Enerflex Ltd. Provides Update Related to Kurdistan Project
November 27 2024 - 5:22PM
Enerflex Ltd. (TSX: EFX) (NYSE: EFXT) (“Enerflex” or the “Company”)
today provided an update of a modularized cryogenic natural gas
processing facility in Kurdistan (the “EH Cryo project”).
As previously announced, during the second
quarter of 2024, Enerflex suspended activity at the EH Cryo
project, demobilized its personnel and provided its customer with
notice of Force Majeure following a fatal drone attack at an
adjacent facility. Due to the continuing Force Majeure and
circumstances that make it impossible for Enerflex to fulfill its
obligations under the EH Cryo project contract, Enerflex today
provided its customer with formal notice of termination.
As previously announced, Enerflex’s customer has
commenced arbitration proceedings against the Company, asserting
certain baseless and unsubstantiated claims. Enerflex is disputing
these claims and, following today’s termination, Enerflex will seek
to recover amounts owing in connection with the EH Cryo project. At
the end of Q3/24, the net asset position associated with the EH
Cryo project was $161 million.
Approximately $75 million of work associated
with the EH Cryo project was included in the Company’s Engineered
Systems (“ES”) backlog at the end of Q3/24. With the termination of
the EH Cryo project, Enerflex expects to reverse this amount during
the fourth quarter of 2024. The future ES revenue associated with
the EH Cryo project was expected to contribute minimal gross
margin.
Since inception of the EH Cryo project, Enerflex
has maintained a $31 million letter of credit to support its
obligations under the EH Cryo project contract. Enerflex would view
any drawing of this financial security in the prevailing
circumstances as improper and would increase the amount owing by
the customer. Any drawing of the financial security would not have
a material impact on the Company’s financial position or liquidity.
At the end of Q3/24, Enerflex had $588 million available for future
drawings, which reflects the $31 million letter of credit
funded with the Company’s revolving credit facility.
