FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC. ANNOUNCES

STRONG THIRD QUARTER 2007 EARNINGS

HOUSTON, October 31, 2007, - Flotek Industries, Inc. (AMEX: FTK) a technology-driven growth company serving the oil, gas, and mining industries, today announced the Company earned net income of $5.0 million, or $0.26 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $3.5 million or $0.19 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2006. Net income and fully diluted earnings per share increased 44% and 37%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2007 versus the third quarter of 2006. Sequentially, third quarter revenue was 10% higher and net income was 4% higher than the second quarter of 2007.

Flotek effected a 2-for-1 split of its common stock for stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 3, 2007. Flotek stock began trading at the split-adjusted price on July 12, 2007. All earnings per share calculations reflect the new split-adjusted share count.

Flotek’s revenues for the third quarter of 2007 rose 43% to $41.7 million, compared to $29.2 million for the third quarter of 2006. Revenue increased in our Chemical and Logistics and Drilling Products segments due to increased acceptance of our products, the acquisition of Triumph Drilling Tools, Inc. in January 2007, the acquisition of Sooner Energy Services, Inc. in August 2007, and expansion of our rental tool fleet. Approximately 65% of the overall revenue growth related to organic growth of our existing businesses.

Jerry D. Dumas, Sr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Flotek remarked, “The drop in Rocky Mountain wellhead gas prices and associated drop in gas drilling and production delayed sales in our chemical, drilling and artificial lift divisions. Despite this, we are on track and performing at or above plan and making progress on several strategic initiatives. Based on our performance we reiterate our guidance of $1.00 per share on a fully diluted basis for 2007. “

We report our results under three segments:

 

   

The Chemicals and Logistics segment develops, manufactures and markets specialty chemicals used in oil and gas well cementing, stimulation, acidizing, drilling, and production treatment. The segment provides bulk blending and transload services for products used in well cementing.

   

The Drilling Products segment rents, inspects, manufactures and markets downhole drilling equipment for the energy, mining, water well and industrial drilling sectors.

   

The Artificial Lift segment manufactures and markets artificial lift equipment which includes the Petrovalve line of beam pump components, electric submersible pumps, gas separators, valves and services to support coal bed methane production.

Chemicals and Logistics Segment

Chemicals and Logistics revenue increased $9.7 million, or 71%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared the same period in 2006. The increase in revenue is a result of an increase in sales volume of our proprietary specialty chemicals to a broader client base in an expanding geographic area. The most significant revenue growth occurred in the Mid-Continent, South Texas and


Gulf Coast regions. Sales of our proprietary, biodegradable, environmentally benign ‘green’ chemicals grew 135% to $16.0 million in the third quarter of 2007 from $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2006.

 

On September 5, 2007 the Company acquired Sooner for $7.1 million in cash to establish a platform for expansion into production chemicals. Sooner develops, produces and distributes specialty chemical products and services for the drilling and production of natural gas. The Sooner acquisition contributed approximately $0.5 million in revenue during the third quarter of 2007.

Income from operations increased $4.1 million, or 86%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue increased to 38% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 35% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 due to increased overall sales activity. The increase in operating profit is driven by a continued shift in sales mix to higher margin patented and proprietary products. Green chemical sales made up approximately 69% of overall revenue for the segment for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 50% for the same period in 2006.

Drilling Products Segment

Drilling Products revenue increased $4.3 million, or 44%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Growth in rentals and services associated with the acquisition of Triumph and the expansion of our mud motor fleet contributed significantly to the increase.

Income from operations decreased $0.2 million, or 11%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue decreased to 12% in the third quarter of 2007 from 20% in the third quarter of 2006. The decrease in operating profit as a percentage of revenue is due to a decrease in product sales (which tend to have a fixed level of indirect costs) as a percentage of total revenues, coupled with increased indirect personnel and travel costs, and an incremental $0.7 million of depreciation and amortization associated with acquired assets.

Artificial Lift Segment

Artificial Lift revenue was $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a 26% decrease, versus $5.8 million for the same period in 2006. Sales have decreased significantly due to an overall decline in coal bed methane activity in the Powder River Basin as a result of lower wellhead gas prices in the Rocky Mountains, pipeline capacity constraints and a reduction in sales to a significant customer.

Income from operations decreased $0.4 million, or 45%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 due to decreased sales and service activity levels. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue decreased to 11% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 15% for the same period in 2006.

General Corporate

Operating expenses for the general corporate segment were $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2006. The increase was driven by a $0.5 million rise in payroll expenses for the addition of accounting and compliance staff, offset by a slight decrease in professional fees. In addition, $0.6 million of equity compensation expense associated with restricted stock and option grants made to employees, directors, and officers, was incurred in the third quarter of 2007 which was not


incurred in 2006. Approximately $0.5 million of the equity compensation expense relates to restricted stock and option awards made to the CEO and CFO as part of one year and five year retention programs. Due to the increase in debt associated with the acquisition of Triumph, equity investment in Cavo Drilling Motors, and the acquisition of Sooner, interest expense increased from $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2006 to $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2007.
