Executive Summary
Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek” or the “Company”) creates solutions to reduce the environmental impact of energy on air, water, land and people. A technology-driven, specialty green chemistry and data technology company, Flotek helps customers across industrial, commercial, and consumer markets improve their ESG performance. The Company serves specialty chemistry needs for both domestic and international energy markets as well as applications of U.S. manufactured surface cleaners, disinfectants for industrial, commercial and consumer use.
The Company has two operating segments, CT and DA, which are both supported by the Company’s continuing Research and Innovation advanced laboratory capabilities.
The Company’s CT segment develops, manufactures, packages, distributes, delivers, and markets green, specialty chemicals that help their customers meet their ESG and operational goals, enhancing the profitability of hydrocarbon producers and supplying professional chemistries that clean surfaces in both commercial and personal settings to help reduce the spread of bacteria, viruses and germs.
The Company’s DA segment enables users to maximize the value of their hydrocarbon associated processes by providing real-time data and analytics associated with the streams in seconds rather than minutes or days. These real-time data and analytics prevent waste, reduces reprocessing, and allows users to pursue automation of their hydrocarbon streams to maximize their profitability, thereby improving ESG performance. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company acquired 100% ownership of JP3 in a cash-and-stock transaction. JP3’s real-time data platforms combine the energy industry’s only field-deployable, inline optical analyzer with proprietary cloud visualization and analytics, delivers increased profitability for its customers. In conjunction with the acquisition of JP3, the Company created the DA segment.
Company Overview
Chemistry Technologies
The Company’s CT segment provides sustainable, optimized chemistry solutions that maximize our customer’s value by elevating their ESG performance, lowering operational costs, and delivering improved return on invested capital. The Company’s proprietary green chemistries, specialty chemistries, logistics, and technology services enable its customers to pursue improved efficiencies and performance throughout the life cycle of its desired chemical applications program. The Company designs, develops, manufactures, packages, distributes and markets optimized chemistry solutions that accelerate existing sustainability practices to reduce the environmental impact of energy on the air, water, land and people.
Customers of the CT segment include those of energy related markets as well as consumer and industrial applications. Major integrated oil and gas companies, oilfield services companies, independent oil and gas companies, national and state-owned oil companies, geothermal energy companies, solar energy companies and advanced alternative energy companies benefit from best-in-class technology, field operations, and continuous improvement exercises that go beyond existing sustainability practices.
Data Analytics
The DA segment delivers real-time information and insights to our customers to enable optimization of operations and reduction of emissions and their carbon intensity. Real-time composition and physical properties are delivered simultaneously on their refined fuels, NGLs, natural gas, crude oil, and condensates using the industry’s only field-deployable, in-line optical near-infra-red spectrometer that generates no emissions. The instrument's response is processed with advanced chemometrics modeling, artificial intelligence, and machine learning algorithms to deliver these valuable insights every 15 seconds.
Customers using this technology have obtained significant benefits including additional profits by enhancing operations in crude/condensates stabilization, blending operations, reduction of transmix, increasing efficiencies and optimization of gas plants, and ensuring product quality while reducing giveaways i.e., providing higher value products at the lower value products prices. More efficient operations has the benefit of reducing their carbon footprint e.g., less flaring and reduction in energy expenditure for compression and re-processing. Our customers in North America include the supermajors, some of the largest midstream companies and large gas processing plants. We have developed a new line of Verax analyzers for deployment internationally which was recently certified for compliance in hazardous locations and harsh weather conditions.

The purpose of R&I is to supply the Company’s segments with enhanced products and services that generate current and future revenues, while advising Company management on opportunities concerning technology, environmental and industry trends. The R&I facilities support advances in chemistry performance, detection, optimization and manufacturing.
Outlook
Our business is subject to numerous variables which impact our outlook and expectations given the shifting conditions of the industry and weather volatility. We have based our outlook on the market and weather conditions we perceive today. Changes often occur.
Energy
We expect North American and International onshore activity to continue to improve throughout 2022 from fourth quarter 2021 levels for the next twelve months provided that commodity prices remain at or above current levels. The strongest potential growth throughout 2022 will likely comes from private, rather than publicly traded exploration and production companies. Private exploration and production companies operate the majority of U.S. land rigs and react quickly to changing commodity prices. In the current commodity price environment, we expect the private companies to increase activity and publicly traded companies to have modest spending increases in the year ahead. Additionally, we have reestablished our ability to sell product through other service companies and believe sales through indirect channels should accelerate in 2022.
Industrial
In 2020, the Company launched a diversified line of EPA and FDA compliant products that target industrial, agricultural and consumer markets with particular focus on customers that are seeking to accelerate their focus on sustainability and minimized impact on the environment. The Company’s product line includes adjuvants, disinfectants, surface cleaners, degreasers, solvents and a multitude of proprietary chemistries for industrial, commercial and consumer use. The Company believes these adjacent markets provide an opportunity to diversify and expand the Company’s portfolio of chemistry solutions to meet the growing demand. We have signed four manufacturing sales representation groups with 150+ sales personnel covering 48 states. We will be training and educating their representatives during the next two quarters. The leverage sales effort is anticipated to accelerate sales in the second half of 2022.
Digital Analytics
The use of data and digital analytics is a growing trend in all industries where technology is leveraged to analyze large datasets of operational information to improve performance, as well as for predictive maintenance, advanced safety measures and reduced environmental impact of operations. Verax has gained a foothold in NA markets for critical applications where compositional information is needed in real-time. The technology delivers real-time insight on valuable operations data like vapor pressure, boiling point, flash point, octane level, API gravity, viscosity, BTU and more, simultaneously. We continue to work with our customers to identify further facilities and applications where our technology has the highest value. We expect to open and establish our international customer base with our new generation of internationally certified online analyzers. The new analyzers are specifically designed to withstand routine exposure to extreme outdoor environments, ambient temperatures up to 55°C/131°F and sandstorm pollution common to important international environments. We anticipate international sales to increase over the next twelve months because of the newly certified equipment. To drive recurring revenue, we continue to build on the modular nature of our sensor and analysis packages with new data processing techniques that enhance the value of our installations. AIDA (Automated Interface Detection Algorithm) provides real-time detection of interfaces in a liquids pipeline without the need for additional sampling or chemometric modeling. The application can identify products such as refined fuels, crude and NGLs with its advanced machine learning algorithms and detect interfaces within 60 seconds. This allows operators to cut batches quickly and accurately, reduce transmix and minimize off-spec product that requires downgrades.
ESG
24
ESG-focused solutions continue to be an emphasis for the Company as the energy, industrial and consumer markets are seeking to accelerate their focus on sustainability and minimized impact on the environment. The Company’s products and services offer a significant benefit to businesses seeking to improve their ESG performance, including improving safety, reliability and efficiency of their operations. The Company offers sustainable chemistry solutions, tailoring product selection to enable operational efficiencies, improve water management and reduce greenhouse gas emissions for its customers in the exploration and production sector of the oil and gas industry. Further, the Company’s patented line of Complex nano-Fluid® (also known as CnF®) products are formulated with highly effective, plant-based solvents offering safer, renewable and sustainable alternatives to toxic BTEX-based (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene) chemicals. Benzene is a carcinogenic chemical that can cause acute physical damage, chronic blood disorders, reproductive disorders, leukemia and when exposed to the atmosphere, benzene creates smog, which can be carried to the ground through rain and contaminates water bodies and soil. Additionally, the Company’s real-time sensor technology helps to enable process and operational efficiencies, minimize waste and processing and reduce emissions.
The Company believes the industry focus on maintaining a “social license to operate” provides the platform to accelerate the adoption of our greener practices and chemistries. We believe the performance-driven ESG focus of the Company assists in reducing environmental liabilities and improving returns for our customers.
Supply Chain
During 2020 and 2021 challenging supply chain issues emerged that “will continue into 2022” according to Secretary of Transportation Peter Buttigieg. The anticipated activity increases will strain supply chains generally. The principal supply issues facing our industry for the next twelve months will include:
•Rising Freight Costs;
•Delays due to Port Congestion;
•Labor Shortages and
•Demand Forecasting.
All bidding will require the risk of shipping costs and delays be factored into proposals. Trucking availability and pricing will impact North American opportunities while sea-freight costs will impact sales of North American manufactured goods being delivered internationally for the foreseeable future. The import of raw materials from China will also incur price increases. Accelerating tensions between China and the U.S. could also result in supply disruption.
Weather
During 2021, Hurricane Ida and other weather related events caused significant disruptions to the energy industry in the US. The Company was able to maintain consistent operations throughout the year and provide support to our partners in Louisiana and surrounding areas during Hurricane Ida. The Company’s operations, as well as those of our primary customer base, are periodically subjected to potential weather related disruptions. The Company monitors and carefully evaluates guidance from authoritative sources including the National Weather Service and other agencies. We currently do not anticipate weather related events to have a material impact on first quarter results.
COVID-19
The impacts of COVID-19 continue to affect the U.S. and global economy. The protocols and processes established to maintain business continuity with COVID-19 have proven robust enough to diminish concern about business disruption unless new variants emerge. The resumption of travel while often onerous has begun to accelerate and in person customer visits that began in earnest during the third quarter will continue to accelerate.

Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, decreased $9.9 million, or 18.6%, versus the same period of 2020. Revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021 reflected a loss of revenue in the CT segment associated with two major customers changing ownership during 2021, losses related to the normalization and decline of market demand for sanitizers and non-recurring citrus terpenes sales. Current year revenue decreases were partially offset by the incremental post acquisition JP3 revenues generated in the second, third, and fourth quarter of 2021.
Consolidated cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2021, decreased $41.8 million, or 51.1% versus the same period of 2020. In 2020 cost of goods sold included $11.7 million purchase commitment and excess terpene reserve of which $7.6 million was reversed in 2021. This resulted in a $19.3 million decrease year on year. Additionally, both segments had non-recurring product rationalization expenses in 2020 of an aggregate $9.6 million. In 2021, the decline in revenues in addition to cost reduction initiatives including reducing personnel and facility costs also contributed to the year on year decrease.
Selling general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are not directly attributable to products sold or services provided. SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021, decreased $2.6 million, or 11.4%, versus the same period of 2020. SG&A expenses decreased as a result of a reduction in compensation costs including severance partially offset by an increase in non-recurring legal related costs related to litigation and investigations.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.4 million, or 70.4% for the year ended December 31, 2021, versus the same period of 2020, primarily due to impairments of property and equipment and other intangible assets recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020.
26
Research and development (“R&D”) costs decreased $1.7 million, or 23.2% for the year ended December 31, 2021, versus the same period of 2020 due to lower personnel costs as a result of our reduction in workforce from 2020 to 2021.
Loss from operations improved by $112.2 million, or 78.1% for the year ended December 31, 2021, versus the same periods in 2020. The loss from operations improvement is primarily a result of the improvement to gross loss and reductions of expenses for SG&A, depreciation and amortization and R&D described above, and the impairment expenses of $81.7 million recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to impairment expenses of $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Loss before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2021, was also impacted by an $0.9 million gain from the forgiveness of the JP3 Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan, and for the year ended December 31, 2020 by a $0.6 million gain from lease termination.
The Company’s income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2021 was minimal. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $6.2 million in 2020, primarily as a result of the extended net operating loss carryback provisions included in the CARES Act.
Results by Segment (in thousands):
Chemistry Technologies Results of Operations:
Years ended December 31
CT revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, decreased $11.4 million compared to 2020. The decrease in revenue during 2021 compared to 2020 was driven by impacts from industry consolidation and international activity. While the pandemic continued to weigh on economic activity in 2021, global supply and demand has steadily normalized through the second half of 2021. Revenue from two major customers was reduced temporarily as a result of market consolidation in the Permian basin in addition the normalization and decline of market demand for sanitizers and non-recurring citrus terpenes sales. Additionally, international activity, primarily in the Middle East, decreased year over year. CT also granted price concessions in our effort to maintain and obtain market share.
Loss from operations for the CT segment for the year ended December 31, 2021, improved $83.0 million, or 93.9% compared to 2020. The improvement in loss from operations is due to significantly lower expenses, primarily the result of impairment charges of property and equipment of $54.7 million in 2020. Secondly, expenses during 2020 included an $11.7 million charge to reserve for terpene purchase commitment losses, while expenses during 2021 were reduced by a $7.6 million gain as a result of reaching a settlement agreement for terpene purchase commitment. Certain cost reduction initiatives to optimize our cost structure contributed to the current decrease in operating losses by reducing personnel, office costs, equipment and facilities costs as the Company continues to consolidate its physical facilities and equipment rentals to align with activity.

Years ended December 31,
On May 18, 2020, the Company purchased JP3 and formed the DA segment. DA revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, increased $1.5 million compared to revenue for 2020, which was only the post-acquisition partial period revenues between May 18, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Loss from operations for the DA segment for the year ended December 31, 2021 improved $24.2 million or 66.6% compared to 2020. The improvement in loss from operations is primarily the result of impairment charges of property and equipment, other intangible assets and goodwill of $24.2 million in 2020 compared to a goodwill impairment charge of $8.1 million in 2021. Additionally, operating expenses in 2020 were impacted by $3.9 million related to product rationalization and also by the change in fair value of the contingent consideration for the JP3 acquisition. A portion of the stock performance earn-out provision was triggered in 2020 resulting in $2.7 million of charges to cost of goods
27
sold in 2020, while the revaluations of the contingent consideration in 2021 resulted in reductions to cost of goods sold of $0.8 million. Operating margins in 2021 were positively impacted by increased revenue and margins.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Overview
The Company’s ongoing capital requirements relate to the acquisition and maintenance of equipment and funding working capital requirements. During 2021, the Company funded capital requirements primarily with cash on hand.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of $11.5 million, as compared to $38.7 million at December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had an operating loss of $31.5 million, $25.8 million of cash used for operating activities and $0.4 million of cash used for financing activities. Cash provided by investing activities was minimal.
Liquidity
The Company currently funds its operations and growth primarily from cash on hand. The ability of the Company to grow and be competitive in the marketplace is dependent on the availability of adequate capital. Access to capital is dependent, in large part, on the Company’s cash flows and the availability of and access to debt and equity financing. The Company has a history of losses and negative cash flows from operations and expects to utilize a significant amount of cash in operations in the following year. Uncertainty surrounding the long- term stability and strength of the oil and gas markets, or reduced spending by our customers could have a further negative impact on our liquidity
On February 2, 2022, the Company completed a Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) transaction with a consortium of investors, including with related parties, through the issuance of $21.2 million aggregate of convertible notes that resulted in net cash proceeds of approximately $19.5 million. Also, on February 2, 2022, the Company entered into a long-term supply agreement with ProFrac Services, LLC (the “ProFrac Agreement”) upon issuance of $10 million of convertible notes. Under the ProFrac Agreement, ProFrac Services, LLC is obligated to order chemicals from the Company at least equal to the greater of (a) the chemicals required for 33% of their hydraulic fracturing fleets and (b) a baseline measured by the first ten hydraulic fracturing fleets deployed by ProFrac Services, LLC. If minimum volumes are not achieved, the Company receives 25% of the difference between (i) the aggregate Purchase Price of the quantity of Products comprising the Minimum Purchase Obligation during such calendar year. The term of the ProFrac Agreement is three years starting on April 1, 2022.
The Company also committed to plans to sell its warehouse facility in Monahhans, Texas and its manufacturing facility in Waller, Texas. These facilities were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company executed a contract to sell its Waller facility for $4.2 million of cash proceeds. The sale is expected to close in April 2022.
Based on our cash and liquid assets, including the transactions subsequent to year end described above and in Note 22 Subsequent Events, we believe that our cash and liquid assets will provide us with sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet our capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due. However the Company cannot guarantee a sufficient level of cash flows in the future.

•For the year ended December 31, 2021, changes in working capital resulted primarily from increases in accounts receivable and other current assets of $2.0 million and accounts payable of $1.8 million. This has been offset by decreases in inventories and income taxes receivable of $2.1 million and accrued liabilities of $1.4 million.
•For the year ended December 31, 2020 the use of working capital primarily resulted from a reduction in accrued liabilities and accounts payable of $33.0 million, which included two one-time payments made in 2020: one payment of $15.8 million to amend a long-term supply agreement and one to pay $4.1 million for the final post-closing working capital adjustment related to the 2019 sale of the CICT segment. Decreases in accounts receivable, inventories and other current assets provided cash of$8.5 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was negligible. Net cash used in investing activities was $17.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Cash used in investing activities included $26.3 million from purchase of JP3 offset by cash provided of $9.9 million due to the release of escrow amounts in 2020 from the 2019 sale of the Florida Chemical Company.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily for purchases of common stock related to tax withholding requirements. Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily from the proceeds received from the PPP.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have been no transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as “structured finance” or “special purpose entities” (“SPEs”), established for the purpose of facilitating off balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was not involved in any unconsolidated SPEs.
The Company has not made any guarantees to customers or vendors nor does the Company have any off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, change in financial condition, revenue, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that would be material to investors other than the long term terpene agreement discussed in Note 15 in Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements of this Annual Report.
29
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of these statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in Part II, Item 8 — “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this Annual Report. The Company believes the following accounting policies are critical due to the significant subjective and complex judgments and estimates required when preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Company regularly reviews judgments, assumptions and estimates related to the critical accounting policies.
Reserve for Excess and Obsolete Inventory
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost, or market determined using the weighted-average cost method, or net realizable value. Finished goods inventories include raw materials, direct labor and production overhead.
The Company 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 goods sold.
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory was $10.1 million and $11.1 million, or 51.8% and 48.3% of inventory, respectively. Significant or unanticipated changes to our estimates and forecasts could impact the amount and timing of any additional provisions for excess and obsolete inventory.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment annually on October 1 or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate a potential impairment. These circumstances may include an adverse change in the business climate or a change in the assessment of future operations of a reporting unit.
When performing the annual impairment test, the Company has the option to assess whether a goodwill impairment exists using either a qualitative or quantitative assessment. The qualitative assessment involves determining whether events or circumstances exist that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill.
If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment, a quantitative impairment test is performed to determine whether goodwill impairment exists at the reporting unit.
The quantitative impairment test, used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of impairment loss, compares the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with goodwill to its carrying amount, including goodwill. To determine fair value estimates, the Company uses the income approach based on discounted cash flow analyses, combined, when appropriate, with a market-based approach. The market-based approach considers valuation comparisons of recent public sale transactions of similar businesses and earnings multiples of publicly traded businesses operating in industries consistent with the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
In performing the annual quantitative impairment test and consistent with our prior practice, we determined the fair value of the DA reporting unit using an income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. We used our internal forecasts, updated for recent events, to estimate future cash flows with cash flows beyond the specific operating plans estimated using a terminal value calculation, which incorporates historical and forecasted trends, including an estimate of long-term future growth rates, based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for the DA reporting unit. Our internal forecasts include assumptions about future commodity pricing and expected demand for our goods and services. For the DA reporting unit, production growth is still anticipated to be lower in the near term as operators continue to show an abundance of fiscal discipline in development spending. Midstream thru-out volumes have remained well below capacity levels. While we are expecting production growth to increase, it is likely to do so at a more conservative pace. These factors have precipitated our impairment decision for Data Analytics goodwill. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates and
30
assumptions, actual results may differ from those assumed in our forecasts. We derived our discount rate using a capital asset pricing model and analyzing published rates for industries relevant to the DA reporting unit to estimate the cost of equity financing. We used a discount rate that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainties inherent in the respective business and in our internally developed forecasts.
Our estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ from those assumed in our analysis.
Income Taxes
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 and liabilities are recognized related to the anticipated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities using statutory tax rates at the applicable year end. 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. Except for a state jurisdiction, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.
The Company has performed an evaluation and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Property and equipment
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. Indicative events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, matters such as a significant decline in market value or a significant change in business climate. 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.
The determination of whether property and equipment, including ROU assets is impaired involved a significant level of judgement in these assumptions, and changes in our forecasts, business strategy, or economic and market conditions could significantly impact these judgements. Any resulting impairment charges could have a material impact on our results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements which may impact the Company are described in Note 2, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” in Part II, Item 8 — “Financial Statements” of this Annual Report.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is primarily exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and raw material prices. Market risk is measured as the potential negative impact on earnings, cash flows or fair values resulting from a hypothetical change in interest rates, commodity prices or foreign currency exchange rates over the next year. The Company manages exposure to market risks at the corporate level. The portfolio of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities is monitored and adjusted to provide liquidity necessary to satisfy anticipated short-term needs. The Company’s risk management policies allow the use of specified financial instruments for hedging purposes only. Speculation on interest rates or foreign currency rates is not permitted. The Company does not consider any of these risk management activities to be material.
31
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company’s functional currency is primarily the U.S. dollar. The Company operates principally in the United States and has limited exposure to foreign currency risk in its international operations. During 2021, approximately 3% of revenue was denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies and virtually all assets and liabilities of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, as the Company expands its international operations, non-U.S. denominated activity is likely to increase. The Company has not historically used swaps or foreign currency hedges, however, the Company may utilize swaps or foreign currency hedges in the future.
Commodity Risk
The Company, and the CT segment in particular, primarily relies upon long-term strategic supply relationships to meet many of its raw material needs and are expected to remain in place for the foreseeable future. Price increases are passed along to the Company’s customers, where applicable or possible. The Company presently does not have any commodity futures contracts but may consider utilizing forms of hedging from time to time in the future.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors Flotek Industries, Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Flotek Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Sources and Uses of Liquidity
As described in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company currently funds its operations and growth primarily from cash on hand. The ability of the Company to grow and be competitive in the marketplace is dependent on the availability of adequate capital. Access to capital is dependent on the Company’s operating cash flows, the monetization of non-core assets, and the availability of and access to debt and equity financing. The Company has a history of losses and negative cash flows from operations and expects to use a significant amount of cash in the year following the issuance of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. Uncertainty surrounding the long-term stability and strength of the oil and gas markets or reduced spending by the Company’s customers could have a further negative impact on the Company’s liquidity. The Company believes that their cash and liquid assets, including certain transactions
33
executed after year end, will provide the Company with sufficient financial resources to fund its operations and meet its capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due over the twelve-month period following the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
We identified the evaluation of the Company’s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern and related disclosures as a critical audit matter. There was significant auditor judgment required in evaluating (1) forecasted revenue growth rates and operating expenses used in the Company’s forecasted cash flows analysis for the twelve-month period subsequent to issuance of the consolidated financial statements and (2) management's ability to implement its plans with respect to the disposition of assets held for sale.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design of certain internal controls related to the Company’s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern, including the development of the forecasted revenue growth rates and operating expenses over the twelve-month period following the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, and the Company’s assessment of the probability of disposing assets held for sale. To assess the Company’s ability to forecast revenue and operating expenses, we compared historical revenue and operating expense forecasts to actual results. We also compared the Company's forecasted revenue growth rates to certain relevant industry trends. We performed sensitivity analyses over the Company’s going concern assessment by evaluating the effect of changes in the forecasted revenue growth rates and operating expenses and the effect of potential outcomes of the disposition of assets held for sale. We evaluated the reasonableness of the Company’s forecasted revenue and operating expenses by comparing them to management’s stated plans which were corroborated by meeting minutes of the Board of Directors. We evaluated management’s plans related to disposition of certain assets held for sale by inspecting the contractual sale document. We assessed the Company’s disclosures related to its going concern assessment by comparing the disclosures to the audit evidence obtained.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Organization and Nature of Operations
General
Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek” or the “Company”) creates 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, commercial, and consumer markets improve their environmental performance.
The Company’s Chemistry Technologies (“CT”) segment develops, manufactures, packages, distributes, delivers, and markets green specialty chemicals that enhance the profitability of hydrocarbon producers and cleans surfaces in both commercial and personal settings to help reduce the spread of bacteria, viruses and germs.
The Company’s Data Analytics (“DA”) segment enables 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, while reducing their carbon footprint, energy consumption and emissions.
The Company formed the DA segment during the second quarter of 2020, after acquiring JP3 Measurement, LLC (“JP3”). The Company’s two operating segments, CT and DA, are both supported by its Research & Innovation advanced laboratory capabilities. For further discussion of our operations and segments, see Note 21, “Business Segment, Geographic and Major Customer Information.” For further discussion of the JP3 acquisition, see Note 3, “Business Acquisition.”
The Company was initially incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia in 1985. In October 2001, the Company changed its corporate domicile to the State of Delaware.
Sources and Uses of Liquidity
The Company currently funds its operations and growth primarily from cash on hand. The ability of the Company to grow and be competitive in the marketplace is dependent on the availability of adequate capital. Access to capital is dependent on the Company’s operating cash flows, the monetization of non-core assets, and the availability of and access to debt and equity financing. The Company has a history of losses and negative cash flows from operations and expects to utilize a significant amount of cash in the following year. While we believe that our cash and liquid assets, including the actions taken subsequent to year end discussed below and in Note 22, “Subsequent Events”, will provide us with sufficient financial resources to fund operations and 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 or reduced spending by our customers could have a further negative impact on our liquidity.
On February 2, 2022, the Company completed a Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) transaction with a consortium of investors, including related parties, through the issuance of $21.2 million aggregate of convertible notes that resulted in net cash proceeds of approximately $19.5 million. Also, on February 2, 2022, the Company entered into a long-term supply agreement with ProFrac Services, LLC (the “ProFrac Agreement”) upon issuance of $10 million of convertible notes. Under the ProFrac Agreement, ProFrac Services, LLC is obligated to order chemicals from the Company at least equal to the greater of (a) the chemicals required for 33% of their hydraulic fracturing fleets and (b) a baseline measured by the first ten hydraulic fracturing fleets deployed by ProFrac Services, LLC. Profrac 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 during such calendar year. The term of the ProFrac Agreement is three years starting on April 1, 2022.
The Company also committed to plans to sell its warehouse facility in Monahans, Texas and its manufacturing facility in Waller, Texas. These facilities were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company executed a contract to sell its Waller facility for $4.2 million of cash proceeds. The sale is expected to close in April 2022.
Based on our cash and liquid assets, including the transactions subsequent to year end described above and in Note 22 Subsequent Events, we believe that our cash and liquid assets will provide us with sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet our capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due. However, the Company cannot guarantee a sufficient level of cash flows in the future. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).The 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.
Cash Management
The Company uses a controlled disbursement account for its main cash account. Under this system, outstanding checks can be in excess of the cash balances at the bank before the disbursement account is funded, creating a book overdraft. Book overdrafts on this account are presented as a current liability in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
Restricted Cash
The Company’s restricted cash 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 and as of December 31, 2021 an amount held in escrow of $1.75 million for amounts due under the terms of the legal settlement discussed in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable arise from product sales and services and are stated at estimated net realizable value. This value incorporates an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on accounts receivable balances. The Company regularly evaluates its accounts receivable to estimate amounts that will not be collected and records the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts as a charge to operating expenses. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a combination of the age of the receivables, 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 provision for doubtful accounts 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 doubtful accounts are as follows (in thousands):
Years ended December 31,
Balance, beginning of year $ 1,316 $ 1,527
Charges to provision for doubtful accounts, net of recoveries (127) 652
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
42
FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 goods sold.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. 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 right-of-use assets (“ROU”), is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life as follows:
Buildings and leasehold improvements 2-30 years
Machinery and equipment 7-10 years
Furniture and fixtures 3 years
Land improvements 20 years
Transportation equipment 2-5 years
Computer equipment and software 3-7 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.
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.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment annually on October 1 or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate a potential impairment.
When performing the annual impairment test, the Company has the option to assess whether a goodwill impairment exists using either a qualitative or quantitative assessment. The qualitative assessment involves determining whether events or circumstances exist that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill.
If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment, a quantitative impairment test is performed to determine whether goodwill impairment exists at the reporting unit.
The quantitative impairment test, used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of impairment loss, compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. To determine fair value estimates, the Company uses the income approach based on discounted cash flow analyses, combined, when appropriate, with a market-based approach. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. We used our internal forecasts, updated for recent events, to estimate future cash flows with cash flows beyond the specific operating plans estimated using a terminal value calculation, which incorporates historical and forecasted trends, including an estimate of long-term future growth rates, based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for the reporting unit. We derive our discount rate using a capital asset pricing model and analyzing published rates for industries relevant to the reporting unit to estimate the cost of equity financing. We use discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainties inherent in the respective business and in our
43
FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
internally developed forecasts. The market-based approach considers valuation comparisons of recent public sale transactions of similar businesses and earnings multiples of publicly traded businesses operating in industries consistent with the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
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 13, “Fair Value Measurements.”
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it 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. Certain sales include right of return provisions, which are considered when recognizing revenue and deferred accordingly. Deposits and other funds received in advance of delivery are deferred until the transfer of control is complete.
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 majority of the Company’s services are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. As a result the Company does not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations.
•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 goods sold on our consolidated statement of operations.
Foreign Currency Translation
Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are prepared using the currency of the primary economic environment of the foreign subsidiaries as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of 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 Loss
Comprehensive loss encompasses all changes in stockholders’ equity, except those arising from investments from and distributions to stockholders. The Company’s comprehensive loss includes consolidated net loss 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.
44
FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Income Taxes
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.
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 the carrying amount and useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets; goodwill, property and equipment and intangible asset impairment assessments; allocation of purchase price in business combinations; stock-based compensation expense; and valuation allowances for accounts receivable, inventories, and deferred tax assets.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company changed its financial statement presentation to report cost of goods sold and gross profit (loss) and eliminated the reporting of operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) on the consolidated statements of operations to conform to customary industry reporting practices. In connection with this change in presentation, the Company reclassified selling costs of $6.5 million to selling, general and administrative expenses which were previously reported in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020. The reclassifications and change in presentation of the statements of operations did not impact previously recorded net loss and stockholders’ equity.
Business Combinations
The Company includes the results of operations of its acquisitions in its consolidated results, prospectively from the date of acquisition. The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interests in the acquired entity generally based on their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of these assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interests in the acquired entity is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired company and Flotek and the value of the acquired assembled workforce. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business acquisition and are recognized as expenses as incurred.

Note 3 — Business Acquisition
On May 18, 2020, the Company acquired 100% ownership of JP3, a privately-held data and analytics technology company, in a cash-and-stock transaction. The transaction was valued at approximately $36.6 million as of the transaction closing date, comprised of $25.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments and contingent consideration as described below, and 11.5 million shares in Flotek common stock with an estimated fair value of $8.5 million, net of a discount for marketability due to a lock-up period. The payment of $25.0 million was subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and the total non-equity consideration at closing on May 18, 2020 was comprised of $25.0 million plus net working capital in excess of the target net working capital of $1.9 million. Additionally, the Company was subject to contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $1.2 million at acquisition date for two potential earn-out provisions totaling up to $5.0 million based on certain stock performance targets. The first and second earn-out provisions occur if the ten-day volume-weighted average share price equals or exceeds $2 per share and $3 per share, respectively, before May 18, 2025. See Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information on the current estimated fair value of the contingent consideration.

Pro forma information for JP3 is not provided as the impact is not considered material.
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company made certain measurement period adjustments to inventory, resulting in an increase of goodwill of $2.3 million.
Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In recognizing revenue for products and services, the Company determines the transaction price of purchase orders or contracts with customers, which may consist of fixed and variable consideration. Determining the transaction price may require significant 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. Variable consideration typically consists of product returns and is estimated based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive. Revenue accruals are recorded on an ongoing basis to reflect updated variable consideration information.
The majority of the products from the CT segment are sold at a point in time and service contracts are short-term in nature. The DA segment recognizes revenue for sales of equipment at the time of sale. Revenue related to service and support is recognized over time. The Company bills sales on a monthly basis with payment terms customarily 30-60 days for domestic and 90-120 days for international from invoice receipt. In addition, sales taxes are excluded from revenues.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company differentiates revenue based on whether the source of revenue is attributable to product sales (point-in-time revenue recognition) or service revenue (over-time revenue recognition).
Revenue disaggregated by revenue source is as follows (in thousands):
Years ended December 31,
Revenue:

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
The CT and DA segments primarily sell chemicals and equipment recognized at a point in time based on when control transfers to the customer determined by agreed upon delivery terms. Additionally, both segments offer various services associated to products sold which includes field services, installation, maintenance, and other functions. For DA, services are recognized

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
upon completion of commissioning and installation due to the short-term nature of the performance obligation. DA has 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, DA may provide subscription-type arrangements with customers in which monthly reoccurring revenue is recognized ratably over time in accordance with agreed upon terms and conditions. Subscription-type arrangements were not a material revenue stream in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
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 associated with incomplete performance obligations are not material.

Note 8 - Goodwill
As discussed in Note 3 Business Acquisition, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company acquired 100% ownership of JP3, as a new operating segment and reporting unit. The Company recorded goodwill of $17.5 million. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company made certain measurement period adjustments to inventory obtained in the JP3 acquisition, resulting in an increase of goodwill of $2.3 million.
On October 1 of each fiscal year, we perform our annual goodwill impairment test for the DA reporting unit. We also test goodwill for impairment whenever events or circumstances occur which, in our judgment, could more likely than not reduce the fair value of the DA reporting unit below its carrying amount. Potential impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, (i) the results of our most recent annual impairment testing, in particular the magnitude of the excess of fair value over carrying value observed, (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts, and the magnitude thereof, if any, and (iii) declines in our market capitalization below our book value, and the magnitude and duration of those declines, if any.
In performing the annual quantitative impairment test and consistent with our prior practice, we determined the fair value of the DA reporting unit using an income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. We used our internal forecasts, updated for recent events, to estimate future cash flows with cash flows beyond the specific operating plans estimated using a terminal value calculation, which incorporates historical and forecasted trends, including an estimate of long-term future growth rates, based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for the DA reporting unit. Our internal forecasts include assumptions about future commodity pricing and expected demand for our goods and services. For the DA reporting unit, production growth is anticipated to be moderate in the near term as operators continue to show an abundance of fiscal discipline in development spending. Midstream thru-put volumes remain well below capacity levels. While we are expecting production growth to increase, it is likely to do so at a more conservative pace. These factors have precipitated our impairment decision for Data Analytics goodwill. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates and assumptions, actual results may differ from those assumed in our forecasts. We derived our discount rate using a capital asset pricing model and analyzing published rates for industries relevant to the DA reporting unit to estimate the cost of equity financing. We used a discount rate that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainties inherent in the respective business and in our internally developed forecasts.
Based upon the results of our annual quantitative impairment test, we concluded that the carrying value of the DA reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value as of the testing date, which resulted in goodwill impairment charges of $8.1 million. The goodwill impairment was calculated as the amount that the carrying value of the DA reporting unit, including any goodwill, exceeded its fair value. The carrying value of the DA reporting unit equals its fair value upon completion of the goodwill impairment test.

Note 9 — Other Intangible Assets
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $32.4 million for other intangible assets, impairing all finite-lived intangible assets, including those acquired in the acquisition of JP3 discussed in Note 3, Business Acquisition. See Note 10, “Impairment of Property and Equipment, Operating Lease Right-of-use Assets, and Intangible Assets.”
Amortization of intangible assets acquired totaled $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. There was no intangible amortization recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Note 10 — Impairment of Property and Equipment, Operating Lease Right-of-use Assets and Intangible Assets
There were no impairments of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, and intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2021.
The Company recorded impairment charges of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets and intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2020, as follows (in thousands):

During the first quarter of 2020, with the onset of the global COVID-19 Pandemic and the significant disruption across the industry, the Company’s operations were negatively impacted resulting in actual and projected declines in the Company’s revenues and results of operations. These declines were driven by market factors, including an oversupply of oil, insufficient storage and demand destruction resulting from the reaction to the pandemic. Based on these factors, the Company concluded that a triggering event occurred and, accordingly, an interim impairment test was performed as of March 31, 2020, for the CT segment.
Using the income approach, the fair value of the CT segment asset group was determined based on the present value of future cash flows. The Company utilized internal forecast trends and potential growth rates to estimate future cash flows of the asset group. Based on the results of the quantitative assessment, the Company concluded the carrying value of the asset group exceeded its fair value as of March 31, 2020, and an impairment loss of $57.5 million was recorded.
Management performed an interim impairment test as of September 30, 2020 for the DA business segment which was negatively impacted by reduced demand in the oil and gas sector because of reductions in capital spending across our customer base, lower than anticipated growth in the international market gained from the JP3 acquisition.
Using the income approach, the fair value of the DA segment asset group was determined based on the present value of future cash flows. The Company utilized internal forecast trends and potential growth rates to estimate future cash flows of the asset group. Based on the results of the assessment, the Company concluded the carrying value of the asset group exceeded its fair value as of September 30, 2020. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $12.5 million in the DA segment asset group.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, all finite lived intangible assets were fully impaired.

Note 12 — Debt
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 Act (“CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). In connection with the acquisition of JP3 in May 2020, the Company assumed a PPP loan of $0.9 million obtained by JP3 (the “JP3 PPP loan”) in April 2020 prior to its acquisition by Flotek. The PPP loans had a fixed interest rate of 1% and originally a two-year term, maturing in April and May 2022, respectively. No payments of principal or interest were required during the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.
A portion of the loans may be eligible for forgiveness by the SBA depending on the extent of proceeds used for payroll costs and other designated expenses incurred for up to 24 weeks following loan origination, subject to adjustments for headcount reductions and compensation limits and provided that at least 60% of the eligible costs incurred were used for payroll. Receipt of these funds required the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further required the Company to take into account current business activity and the ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that was not significantly detrimental to the business. The forgiveness of the loans is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loans and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loans based on our past and future adherence to the forgiveness criteria. The PPP loans are subject to any new guidance and new requirements released by the Department of the Treasury, which initially indicated that all companies that have received funds in excess of $2.0 million will be subject to audit by the SBA to further ensure PPP loans are limited to eligible borrowers in need.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of the JP3 PPP loan with the SBA. In June 2021, the Company received notice from the SBA that the JP3 PPP loan and accrued interest were fully forgiven. Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded $0.9 million for the amount of principal and accrued interest forgiven associated with the JP3 PPP loan in other income on the consolidated statement of operations.
In October 2021, the Flotek PPP loan maturity date was extended from April 15, 2022 to April 15, 2025.
The Company has submitted to the SBA for forgiveness of substantially all of the Flotek PPP loan but as of December 31, 2021 and as of the date of this filing, the Company has not received a forgiveness notice. If the loan is not forgiven, monthly payments will be due over the remaining term of the loan. Denial of the forgiveness of the Flotek PPP loan will negatively impact the Company’s liquidity as discussed in Note 1, “Organization and Nature of Operations”.

Note 13 — 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, accrued liabilities and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts. The carrying amount of the Flotek PPP loan approximates its fair value as of December 31, 2021.
Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

The estimated fair value of the remaining stock performance earn-out provision, with respect to the JP3 transaction, discussed in Note 3, Business Acquisition, is included in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The estimated fair value of the earn-out provision at the end of each period was valued using a Monte Carlo model analyzing 20,000 simulations performed using Geometric Brownian Motion with inputs such as risk-neutral expected growth and volatility. During the third quarter of 2020, the first stock performance target of the contingent consideration was achieved, and the Company accrued a liability of $2.5 million, which was subsequently settled during the fourth quarter of 2020.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company’s non-financial assets, including property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustment in certain circumstances. Impairments of long-lived assets of $70 million were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020.
