FLOTEK ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

HOUSTON, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Flotek Industries, Inc. ("Flotek" or the "Company") (NYSE: FTK) today announced first quarter results for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

"We closed the quarter in a strong position with March performance returning to pre-pandemic levels, leading to improved quarterly revenue and adjusted EBITDA compared to last quarter. In addition, we closed on our PIPE transaction in the quarter, securing growth capital for the initial phase of our contract with ProFrac to deliver our full-suite of downhole chemistries to a significant portion of its hydraulic fracturing fleets in North America. The second quarter is off to a strong start with our first full month of services to ProFrac completed in April. We are now supplying chemistry to 10 ProFrac fleets across 4 major basins. Through this agreement, E&Ps now have a comprehensive, vertically integrated completions solution that reduces emissions and delivers green chemistries, thereby protecting air, water, land and people," said John W. Gibson, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "We are grateful to our shareholders for voting in strong support of our long-term contract, thus helping unlock our future with more than $2 billion in revenue over the next decade, excluding other organic growth opportunities. While we will have ramp-up costs associated with the ProFrac contract in the coming quarters, we are optimistic about the future and look forward to improving financial performance throughout the year and we are on target to achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA excluding convertible notes amortization before the end of the fourth quarter 2022."

Key First Quarter 2022 Financial Results 

The first quarter results, which are substantially comprised of revenue from customers other than ProFrac, are as follows:

• Consolidated Revenues: Flotek generated first quarter 2022 consolidated revenue of $12.9 million, up 6% from $12.2 million in the fourth quarter 2021, driven by increased activity with domestic and international energy chemistry customers.
• Net Income: The Company recorded a net loss of $10.7 million, or $0.15 per basic/diluted share, in the first quarter 2022 compared to a net loss of $16.2 million, or $0.22 per basic/diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021. The sequential improvement is primarily due to the absence of the goodwill impairment of $8.1 million that was reported in the fourth quarter of 2021, partially offset by a charge for the change in fair value of contingent convertible notes payable of $3.9 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2022 was a loss of $5.4 million, a 5% improvement compared to a loss of $5.7 million in the fourth quarter 2021, improving generally in-line with revenues, partially offset by ramp-up costs associated with increased activity associated with the ProFrac agreement.

Operational & Segment Highlights

• In the first quarter, the Company entered into a long-term supply agreement with ProFrac Services, LLC, to provide full downhole chemistry solutions for the greater of 33% of ProFrac's crews or 10 crews minimum for three years. Subsequently, the Company entered into an amended agreement with ProFrac Holdings, LLC to expand the Agreement to a term of 10 years and up to 30 hydraulic fracturing fleets, which was overwhelmingly approved by shareholders on May 9, 2022. Combined, the contracts are expected to exceed $2 billion in revenue over the next decade. Additional details can be found in the Company's SEC and 10-Q filings.
• First quarter 2022 Chemistry Technologies revenues were $11.8 million, up 2% sequentially and 15% year-over-year, outpacing market activity which was flat in the quarter. Customer diversification continued with both domestic and international E&P operators with 12% of quarterly revenue attributed to new customers. Additionally, since Q1 2021, the segment's customer base has grown by more than 37%, reducing customer concentration and risk.
• First quarter 2022 Data Analytics revenues were $1.1 million, up 83% sequentially and down 27% year-over-year. Sequential improvement was driven by increased interest across midstream and transportation customers that are increasingly interested in driving facilities efficiencies to help meet ESG goals.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

• As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash and equivalents of $24.8 million compared to $11.5 million in the fourth quarter 2021, benefitted by the Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) transaction with a consortium of investors, previously disclosed.
• Flotek also had $4.8 million in Payroll Protection Program loans outstanding. The Company has applied for forgiveness for substantially all of its PPP loans and has received an extension of the loan maturity date from April 15, 2022, to April 5, 2025, reducing the current portion of long-term debt from $4.8 million to $1.4 million as of December 31, 2021.
• During the first quarter, the Company continued progress on its plans to sell its warehouse facility in Monahans, Texas and its manufacturing facility in Waller, Texas, which were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2022. Subsequently, on April 18, 2022, the Company closed on its contract to sell the Waller facility for $4.3 million. The proceeds will be included in the Company's second quarter 2022 results. In addition, the Company is in the later stages of executing an agreement to sell the Monahans facility with an anticipated close in the coming quarters.
