Commitments
Terpene Supply Agreement
On February 26, 2020, Flotek Chemistry entered into an amendment to the terpene supply agreement between Flotek Chemistry and FCC. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the amendment, the terpene supply agreement was amended to, among other things, (a) reduce the minimum quantity of terpene that Flotek Chemistry is required to purchase by approximately 3/4ths in 2020 and by approximately half in each of 2021, 2022 and 2023, (b) provide a fixed per pound price for terpene in 2020, (c) reduce the maximum amount of terpene subject to the terpene supply agreement by approximately 1/3rd, and (d) change the payment terms to net 45 days. In order to make the terms and conditions of the amendment to the terpene supply agreement effective, Flotek Chemistry made a one-time payment in February 2020 of $15.8 million to ADM. The expense associated with the terpene supply agreement amendment payment was recorded as a loss on contract purchase commitments, reported in operating expenses in continuing operations in December 2019.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a loss of $9.9 million and an accrued liability of $9.4 million at December 31, 2020, associated with the amended terpene supply agreement due to the Company’s expected usage of terpene in blended products being less than the minimum quantities of terpene required to be purchased and expected selling prices of the excess terpene as such loss is not considered recoverable. The reductions in expected usage resulted from reduced demand for terpene in the oil and gas sector due of capital spending reductions across our customer base and impacts of COVID-19, combined with product mix changes using lower concentrations of terpene.
Indemnification
The Company agreed to provide indemnification to National Oilwell DHT, L.P. for certain intellectual property-related claims in connection with sale of its Teledrift business unit in 2017. The expenses incurred by the Company were $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company expects to incur additional costs during 2021, which are uncertain, but could be as much as $0.5 million or more.
Lease Obligations
See Note 8, “Leases.”
Concentrations and Credit Risk
The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from its CT segment, which consists predominantly of customers within the oil and gas industry and the sanitizer, surface cleaner and disinfectant industry to a lesser extent.  Customers within the oil and gas industry include oilfield services companies, integrated oil and natural gas companies, independent oil and natural gas companies, and state-owned national oil companies. Customers within the sanitizer, surface cleaner and disinfectant industry typically include industrial and consumer markets, including hospitals, travel and hospitality, food services, e-commerce and retail, sports and entertainment. The concentration in the oil and gas industry increases credit and business risk.
Within the CT segment, the Company had two major customers for the year ended December 31, 2020, which accounted for 24% and 18% of consolidated revenue, and two major customers for the year ended December 31, 2019, which accounted for 20% and 10% of consolidated revenue. The Company’s largest three customers collectively accounted for 50% and 40% of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
No single customer of the DA segment accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk within trade accounts receivable, as the Company does not generally require collateral as support for trade receivables. In addition, the majority of the Company’s cash is invested in three major U.S. financial institutions and balances often exceed insurable amounts.
