Report Highlights
- E is up 4% YoY, outperforming the S&P Oil & Gas Equipment & Services Index, which is down 26%.
- Similar to Q1, Q2 revenue fell 16% YoY, missing our estimate by 6%, primarily due to lower sector activity amid softer oil and gas prices. Q2 and Q3 are typically weak seasonally, while Q4 and Q1 are usually the strongest quarters.
- Sources indicate that oil and gas sector CAPEX in North America will decline 3–4% this year. We believe spending is likely to remain cautious amid price volatility, elevated economic and geopolitical risks, and the potential for a global GDP slowdown. However, with consensus forecasts projecting oil prices 12% lower in 2025, but rebounding 5% in 2026, we believe CAPEX budgets could see a subsequent increase.
- We anticipate stronger H2 revenue following E’s May 2025 acquisition of FlexEnergy Solutions’ Canadian operations for $20M. FlexEnergy, based in Colorado, manufactures turbine and microturbine power generation systems. The acquisition includes 17 turbines, and expands E’s position from being the exclusive Western Canada supplier to the exclusive nationwide supplier of FlexEnergy products. We estimate the deal will contribute ~$8M in annual revenue, partially offsetting the impact of softer sector activity.
- The balance sheet remains strong, with a debt-to-capital ratio of 23% vs the sector average of 33%. E also has the ability to raise up to $10M through in-the-money options and warrants.

- (Average Risk) – The company operates in an industry that has average sensitivity to systematic risk. The industry may be cyclical.

Debt use is in line with industry averages, and coverage ratios are sufficient.
