Organization and Nature of Operations

Organization and Nature of Operations

General

Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek” or the “Company”) creates unique solutions to reduce the environmental impact of energy on air, water, land and people. A technology-driven, specialty green chemistry and data company, Flotek helps customers across industrial and commercial markets improve their environmental performance.

The Company’s Chemistry Technologies (“CT”) segment develops, manufactures, packages, distributes, delivers, and markets green specialty chemicals that aim to enhance the profitability of hydrocarbon producers.

The Company’s Data Analytics (“DA”) segment aims to enable users to maximize the value of their hydrocarbon associated processes by providing analytics associated with their hydrocarbon streams in seconds rather than minutes or days. The real-time access to information prevents waste, reduces reprocessing and allows users to pursue automation of their hydrocarbon streams to maximize their profitability.

The Company’s two operating segments, CT and DA, are supported by its Research & Innovation advanced laboratory capabilities. For further discussion of our operations and segments, see Note 18, “Business Segment, Geographic and Major Customer Information.”

Going Concern

The Company currently funds its operations with cash on hand, availability under the ABL (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”) and other liquid assets. Although the Company has a history of negative cash flows from operations and losses, the Company recognized $24.3 million and $24.7 million of gross profit and net income, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2023. While we believe that our cash, liquid assets, and availability under the ABL will provide us with sufficient financial resources to fund operations to meet our capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due, uncertainty surrounding the long term stability and strength of the oil and gas markets could have a negative impact on our liquidity.

As defined and discussed in Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable” and Note 17, “Related Party Transactions”, the ProFrac Agreement contains minimum requirements for chemistry purchases. If the minimum volumes are not achieved within the applicable measurement period, ProFrac Services LLC is required to pay to the Company, as liquidated damages (“Contract Shortfall Fees”), an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the difference between (i) the aggregate purchase price of the quantity of products comprising the minimum purchase obligation and (ii) the actual purchased volume during the measurement period. The current measurement period for Contract Shortfall Fees is June 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The minimum purchase requirements were not met during the current measurement period, and as a result, related party revenues and receivables for the year ended and as of December 31, 2023 include $20.1 million in Contract Shortfall Fees of which $10.0 million has been collected through March 11, 2024. The Company expects to receive the remaining $10.1 million on or before April 8, 2024. For 2024, the measurement period will be January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. If the minimum purchase requirements are not met during the year ended December 31, 2024, there will be additional Contract Shortfall Fees due during the first quarter of 2025.

Based upon the improvement in our outlook for future cash flows from operations that includes the collection of the Contract Shortfall Fees related to 2023 of $20.1 million, combined with cash on hand and availability under the ABL, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet its capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due in the next twelve months. However, the Company cannot guarantee a sufficient level of cash flows in the future. The Company had previously disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2022, that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern existed. As described, the Company has concluded that those conditions and events raising the substantial doubt no longer exist. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
