"Enerflex's second quarter financial results reflect the improved market dynamics, demonstrated by the company's strengthened operating income and earnings relative to last year. With over $400-million in bookings in the quarter, the strong trend continued from recent quarters and provides visibility into activity levels over the remainder of 2017 and into 2018," said J. Blair Goertzen, Enerflex's president and chief executive officer. "We continue to see solid momentum in the U.S. and rest of world segments. Within Canada, the company remains cautious as the market continues to face price volatility which creates uncertainty around customer capital budgets for the remainder of the year. Enerflex also closed the acquisition of Mesa Compression on July 31 and we are excited to welcome Mesa's experienced and skilled employees to Enerflex and will continue to build on the strength of this established platform."
