FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC. ANNOUNCES 2005 RESULTS

HOUSTON, March 9, 2006 - Flotek Industries, Inc. (AMEX: FTK) announces record revenues of $52.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 141.6% compared to $21.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in revenues is the result of increased market share with existing customers, the addition of new customers, and the acquisition of three drilling tool companies in 2005.

Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $10.1 million, which was a 235.8% increase over $3.0 million in income from operations the previous year. Changes in income from operations for the primary divisions follows:

Chemicals and Logistics: Income from operations for the chemicals and logistics segment increased 73.0% from $4.7 million in 2004 to $8.2 million in 2005, based on sales in 2005 of $29.6 million. Organic growth in the segment resulted from increased market share, geographic expansion and the development of new proprietary products and product applications.

Drilling Products: The drilling products segment had a 1200.3% increase in income from operations from $0.4 million in 2004 to $4.7 million in 2005, based on sales in 2005 of $21.9 million. The acquisition of Spidle Sales and Service, Inc. in January 2005 and the acquisition of Harmon Machine Works, Inc. and Precision LOR in August 2005 significantly expanded our customer base, geographic footprint and line of products and services.

Production Products: The production products segment generated $0.2 million in income from operations in 2005 as compared to a loss from operations of $0.4 million in 2004. The turnaround in this group is a result of increased international sales into Central and South America, Russia and the Middle East.

General Corporate: Operating expenses for the general corporate segment increased to $2.9 million in 2005 from $1.7 million in 2004. As a percentage of revenues, these costs decreased from 7.9% in 2004 to 5.5% in 2005. The absolute increase is due to continued expansion of the Company, and the corporate personnel required to support a growing public company. In 2005, the Company incurred expenses and costs associated with the stock offering, proxy statement, and SB-2 registration statement, and expenses related to the listing on the American Stock Exchange
