Organization and Nature of Operations

Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek” or the “Company”) is a technology-driven, specialty chemistry and data company that serves customers across industrial, commercial and consumer markets. Flotek’s Chemistry Technologies segment develops, manufactures, packages, distributes, delivers, and markets high-quality sanitizers and disinfectants for commercial, governmental and personal consumer use. Additionally, Flotek empowers the energy industry to maximize the value of their hydrocarbon streams and improve return on invested capital through its real-time data platforms and chemistry technologies. Flotek serves downstream, midstream and upstream customers, both domestic and international.
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company acquired JP3 Measurement, LLC (“JP3”) and evaluated segment information. The Company identified two operating segments: Chemistry Technologies and Data Analytics, which are both supported by its continuing Research & Innovation advanced laboratory capabilities. For further discussion of our operations and segments, refer to Note 18, “Business Segment, Geographic and Major Customer Information.” For further discussion of the JP3 acquisition, refer to Note 3, “JP3 Acquisition.”
The Company was initially incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia in 1985. In October 2001, the Company changed its corporate domicile to the state of Delaware.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The Financial Statements, including selected notes, have been prepared in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting and do not include all information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for comprehensive financial statement reporting. These interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report. A copy of the 2019 Annual Report is available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, under the Company’s ticker symbol (“FTK”) or on Flotek’s website, www.flotekind.com.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not have investments in any unconsolidated subsidiaries.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Impact of COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic, which continues to exist throughout the United States and around the world. While this outbreak continues to severely impact global economic activity, during the third quarter of 2020 many countries and many states within the United States began to develop a plan to gradually re-open businesses and schools and lift some restrictions related to quarantines and travel with guidance from federal, state and local legislators.

The current resurgence of COVID-19 could have a negative impact upon both our digital and oil field chemical business. The November 2020 announcement by Pfizer of a potential COVID-19 vaccine could reduce the demand for our janitorial and sanitizer products.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including actions taken by businesses and governments, have resulted in a significant and continued reduction in international and U.S. economic activity. These effects and the volatility in oil prices have materially and adversely affected, and may continue to materially and adversely affect, the demand for oil and natural gas as well as for our services and products. In the second and third quarters of 2020, these conditions and the related financial impact have continued and, in some cases, worsened. The Company’s primary markets in the U.S. are particularly subject to the financial impact of a collapse in oil prices. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and
operating right-of-use assets during the first quarter of 2020 and additional impairment charges to goodwill and intangible assets in the third quarter of 2020. See Note 10, “Impairment of Fixed and Long-lived Assets”. In addition, the Company adopted social distancing and work-from-home procedures, which have had and may continue to have an impact on the ability of employees and management of the Company to communicate and work efficiently.

In response to the deteriorating market conditions and anticipating ongoing volatility, the Company has also reduced its cost structure to meet anticipated market activity and reduce the Company’s break-even levels. Among other cost-cutting and cash preservation initiatives:

• The Company’s CEO, John W. Gibson, Jr., reduced his base salary by 20%, and each of the other executive officers reduced his or her salary by 10%, through December 31, 2020 in exchange for restricted stock, effective as of April 1, 2020.
• The board of directors of Flotek approved a 20% reduction in the fees to be paid to the directors, effective as of April 1, 2020.
• The Company consolidated office space by moving all employees at its corporate headquarters into the Houston Global Resource and Innovation Center, (“GRIC”) facility and buying out the remaining term of the corporate headquarters lease for a significant discount, with the move completed by the end of June 2020.
The Company decreased discretionary spending across all business operations.
The Company reduced overall headcount by 35% on March 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company reduced the headcount of the Data Analytics segment by 35% in October 2020.

While the full impact and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak is not yet known, we are closely monitoring the effects of the pandemic on commodity demands and on our customers, as well as on our operations and employees. Any future development and effects are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic; further adverse revenue, accounts receivable aging and collections, and net income effects; disruptions to our operations; third-party providers’ ability to support our operations; customer shutdowns of oil and gas exploration and production; the effectiveness of our work from home arrangements; employee impacts from illness, school closures and other community response measures; any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic; and temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our customers and suppliers.
