Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flotek Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries it controls. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not have investments in any unconsolidated subsidiaries.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Restricted Cash
The Company’s restricted cash is $0.1 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s restricted cash as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 consists of cash that the Company is contractually obligated to maintain in accordance with the terms of its credit card program with a financial institution.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), which requires the measurement of expected credit losses. The adoption of ASC 326 using a modified retrospective approach did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. ASC 326 requires estimated credit losses to be determined for the expected life of the asset compared to an incurred model which was in effect for periods prior to January 1, 2023.
Accounts receivable and accounts receivable, related party, arise from product sales and services and are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for credit losses. This value incorporates an allowance for credit losses to reflect any loss anticipated on accounts receivable balances. The Company applies the current expected credit loss (CECL) model, which requires immediate recognition of expected credit losses over the contractual life of receivables and records the appropriate allowance for credit losses as a charge to Operating Cost and Expenses. The allowance for credit losses is based on a combination of the individual customer circumstances, credit conditions, and historical write-offs and collections. The Company writes off specific accounts receivable when they are determined to be uncollectible. The recovery of accounts receivable previously written off is recorded as a reduction to the allowance for credit losses charged to operating expense.
The majority of the Company’s customers are engaged in the energy industry. The cyclical nature of the energy industry may affect customers’ operating performance and cash flows, which directly impact the Company’s ability to collect on outstanding obligations. Additionally, certain customers are located in international areas that are inherently subject to risks of economic, political, and civil instability, which can impact the collectability of receivables.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are as follows (in thousands):
 Years ended December 31,
 20232022
Balance, beginning of year$623 $659 
Charges to provision for credit losses, net of recoveries138 203 
Write-offs(16)(239)
Balance, end of year$745 $623 
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses for the related party accounts receivable, including ProFrac Services, LLC (see Note 17, “Related Party Transactions”).
Contract Assets
The Company’s contract assets represent consideration issued in the form of convertible notes (Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable as discussed in Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”) and other incremental costs related to obtaining the ProFrac Agreement (see Note 17, “Related Party Transactions”) during the year ended December 31, 2022. The contract assets are amortized over the term of the ProFrac Agreement (originally 10 years) based on forecasted revenues as goods are transferred to ProFrac Services, LLC and the amortization is presented as a reduction of the transaction price included in related party revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
The contract assets are tested for recoverability on a recurring basis and the Company will recognize an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the contract assets exceeds the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in the future for the transfer of goods under the ProFrac Agreement less the direct costs that relate to providing those goods in the future. Based on our tests of recoverability, we did not identify an impairment of the contract assets during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost determined using the weighted-average cost method, or net realizable value. Finished goods inventories include raw materials, direct labor and production overhead. The Company periodically reviews inventories on hand and current market conditions to determine if the cost of raw materials and finished goods inventories exceed current market prices and impairs the cost basis of the inventory accordingly. Obsolete inventory or inventory in excess of management’s estimated usage requirement is written down to its net realizable value if those amounts are determined to be less than cost. Write-downs or write-offs of inventory are charged to cost of sales.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment under finance leases are stated at the present value of the lease payments. The Company capitalizes costs associated with the acquisition of major software for internal use.
The cost of ordinary maintenance and repair is charged to operating expense, while replacement of critical components and major improvements are capitalized. Depreciation or amortization of property and equipment, including operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”), is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life as follows:
Buildings and leasehold improvements
2-30 years
Machinery and equipment
7-10 years
Furniture and fixtures3 years
Land improvements20 years
Transportation equipment
2-5 years
Computer equipment and software
3-7 years
Property and equipment, including ROU assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company first compares the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the asset, the Company will determine the fair value of the asset or asset group. The amount of impairment loss recognized is the excess of the asset or asset group’s carrying amount over its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. There were no impairments of property and equipment, including ROU assets, during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Assets to be disposed of are reported as assets held for sale at the lower of the carrying amount or the asset’s fair value less cost to sell and depreciation is ceased. Upon sale or other disposition of an asset, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on disposal measured as the difference between the net carrying amount of the asset and the net proceeds received.
Leases
The Company leases certain facilities, land, vehicles, and equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is classified as a lease at inception of the arrangement. The Company recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.
ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the related lease. Finance leases are under the current and non-current liabilities and the underlying assets are included in property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. For operating and finance leases, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective-interest method.
As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, on a quarterly basis, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, together with the lease term information available at commencement date of the lease, in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease liabilities include the noncancellable period of the lease plus related options to extend or terminate lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments owed over the lease term.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet; and the lease expense on short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company entered into a sublease for its former headquarters, which is being accounted for under lessor accounting. The nature of the sublease did not relieve the Company of its obligations under the original lease. The lease for the prior headquarters was an operating lease and, as such, the Company continues to account for the original lease as it did prior to entering the sublease. Since the former facility is not a component of the Company’s central operations, the income from the sublease and the expenses under the original lease are recorded in Other income, net on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Convertible Notes Payable and Liability Classified Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable
The Company accounts for the Convertible Notes Payable at amortized cost pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”).
The Company accounted for the Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable issued as consideration related to a related party contract (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”), as liability classified convertible instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, liability classified convertible instruments are measured at fair value at the grant date and at each reporting date (see Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements”) with the change in fair value included in the consolidated statements of operations. The Contract Consideration Notes Payable matured and were converted during the year ended December 31, 2023 in accordance with their terms (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”).
Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, based on the nature of the inputs used to determine fair value. Inputs refer broadly to assumptions that market participants would use to value an asset or liability and may be observable or unobservable. When determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, the Company uses the most reliable measurement available. See Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements.”
Revenue Recognition
The Company only has revenue from customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations under the terms of the contract with a customer, and control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer or services are performed, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company recognizes revenue based on a five-step model when all of the following criteria have been met: (i) a contract with a customer exists, (ii) performance obligations have been identified, (iii) the price to the customer has been determined, (iv) the price to the customer has been allocated to the performance obligations, and (v) performance obligations are satisfied.
Products and services are sold with fixed or determinable prices. Variable consideration is estimated for the Contract Shortfall Fees from the ProFrac Agreement (see Note 17, “Related Party Transactions”) using the most likely amount and the Company includes an estimated amount of variable consideration in the transaction price only if it is probable that a subsequent change in the estimate of the amount of variable consideration would not result in a significant revenue reversal. A significant revenue reversal would occur if a subsequent change in the estimate of the variable consideration would result in a significant downward adjustment to the amount of cumulative revenue recognized from that contract when the change in estimate occurs. Certain sales include right of return provisions, which are considered when recognizing revenue and deferred accordingly, and discounts offered to customers for prompt payment. The Company does not act as an agent in any of its revenue arrangements.
In recognizing revenue for products and services, the Company determines the transaction price of contracts with customers, which may consist of fixed and variable consideration. Determining the transaction price may require judgment by management, which includes identifying performance obligations, estimating variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and determining whether promised goods or services can be distinguished in the context of the contract. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed and unbilled accounts receivable included in accounts receivable, net and accounts receivable, related party on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The majority of the CT segment revenue is chemical products that are sold at a point in time based on when control transfers to the customer determined by agreed upon delivery terms. Contracts with customers for the sale of products generally state the terms of the sale, including the quantity and price of each product purchased. Additionally, the CT segment offers various services associated to products sold which includes field services, installation, maintenance, and other functions. These services are recognized upon completion of commissioning and installation due to the short-term nature of the performance obligation when the Company has a right to invoice the customer.
The DA segment recognizes revenue for sales of equipment at the time of sale based on when control transfers to the customer based on agreed upon delivery terms. Additionally, the Company offers various services associated to products sold which
includes field services, installation, maintenance, and other functions. Services are recognized upon completion of commissioning and installation due to the short-term nature of the performance obligation. There may be additional performance obligations related to providing ongoing or reoccurring maintenance. Revenue for these types of arrangements is recognized ratably over time throughout the contract period. Additionally, the Company provides subscription-type arrangements with customers in which monthly reoccurring revenue is recognized ratably over time in accordance with agreed upon terms and conditions. Customers may be invoiced for such maintenance and subscription-type arrangements and revenue not yet recognizable is reported under accrued liabilities and deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Subscription-type arrangements were not a material revenue stream in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Payment terms for both the CT and DA segments are customarily 30-60 days for domestic and 90-120 days for international from invoice receipt. Under revenue contracts for both products and services, customers are invoiced once the performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Contract assets and liabilities associated with incomplete performance obligations are not material.
The Company applies several practical expedients including:
Sales commissions are expensed as selling, general and administrative expenses when incurred because the amortization period is generally one year or less.
The Company’s payment terms are short-term in nature with settlements of one year or less. As a result, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.
In most service contracts, the Company has the right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance obligations completed to date and as such the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice.
The Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer. Such taxes are included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet until remitted to the governmental agency.
Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales in our consolidated statement of operations.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is primarily the U.S. dollar. The Company operates principally in the United States and substantially all assets and liabilities of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries that are not U.S. dollar functional currency are prepared using the currency of the primary economic environment of the foreign subsidiaries as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of those foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect as of the end of identified reporting periods. Revenue and expense transactions are translated using the average monthly exchange rate for the reporting period. Resultant translation adjustments are recognized as other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) encompasses all changes in stockholders’ equity, except those arising from investments and distributions to stockholders. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) includes consolidated net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Research and Development Costs
Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The establishment of a valuation allowance requires significant judgment and is impacted by various estimates.
Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense, related to stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, is recognized based on their grant-date fair values. The Company recognizes compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Estimated forfeitures are based on historical experience.
Stock Warrants
The Company evaluated the Pre-Funded Warrants issued in June 2022 (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) (see Note 13, “Stockholders’ Equity) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and determined that the warrants meet the criteria to be classified within stockholders’ equity and recorded the proceeds received for the Pre-Funded Warrants within additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company evaluated the Pre-Funded Warrants issued in February 2023 (the “February 2023 Warrants”) (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable” and Note 13, “Stockholders’ Equity") to ProFrac Services, LLC upon conversion of the Convertible Notes Payable and Initial ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable and determined the February 2023 Warrants meet the criteria to be classified within stockholders’ equity. The February 2023 Warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2023.
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.
Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include estimated variable consideration included in contract transaction price; the useful lives of property and equipment; long lived asset impairment assessments; stock-based compensation expense; valuation allowances for accounts receivable, inventories, and deferred tax assets; recoverability and timing of the realization of contract assets; and the fair value of liability classified Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable until they were converted and equity classified Pre-Funded Warrants.
Reclassification
Certain items have been reclassified from prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the FASB. We evaluate the applicability and impact of all authoritative guidance issued by the FASB. Guidance not listed below was assessed and determined to be either not applicable, clarifications of items listed below, immaterial or already adopted by the Company.
New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Adopted as of December 31, 2023
The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This standard improves reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures around significant segment expenses. The amendments require interim and annual disclosures of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In addition, public entities are required to disclose the amount of “other segment items” by segment and their composition; annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit/loss and assets; clarify if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing performance and resource allocation and disclose the name and title of the CODM. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments are applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the ASU on the related disclosures.
The FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). This amendment was created as a response to requests from investors, lenders, creditors and other parties to enhance transparency and effectiveness of tax disclosures to help them better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks affect an entity’s tax rate and potential future cash flows. ASU 2023-09 requires that entities annually disclose the amount of taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions and that those amounts are also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of funds received). ASU 2023-09 adds a requirement that entities disaggregate income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) between domestic and foreign. The amendments also require entities to disaggregate income tax expense (benefit) by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions.
The amendments under ASU 2023-09 also remove certain prior requirements. Public business entities are no longer required to disclose the nature and estimate of change in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months or make a statement that an estimate cannot be determined. In addition public business entities are no longer required to disclose the cumulative amount of each type of temporary difference for which a deferred tax liability has not been recognized due to the exception to recognizing deferred taxes related to subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures. ASU 2023-09 goes into effect for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements not yet issued or made available for issuance. Adoption of the ASU is on a prospective basis, with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the ASU on the related disclosures.
