Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and prospects are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Readers of this Annual Report should not consider any descriptions of these risk factors to be a complete set of all potential risks that could affect the Company. These factors should be carefully considered together with the other information contained in this Annual Report and the other reports and materials filed by the Company with the SEC. Further, many of these risks are interrelated and, as a result, the occurrence of certain risks could trigger and/or exacerbate other risks. Such a combination could materially increase the severity of the impact of these risks on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, liquidity or prospects.

This Annual Report contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements discuss Company prospects, expected revenue, expenses and profits, strategic and operational initiatives, and other activities. Forward-looking statements also contain suppositions regarding future oil and natural gas industry and other conditions, both domestically and internationally. The Company’s results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including risks described below and elsewhere. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Annual Report.
Risks Related to the Company’s Business
The Company’s business is largely dependent upon its customers’ spending in the oil and gas industry. Spending could be adversely affected by industry conditions; new or increased governmental regulations; changes to existing governmental regulations; global economic conditions; the availability of credit; and oil and natural gas prices.
Demand for and prices of the Company’s products are subject to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:
•global demand for energy as a result of population growth, economic development, and general economic and business conditions;
•political and economic uncertainty, and sociopolitical unrest including the current military conflicts in Ukraine and Middle East and ongoing sanctions imposed on Russia;
•the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) to influence production levels and the impact of non-OPEC producers on global supply;
•availability and quantity of natural gas storage;
•import and export volumes and pricing of liquefied natural gas;
•domestic and international refining activity;
•rising demand for electricity in the U.S. and technological improvements to competing sources of power generation, including wind, solar and hydrogen;
•pipeline capacity to critical markets and out of producing regions;
•cost of exploration, production and transport of oil and natural gas;
•sustained market adoption of green chemistry solutions;
•technological advances impacting energy production and consumption;
•new or increased governmental regulation or changes to existing governmental regulations;
•expectations for inflation and the resulting impact on interest rates;
•the imposition of tariffs or trade sanctions;
•weather conditions; and
•foreign exchange rates.
Volatile commodity prices could adversely impact the activity levels of the Company’s customers.
Demand for the Company’s goods and services may be adversely impacted if volatile economic conditions weaken customer expenditures. It is difficult to predict the pace of industry growth, the direction of oil and natural gas prices, the direction and magnitude of economic activity, the demand for chemistry and data analytics products, and to what extent these conditions could affect the Company. However, reduced cash flow and capital availability could adversely impact the financial condition of the Company’s customers, which could result in customer project modifications, delays or cancellations, general business disruptions, and delay in, or nonpayment of, amounts that are owed to the Company. This could cause a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.
The Company’s reliance on the ProFrac Agreement could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The ProFrac Agreement is a major source of the Company’s liquidity and we expect it to remain so over the term of the contract. Revenues attributable to the ProFrac Agreement represented 62% and 65% of our total revenues during 2024 and 2023, respectively. If the Company became unable to execute the requirements of the agreement financially and operationally, from procuring inventory to meet the needs of ProFrac Services, LLC under the ProFrac Agreement to executing timely billing and collection, the Company’s liquidity could be adversely impacted. Further, our relationship with ProFrac Services, LLC may impact their competitors’ willingness to purchase products from the Company or to seek price concessions from the Company.
10
We are also dependent on ProFrac Services, LLC’s compliance in meeting their committed activity levels and paying for our products, including any Contract Shortfall Fees, on a timely basis, in accordance with the terms of the ProFrac Agreement. Our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted if ProFrac Services, LLC’s financial condition or its spending level under the ProFrac Agreement is negatively impacted and it is unable to pay its outstanding obligations to the Company, including those payments related to Contract Shortfall Fees. As of December 31, 2024, amounts due to the Company from ProFrac Services, LLC totaled $52.4 million, including $32.4 million related to 2024 Contract Shortfall Fees.
ProFrac Services, LLC has the right to terminate the ProFrac Agreement by providing written notice to the Company after the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the Company’s bankruptcy; (ii) the Company’s failure to produce and deliver the products in accordance with the specifications, or failure to timely deliver products, and the Company has been unable to cure such failure within a commercially reasonable period determined by ProFrac Services, LLC; (iii) the Company fails to meet pricing requirements set forth in the ProFrac Agreement; or (iv) the Company is affected by a force majeure event, and such force majeure event has not been remedied within 30 days of the initial occurrence of such event. ProFrac Services, LLC also has the right to terminate the ProFrac Agreement for any other material breach of the ProFrac Agreement by the Company if the breach is capable of being cured, but is not cured within 30 days after written notice. Termination of the ProFrac Agreement would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, ProFrac Services, LLC has customary rights to audit our compliance with the terms of the ProFrac Agreement. Any adverse findings during such an audit could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company’s inability to develop and/or introduce new products or differentiate existing products could have an adverse effect on its ability to be responsive to customers’ needs and could result in a loss of customers, as well as adversely affecting the Company’s future success and profitability.
The industries in which the Company does business are characterized by technological advancements that have historically resulted in, and will likely continue to result in, substantial improvements in the scope and quality of specialty chemistries and data analytical services. Consequently, the Company’s future success is dependent, in part, upon the Company’s continued ability to timely develop innovative products and services. Successful introduction of new technology requires time and resources, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to commercialize new technology in a timely manner. If the Company fails to successfully develop and introduce innovative products and services at price points that appeal to customers, or if existing or new market competitors develop superior products and services, the Company’s revenue and profitability could deteriorate.
The Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and ability to grow and compete may be affected adversely if adequate capital is not available.
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, and the resulting potential impact on our customers’ ability to pay their obligations to us in a timely manner, could have a negative impact on our liquidity. The availability of capital is dependent on the Company’s operating cash flow, which is currently expected to be principally derived from the ProFrac Agreement. The Company may need additional financing sources, including commercial borrowings and issuances of debt and/or equity securities. The Company’s ability to procure debt financing, is dependent on, among other things, the willingness of banks and other financial institutions to lend into the Company’s industry and on their evaluation of the Company’s credit risk. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to procure additional debt financing or, in the event that it is able to procure additional debt financing, that the financing will be on favorable terms and conditions or at favorable rates of interest. The Company’s ability to access the capital markets, is dependent on, among other things, the willingness of investors to purchase new debt and/or equity issuances from the Company. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to procure additional capital markets financing or, in the event that is it is able to do so, that the capital raises will be on favorable terms or conditions to the Company. If the Company cannot access capital on acceptable terms, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected. Further, the ability of the Company to grow and be competitive in the marketplace may be adversely impacted as the Company may not be able to finance strategic growth plans, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.
Increased competition could exert downward pressure on prices charged for the Company’s products and services.
The Company operates in a competitive environment populated by large and small competitors and with relatively low barriers to entry. Absent an applicable restrictive covenant, employees of the Company may leave and compete directly with the Company. Competitors with greater resources and lower cost structures or who are trying to gain market share may be successful in providing competing products and services to the Company’s customers at lower prices than the Company
11
currently charges. This may require the Company to lower its prices, resulting in an adverse impact on revenues, margins, and operating results. Thus, competition could have a detrimental impact on the Company’s business.
If the Company is unable to adequately protect intellectual property rights or is found to infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, or is unable to maintain the registrations and certifications of its products and facilities, the Company’s business is likely to be adversely affected.
The Company relies on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements and other methods to access markets and create a competitive advantage. Although the Company believes that existing measures are reasonably adequate to protect intellectual property rights, there is no assurance that the measures taken will prevent misappropriation of proprietary information or dissuade others from independent development of similar products or services. Moreover, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to prevent competitors from copying, reverse engineering, modifying or otherwise obtaining, infringing and/or using the Company’s technology, intellectual property or proprietary rights to create competitive products or services. The Company may not be able to enforce intellectual property rights outside of the U.S. Additionally, the laws of certain countries in which the Company’s products and services are manufactured or marketed may not protect the Company’s proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S. In each case, the Company’s ability to compete could be significantly impaired.
A portion of the Company’s products and services are without patent protection. The issuance of a patent does not guarantee validity or enforceability. Third parties may have blocking patents that could be used to prevent the Company from marketing the Company’s own patented products and services and utilizing the Company’s patented technology.
The Company is exposed and, in the future, may be exposed to allegations of patent and other intellectual property infringement from others. The Company may allege infringement of its patents and other intellectual property rights against others. Under either scenario, the Company could become involved in costly litigation or other legal proceedings regarding its patent or other intellectual property rights, from both an enforcement and defensive standpoint. Even if the Company chooses to enforce its patent or other intellectual property rights against a third party, there may be risk that the Company’s patent or other intellectual property rights become invalidated or otherwise unenforceable through legal proceedings. These could result in the Company having to discontinue the use, manufacture and sale of certain products and services, increases in the cost of selling certain products and services, or damage to the Company’s reputation. An award of damages, including material royalty payments, or the entry of an injunction order against the use, manufacture and sale of any of the Company’s products and services found to be infringing, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and ability to compete.
Certain of the Company’s products and facilities have been qualified or registered with the EPA. The failure of the Company to maintain such EPA qualifications or registrations could result in the inability of the Company to market or sell its products. In the event that the Company cannot maintain its qualifications, registrations or licenses or is unable to procure new qualifications, licenses or registrations for new products or in response to changes to regulatory requirements, the ability of the Company to sell its products and obtain revenue may be adversely affected.
The loss of key customers could have an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and could result in a decline in the Company’s revenue.
Revenue derived from the Company’s three largest customers as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, totaled 75% and 73%, respectively. The Company has seen customer concentration risk increase substantially due to its entry into the ProFrac Agreement. Unlike the ProFrac Agreement, our other large customer relationships are typically governed by purchase orders or other short-term contractual obligations as opposed to long-term contracts. Losses of customers also may occur due to product, service or pricing issues, as well as industry consolidation. The Company competes in a highly competitive environment and must work diligently to create and maintain productive customer relationships, and the failure to maintain those relationships could result in the loss of one or more key customers. The loss of one or more key customers could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and could result in a decline in the Company’s revenue.
Loss of key suppliers, the inability to secure raw materials on a timely basis, or the Company’s inability to pass commodity price increases on to its customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to service its customers’ needs and could result in a significant loss of customers.
Raw materials used in servicing and manufacturing operations, as well as those purchased for sale, are generally available on the open market from multiple sources. Acquisition costs and transportation of raw materials to the Company’s facilities have historically been impacted by extreme weather conditions. Additionally, prices paid for raw materials could be affected by energy products and other commodity prices; weather and disease associated with our crop dependent raw materials; tariffs and duties on imported materials; evolving geopolitical risks; foreign currency exchange rates; and phases of the general business cycle and global demand.
12
The prices of key raw materials are subject to market fluctuations, which at times can be significant and unpredictable. Availability of key raw materials, weather events, natural disasters, and health epidemics in countries from which the Company sources raw materials may significantly impact prices. During a period of scarcity of supply the Company may also be negatively impacted by prioritization decisions enacted by its suppliers.
Furthermore, if key suppliers were to experience significant cash flow constraints or become insolvent, a reduction or interruption in supplies or a significant increase in the price of supplies could occur, adversely impacting the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.
The Company may be unable to pass along price increases to its customers, which could result in a materially adverse impact on margins and operating profits. The Company currently does not hedge commodity prices, but may consider such strategies in the future, and there is no guarantee that the Company’s purchasing strategies will prevent cost increases from resulting in materially adverse impacts on margins and operating profits.
The Company’s DA segment is dependent on its ability to source appropriate technical components for its VeraxTM measurement system, certain of which are specialty products that are sole-sourced and are not easily replaceable with other sources. Any inability to source appropriate components in the future could result in significant difficulty supplying equipment or services to the Company’s customers.
The new Trump Administration may make substantial changes to fiscal, tax, and international trade policies that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Trump administration has called for substantial change to various fiscal, tax, and international trade policies. We cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes to our business, financial condition and results of operations. However, it is possible that these changes could adversely affect our business. It is likely that some policies adopted by the new administration will benefit us and others will negatively affect us. Until we know what changes are enacted, we will not know whether in total we benefit from, or are negatively affected by, the changes.
Failure to collect for goods and services sold to key customers could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial results, liquidity and cash flows.
The Company performs credit analysis on potential customers; however, credit analysis does not provide full assurance that customers will be willing and/or able to pay for goods and services purchased from the Company. Furthermore, collectability of international sales can be subject to the laws of foreign countries, which may provide less protection to the Company in the event of a dispute over payment. Because sales to domestic and international customers are generally made on an unsecured basis, there can be no assurance of collectability. The Company’s sales revenues are concentrated among customers operating in the oil and gas industry. Furthermore, the Company has seen an increase in concentration risk as a result of the Company’s entry into the ProFrac Agreement. If one or more major customers, including ProFrac Services, LLC, are unwilling or unable to pay their obligations to the Company, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial results, liquidity and cash flows.
Cyberattacks may have a significant and adverse impact on the Company’s operations and related financial condition.
The Company relies on access to information systems for operational, reporting and communication functions. Impairments of these systems, such as ransomware and network communications disruptions, could have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct operations and could directly impact consolidated reporting. Phishing attacks could result in sensitive or confidential information being released by the Company. Security breaches pose a risk to confidential data and intellectual property, which could result in damages to our competitiveness and reputation. The Company’s policies and procedures, system monitoring and data back-up processes may not prevent or detect potential disruptions or breaches in a timely or effective manner. There can be no assurance that existing or emerging threats will not have an adverse impact on our systems or communications networks. While the Company does carry cybersecurity insurance, the coverage and amount of such insurance may not be sufficient to adequately compensate the Company for cybersecurity loss. See “Item 1C. Cybersecurity” in Part I of this Annual Report.
Unforeseen contingencies such as litigation could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition.
The Company is, and from time to time may become, a party to legal proceedings incidental to the Company’s business involving, among other matters, alleged injuries, exposure to hazardous substances, patent infringement, employment matters, commercial disputes and shareholder lawsuits. The defense of these lawsuits may require significant expenses, divert management’s attention, and may require the Company to pay damages that could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition. In addition, any insurance or indemnification rights that the Company may have might be insufficient or unavailable to protect against potential loss exposures.
13
The Company’s current insurance policies may not adequately protect the Company’s business from all potential risks.
The Company’s operations are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, such as, but not limited to, accidents, explosions, fires, severe weather, oil and chemical spills, and other hazards. These conditions can result in personal injury or loss of life, damage to property, equipment and the environment, as well as suspension of customers’ oil and gas operations. These events could result in damages requiring costly repairs, the interruption of Company business, including the loss of revenue and profits, and/or the Company being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims. The Company does not have insurance against all foreseeable or unforeseeable risks. Consequently, losses and liabilities arising from uninsured or underinsured events could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
If the Company does not manage the potential difficulties associated with expansion successfully, the Company’s operating results could be adversely affected.
The Company believes future success will depend, in part, on the Company’s ability to adapt to market opportunities and changes, to successfully integrate the operations of any businesses acquired, to enhance existing product and service lines, and potentially expand into new product and service areas in which the Company may not have prior experience. Factors that could result in strategic business difficulties include, but are not limited to:
•failure to effectively integrate acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances;
•failure to effectively execute on the ProFrac Agreement;
•failure to effectively plan for risks associated with expansion into areas in which management lacks prior experience;
•lack of experienced management personnel;
•increased administrative burdens;
•lack of customer retention;
•lack of familiarity with applicable legal, regulatory and compliance requirements;
•technological obsolescence; and
•infrastructure, technological, communication and logistical problems associated with large, expansive operations.
If the Company fails to manage potential difficulties successfully, the Company’s operating results could be adversely impacted.
The Company may pursue strategic acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic divestitures, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business.
The Company’s potential future acquisitions, joint ventures, and divestitures involve risks that could adversely affect the Company’s business. Negotiations of potential acquisitions, joint ventures, or other strategic relationships, integration of newly acquired businesses, and/or dispositions of existing businesses or assets could be time consuming and divert management’s attention from other business concerns. Acquisitions and joint ventures could also expose the Company to unforeseen liabilities or risks associated with new markets or businesses. Unforeseen operational difficulties related to acquisitions and joint ventures could result in diminished financial performance or require a disproportionate amount of the Company’s management’s attention and resources. Additionally, acquisitions could result in the commitment of capital resources without the realization of anticipated returns. Dispositions could result in the loss of future earnings without adequate compensation and the loss of unrealized strategic opportunities.
The Company’s ability to use net operating losses and tax attribute carryforwards to offset future taxable income became limited due to an “ownership change” in 2023.
Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on the Company’s ability to utilize pre-change net operating losses (“NOLs”), and certain other tax attributes to offset future taxable income. In general, an ownership change occurs if the aggregate stock ownership of certain stockholders increases by more than 50 percentage points over such stockholders’ lowest percentage ownership during the testing period (generally three years). During 2023, the conversion of various debt instruments into the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock resulted in an ownership change limiting the Company’s ability to utilize existing NOLs and tax attribute carryforwards. Additional information about these limitations is provided in Note 11, “Income Taxes” in Part II, Item 8 – “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report.
In addition, under the 2017 Tax Act, the ability to carry back NOLs to prior taxable years is generally eliminated, and while NOLs arising in tax years beginning after 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely, these post-2017 NOLs may only reduce 80% of the Company’s taxable income in a tax year. Limitations imposed on the ability to use NOLs and tax credits to offset future taxable income could reduce or eliminate the benefit of the NOLs and tax attributes and could require the Company to pay U.S. federal income taxes in excess of that which would otherwise be required if such limitations were not in effect. Similar rules and limitations may apply for state income tax purposes.
14
The Company is subject to complex foreign, federal, state and local environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, which expose the Company to liabilities that could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Company’s operations are subject to foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to, among other things, the protection of natural resources, injury, health and safety considerations, chemical exposure assessment, waste management, and transportation of waste and other hazardous materials. The Company’s operations are exposed to risks of environmental liability that could result in fines, penalties, remediation, property damage, and personal injury liability. Sanctions for noncompliance with such laws and regulations could include assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, revocation of permits, and issuance of corrective action orders.
The Company could incur substantial costs to ensure compliance with existing and future laws and regulations. Laws protecting the environment have generally become more stringent and are expected to continue to evolve and become more complex and restrictive in the future. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in material expense associated with future environmental compliance and remediation. The Company’s costs of compliance could also increase if existing laws and regulations are amended or reinterpreted. Such amendments or reinterpretations of existing laws or regulations, or the adoption of new laws or regulations, could curtail exploratory or developmental drilling for, and production of, oil and natural gas which, in turn, could limit demand for the Company’s products and services. Some environmental laws and regulations could also impose joint and strict liability, meaning that the Company could be exposed in certain situations to increased liabilities as a result of the Company’s conduct that was lawful at the time it occurred or conduct of, or conditions caused by, third parties. Remediation expense and other damages arising as a result of such laws and regulations could be substantial and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Company and the Company’s customers are subject to risks associated with doing business outside of the U.S., including political risk, foreign exchange risk, and other uncertainties.
Less than 10 % of the Company’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was from customers based outside of the U.S. The Company and its customers are subject to risks inherent in doing business outside of the U.S., including, but not limited to:
•governmental instability;
•corruption;
•war and other international conflicts;
•civil and labor disturbances;
•requirements of local ownership;
•cartel behavior;
•partial or total expropriation or nationalization;
•currency devaluation; and
•foreign laws and policies, each of which can limit the movement of assets or funds or result in the deprivation of contractual rights or appropriation of property without fair compensation.
Collections from international customers could also prove difficult due to inherent uncertainties in foreign law and judicial procedures. The Company could experience significant difficulty with collections or recovery due to the political or judicial climate in foreign countries where Company operations occur or in which the Company’s products are sold.
The Company’s international operations must be compliant with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other applicable U.S. laws. The Company could become liable under these laws for actions taken by employees. Compliance with international laws and regulations could become more complex and expensive thereby creating increased risk as the Company’s international business portfolio grows. Further, the U.S. periodically enacts laws and imposes regulations prohibiting or restricting trade with certain nations. The current sanctions imposed on trade with Russia do not currently directly impact us because the Company does not have any activity within that region. The U.S. government could also change these laws or enact new laws that could restrict or prohibit the Company from doing business in identified foreign countries. The Company conducts, and will continue to conduct, business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Historically, the Company has not hedged against foreign currency fluctuations. Accordingly, the Company’s profitability could be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
The Company has no control over and can provide no assurances that future laws and regulations will not materially impact the Company’s ability to conduct international business.
15
Regulatory pressures, environmental activism, and legislation could result in reduced demand for the Company’s products and services, increase the Company’s costs, and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulations restricting volatile organic compounds (“VOC”) exist in many states and/or communities, which limit demand for certain products. Changes in the perception of VOCs, increased consumer activism against hydraulic fracturing or other regulatory or legislative actions by governments could potentially result in materially reduced demand for the Company’s products and services and could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Perceptions and related usage of chemistry solutions that are currently considered safe and acceptable, within specified parameters, may be subject to change in future periods as research and testing of environmental impacts mature.
Changes in laws and regulations relating to hydraulic fracturing may have a negative effect on the Company’s operations.
The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated from its CT segment and the majority of the CT segment’s revenue is derived from customers engaged in hydraulic fracturing services. Some states have adopted regulations which require operators to publicly disclose certain formulation information. These regulations could require the reporting and public disclosure of the Company’s proprietary chemistry formulas. The adoption of any future federal or state laws or local requirements, or the implementation of regulations imposing reporting obligations on, or otherwise limiting, the hydraulic fracturing process, could increase the difficulty of oil and natural gas production activity and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s future results of operations.
Climate change, environmental, social and governance and sustainability initiatives may result in regulatory or structural industry changes that could require significant operational changes and expenditures, reduce demand for the Company’s products and services and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price or access to capital markets.
Climate change, environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives and sustainability are a growing global movement. Continuing political and social attention to these issues has resulted in both existing and pending international agreements and national, regional and local legislation, regulatory measures, reporting obligations and policy changes. Also, there is increasing societal pressure in some of the areas where the Company operates to limit greenhouse gas emissions as well as other global initiatives. These agreements and measures, including the Paris Climate Accord, may require, or could result in future legislation, regulatory measures or policy changes that would require, significant equipment modifications, operational changes, taxes, or purchases of emission credits to reduce emission of greenhouse gases from the Company’s operations or those of our customers, which may result in substantial capital expenditures and compliance, operating, maintenance and remediation costs. As a result of heightened public awareness and attention to these issues as well as continued political and regulatory initiatives to reduce the reliance upon oil and natural gas, demand for hydrocarbons may be reduced, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. The imposition and enforcement of stringent greenhouse gas emissions reduction requirements could severely and adversely impact the oil and natural gas industry and therefore significantly reduce the value of the Company’s business.
Certain financial institutions, institutional investors and other sources of capital have limited or eliminated their investment in financing of certain energy-related activities due to concerns about climate change, which could make it more difficult for our customers and for the Company to finance our respective businesses. Increasing attention to climate change, ESG and sustainability has resulted in governmental investigations, and public and private litigation, which could increase the Company’s costs or otherwise adversely affect our business or results of operations.
In addition, some organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters. Such ratings are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings may lead to increased negative investor sentiment toward the Company and our industry and to the diversion of investment to other companies or industries, which could have a negative impact on the price of the Company’s securities and our access to and cost of capital.
Any or all of these ESG and sustainability initiatives may result in significant operational changes and expenditures, reduced demand for the Company’s products and services, and could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price or access to capital markets.

Risks Related to the Company’s Industry
General economic declines or recessions, limits to credit availability, and industry specific factors could have an adverse effect on energy industry activity resulting in lower demand for the Company’s products and services.
Worldwide economic uncertainty can reduce the availability of liquidity and credit markets to fund the continuation and expansion of industrial business operations worldwide. The shortage of liquidity and credit combined with pressure on worldwide equity markets may impact the worldwide economic climate. Geopolitical unrest around the world may also impact demand for the Company’s products and services both domestically and internationally.
Demand for many of the Company’s products and services is dependent on oil and natural gas industry activity and expenditure levels that are directly affected by trends in oil and natural gas prices. Demand for the Company’s products and services is particularly sensitive to levels of activity in the upstream, downstream and midstream sectors, and the corresponding capital spending by oil and natural gas companies, including national oil companies. While capital spending programs for domestic producers appear stable, uncertainties around the potential for weakness in oil and natural gas prices could reduce or defer major expenditures given the long-term nature of many large-scale development projects. Lower levels of activity could result in a corresponding decline in the demand for the Company’s oil and natural gas related products and services, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenue and profitability.
Events in global credit markets can significantly impact the availability of credit and associated financing costs for many of the Company’s customers. Many of the Company’s upstream customers finance a portion of their drilling and completion programs through third-party lenders or public debt offerings. Lack of available credit or increased costs of borrowing may cause customers to reduce spending on drilling programs, thereby reducing demand and potentially resulting in lower prices for the Company’s products and services. Also, the credit and economic environment could significantly impact the financial condition of some customers over a prolonged period, leading to business disruptions and restricted ability to pay for the Company’s products and services.
A continuous period of swings in oil and natural gas prices could result in further reductions in demand for the Company’s products and services and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The markets for the Company’s products, especially oil and gas markets, have historically been very volatile. Such volatility in oil and natural gas prices, or the perception by the Company’s customers of unpredictability in oil and natural gas prices, could adversely affect spending levels. The demand for the Company’s products and services is, in large part, driven by general levels of exploration and production spending and drilling activity by its customers. Future declines in oil or gas prices could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company presently does not hedge oil and natural gas prices.
The Company’s industry has a high rate of employee turnover. Difficulty attracting or retaining personnel or agents could adversely affect the Company’s business.
The Company operates in an industry that has historically been highly competitive in securing qualified personnel with the required technical skills and experience. The Company’s services require skilled personnel able to perform physically demanding work. Due to industry volatility, the demanding nature of the work, and the need for industry specific knowledge and technical skills, current employees could choose to pursue employment opportunities outside the Company that offer a more desirable work environment and/or higher compensation than is offered by the Company. As a result of these competitive labor conditions, the Company may not be able to find qualified labor, which could limit the Company’s growth. In addition, the cost of attracting and retaining qualified personnel has increased over the past several years due to competitive pressures. In order to attract and retain qualified personnel, the Company may be required to offer increased wages and benefits. If the Company is unable to increase the prices of products and services to compensate for increases in compensation including inflation, or is unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, operating results could be adversely affected.
Our DA segment may be negatively affected by government regulations.
The demand for our equipment and services offerings in our DA segment could be materially affected by additional regulations or changes to existing regulations on the upstream, midstream, and downstream portions of the oil and gas sectors. Additional regulation on oil and gas production, transportation, or processing of hydrocarbons may result in significantly reduced demand for our offerings, either individually or as a result of a decline in the overall oil and gas markets in the United States and abroad. Changes to existing regulations related to the energy industry could also materially affect our DA segment. During the second quarter of 2024, the EPA designated one of our DA segment’s measurement systems as an approved measurement technology with respect to recently enacted flare monitoring regulations. The optical measurement system, designed for precise measurement of net heating values in flare gases, was the first to be approved as an alternative method under the New Source Performance Standards OOOOb regulations. Following the EPA’s approval of our analyzer, we recognized our first revenues
17
from flare monitoring in August 2024. We believe that this approval could facilitate opportunities to access this new application as a source of future growth; however, future changes in EPA regulations could impact or eliminate the applicability of the measurement system and have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, our products are subject to export control laws and regulations, and changes to those laws and regulations may negatively impact our ability to pursue international opportunities. Disruptions to pipelines and refineries, whether due to regulation, weather, demand, or other factors, may also have a materially adverse effect on our ability to derive revenue from our DA segment. Adjustments to our DA segment’s commercial strategy, with a shift towards subscription revenue and away from equipment sales, and the market’s response to that strategy, may materially and adversely affect revenues in the near term, even if the strategic shift is successful, due to longer payback periods on subscription models.
Severe weather could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business.
The Company’s business could be materially and adversely affected by severe weather conditions. Hurricanes, tropical storms, flash floods, blizzards, extreme cold weather, and other severe weather conditions could result in curtailment of services, damage to equipment and facilities, interruption in transportation of products and materials, and loss of productivity. If the Company’s customers are unable to operate or are required to reduce operations due to severe weather conditions, and as a result curtail purchases of the Company’s products and services, the Company’s business could be adversely affected.
A terrorist attack or armed conflict could harm the Company’s business.
Terrorist activities, anti-terrorist efforts, and other armed conflicts involving the U.S. could adversely affect the U.S. and global economies and could prevent the Company from meeting financial and other obligations. The Company could experience loss of business, delays or defaults in payments from payors, or disruptions of fuel supplies and markets if pipelines, production facilities, processing plants, or refineries are direct targets or indirect casualties of an act of terror or war. Such activities could reduce the overall demand for oil and natural gas which, in turn, could also reduce the demand for the Company’s products and services. Terrorist activities and the threat of potential terrorist activities and any resulting economic downturn could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, impair the ability to raise capital, or otherwise adversely impact the Company’s ability to realize certain business strategies. The armed conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East could affect regions in which the Company does business directly or indirectly and could harm the Company’s ability to sell its good and services in those regions.
Risks Related to the Company’s Securities
The market price of the Company’s common stock has been and may continue to be volatile.
The market price of the Company’s common stock is subject to significant fluctuations. The following factors, among others, could cause the price of the Company’s common stock to fluctuate:
•variations in the Company’s quarterly results of operations;
•changes in market valuations of companies within the Company’s industry;
•fluctuations in stock market prices and volume;
•fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices;
•issuances of common stock or other securities in the future, including warrants convertible into the Company’s common stock;
•additions or departures of key personnel;
•inability of either party to perform its obligations under our agreement with ProFrac Services, LLC regarding the purchase of our chemicals;
•announcements by the Company or the Company’s competitors of new business, acquisitions, or joint ventures; and
•negative statements made by external parties about the Company’s business in public forums.
The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in recent years that have affected the price of common stock of companies within many industries including the oil and natural gas industry. The price of the Company’s common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little to do with the Company’s operational performance, and these fluctuations could materially reduce the Company’s stock price. The Company could be a defendant in a legal case related to a significant loss of value for the shareholders. This could be expensive and divert management’s attention and Company resources, as well as have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows, financial condition or securities.
The Company’s common stock is thinly traded; therefore, our stock price may fluctuate more than the stock market as a whole and it may be difficult to sell large numbers of our shares at prevailing trading prices.
As a result of the thin trading market for shares of our common stock, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent, our stock price
18
may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole or the stock prices of similar companies. Without a larger public float, shares of our common stock will be less liquid than the shares of common stock of companies with broader public ownership, and as a result, it may be difficult for investors to sell the number of shares they desire at an acceptable price. Trading of a relatively small volume of shares of our common stock may have a greater effect on the trading price than would be the case if our public float were larger. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the likelihood that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be maintained, your ability to sell your shares of our common stock when desired or the prices that you may obtain for your shares.
The Company’s relationship with ProFrac Services, LLC and certain of its affiliates may create a conflict of interest.
The Company derived 62% and 65% of its revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, from ProFrac Services LLC. In addition to being the Company’s largest customer, certain affiliates of ProFrac Services LLC, entered into various convertible debt transactions with the Company during 2022, which were subsequently converted into shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in 2023 (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable” and Note 17, “Related Party Transactions,” in Part II, Item 8 - “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report). As a result, ProFrac Holdings, LLC or its affiliates owned approximately 51% of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2024 making them the Company’s largest shareholder. In addition, ProFrac Holdings, LLC currently consolidates the Company’s financial results in its financial results and also has the right to elect four out of seven members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Pursuant to this right, Matt Wilks was nominated and elected to serve on our Board at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of shareholders and Evan Farber was appointed to our Board on October 11, 2022. As a result of the operational and financial relationship with ProFrac Services LLC and its affiliates, as the Company’s largest customer, a Board member and the Company’s majority shareholder, certain conflicts of interest may occur.
If the Company cannot meet the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) continued listing requirements, the NYSE may delist the Company’s common stock.
The Company’s common stock is currently listed on the NYSE. In the future, if the Company is not able to meet the continued listing requirements of the NYSE, the Company’s common stock may be delisted. A delisting of its common stock could negatively impact the Company by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of its common stock; reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Company’s common stock, which could negatively impact its ability to raise equity financing; decreasing the amount of news and analyst coverage of the Company; and limiting the Company’s ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. In addition, delisting from the NYSE might negatively impact the Company’s reputation and, as a consequence, its business, operating results, cash flows, financial condition or securities.
Future issuance of additional shares of common stock could cause dilution of ownership interests and adversely affect the Company’s common stock price.
The Company is currently authorized to issue up to 240,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company may, in the future, issue previously authorized and unissued shares of common stock, which would result in the dilution of current stockholders’ ownership interests. Additional shares are subject to issuance through unexercised warrants, equity compensation plans or through the exercise of currently outstanding equity awards. The potential issuance of additional shares of common stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of the Company’s common stock. The Company may also issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in order to raise capital or effectuate other business purposes. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that sales could occur, could have an adverse effect on the price of the Company’s common stock.
The Company may issue a substantial amount of securities in connection with future acquisitions, and the sale of those securities could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock or other securities.
As part of our growth strategy, we may issue additional securities, or securities that have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to our other securities. We may file future shelf registration statements with the SEC that we may use to sell securities from time to time in connection with acquisitions. To the extent that we are able to grow through acquisitions and are able to pay for such acquisitions with shares of our common stock or other securities, the number of outstanding shares of common stock or other securities that will be eligible for sale in the future is likely to increase substantially. Persons receiving shares of our common stock or other securities in connection with these acquisitions may be more likely to sell large quantities of their common stock or other securities, which may influence the price of our common stock or other securities. In addition, the potential issuance of additional shares of common stock or other securities in connection with anticipated acquisitions could lessen demand for our common stock or other securities and result in a lower price than would otherwise be obtained.
19
The Company may issue shares of preferred stock or debt securities with greater rights than the Company’s common stock.
Subject to the rules of the NYSE, the Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes the board of directors to issue one or more additional series of preferred stock and to set the terms of the issuance without seeking approval from holders of common stock. Currently, there are 100,000 preferred shares authorized, with no shares currently outstanding. Any preferred stock that is issued may rank senior to common stock in terms of dividends, priority and liquidation premiums, and may have greater voting rights than holders of common stock.
Certain anti-takeover provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and applicable Delaware law could discourage or prevent others from acquiring the Company, which may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.
The Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that, among other things:
•permit the Company to issue, without stockholder approval, shares of preferred stock, in one or more series and, with respect to each series, to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of the series;
•prohibit stockholders from calling special meetings;
•limit the ability of stockholders to act by written consent;
•prohibit cumulative voting; and
•require advance notice for stockholder proposals and nominations for election to the board of directors to be acted upon at meetings of stockholders.
In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law limits business combinations with owners of more than 15% of the Company’s voting stock without the approval of the board of directors. Aforementioned provisions and other similar provisions make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the Company exclusive of negotiation. The Company’s board of directors could choose not to negotiate with an acquirer deemed not beneficial to or synergistic with the Company’s strategic outlook. If an acquirer were discouraged from offering to acquire the Company or prevented from successfully completing a hostile acquisition by these anti-takeover measures, stockholders could lose the opportunity to sell their shares at a favorable price.
ProFrac Holdings, LLC, together with its affiliates, owned approximately 51% of our common stock as of December 31, 2024 making them our largest shareholder. This level of ownership of shares of our common stock could have the effect of discouraging or impeding an unsolicited acquisition proposal.
The Company has no current plans to pay dividends on the Company’s common stock, and, therefore, investors will have to look to stock appreciation for return on investments.
The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the Company’s common stock within the foreseeable future. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will depend, among other things, on the Company’s earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends, and other considerations deemed relevant by the board of directors. Investors must rely on sales of common stock held after price appreciation, which may never occur, in order to realize a return on their investment. The lack of plans for dividends may make the common stock of the Company an unattractive investment for investors who are seeking dividends.
General Risk Factors
If the Company loses the services of key members of management, the Company may not be able to manage operations and implement growth strategies.
The Company depends on the continued service of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and other key members of the executive management team, who possess significant expertise and knowledge of the Company’s business and industry. The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain of these key members. Any loss or interruption of the services of key members of the Company’s management could significantly reduce the Company’s ability to manage operations effectively and implement strategic business initiatives.
The Company’s tax returns are subject to audit by tax authorities. Taxing authorities may make claims for back taxes, interest and penalties. Changes in U.S. tax legislation may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The Company is subject to income, property, excise, employment, and other taxes in the U.S. and a variety of other jurisdictions around the world. Tax rules and regulations in the U.S. and around the world are complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time, taxing authorities conduct audits of the Company’s tax filings and may make claims for increased taxes and, in some cases, assess interest and penalties. The assessments for back taxes, interest, and penalties could be
20
significant. If the Company is unsuccessful in contesting these claims, the resulting payments could result in a drain on the Company’s capital resources and liquidity. In addition, there may be material adverse effects resulting from new or future U.S. tax reforms that have not been identified and that could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Disclaimer of Obligation to Update
Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company assumes no obligation (and specifically disclaims any such obligation) to update these risk factors or any other forward-looking statement contained in this Annual Report to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions, or other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
Not applicable.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
The Company faces a variety of cybersecurity threats that could impact its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reputation. The Company has established a Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (the “CIRT”) to develop and continually enhance a cyber incident response plan, which guides the Company in identification, containment, eradication and recovery from cybersecurity incidents. The CIRT is led by the Company’s Director of Information Technology (the “Director of IT”), who reports to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Director of IT has a formal education in Computer Information Systems and is a Microsoft Certified Information Systems Professional with 28 years of experience. The Director of IT has comprehensive experience in cybersecurity controls, including intrusion detection, network security, operating systems, incident response and a track record of identifying cyber risks and implementing countermeasures to mitigate cyber attacks.
The CIRT is charged with the evaluation and implementation of incident response tools, and the implementation of mandatory training procedures and exercises to mitigate and remediate potential cybersecurity incidents. The CIRT members are comprised of representatives from management, including the Company’s Chief Executive and Financial Officers, information technology, legal and communications teams. The CIRT reports to the Risk & Sustainability Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, whichis tasked with oversight of the general risk and sustainability programs of the Company. The Board has an active role in overseeing management of the Company’s risks and regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s operations, liquidity and associated risks. While each committee of the Board is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of those risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through committee reports.
The Company uses several real-time systems for detecting potential threats to its systems, devices and user accounts. In addition, the Company reviews controls implemented by its third-party service providers to ensure that the providers’ controls have been designed to effectively mitigate cybersecurity risks that could affect the Company’s systems. The Company also engages third-party consultants to evaluate its security and disclose any potential weaknesses within the Company’s systems. The CIRT reviews the findings of these evaluations and will determine the steps required to minimize the effects of any discovered weaknesses and implement changes as deemed necessary. The Company’s information technology team is tasked with the initial assessment of a suspected incident and evaluates the suspected incident based on the Company’s cybersecurity policy.
In the event of an incident, we intend to follow our cyber incident response plan. Any assessment that is deemed an actionable incident would trigger an alert to the CIRT. The CIRT will further assesses the incident according to a predefined scale (e.g., low, medium, high and critical) and initiate the Company’s incident response plan and communication protocols. The CIRT, in conjunction with the Risk and Sustainability Committee, will assess the materiality of the incident with respect to the rules, regulations and disclosure requirements of the SEC and NYSE. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report. As of December 31, 2024, we have not identified any risks from known cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
The Company’s common stock trades on the NYSE under the stock ticker symbol “FTK.” As of the close of business on March 7, 2025, there were approximately 36 holders of record of our common stock. A substantially greater number of holders of our common stock are “street name” or beneficial holders, whose shares are held by banks, brokers and other financial institutions. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its common stock. The Company has no current plans to declare dividends on its common stock.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any sales of securities in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Company’s stock compensation plans allow employees to elect to have shares withheld to satisfy their tax liabilities related to non-qualified stock options exercised or restricted stock vested or to pay the exercise price of the options. When this settlement method is elected by the employee, the Company repurchases the shares withheld upon vesting of the award stock. Repurchases of the Company’s equity securities during the three months ended December 31, 2024, that the Company made or were made on behalf of the Company or any “affiliated purchaser,” as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act are as follows:
Period Total Number of Shares Purchased (1) Average Price Paid per Share

Executive Summary
Flotek creates unique solutions to reduce the environmental impact of energy on air, water, land and people. A technology-driven, specialty chemistry and data technology company, Flotek helps customers across industrial and commercial markets improve their environmental performance. The Company seeks to provide sustainable and optimized chemistry and data technology solutions for both domestic and international energy markets.
The Company’s two operating segments, CT and DA, are supported by the Company’s continuing Research and Innovation (“R&I”) advanced laboratory capabilities.
Company Overview
Chemistry Technologies
The Company’s CT segment provides sustainable, optimized chemistry solutions that we believe maximize our customers’ value by improving return on invested capital, lowering operational costs, and providing tangible environmental benefits. 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 their desired chemical applications program. The Company designs, develops, manufactures, packages, distributes and markets optimized chemistry solutions that are designed to 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, such as our related party ProFrac Services, LLC, with whom we have a long-term supply agreement, as well as industrial companies. 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 may benefit from our best-in-class technology, field operations, and continuous improvement exercises that go beyond existing sustainability practices.
ProFrac Supply Agreement
On February 2, 2022, the Company entered into a Chemical Products Supply Agreement with ProFrac Services, LLC, which was subsequently amended on May 17, 2022 and February 1, 2023 (collectively, the “ProFrac Agreement”).
The ProFrac Agreement contains minimum requirements for chemistry purchases. If the minimum volume purchases are not achieved within the applicable measurement period, ProFrac Services, LLC is required to 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 the measurement period (“Contract Shortfall Fees”). The ProFrac Agreement provides that payment of Contract Shortfall Fees is to be made within 30 days after the applicable measurement period. The measurement period for Contract Shortfall Fees during 2023 was June 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Related party revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 reflected Contract Shortfall Fees of $20.1 million. The minimum purchase requirements were not met during the 2024 measurement period of January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 and, as a result, the Company recorded revenue related to Contract Shortfall Fees of $32.4 million.
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 property measurements are delivered simultaneously on refined fuels, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), natural gas, crude oil, and condensates using the industry’s only field-deployable, in-line optical near-infrared spectrometer that generates no emissions. The instrument's response is processed with advanced chemometrics modeling, artificial intelligence, and machine learning algorithms to deliver valuable insights every fifteen seconds.
We believe customers using this technology have obtained significant benefits, including additional profits, by enhancing operations in crude/condensates stabilization, enhancing blending operations, reducing time impacting transmix operations,
23
increasing efficiencies and optimization of gas plants, allowing for the use of significantly lower cost field gas instead of diesel to generate power, lowering emissions and protecting equipment, and ensuring product quality while reducing giveaways, i.e., providing higher value products at the lower value products prices. More efficient operations have the benefit of reducing carbon footprint, e.g., less flaring and reduction in energy expenditure for compression and re-processing. Our customers in North America include oil and gas supermajors, some of the largest midstream oil and gas companies, large gas processing plants and independent exploration and production companies. We have developed a line of VeraxTM analyzers for deployment internationally, which was certified for compliance in hazardous locations and harsh weather conditions.
Research & Innovation
R&I supports both our business segments through green chemistry formulation, specialty chemical formulations and EPA regulatory guidance, technical support, basin and reservoir studies, data analytics and new technology projects. The purpose of R&I is to supply the Company’s business 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 CT and DA performance, optimization and manufacturing. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $1.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of research and development expense. The Company expects that its 2025 research and development investment will continue to support new product development and customization initiatives for its clients.
Consolidated Results of Operations (in thousands)

Total other (expense) income (1,049) 1,639
Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased $1.0 million versus the same period of 2023. The decrease in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven primarily by a decrease in activity under the ProFrac Agreement, partially offset by increased Contract Shortfall Fees and higher revenue from external customers and higher DA revenues.
Consolidated cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased $16.2 million, or 10%, versus the same period of 2023. The decrease is primarily driven by decreased activity with ProFrac Services, LLC and lower freight and equipment
24
rental costs due to the decreased volume of business, partially offset by higher costs related to increased non-related party volumes and increased salaries and wages. The reduction in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue in 2024 was the result of higher revenue from Contract Shortfall Fees, which have no associated costs.
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, 2024, decreased $3.1 million, or 11%, versus the same period of 2023 as a result of reduced legal fees in 2024, partially offset by higher stock compensation expense.
Research and development (“R&D”) costs decreased $0.8 million, or 31%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, versus the same period of 2023 driven by lower personnel costs resulting from headcount optimization.
Operating income decreased by $11.0 million to $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 versus the same period in 2023. The decrease in 2024 is primarily due to the $30.0 million gain in fair value of the Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable for the year ended December 31, 2023 with no corresponding activity for the year ended December 31, 2024, partially offset by a $15.1 million increase in gross profit resulting from higher Contract Shortfall Fees, a $3.1 million decrease in SG&A expenses and a $0.8 million decrease in R&D expenses.
Total other (expense) income for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased $2.7 million, driven primarily by a $4.5 million gain for the forgiveness of the Flotek PPP loan during 2023 with no corresponding activity in 2024, partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in interest expense related to the maturity of the Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable in the first half of 2023.

Corporate and Other Results of Operations:
Years ended December 31,
Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $2.3 million, or 15%, compared to the same period of 2023 due to decreased professional fees, partially offset by increased stock compensation expense.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Overview
The Company’s capital requirements relate to the acquisition and maintenance of equipment and funding of working capital requirements. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company funded working capital requirements with cash on hand and borrowings under the ABL (defined below).
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $4.4 million compared to $5.9 million on December 31, 2023. In addition, at March 10,2025, the Company had approximately $15 million in available borrowings under the ABL. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had $12.2 million of operating income, $3.4 million of cash provided by operating activities, $1.8 million of cash used in investing activities and $3.1 million of cash used in financing activities. While we believe our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operating activities, which includes the collection of the Contract Shortfall Fees as described further below, and availability under the ABL will be sufficient to fund our capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due, uncertainty surrounding the long-term stability and strength of the oil and gas markets, and the resulting potential impact on our customers’ ability to pay their obligations to us in a timely manner could have a negative impact on our liquidity. In addition, the availability of capital is dependent on the Company’s operating cash flow, which is currently expected to be principally derived from the ProFrac Agreement. The minimum purchase requirements under the ProFrac Agreement were not met during the 2024 measurement period of January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, and as a result, the Company recorded revenue related to Contract Shortfall Fees of $32.4 million, of which $15.0 million was collected through March 12, 2025.
Asset Based Loan
In August 2023, the Company entered into a 24-month revolving loan and security agreement in connection with an Asset Based Loan, which was amended in October 2023 and again in August 2024 (as amended, the “ABL”). The August 2024 amendment to the ABL extended the maturity to August 2026, increased the credit availability and lowered the interest rate spread. The ABL provides up to $20.0 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, plus (iii) 60% of the value of certain real estate holdings.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $4.8 million outstanding under the ABL. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred $0.7 million in interest and fees related to the ABL. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $0.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the ABL.
Borrowings under the ABL bear interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (subject to a floor of 5.50%) plus 2.0% per annum. The interest rate under the ABL was 9.5% and 11.0% as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the weighted-average interest rate was 10.8%. 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 term, the Company is required to pay an early termination fee of 2.50% of the borrowing base limit of the ABL (if terminated with more than 12 months remaining until the maturity date) or 1.50% 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 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 all of the covenants under the ABL as of December 31, 2024.

Accrued liabilities increased $5.7 million and operating lease liabilities decreased $2.4 million primarily due to payments on equipment leases.
•For the year ended December 31, 2023, changes in working capital resulted primarily from increases in accounts receivable, including related party, of $6.5 million, and a decrease in inventories of $1.9 million due to reduced sales with ProFrac Services, LLC in late 2023. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $1.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The decrease in accrued liabilities is primarily due to accrued severance, sales taxes and professional fees, partially offset by higher bonus accruals. Operating lease liabilities decreased $3.4 million primarily due to payments on equipment leases.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.8 million primarily due to capital additions, including new equipment and sensors expected to be utilized in flare monitoring. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $1.0 million primarily due to system enhancements and capital additions.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily from $2.7 million in net payments on the ABL and $0.4 million in payments for loan origination fees and shares withheld for taxes.
27
Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily from net proceeds from the ABL. Net cash provided was partially offset by severance payments attributed to our former chief executive officer’s forfeited vested stock options, loan origination fees, and payments for shares withheld for taxes.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Our most 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 estimates 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 estimates.
Contract Assets
The Company’s contract assets represent consideration which was issued in the form of convertible notes (Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable as discussed in Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable” in Part II, Item 8) and other incremental costs related to obtaining the ProFrac Agreement in 2022. The contract assets are amortized over the term of the ProFrac Agreement based on forecasted revenues. As goods are transferred to ProFrac Services, LLC, 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 contract less the direct costs that relate to providing those goods in the future. Significant or unanticipated changes to our forecast could impact the recoverability of the contract assets.
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 sales.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory was $5.2 million and $6.1 million, or 28.2% and 32.3% 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements which may impact the Company are described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - 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 exposed to a variety of market risks, which primarily includes market risk from changes in interest rates, raw material prices, freight costs and foreign currency exchange rates. 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, freight 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.
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 2024, approximately 4.9% of revenue was denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies and substantially 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.
28
A 10% devaluation in average foreign currency exchange rates for the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a $0.9 million decrease to our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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 and Freight Risk
The Company, and the CT segment in particular, primarily relies upon supply relationships to meet many of its raw material needs. Commodity and freight price increases are passed along to the Company’s customers, where applicable or possible. The Company presently does not utilize commodity derivative instruments but may consider utilizing forms of hedging to mitigate the effects of rising commodity prices on its supplies, in the future.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is subject to interest rate risk under its ABL, which bears interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (subject to a floor of 5.50%) plus 2.0% per annum. The interest rate under the ABL was 9.5% and 11.0% as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the weighted-average interest rate was 10.8%. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred $0.7 million in interest and fees related to the ABL. Based upon ABL borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2024 of $4.8 million, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would have resulted in an approximate $0.1 million change to our annual interest expense.

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 sheets of Flotek Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flow, and stockholders’ equity for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, 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, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, 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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits, 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate 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 critical audit matters 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 matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Recoverability of contract assets
As described in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company’s contract assets represent consideration issued in the form of convertible notes and other incremental costs related to obtaining the ProFrac Agreement. 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. As described in Note 4, the Company had recorded contract assets, net of $69.0 million as of December 31, 2024.
We identified the evaluation of the recoverability of contract assets as a critical audit matter. There was subjective auditor judgement in evaluating the key assumptions used in the Company’s contract asset recoverability assessment, specifically the forecasted product revenue and related forecasted costs to provide products over the term of the ProFrac Agreement.
30
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 contract assets recoverability assessment, including controls over the development of forecasted revenue and costs over the term of the ProFrac Agreement. To assess the Company’s ability to forecast revenue and costs, we compared revenue and cost forecasts for the current year to actual results. We performed sensitivity analyses over the Company’s contract asset recoverability assessment by evaluating the effect of changes in the forecasted revenue and costs over the term of the ProFrac Agreement.

A technology-driven, specialty chemistry and data company, Flotek helps customers across industrial and commercial markets improve their environmental performance. The Company seeks to provide sustainable and optimized chemistry and data technology solutions for both domestic and international energy markets.
The Company’s Chemistry Technologies (“CT”) segment designs, develops, manufactures, packages and distributes specialty chemicals that help customers improve their return on invested capital, lower operational costs and realize tangible environmental benefits aimed at enhancing the profitability of hydrocarbon producers.
The Company’s Data Analytics (“DA”) segment provides innovative analytical measurement solutions. The DA segment seeks to deliver real-time information and insights to our customers to enable optimization of operations and reduction of emissions and their carbon intensity.
The Company’s operating segments, CT and DA, are supported by its Research & Innovation (“R&I”) advanced laboratory capabilities. For further discussion of our operations and segments, see Note 17, “Business Segment, Geographic and Major Customer Information.”
As used herein, “Flotek,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refers to Flotek Industries, Inc. and/or the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The use of these terms is not intended to connote any particular corporate status or relationship.
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 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s restricted cash as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted 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
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.
37
FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are as follows (in thousands):
Balance, beginning of year $ 745 $ 623
Charges to provision for credit losses, net of recoveries 181 138
Balance, end of year $ 447 $ 745
As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had not recorded an allowance for credit losses for the related party accounts receivable from 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, 2024 and 2023.
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 exceeds 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 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-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. There were no impairments of property and equipment, including ROU assets, during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
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 an 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.
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 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, 2024 and 2023.
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 within stockholders’ equity.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income encompasses all changes in stockholders’ equity, except those arising from investments and distributions to stockholders. The Company’s comprehensive income 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.
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.
