Enterprise Group Announces Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023

Enterprise Group - President and CEO, Leonard Jaroszuk comments: "In the past fiscal year, Enterprise has seen notable achievements, including a record net income of $6,169,904 and the highest Adjusted EBITDA of $13,285,880 since our transition to specialized equipment rental. Our success is underpinned by several key industry trends." Jaroszuk further adds: "Our customers are increasingly adopting technological advancements to drive efficiency, reduce emissions, and cut costs. This shift has opened opportunities for Enterprise in providing natural gas power solutions, aligning with the growing demand for cleaner energy alternatives."

Jaroszuk continues: "Furthermore, the energy sector is witnessing a steady increase in capital spending, particularly in infrastructure investments aimed at improving market access and efficiency. This, coupled with heightened drilling and completion activity and favorable commodity prices, bodes well for Enterprise's continued growth and market presence. While these developments are encouraging, we remain focused on prudent and strategic decision-making to navigate the evolving landscape of the energy industry. Our commitment to delivering value to our shareholders and customers remains unwavering as we strive for sustained growth and profitability."

OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(1) Identified and defined under "Non-IFRS Measures".

• The 2023 year is one of the strongest in recent history and activity in the first part of 2024 continues to be strong. Drilling and completion activity was higher throughout 2023 and the Company saw many of its customers using more natural gas powered equipment to support site infrastructure and as a result, there was more demand for the Company's products and services. The 2023 year did have some challenges in the second and fourth quarters, mainly from forest fires in Northern Alberta and British Columbia and project delays due to warm weather in the fourth quarter. Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $9,598,945 compared to $8,743,471 in the prior period, an increase of $864,474 or 10%. Gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $4,844,194 compared to $4,157,875 in the prior period, an increase of $686,321 or 17%. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $4,374,735 compared to $3,238,612 in the prior period, an increase of $1,136,123 or 35%. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $33,500,501 compared to $26,892,249 in the prior year, an increase of $6,608,252 or 25%. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $15,501,969 compared to $10,879,928 in the prior year, an increase of $4,622,041 or 42%. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $13,285,880 compared to $8,149,223 in the prior year, an increase of $5,138,657 or 63%. Increases in revenue, gross margin and EBITDA for the year, are reflective of increased customer activity in 2023 while maintaining the operating efficiencies of the Company.

• For the year ended December 31, 2023, the company generated cash flow from operations of $13,530,272 compared to $5,910,830 in the prior year. This change is consistent with the higher activity levels during the year and the growth in the natural gas power generation business. The Company continues to utilize a combination of cash flow and debt to right-size and modernize its equipment fleet to meet customer demands. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company acquired $15,110,693 of capital assets, primarily for natural gas power generation equipment and facilities, upgrading existing equipment, and meeting specific requests from customers. Also, the Company purchased land to expand operations and is in the process of constructing a new facility. The Company continues to see its customers switching to natural gas as a cleaner and more efficient alternative to diesel, increasing the demand for natural gas generators and micro-grid packages.

• During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased and cancelled 1,278,500 shares at a cost of $512,085, or $0.40 per share. These shares had a carrying value of $1.32 per share for a total of $1,681,478 which has been removed from the share capital account. Since the initiation of the share buyback program, the Company has purchased and cancelled 11,336,000 shares at a cost of $2,903,646 or $0.26 per share. These shares have a carrying value of $1.41 per share for a total of $15,970,630 which has been removed from the share capital account over the entire share buyback program. The Company renewed its bid on August 24, 2023, with a termination date of August 29, 2024, or such earlier time as the bid is completed or terminated at the option of the Company. Management will continue to acquire its shares as they believe its stock remains undervalued as the Company's book value is $0.82 per share. Additionally, the Company has available tax losses of $0.14 per share and is in the process of developing a consolidated tax plan to utilize those losses.

• On September 29, 2023, the Company made changes to its bank loan facility. The term has been extended for one additional year, now expiring on September 29, 2025. The interest rate changed to 10.5% and prepayment penalties have been removed. These changes give the Company greater flexibility on financing choices to meet increased activity and the demands of its customers.

• On January 23, 2023, the Company's common shares began trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the ticker symbol ETOLF. In addition to the listing, Enterprise's shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement with the Depository Trust Company for trading in the United States. This listing will help to increase Enterprise's visibility and accessibility to a growing audience of U.S. investors.

The use of any of the words "could", "expect", "believe", "will", "projected", "estimated" and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking information and are based on the Company's current belief or assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such future events. Actual future results may differ materially. The Company's Annual Information Form and other documents filed with securities regulatory authorities (accessible through the SEDAR website www.sedar.com) describe the risks, material assumptions and other factors that could influence actual results and which are incorporated herein by reference. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be expressly required by applicable securities laws.

Non-IFRS Measures
The Company uses International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). EBITDAS is not a measure that has any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore referred to as a non-IFRS measure. This news release contains references to EBITDAS. This non-IFRS measure used by the Company may not be comparable to a similar measure used by other companies. Management believes that in addition to net income, EBITDAS is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's principal business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed or how the results are taxed. EBITDAS is calculated as net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes and stock based compensation.
