proxy holder and which matter of business your question relates to. We will address questions that directly relate to a particular matter of business at the appropriate time of the meeting. Justin Pettigrew, the Corporate Secretary and Associate General Counsel of Enerflex, will act as Secretary of the meeting; and Kristine Calesso, a representative of TSX Trust Company, will act as scrutineer. A package containing the notice and access notification to shareholders, a mailing list, request form, a form of proxy and a proxy return envelope were mailed on April 1, 2026, to all shareholders of record as of March 13, 2026. The declaration of mailing is available for inspection by any shareholder. I ask that the Secretary file a copy of such declaration with the minutes of today's meeting. A quorum of shareholders is present for the transaction of business at this meeting if at least 2 persons are present in person and holding or representing by proxy, not less than 10% of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. I've been advised by the scrutineers that there is a quorum present. I would ask that the Secretary file a copy of the scrutineer's report with the minutes of today's meeting. I would also note that under applicable corporate law and the bylaws of Enerflex, the company is permitted to hold this meeting by the electronic means that we are using. Accordingly, I declare that this meeting has been regularly called and properly constituted for the transaction of business. We will conduct each vote by way of an electronic ballot. You will receive a message on the TSX Trust virtual interface once the polls are open. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxy holders may vote on the online platform throughout the meeting. You may vote at any time until the last item of business has been put to a vote, and I declare the voting closed. If you have previously voted and do not wish to change your vote or you have appointed a proxy holder and do not wish to change your voting instructions, then you do not need to do anything. Your vote has been recorded. If you wish to change your vote, then voting online will have the effect of revoking your previously submitted vote. Each item of business to be considered today requires that a majority of the votes cast be voted in favor of the resolution in order for the resolution to pass. Following the meeting, a news release will be issued announcing the final voting results. As a reminder, only registered shareholders and proxy holders are entitled to participate in the meeting as it pertains to voting and asking questions. We will now run through each of the items on the agenda, including responding to any questions on the particular item while it is before the meeting. I now declare the polls open on all resolutions. The first item of business is for shareholders to receive the financial statements of Enerflex for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the auditor's report thereon. The financial statements were previously distributed to shareholders posted to our website and filed under our electronic profile on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. There is also a direct link to Enerflex's 2025 annual report, which contains the 2025 financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis located on the information screen for this meeting. Are there any questions on the financial statements or the auditor's report? We have received no questions on this item. I declare that the annual consolidated financial statements of Enerflex as at -- for the year ended December 31, 2025, together with the report of the independent auditors thereon have been presented to the shareholders and received. The next item of business is fixing the number of directors at the meeting at 10. The motion to elect directors will follow by way of a separate item of business.
