Note 1 —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’stwo 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.

Note 2 —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 recoveries138203
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 improvements2-30 years
Machinery and equipment7-10 years
Furniture and fixtures3 years
Land improvements20 years
Transportation equipment2-5 years
Computer equipment and software3-7 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.

Note 9 —Debt and Convertible Notes Payable

Asset Based Loan

On August 14, 2023, the Company entered into a 24-month revolving loan and security agreement in connection with an asset-based loan (the “ABL”). The ABL is classified, under ASC 470, as current debt on our consolidated balance sheet due to the nature of the payment arrangements where the lender is paid from customer payments received into the Company’s collections account. The ABL provides up to $13.8 million of credit availability, which is limited by a borrowing base consisting of: (i)85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii)60% of the value of eligible inventory not to exceed 100% of the eligible accounts receivable.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $7.5 million outstanding under the ABL. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred $0.5 million in interest and fees related to the ABL, which included the annual fee of $0.1 million, that is included in interest expense in the Company’s statement of operations. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had incurred origination costs of $0.5 million related to the ABL that was recorded as deferred financing costs to be amortized over the term of the ABL.

Borrowings under the ABL bear interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (subject to a floor of 5.5%) plus 2.5% per annum. The interest rate under the ABL was 11.0% as of December 31, 2023. The ABL contains an annual commitment fee equal to 1.0% of the ABL’s borrowing base. Additionally, the Company will be assessed a non-usage fee of 0.25% per quarter based on the difference between the average daily outstanding balance and the borrowing base limit of the ABL. If the ABL is terminated prior to the end of its 24-month term, the Company is required to pay an early termination fee of 2.5% of the borrowing base limit of the ABL if terminated with more than 12 months remaining until the maturity date or 1.5% of the borrowing base limit of the ABL if terminated with less than 12 months remaining until the maturity date.

The ABL contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lender to accelerate the payment of any amounts borrowed. The ABL requires the Company to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the ABL) of not less than $11.0 million. In addition, the ABL provides the lender a blanket security interest on all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the ABL as of December 31, 2023.

Paycheck Protection Program Loans

In April 2020, the Company received a $4.8 million loan (the “Flotek PPP loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was created through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). In October 2021, the Flotek PPP loan maturity date was extended from April 15, 2022 to April 15, 2025. On January 5, 2023 the Company received notice from the SBA that $4.4 million of the $4.8 million principal amount and accrued interest to this date of $0.1 million, was forgiven. The remaining principal amount of $0.4 million and accrued interest, will be repaid over the remaining term of the loan through April 15, 2025 beginning on March 15, 2023. The forgiveness of the Flotek PPP loan was accounted for as an extinguishment of the debt and resulted in the Company recording a $4.5 million gain in the first quarter of 2023 comprising the principal amount forgiven of $4.4 million and accrued interest of $0.1 million.

Amended ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable

On May 17, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Initial ProFrac Agreement (the “Amended ProFrac Agreement” and collectively with the Initial ProFrac Agreement, the “ProFrac Agreement”) upon issuance of $50 million in aggregate principal amount of Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable (“Amended ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable”) to ProFrac. The Amended ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable accrued paid-in-kind interest at a rate of 10% per annum.

Upon maturity on May 17, 2023, the Amended ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable, remeasured to and carried at a fair value of $40.6 million (see Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements”), were converted on a pre-Reverse Stock Split basis, upon maturity, into 63,496,922 shares of common stock at a pre-Reverse Stock price of $0.8705 per share (10,582,821 common shares on a pre-Reverse Stock Split basis).

Note 10 —Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company categorizes financial assets and liabilities into the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and bases categorization within the hierarchy on the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement.

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity or that are based on the reporting entity’s assumptions about the inputs.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, ABL, accrued liabilities and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts.

Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Initial ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Notes Payable Key Inputs

The Initial ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable were measured at fair value at issuance and on a recurring basis. The Initial ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable had an initial fair value of $10.0 million on February 2, 2022. The Initial ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable were classified as Level 2 at the initial measurement upon issuance due to the use of a quoted price for a similar liability at that date (the PIPE transaction), and subsequently classified as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs.

The estimated value of the Initial ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable as of December 31, 2022 was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation used to estimate the fair value of the Initial ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable that matured on February 2, 2023, as of December 31, 2022 were as follows:

December 31, 2022
Risk-free interest rate4.12%
Expected volatility100.0%
Term until liquidation (years)0.09
Stock price (pre-Reverse Stock Split basis)$1.12

On February 2, 2023, the Initial ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable were remeasured, upon maturity, to a fair value of $15.1 million based on the pre-Reverse Stock Split closing price of the shares of common stock of $1.19, on the date of conversion. The fair value adjustment was a $0.8 million and $3.3 million increase for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Amended ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable Key Inputs

On May 17, 2022, the Company measured the Amended ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable classified as Level 3 using a Monte Carlo simulation at an estimated fair value of $69.5 million. The Company reduced the discount rate assumed due to the reduced likelihood of occurrence of any of the default events in the shorter term remaining on the notes. The estimated value of the Amended ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable as at December 31, 2022 was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation used to estimate the fair value of the Amended ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable, that matured on May 17, 2023, as of December 31, 2022 were as follows:

Risk-free interest rate4.59%
Expected volatility100.0%
Term until liquidation (years)0.38
Stock price (pre-Reverse Stock Split basis)$1.12
Discount rate4.59%

On May 17, 2023, the Amended ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable were remeasured, at maturity, to a fair value of $40.6 million based on the pre-Reverse Stock Split closing price of the shares of common stock of $0.64, on the date of conversion. The fair value adjustment was a decrease of $30.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The fair value adjustment was a decrease of $3.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company’s non-financial assets, including property and equipment and operating lease ROU assets, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to adjustment to their fair value in certain circumstances.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $192.9 million, including $46.4 million expiring in various amounts from 2029 through 2037 which can offset 100% of taxable income and $146.5 million that has an indefinite carryforward period which can offset 80% of taxable income per year. Additionally, the Company has an estimated $94.2 million in certain state NOL carryforwards, $0.2 million in Section 163(j) interest limitation carryforwards and $3.8 million in tax credit carryforwards. As a result of the ownership change experienced in 2023, the Company’s ability to use NOLs to reduce taxable income is generally limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to an annual amount, of $3.5 million plus an uplift of $24.5 million. NOLs that exceed the Section 382 limitation in any year continue to be allowed as carryforwards until they expire and can be used to offset taxable income for years within the carryover period subject to the limitation in each year. The Company’s use of new NOLs arising after the date of the ownership change would not be impacted by the Section 382 limitation. If the Company does not generate a sufficient level of taxable income prior to the expiration of the pre-2018 NOL carryforward periods, then the ability to apply those NOLs as offsets to future taxable income is lost. Based on an analysis of the Section 382 limitation, the Company estimates that $31.3 million of the state NOL carryforwards (subject to additional state-by-state analysis) and $3.8 million of the tax credit carryforwards will expire unutilized. Although the ownership change will significantly limit the ability of the Company to utilize the pre-change net operating losses and credits, the Company does not expect a significant impact to its financial statements given the valuation allowance that is recorded to estimate the realizability of the deferred tax assets.

The Company’s cumulative losses (before permanent items) of $48.0 million in the recent three years ended December 31, 2023 are negative evidence that it will not likely generate sufficient future income to utilize its deferred tax assets. Therefore, the Company believes that it is not more likely than not that it will realize its deferred tax assets in all taxing jurisdictions with the exception of a portion related to the states of Louisiana and Texas. Therefore, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax asset realizability. The change in valuation allowance was $5.2 million and $9.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company does not have documented plans to reinvest the unremitted earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had approximately $6.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively, in unremitted earnings from its foreign jurisdictions. As a result of the 2017 Tax Act these earnings have been previously taxed in the U.S. although they have not been repatriated. However, certain withholding taxes may need to be paid upon repatriation depending on the US treaty with the applicable country. Because all of the Company’s foreign earnings have been previously taxed, the requirement to record a deferred tax liability on such unremitted earnings is not applicable.

The Company has performed an analysis of its tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, concluding all tax positions taken were highly certain. As of December 31, 2023, the Company is not under examination in any federal/national jurisdictions. However, the 2016 and 2017 report years with respect to research and development credits are under review by the Texas Comptroller’s office. The tax returns for the years ended 2020 through 2022 remain subject to examination in the US, and the tax returns for the years ended 2019 through 2022 remain subject to examination in various state jurisdictions.

Note 12 —Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Except as disclosed below, management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On May 23, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with John Chisholm (a former CEO of the Company) to resolve a claim made by Mr. Chisholm in arbitration for payment of outstanding severance and claims made by the Company against Mr. Chisholm. The settlement resulted in the reversal of $2.3 million of accrued severance costs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and is included as a reduction to severance costs in our consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the matter related to Mr. Chisholm, the Company commenced arbitration and other legal proceedings against Casey Doherty/ Doherty & Doherty LLP (Flotek’s former outside general counsel) and Moss Adams LLP and its predecessor, Hein & Associates LLP (Flotek’s former independent public audit firm) to recover damages. During June 2023, the Company entered into a settlement with Moss Adams LLP and its predecessor, Hein & Associates LLP. During October 2023, the Company entered into a settlement with Mr. Casey Doherty and Doherty & Doherty LLP. As a result of the various settlements during 2023, the Company considers this matter closed.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk within trade accounts receivable, and related party 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 major U.S. financial institutions and balances often exceed insurable amounts.

Note 13 —Stockholders’ Equity

Reverse stock split

On September 14, 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-to-6 (“Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was completed on September 25, 2023 and resulted in 184,438,695 issued and outstanding shares of common stock being converted into 30,739,820 shares of common stock.

The Reverse Stock Split had no effect on the par value or on the number of authorized shares of common stock. The Company issued one whole share of common stock to any shareholder that would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Therefore, no fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and no cash or other consideration was paid in connection with any fractional shares that resulted from the Reverse Stock Split.

As the par value per share of common stock was not changed in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, we recorded a decrease to common stock on our consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2022. The Company adjusted the number of outstanding shares of common stock and treasury stock on the consolidated balance sheet and in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for all periods presented to reflect the impacts of the Reverse Stock Split. Where we disclose the number of shares of common stock within the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements we have presented both the pre-Reverse Stock Split and post-Reverse Stock Split amount as denoted.

Unless otherwise noted, all references in the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements to the number of shares, per share data, restricted stock and stock option data have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for each period presented.

Pre-Funded Warrants

On June 21, 2022, ProFrac Holdings II, LLC paid $19.5 million for Pre-Funded Warrants of the Company, representing a 20% premium to the 30-day volume average price of the Company’s common stock at the close of business on the day prior to the date of the issuance of the Prefunded Warrants. The PreFunded Warrants were recorded in equity at their fair value of $11.1 million, estimated using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, less $1.2 million of transaction costs paid. The remaining cash received of $8.4 million was recognized as an equity contribution. The Prefunded Warrants permit ProFrac Holdings II, LLC to purchase on a pre-Reverse Stock Split basis 13,104,839 shares of common stock of the Company (2,184,140 shares of the Company’s common stock on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis) at an exercise price equal to $0.0001 per share. The Prefunded Warrants, net of transaction fees of $1.1 million, and the equity contribution of $8.4 million from ProFrac Holdings, II, LLC are included in additional paid-in capital.

The key inputs into the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model used to estimate the fair value of the Pre-Funded Warrants as of the issuance on June 21, 2022 were as follows:

Risk-free interest rate3.21%

Shares issued as restricted stock awards to employees under the 2018 long-term incentive plan that were forfeited were 20,000 and 6,591 during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, are accounted for as treasury stock. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, forfeited stock awards returned to treasury stock were 66,000 shares and 5,009 shares, respectively.

Note 14 —Stock-Based Compensation and Other Benefit Plans

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was approved by stockholders in 2012. The Company registered 500,000 shares of its common stock, currently held as treasury shares, for issuance under the ESPP. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP allows participants to purchase common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the last business day of athree-month offering period which coincides with calendar quarters. Payroll deductions may not exceed 10% of an employee’s compensation. In addition, for each calendar year, an employee may not be granted purchase rights valued over $25,000, as determined at the time such purchase right is granted. The fair value of the discount associated with shares purchased under the plan is recognized as stock-based compensation expense and was $14 thousand and $10 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The total fair value of the shares purchased under the plan during each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The employee payment associated with participation in the plan occurs through payroll deductions.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock unit grants and stock purchased under the Company’s ESPP was $(0.3) million and $3.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 included an adjustment for actual forfeitures of $1.6 million that reduced the total stock-compensation expense.

During 2023, the Company settled vested equity awards of a terminated officer through a cash payment. The cash payment was made to the employee in lieu of the equity awards, which were previously granted and vested. The settlement amount was determined based on the fair value of the equity awards at the time of termination. The Company used the Black-Scholes Model to value the vested equity awards. This transaction resulted in a reduction of the Company's equity awards liability and a corresponding outflow of cash for $617 thousand.

The key inputs to the Black-Scholes Model used to estimate the fair value of the vested equity awards, as of the date of the termination were as follows:

Risk-free interest rate3.79%
Expected volatility of common stock90.00%
Expected life of options in years6.92
Stock price (pre-Reverse Stock Split basis)$1.37
Strike Price$1.93

401(k) Retirement Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan for the benefit of eligible employees in the U.S. All employees are eligible to participate in the plan upon employment. The Company currently matches contributions at 100% of up to 2% of an employee’s compensation.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, compensation expense included $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the Company’s 401(k) match.

Note 15 —Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the adjusted net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding combined with dilutive common share equivalents outstanding, if the effect is dilutive. Potentially dilutive common share equivalents consist of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible notes payable, exercise of stock warrants and vesting and settlement of stock awards. The dilutive effect of non-vested stock issued under share‑based compensation plans, shares issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), employee stock options outstanding, and the prefunded stock warrants are computed using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes is computed using the if converted method in accordance with ASU 2020-06, which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2022.

The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows (in thousands):

If the minimum volumes are not achieved in any given year, ProFrac Services, LLC shall pay to the Company, as liquidated damages 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 such calendar year.

Note 18 —Business Segment, Geographic and Major Customer and Supplier Information

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The operations of the Company are categorized into the following reportable segments:

Chemistry Technologies. The CT segment includes green specialty chemistries, logistics and technology services, which enable its customers to pursue improved efficiencies and performance throughout the life cycle of their wells, helping customers improve their sustainability and operational goals. Customers of the CT segment include major integrated oil and gas companies, oilfield services companies, independent oil and gas companies, national and state-owned oil companies, and international supply chain management companies.

Data Analytics. The DA segment includes the design, development, production, sale and support of equipment and services that create and provide valuable information on the composition and properties of energy customers’ hydrocarbon fluids. The company markets products and services that support in-line data analysis of hydrocarbon components and properties. Customers of the DA segment span across the entire oil and gas market, from upstream production to midstream facilities to refineries and distribution networks.

Performance is based upon a variety of criteria. The primary financial measure is segment operating income (loss).
