PART I

Item 1. Business.

General

Flotek creates unique solutions to reduce the environmental impact of energy on air, water, land and people. A technology-driven, specialty green chemistry and data company, Flotek helps customers across industrial and commercial markets improve their environmental performance. The Company serves specialty chemistry needs for both domestic and international energy markets.

The Company’s Chemistry Technologies (“CT”) segment designs, develops, manufactures, packages and distributes green, 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 aims to enable users to maximize the value of their hydrocarbon associated processes by providing analytics associated with their hydrocarbon streams in seconds rather than minutes or days. The real-time access to information prevents waste, reduces reprocessing and allows users to pursue automation of their hydrocarbon streams to increase their profitability.

The Company was initially incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia in 1985. In October 2001, the Company changed its corporate domicile to the State of Delaware. In December 2007, the Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the stock ticker symbol “FTK.” Annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are posted to the Company’s website, www.flotekind.com, as soon as practicable subsequent to electronically filing or furnishing to the SEC. Information contained in the Company’s website is not to be considered as part of any regulatory filing.

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.

Recent Developments

The Board appointed Dr. Ryan Ezell, the Company’s then existing President, as its Chief Executive Officer, effective as of June 6, 2023. Dr. Ezell was also appointed to the Board, effective as of June 8, 2023.

On August 14, 2023, the Company entered into an asset-based loan (the “ABL”) providing for a 24-month term with up to $10 million of initial credit availability for eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. On October 5, 2023, the maximum credit availability under the ABL was increased by $3.8 million to a total of $13.8 million.

In order to regain compliance with New York Stock Exchange rules regarding minimum share price, the Company completed a 1-for-6 reverse split of its common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The shares of common stock began trading on the split-adjusted basis under the Company’s existing trading symbol, “FTK” on September 26, 2023.

Description of Operations and Segments

The Company’s operations have two business segments, CT and DA, which are both supported by the Company’s Research & Innovation (“R&I”) advanced laboratory capabilities. Financial information about the Company’s operating segments and geographic concentration is provided in Note 18, “Business Segment, Geographic and Major Customer and Supplier Information” in Part II, Item 8 – “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report.

Chemistry Technologies

We believe that the Company’s CT segment provides sustainable, optimized chemistry solutions that 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 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 applications. Major integrated oil and gas companies, oilfield services companies, independent oil and gas companies, national and state-owned oil companies, geothermal energy companies, solar energy companies and advanced alternative energy companies benefit from 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 the Initial ProFrac Agreement, 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 volumes 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 current measurement period for Contract Shortfall Fees is June 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The minimum purchase requirements were not met during the current measurement period, and as a result, related party revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 reflect Contract Shortfall Fees of $20.1 million, of which $10.0 million was collected through March 11, 2024, with the remainder due on or before April 8, 2024.

Data Analytics

The DA segment delivers real-time information and insights to our customers to enable optimization of operations and reduction of emissions and their carbon intensity. Real-time composition and physical properties are delivered simultaneously on their refined fuels, natural gas liquids (NGLs), natural gas, crude oil, and condensates using the industry’s only field-deployable, in-line optical near-infra-red spectrometer that generates no emissions. The instrument's response is processed with advanced chemometrics modeling, artificial intelligence, and machine learning algorithms to deliver these valuable insights every 15 seconds.

We believe customers using this technology have obtained significant benefits, including additional profits, by enhancing operations in crude/condensates stabilization, blending operations, reduction of transmix, increasing efficiencies and optimization of gas plants, allowing for the use of significantly lower cost field gas instead of diesel to generate power, lower emissions and protect 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 their carbon footprint, e.g., less flaring and reduction in energy expenditure for compression and re-processing. Our customers in North America include the

4

supermajors, some of the largest midstream companies and large gas processing plants. We have developed a line of Verax™ analyzers for deployment internationally which was certified for compliance in hazardous locations and harsh weather conditions.

Research & Innovation

R&I supports both business segments through green chemistry formulation, specialty chemical formulations and Environmental Protection Agency (“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 chemistry performance, detection, optimization and manufacturing. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $2.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of research and development expense. The Company expects that its 2024 research and development investment will continue to support new product development, especially in support of enhanced environmental demands, increased adoption of green chemistry and conventional customization initiatives for its clients.

Seasonality

Overall, operations generally are not significantly affected by seasonality; however, weather conditions can cause delays in clients’ activity levels. Certain working capital components build and recede throughout the year in conjunction with established purchasing and selling cycles that can impact operating results and financial position. The sale of the Company’s products and performance of the Company’s services can be susceptible to both weather and naturally occurring phenomena, including, but not limited to, the following:

•the severity and duration of winter temperatures in North America, which impacts natural gas storage levels, drilling activity, commodity prices and operations at the Company’s facilities;

•material deviations from normal seasonality for an extended period, which can impact access to operations, reduced performance at manufacturing facilities, inability to deploy required personnel, supply chain interruptions, facility damage and customer activity levels;

•hurricanes upon coastal and offshore operations, which can impact access to operations, reduced performance at manufacturing facilities, inability to deploy required personnel, supply chain interruptions, facility damage and customer activity levels; and

•pandemics or similar phenomena, which may impact seasonal purchasing and selling cycles.

Product Demand and Marketing

Demand for the Company’s energy-focused products and services in both the CT and DA segments is driven by energy supply and demand, as well as operator desire to improve profitability and returns. Demand for the Company’s energy chemistry products and services is dependent on levels of conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas well drilling and completion activity, both domestically and internationally.

The Company markets its products to end user customers using both direct and indirect sales channels. These sales channels are accessed using a mix of in-house sales professionals as well as certain contractual agency agreements. The Company also actively participates in industry trade shows, both live and virtual, publishes articles in industry publications, and participates in podcasts and creates other online content to educate the market on its product and service offerings. While the Company’s primary marketing efforts remain focused in North America, resources and efforts are also deployed on emerging international markets, especially in the Middle East.

Product revenues include significant sales to related parties as described in Note 17, “Related Party Transactions” in Part II, Item 8 - “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report.

Facilities and Offices

See Part 1, Item 2 - “Properties”, for information regarding our manufacturing, warehouse and research facilities and sales offices.

Intellectual Property

The Company endeavors to protect its intellectual property, both within and outside of the U.S. The Company considers patent protection for all products and methods deemed to have commercial significance and that may qualify for patent protection. The decision to pursue patent protection is dependent upon several factors, including whether patent protection can be obtained, cost effectiveness, and alignment with operational and commercial interests. The Company believes its patent and trademark

5

portfolio, combined with confidentiality agreements, EPA registrations and licensing, trade secrets, proprietary designs, and manufacturing and operational expertise, are sufficient to protect its intellectual property and provide continued strategic advantage. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 138 granted patents, including 114 patents in our CT segment and 24 patents in our DA segment. In addition, the Company also had 4 pending patent applications filed in the U.S. and abroad, including 1 for the CT segment and 3 for the DA segment. The patents of the CT segment cover various chemical compositions and methods of use. The patents of the DA segment cover various systems and methods of use for online determination of chemical composition and data analysis. We believe the duration of our patents is adequate relative to the expected lives of our products. In addition, the Company had 41 registered trademarks in the U.S. and abroad, covering a variety of its goods and services.

Competition

Our ability to compete is dependent upon the Company’s ability to differentiate its products and services by providing superior quality and service, and maintaining a competitive cost structure with sufficient and reliable access to raw material supplies. Activity levels in the oilfield goods and services industry are impacted by current and expected oil and natural gas prices, oil and natural gas drilling activity, production levels, customer drilling and completion-designated capital spending, and customer commitment to improved environmental performance. The unpredictability of the energy industry and commodity price fluctuations create both increased risk and opportunity for the products and services of both the Company and its competitors. The DA segment faces competition from other providers of equipment and services for real-time information in the upstream, midstream, refining and distribution market.

Raw Materials

Materials and components used in the Company’s servicing and manufacturing operations, as well as those purchased for sale, are generally available on the open market from multiple sources. When able, the Company uses multiple suppliers, both domestically and internationally, to purchase raw materials on the open market. The prices paid for raw materials vary based on availability, weather, other commodity price fluctuations, contractual obligations, tariffs, duties on imported materials, foreign currency exchange rates, business cycle position and global demand. Higher prices for chemistries and certain raw materials could adversely impact future sales, contract fulfillment and product margins. The Company is diligent in its efforts to identify alternate suppliers in its contingency planning utilizing competitive bidding practices to proactively reduce costs and potential supply shortages. The Company has worked to broaden the technical specifications of some products to help ensure that required molecules can be sourced from more than one supplier.

Government Regulations

The Company is subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including laws related to the environment, occupational safety, health, transportation and trade within the U.S. and other countries in which the Company does business. These laws and regulations strictly govern the manufacture, storage, transportation, sale, use and disposal of chemistry products. The Company strives to ensure full compliance with all regulatory requirements.

The Company continually evaluates the environmental impact of its operations and attempts to identify potential liabilities and costs of any environmental remediation, litigation or associated claims. Several products of the CT segment are considered hazardous materials. In the event of a leak or spill in association with Company operations, the Company could be exposed to risk of material cost, net of insurance proceeds, if any, to remediate any contamination. To the Company’s knowledge, no environmental claims are currently being litigated or investigated.

Sustainability

Flotek’s vision is to create solutions to reduce the environmental impact of energy on air, water, land and people. Our mission is to be the collaborative partner of choice for sustainable chemistry technology and digital analytics solutions. We believe that green chemistry and digital transformation reduce the total cost of ownership and environmental risk of our customers and can transform business by reducing carbon footprints, energy consumption, emissions and overall environmental impact.

We have green, sustainable chemistry at our core, and we focus on providing responsible specialty chemistry solutions that are environmentally friendly and cost-competitive. Our products offered by our CT segment displace harmful chemicals such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) in energy production, and our logistics and delivery methodology results in lower product usage and lower carbon emissions due to delivery. The analyzers produced by our DA segment are a closed-loop system, meaning that samples of potentially harmful gasses and fluids do not need to be routinely taken and flared, as is the case with gas chromatographs. This results in lower emissions. In addition, our analyzers’ ability to determine the mixing of two batches of product (“transmix”) in real-time results in less time, energy and resources spent processing the transmix. Finally, our analyzers, when used to monitor field gas for well-site power generation, allow customers to significantly reduce the use of higher emission and more expensive diesel.

Human Capital

Employee Overview

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately 146 employees, exclusive of existing worldwide agency relationships. None of the Company’s employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement and labor relations are generally good.

Employees & Health, Safety & Environment

The Company is committed to acting with care to protect the health and safety of people, resources and the environment. Each employee is responsible for working towards the health, safety and environment (“HSE”) goals, as they are not isolated to certain individuals or roles. We aim to hold each other accountable to a high standard. Thus, every employee is empowered and expected to stop any activity, big or small, that could jeopardize people, the environment or assets.

Our safety, health and environmental goals are designed to sustain our drive to zero incidents. As a result, safety is woven into the fabric of the Company, from our robust training programs, to our safety moments that begin team meetings, to our Hazardous Observation Card program. Our training program is fundamental to operating safely and protecting people and the environment. The Company maintains a robust health, safety and environmental training program that includes both classroom and online curriculum. We assign specific trainings to employees based on their role and function within the Company. Additionally, the Company’s field and plant personnel complete more than 24 hours of training annually. We continuously monitor all operational activities and update training programs as needed to ensure the curriculum remains relevant and effective for minimizing risk and protecting our employees and the environment.

We have a strong commitment to safety in all aspects of our operations through training, safety culture, and tracking of key safety metrics. In 2023, the Company recorded a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.00. The TRIR is a key safety performance metric which calculates the number of recordable incidents per full-time workers during a one-year period.

Compensation: Wages & Benefits

The Company’s compensation programs are designed to provide employee wages that are competitive and consistent with employee positions, skill levels, experience, knowledge and geographic location. We align our programs to attract, retain and motivate employees to achieve high-impact results that create value for all of our stakeholders. In addition to competitive base wages, all employees are eligible for a discretionary bonus, which is based upon individual performance and triggered by company performance, subject to the Company’s liquidity position.

Benefits are a key component of our compensation program. We engage an outside benefits consulting firm to independently evaluate the effectiveness and competitiveness of our employee benefits program, as well as to tailor our program to the unique needs of the Company’s employee base.

All full-time employees are eligible for comprehensive health insurance, including medical insurance, prescription drug benefits, dental insurance and vision insurance. Additionally, the Company offers flexible spending and health savings accounts, life and disability/accident coverage, telemedicine, critical illness insurance and paid leave. Eligible employees may elect to participate in the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and retirement plans, including its 401(k) plan in the U.S. The Company currently matches 401(k) contributions at 100% of up to 2% of an employee’s compensation. The Company also offers access to online and personalized financial planning services as a component of its retirement plan benefit.

The Company continues to prioritize mental health and wellness for employees, maintaining an ongoing dialogue with employees and providing resources through its employee assistance program, which is available to all employees and their families.

Outlook

Our business is subject to numerous variables which impact our outlook and expectations given the shifting conditions of the industry. We have based our outlook on the market conditions we perceive today. Changes often occur.

Energy

The demand for oil and gas and related services fluctuates due to numerous factors including weather and macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. Despite the near term volatility in commodity pricing, leading to the recent weakness in onshore drilling and completion activity, the fundamentals for energy related services remain strong. The overall expansion of the global economy should continue to create substantial demand for all forms of energy which will increase service intensity. Independent exploration and production companies operate the majority of U.S. land rigs and react quickly to changing commodity prices. In the current commodity price environment, we expect these companies in oil-weighted basins to maintain or increase activity while companies in gas-weighted basins are expected to maintain or decrease activity over the next 12

7

months. In general, we expect the major exploration and production companies to maintain activity levels over the next 12 months.

Digital Analytics

The use of data and digital analytics is a growing trend in all industries where technology is leveraged to analyze large datasets of operational information to improve performance, as well as for predictive maintenance, advanced safety measures and reduced environmental impact of operations. We believe Verax™ analyzers have gained a foothold in North American markets for critical applications where compositional information is needed in real-time. The technology delivers insight on valuable operations data like vapor pressure, boiling point, flash point, octane level, API (American Petroleum Institute) gravity, viscosity, BTU (British Thermal Unit) and more, simultaneously. We continue to collaborate with our customers to identify further facilities and applications where our technology has the highest value. To drive recurring revenue, we continue to build on the modular nature of our sensor and analysis packages with new data processing techniques that enhance the value of our installations. AIDA (Automated Interface Detection Algorithm) provides real-time detection of interfaces in a liquids pipeline without the need for additional sampling or chemometric modeling. The application can identify products such as refined fuels, crude and NGLs with its advanced machine learning algorithms and detect interfaces real-time versus traditional lab analysis. We believe this allows customers to cut batches quickly and accurately, reduce transmix and minimize off-spec product that requires downgrades. We are also gaining traction leveraging the Verax™ in applications where operators and service companies are using field gas as a substitute for diesel in dual fuel engines as the market moves to Tier 4 equipment and eFleets. Analyzing this in real-time allows companies to maximize the field gas for diesel substitution rate providing significant cost savings while lowering emissions, reducing fuel consumption/costs, and protecting the equipment from damage.

Supply Chain

The principal supply issues facing our industry for the next twelve months will include:

•Fluctuating freight costs for shipping to our customers;

•Availability of raw materials;

•Labor shortages; and

•Demand forecasting.

All bidding will require the risk of shipping costs and delays to be factored into proposals. Trucking availability and pricing will impact North American opportunities while security of delivery for sea-freight could impact sales of North American manufactured goods being delivered internationally for the foreseeable future. The overall flow of materials globally could experience price increases. Military conflicts in the Middle East could also result in supply disruption.

•weather conditions; and

•foreign exchange rates.

The volatility of commodity prices and the consequential effect on the activities of the Company’s target customer base 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, specifically as it concerns the continued adoption of chemistry solutions with lower overall impact on the environment. 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 professional chemistry 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.

Furthermore, if key suppliers were to experience significant cash flow constraints or become insolvent as a result of such conditions, 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’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 65% of our total revenues during 2023. 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 and executing timely billing and collection, the Company’s

9

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.

We are also dependent on ProFrac Services, LLC’s compliance in meeting their committed activity levels and paying for products provided, including any Contract Shortfall Fees, in 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 they are unable to pay their outstanding obligations to the Company, including those payments related to Contract Shortfall Fees. As of March 11, 2024, approximately $10.0 million of Contract Shortfall Fees from 2023 have been collected with the remaining $10.1 million due on or before April 8, 2024.

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 product in accordance with the specifications, or failure to timely deliver product, 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.

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 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 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.

The Company’s existing resources including cash on hand and availability under its ABL, may not be sufficient to finance operations and strategies. The Company may therefore need to rely on external financing sources, including commercial borrowings and issuances of debt and 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. If the Company cannot access capital on acceptable terms when required, the Company’s business, financial conditions 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. 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 currently charges. The Company operates in an environment with relatively low barriers to entry; employees of the Company may leave and compete directly with the Company. 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

10

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, increase the cost of selling certain products and services, or result in 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, especially those related to the professional chemistry products, have been registered with the EPA. The failure of the Company to maintain such EPA registrations could result in the inability of the Company to market or sell its products. In the event that the Company cannot maintain its registrations or licenses or is unable to procure new 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.

In the CT segment in aggregate, revenue derived from the Company’s three largest customers as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, totaled 73% and 44%, respectively. The Company has seen customer concentration risk increase due to the entry into the ProFrac Agreement. Unlike the ProFrac Agreement, customer relationships are substantially 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.

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.

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.

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

11

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 Verax™ 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.

Removal of members of management or directors may be difficult or costly.

The Company’s management and employees may have retention, employment or severance agreements in place. In the event that our employees, management or directors do not have the proper skills for management or operation of the Company, or the Company otherwise wishes to remove them from their position(s), the Company may be required to pay severance or similar payments. In addition, the loss of key management personnel or directors and the required transition may cause interruption in

the operations, governance, strategies or management of the Company, which may significantly reduce the Company’s ability to manage operations effectively and implement strategic business initiatives.

Failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and the trading price of the Company’s common stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for the Company to provide reliable financial reports, effectively prevent fraud and operate successfully as a public company. If the Company cannot provide reliable financial reporting or effectively prevent fraud, the Company’s reputation and operating results could be harmed. If the Company is unable to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reports, the Company may not be able to provide reliable financial reporting, which in turn could affect the Company’s operating results or cause the Company to fail to meet its reporting obligations. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in reported financial information, which could negatively affect the trading price of the Company’s common stock, limit the ability of the Company to access capital markets in the future, and require additional costs to improve internal control systems and procedures.

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 more limited 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 in 2022 and 2023, which it anticipates will continue in 2024 and beyond 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.

Failure to adapt to changing buying habits of the Company’s potential and existing customers could have a negative effect on the Company’s ability to attract and retain business.

The demographics and habits of the purchasing departments of many of the Company’s customers and potential customers is changing. Key decision makers may be less experienced and show different buying habits and approaches. Customers are increasingly requiring vendors to integrate with purchasing modules and are using advanced analytics to make purchasing decisions. If the Company does not adapt to these changing purchasing trends, the Company may not be able to attract or retain business.

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” within this Part I.

12

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 alleged injuries arising from the use of Company products, exposure to hazardous substances, patent infringement, employment matters, commercial disputes, claims related to adverse physical reactions to the Company’s products such as rashes or allergic reactions 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.

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 specialty chemical 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;

•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 sales of existing businesses 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. Divestitures 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 has become 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

13

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.

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, prior operators or other 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, 2023 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 does not currently impact 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

14

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.

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. Although citrus oil is considered a VOC, its health, safety, and environmental profile is preferred over other solvents (e.g., benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene), which is currently creating new market opportunities around the world. Changes in the perception of citrus oils as a preferred VOC, 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 in its CT segment is derived from customers engaged in hydraulic fracturing services. Some states have adopted regulations which require operators to publicly disclose certain non-proprietary 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 begun to limit or eliminate their investment in financing of conventional 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.

15

The persistence and/or emergence of new pandemic threats can significantly reduce demand for our services and adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Actions taken by businesses and governments in efforts to mitigate pandemic threats have the potential to negatively impact international and U.S. economic activity for an indeterminable duration. These effects can directly impact the demand for oil and natural gas, as well as our oil and gas related services and products. Furthermore, pandemic conditions can create disruptions in raw materials, logistics, and access to other critical resources such as human capital and financial 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 could continue to 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 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 oil and natural gas markets may be volatile in the future. 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 materially and negatively affected by government regulations and/or facility disruptions.

The demand for our equipment and services offerings in our DA segment could be materially affected by additional regulations on the upstream, midstream, and downstream portions of the oil and gas sectors. Additional regulation on oil and gas

16

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. 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, 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 debt or warrants convertible into the Company’s common stock and earnings per share;

•additions or departures of key personnel;

•inability to execute the ProFrac Agreement

•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 relationship with ProFrac Services, LLC and certain of its affiliates may create a conflict of interest.

The Company derived 65% and 60% of its revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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

17

Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report). As a result, ProFrac Holdings, LLC or its affiliates owns approximately 51% of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2023 making them the Company’s largest shareholder. In addition, ProFrac Holdings, LLC also has the right to elect four out of seven Board members and currently consolidates Flotek in their financial results. Pursuant to this right, Matt Wilks was nominated and elected to serve on the Board at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of shareholders and Evan Farber was appointed to the Board on October 11, 2022. As a result of the operational and financial relationship with ProFrac Services LLC and its affiliates, as both the largest customer and a majority shareholder, certain conflicts of interest may occur.

An active market for the Company’s common stock may not continue to exist or may not continue to exist at current trading levels.

Trading volume for the Company’s common stock historically has been very volatile when compared to companies with larger market capitalization. The Company cannot presume that an active trading market for the Company’s common stock will continue or be sustained. Sales of a significant number of shares of the Company’s common stock in the public market could lower the market price of the Company’s stock.

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. If the Company is unable to satisfy the NYSE criteria for continued listing, its common stock would be subject to delisting. 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.

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.

18

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.

The Company has no 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.

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in 2022, which has been remediated as of December 31, 2023. If we experience material weaknesses or other deficiencies in the future, or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial results, which could result in loss of investor confidence and adversely impact our stock price.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act and other applicable securities rules and regulations. In particular, we are subject to reporting obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that require us to include a management report on our internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Internal controls must be evaluated continuously and be properly designed and executed by a sufficient level of properly trained staff to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A, during the fourth quarter of 2022, management identified a material weakness in the design and operation of internal controls related to accounting for leases, prepaid assets and related-party revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we implemented measures to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate this material weakness. Such measures included ensuring sufficient and appropriate resources in our finance and accounting department, enhancing required training specific to internal control over financial reporting and revenue recognition and other measures to enhance our risk control assessment process and communication processes. After testing the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the enhanced controls, management concluded that the material weakness was remediated as of December 31, 2023.

Our ability to comply with the annual internal control report requirements will depend on the continual effectiveness of our financial reporting controls across our company. We expect these systems and controls to involve significant expenditures and to become more complex as our business grows. To effectively manage this complexity, we will continue to monitor the execution of our controls to ensure their effectiveness and make enhancements when and where necessary. Our inability to successfully avoid or remediate any future material weaknesses or other deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting or any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation or operation of these controls, could harm our operating results and cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations or

19

result in material misstatements in our financial statements. These events could limit our liquidity and access to capital markets, adversely affect our business and investor confidence in our financial statements, and adversely impact our stock price.

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 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 charged with the evaluation and implementation of incident response tools, and the implementation of 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 and reports to the Risk & Sustainability Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which is 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. The Company also engages third-party consultants to evaluate its security and disclose any potential weaknesses within the Company’s systems. The CIRT will review 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

20

December 31, 2023, 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 6, 2024, there were approximately 7,649 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 common stock. The Company has no current plans to declare dividends on its common stock. As discussed in Note 13 - “Stockholders’ Equity” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report, the Company completed a 1-to-6 Reverse Stock Split on September 25, 2023. Unless otherwise noted, references to the number of shares outstanding and issuances under compensation plans have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any sales of securities in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that have not been reported on Form 8-K or Form 10-Q.

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, 2023, 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:

Executive Summary

Flotek creates unique solutions to reduce the environmental impact of energy on air, water, land and people. A technology-driven, specialty green chemistry and data technology company, Flotek helps customers across industrial and commercial markets improve their environmental performance. The Company serves specialty chemistry needs for both domestic and international energy markets.

22

During 2022 the Company entered into the ProFrac Agreement, (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable” and Note 17, “Related Party Transactions”) which has resulted in a significant increase in revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Company Overview

Chemistry Technologies

We believe that the Company’s CT segment provides sustainable, optimized chemistry solutions that 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 its desired chemical applications program. The Company’s CT segment designs, develops, manufactures, packages, distributes and markets optimized chemistry solutions that accelerate existing sustainability practices to reduce the environmental impact of energy on the air, water, land and people.

Customers of the CT segment include those of energy related markets, such as our related party ProFrac Services, LLC, as well as industrial applications. Major integrated oil and gas companies, oilfield services companies, independent oil and gas companies, national and state-owned oil companies, geothermal energy companies, solar energy companies and advanced alternative energy companies benefit from our best-in-class technology, field operations, and continuous improvement exercises that go beyond existing sustainability practices.

Data Analytics

The DA segment delivers real-time information and insights to our customers to enable optimization of operations and reduction of emissions and their carbon intensity. Real-time composition and physical properties are delivered simultaneously on their refined fuels, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), natural gas, crude oil, and condensates using the industry’s only field-deployable, in-line optical near-infra-red spectrometer that generates no emissions. The instrument's response is processed with advanced chemometrics modeling, artificial intelligence, and machine learning algorithms to deliver these valuable insights every 15 seconds.

We believe customers using this technology have obtained significant benefits including additional profits by enhancing operations in crude/condensates stabilization, blending operations, reduction of transmix, increasing efficiencies and optimization of gas plants, allowing for the use of lower cost field gas instead of diesel to generate power and protect 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 their carbon footprint e.g., less flaring and reduction in energy expenditure for compression and re-processing. Our customers in North America include the supermajors, some of the largest midstream companies and large gas processing plants. We have developed a line of Verax™ analyzers for deployment internationally which was certified for compliance in hazardous locations and harsh weather conditions.

Research & Innovation

R&I supports both segments through green chemistry formulation, specialty chemical formulations, 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 segments with enhanced products and services that generate current and future revenues, while advising Company management on opportunities concerning technology, environmental and industry trends. The R&I facilities support advances in chemistry performance, detection, optimization and manufacturing.

ProFrac Supply Agreement

On February 2, 2022, the Company entered into the Initial ProFrac Agreement, 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 volumes 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 current measurement period for Contract Shortfall Fees is June 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The minimum purchase requirements were not met during the current measurement period, and as a result, related party revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 reflect Contract Shortfall Fees of $20.1 million, of which $10.0 million was collected through March 11, 2024 with the remainder due on or before April 8, 2024.

Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $52.0 million, or 38%, versus the same period of 2022. The significant increase in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023 was driven primarily by a full year of activity under the ProFrac Agreement which commenced in the second quarter of 2022. In addition, revenues increased due to continued increased activity with new and existing domestic customers particularly in the CT segment, partially offset by reduced international activity.

Consolidated cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $21.0 million, or 15%, versus the same period of 2022. The increase is primarily driven by the activity with ProFrac Services, LLC and higher freight and equipment rental costs due to the increased volume of business. The reduction in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue in 2023 was the result of revenue from Contract Shortfall Fees, which have no associated costs, and numerous initiatives to reduce the cost of freight and logistics and secure better pricing of materials.

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, 2023, increased $0.7 million, or 3%, versus the same period of 2022.

Research and development (“R&D”) costs decreased $2.0 million, or 44%, for the year ended December 31, 2023, versus the same period of 2022 driven by lower personnel costs resulting from headcount optimization.

Operating income increased by $58.6 million to $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, versus an operating loss of $35 million during the same period in 2022. The improvement was driven primarily by an increased gross profit of $31.0 million resulting from increased related party and external customer revenue, including accrued Contract Shortfall Fees, the gain in fair value of the Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable of $30.0 million compared to the same period of 2022, and a $2.0 million decrease in research and development costs. The improvement was partially offset by an increase in

24

SG&A expenses of $0.7 million and a decrease in gains on the sale of assets and lease termination of $2.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Interest expense and other income for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $8.5 million, driven primarily by a $4.5 million gain for the forgiveness of the Flotek PPP loan and a $4.2 million decrease in interest expense related to the maturity of the Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable in the first half of 2023.

DA external customer revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, increased $2.1 million, or 39%, compared to revenue for 2022. The increase was driven by increased product sales. Related party revenue increased by $0.6 million compared to 2022 relating to services provided to ProFrac Services, LLC outside of the ProFrac Agreement.

Loss from operations for the DA segment for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased $2.8 million, or 98%, compared to 2022. The improvement was primarily due to increased activity and decreased R&D expense and personnel costs.

Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased by $2.0 million, or 11%, compared to the same period of 2022, due to decreased salaries and benefits from reduced headcount, including lower stock compensation costs.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Overview

The Company’s ongoing capital requirements relate to the acquisition and maintenance of equipment and funding of working capital. During 2023, the Company funded working capital requirements with cash on hand and borrowings under the ABL (as defined below) entered into in August 2023.

25

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $5.9 million, as compared to $12.3 million at December 31, 2022. In addition, at March 11, 2024, the Company had approximately $0.5 million in borrowings outstanding under its ABL, as compared to $7.5 million at December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had operating income of $23.2 million, $11.3 million of cash used in operating activities, $1.0 million of cash used in investing activities and $5.9 million of cash provided by financing activities.

Asset Based Loan

On August 14, 2023, the Company entered into a 24-month revolving loan and security agreement in connection with an Asset Based Loan (the “ABL”). The ABL provides up to $10 million of initial 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. On October 5, 2023, the ABL was amended to increase its maximum borrowing base from $10.0 million to a total of $13.8 million.

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

Borrowings under the ABL bear interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (subject to a floor of 5.50%) plus 2.5% per annum. The interest rate under the ABL was 11% as of December 31, 2023. The ABL contains an annual commitment fee equal to 1.0% of the ABL’s borrowing base. Additionally, the Company will be assessed a non-usage fee of 0.25% per quarter based on the difference between the average daily outstanding balance and the borrowing base limit of the ABL. If the ABL is terminated prior to the end of its 24-month term, the Company is required to pay an early termination fee of 2.50% 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, 2023.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

The Company currently funds its operations with cash on hand, availability under the ABL (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report) and other liquid assets. Although the Company has a history of negative cash flows from operations and losses, the Company recognized $24.3 million and $24.7 million of gross profit and net income, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2023. While we believe that our cash, liquid assets, and availability under the ABL will provide us with sufficient financial resources to fund operations to meet our capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due, uncertainty surrounding the long term stability and strength of the oil and gas markets could have a negative impact on our liquidity.

As discussed in Note 17, “Related Party Transactions” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report, the ProFrac Agreement contains minimum requirements for chemistry purchases. If the minimum volumes are not achieved within the applicable measurement period, ProFrac Services LLC is required to pay to the Company, as liquidated damages (“Contract Shortfall Fees”), an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the difference between (i) the aggregate purchase price of the quantity of products comprising the minimum purchase obligation and (ii) the actual purchased volume during the measurement period. The current measurement period for Contract Shortfall Fees is June 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The minimum purchase requirements were not met during the current measurement period, and as a result, related party revenues and receivables for the year ended and as of December 31, 2023 include $20.1 million in Contract Shortfall Fees of which $10.0 million has been collected through March 11, 2024. The Company expects to receive the remaining $10.1 million on or before April 8, 2024. For 2024, the measurement period will be January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. If the minimum purchase requirements are not met during the year ended December 31, 2024, there will be additional Contract Shortfall Fees due during the first quarter of 2025.

Based upon the improvement in our outlook for future cash flows from operations that includes the collection of the Contract Shortfall Fees related to 2023 of $20.1 million, combined with cash on hand and availability under the ABL, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet its capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due in the next twelve months. However, the Company cannot guarantee a sufficient level of cash flows in the future. The Company had previously disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2022, that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern existed. As described, the Company

26

has concluded that those conditions and events raising the substantial doubt no longer exist. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

	Years ended December 31,
	2023		2022

Effect of changes in exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents	(54)		100
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(6,437)	$	(934)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $11.3 million and $44.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $24.7 million compared to a net loss of $42.3 million for the same period of 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, non-cash adjustments to net income totaled $22.8 million as compared to $12.8 million for the same period of December 31, 2022.

•For the year ended December 31, 2023, non-cash adjustments included a $30.0 million gain on the fair value valuation of the Contingent Convertible Notes, a gain of $4.5 million for the Flotek PPP loan forgiveness, paid-in-kind interest on the Convertible Notes Payable and Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable of $2.3 million, amortization of contract assets and convertible note issuance costs of $5.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and stock compensation expense of $0.3 million. The non-cash adjustment for the provision for excess and obsolete inventory was $1.0 million and depreciation was $0.7 million. Non-cash lease expense was $3.0 million primarily due to ROU Asset amortization for equipment leases which were added in 2022.

•For the year ended December 31, 2022, non-cash adjustments included paid-in-kind interest on the Convertible Notes Payable and Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable of $6.0 million, amortization of contract assets and convertible note issuance costs of $3.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and stock compensation expense of $3.3 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, changes in working capital used $13.2 million of cash as compared to using $15.2 million for the same period of 2022.

•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 ProFrac sales 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.

•For the year ended December 31, 2022, changes in working capital resulted primarily from increases in accounts receivable and inventories of $28.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively, due to the significant increase in revenues. Contract assets increased $3.6 million related to transaction fees paid associated with Contract Consideration Notes Payable. This was partially offset by an increase of accounts payable of $25.8 million, attributable to the increase in activity.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $1.0 million primarily due to system enhancements and capital additions. Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $5.3 million primarily related to the sale of assets.

27

Financing Activities

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 former CEO’s forfeited vested stock options, loan origination fees, and payments for shares withheld for taxes.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $38.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily from the proceeds of the issuance of convertible notes of $21.2 million and prefunded warrants of $19.5 million, partially offset by issuance costs of $2.3 million.

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, 2023 and 2022, the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory was $6.1 million and $8.2 million, or 32.3% and 34.3% 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.

Fair Value of Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable

The Company accounted for the Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable, which was issued related to obtaining the ProFrac Agreement, as liability classified convertible instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report). Under ASC 718, liability classified convertible instruments are measured at fair value at the grant date and at each reporting date with the change in fair value included in the consolidated statements of operations. At each reporting date preceding the date of maturity, the Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable were remeasured by means of a Monte Carlo simulation which utilized key inputs such as the risk-free interest rate, stock price, expected volatility and term until liquidation. Significant changes to the key inputs such as the Company’s stock price and volatility would impact the estimated fair value. The Contract Consideration Convertible Notes matured and were converted during the year ended December 31, 2023 in accordance with their terms.

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

28

The Company is primarily exposed to market risk from changes in 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 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 2023, approximately 0.24% 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. The Company has not historically used swaps or foreign currency hedges, however, the Company may utilize swaps or foreign currency hedges in the future.

Commodity Risk

The Company, and the CT segment in particular, primarily relies upon supply relationships to meet many of its raw material needs. 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.

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, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, 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, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, 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 Matters

The critical audit matters 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, during the year ended December 31, 2023. 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 $74.7 million as of December 31, 2023.

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. We assessed the reasonableness of forecasted revenue and costs by considering whether such amounts were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Going concern

As discussed in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company currently funds its operations with cash on hand, availability under the Asset Based Loan (ABL) and other liquid assets. Although the Company has a history of negative cash flows from operations and losses, the Company recognized $24.3 million and $24.7 million of gross profit and net income, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2023. The ProFrac Agreement contains minimum requirements for chemistry purchases. If the minimum volumes are not achieved within the applicable measurement period, ProFrac Services, LLC is required to pay to the Company, as liquidated damages (contract shortfall fees), an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the difference between (i) the aggregate purchase price of the quantity of products comprising the minimum purchase obligation and (ii) the actual purchased volume during the measurement period. The current measurement period for contract shortfall fees is June 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The minimum purchase requirements were not met during the current measurement period, and as a result, related party revenues and receivables for the year ended and as of December 31, 2023 include $20.1 million in contract shortfall fees of which $10.0 million has been collected through March 11, 2024. The Company expects to receive the remaining $10.1 million on or before April 8, 2024. For 2024, the measurement period will be January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. If the minimum purchase requirements are not met during the year ended December 31, 2024, there will be additional contract shortfall fees due during the first quarter of 2025. Based upon the improvement in the Company’s outlook for future cash flows from operations that includes the collection of the contract shortfall fees related to 2023 of $20.1 million, combined with cash on hand and availability under the ABL, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet its capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due in the next twelve months. Uncertainty surrounding the long term stability and strength of oil and gas markets could have a negative impact on the Company’s liquidity.

We identified the evaluation of the Company’s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern and related disclosures as a critical audit matter. There was significant auditor judgment required in evaluating forecasted revenue, including the contract shortfall fees, and direct and indirect product expenses used in the Company’s forecasted cash flows analysis for the twelve-month period subsequent to issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design of a control related to the Company’s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern, including the development of the forecasted revenue, including the contract shortfall fees, and direct and indirect product expenses over the twelve-month period following the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. To assess the Company’s ability to forecast revenue, including the contract shortfall fees, and direct and indirect product expenses, we compared historical revenue, including the contract shortfall fees, and direct and indirect product expense forecasts to actual results. We assessed the reasonableness of the Company’s assumptions related to forecasted revenue, including contract shortfall fees, and direct and indirect product expenses by considering whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. We assessed the Company’s disclosures related to its going concern assessment by comparing the disclosures to the audit evidence obtained.

FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Organization and Nature of Operations

General

Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek” or the “Company”) creates unique solutions to reduce the environmental impact of energy on air, water, land and people. A technology-driven, specialty green chemistry and data company, Flotek helps customers across industrial and commercial markets improve their environmental performance.

The Company’s Chemistry Technologies (“CT”) segment develops, manufactures, packages, distributes, delivers, and markets green specialty chemicals that aim to enhance the profitability of hydrocarbon producers.

The Company’s Data Analytics (“DA”) segment aims to enable users to maximize the value of their hydrocarbon associated processes by providing analytics associated with their hydrocarbon streams in seconds rather than minutes or days. The real-time access to information prevents waste, reduces reprocessing and allows users to pursue automation of their hydrocarbon streams to maximize their profitability.

The Company’s two operating segments, CT and DA, are supported by its Research & Innovation advanced laboratory capabilities. For further discussion of our operations and segments, see Note 18, “Business Segment, Geographic and Major Customer Information.”

Going Concern

The Company currently funds its operations with cash on hand, availability under the ABL (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”) and other liquid assets. Although the Company has a history of negative cash flows from operations and losses, the Company recognized $24.3 million and $24.7 million of gross profit and net income, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2023. While we believe that our cash, liquid assets, and availability under the ABL will provide us with sufficient financial resources to fund operations to meet our capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due, uncertainty surrounding the long term stability and strength of the oil and gas markets could have a negative impact on our liquidity.

As defined and discussed in Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable” and Note 17, “Related Party Transactions”, the ProFrac Agreement contains minimum requirements for chemistry purchases. If the minimum volumes are not achieved within the applicable measurement period, ProFrac Services LLC is required to pay to the Company, as liquidated damages (“Contract Shortfall Fees”), an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the difference between (i) the aggregate purchase price of the quantity of products comprising the minimum purchase obligation and (ii) the actual purchased volume during the measurement period. The current measurement period for Contract Shortfall Fees is June 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The minimum purchase requirements were not met during the current measurement period, and as a result, related party revenues and receivables for the year ended and as of December 31, 2023 include $20.1 million in Contract Shortfall Fees of which $10.0 million has been collected through March 11, 2024. The Company expects to receive the remaining $10.1 million on or before April 8, 2024. For 2024, the measurement period will be January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. If the minimum purchase requirements are not met during the year ended December 31, 2024, there will be additional Contract Shortfall Fees due during the first quarter of 2025.

Based upon the improvement in our outlook for future cash flows from operations that includes the collection of the Contract Shortfall Fees related to 2023 of $20.1 million, combined with cash on hand and availability under the ABL, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet its capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due in the next twelve months. However, the Company cannot guarantee a sufficient level of cash flows in the future. The Company had previously disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2022, that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern existed. As described, the Company has concluded that those conditions and events raising the substantial doubt no longer exist. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flotek Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries it controls. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not have investments in any unconsolidated subsidiaries.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Restricted Cash

The Company’s restricted cash is $0.1 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s restricted cash as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 consists of cash that the Company is contractually obligated to maintain in accordance with the terms of its credit card program with a financial institution.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), which requires the measurement of expected credit losses. The adoption of ASC 326 using a modified retrospective approach did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. ASC 326 requires estimated credit losses to be determined for the expected life of the asset compared to an incurred model which was in effect for periods prior to January 1, 2023.

Accounts receivable and accounts receivable, related party, arise from product sales and services and are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for credit losses. This value incorporates an allowance for credit losses to reflect any loss anticipated on accounts receivable balances. The Company applies the current expected credit loss (CECL) model, which requires immediate recognition of expected credit losses over the contractual life of receivables and records the appropriate allowance for credit losses as a charge to Operating Cost and Expenses. The allowance for credit losses is based on a combination of the individual customer circumstances, credit conditions, and historical write-offs and collections. The Company writes off specific accounts receivable when they are determined to be uncollectible. The recovery of accounts receivable previously written off is recorded as a reduction to the allowance for credit losses charged to operating expense.

The majority of the Company’s customers are engaged in the energy industry. The cyclical nature of the energy industry may affect customers’ operating performance and cash flows, which directly impact the Company’s ability to collect on outstanding obligations. Additionally, certain customers are located in international areas that are inherently subject to risks of economic, political, and civil instability, which can impact the collectability of receivables.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are as follows (in thousands):

	Years ended December 31,
	2023		2022
Balance, beginning of year	$	623	$	659
Charges to provision for credit losses, net of recoveries	138		203
Write-offs	(16)		(239)
Balance, end of year	$	745	$	623

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses for the related party accounts receivable, including ProFrac Services, LLC (see Note 17, “Related Party Transactions”).

Contract Assets

The Company’s contract assets represent consideration issued in the form of convertible notes (Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable as discussed in Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”) and other incremental costs related to obtaining the ProFrac Agreement (see Note 17, “Related Party Transactions”) during the year ended December 31, 2022. The contract assets are amortized over the term of the ProFrac Agreement (originally 10 years) based on forecasted revenues as goods are transferred to ProFrac Services, LLC and the amortization is presented as a reduction of the transaction price included in related party revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

The contract assets are tested for recoverability on a recurring basis and the Company will recognize an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the contract assets exceeds the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in the future for the transfer of goods under the ProFrac Agreement less the direct costs that relate to providing those goods in the future. Based on our tests of recoverability, we did not identify an impairment of the contract assets during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost determined using the weighted-average cost method, or net realizable value. Finished goods inventories include raw materials, direct labor and production overhead. The Company periodically reviews inventories on hand and current market conditions to determine if the cost of raw materials and finished goods inventories exceed current market prices and impairs the cost basis of the inventory accordingly. Obsolete inventory or inventory in excess of management’s estimated usage requirement is written down to its net realizable value if those amounts are determined to be less than cost. Write-downs or write-offs of inventory are charged to cost of sales.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment under finance leases are stated at the present value of the lease payments. The Company capitalizes costs associated with the acquisition of major software for internal use.

The cost of ordinary maintenance and repair is charged to operating expense, while replacement of critical components and major improvements are capitalized. Depreciation or amortization of property and equipment, including operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU”), is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life as follows:

Buildings and leasehold improvements	2-30 years
Machinery and equipment	7-10 years
Furniture and fixtures	3 years
Land improvements	20 years
Transportation equipment	2-5 years
Computer equipment and software	3-7 years

Property and equipment, including ROU assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company first compares the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the asset, the Company will determine the fair value of the asset or asset group. The amount of impairment loss recognized is the excess of the asset or asset group’s carrying amount over its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. There were no impairments of property and equipment, including ROU assets, during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Assets to be disposed of are reported as assets held for sale at the lower of the carrying amount or the asset’s fair value less cost to sell and depreciation is ceased. Upon sale or other disposition of an asset, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on disposal measured as the difference between the net carrying amount of the asset and the net proceeds received.

Leases

The Company leases certain facilities, land, vehicles, and equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is classified as a lease at inception of the arrangement. The Company recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the related lease. Finance leases are under the current and non-current liabilities and the underlying assets are included in property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. For operating and finance leases, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective-interest method.

As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, on a quarterly basis, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, together with the lease term information available at commencement date of the lease, in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease liabilities include the noncancellable period of the lease plus related options to extend or terminate lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments owed over the lease term.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet; and the lease expense on short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

39

FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company entered into a sublease for its former headquarters, which is being accounted for under lessor accounting. The nature of the sublease did not relieve the Company of its obligations under the original lease. The lease for the prior headquarters was an operating lease and, as such, the Company continues to account for the original lease as it did prior to entering the sublease. Since the former facility is not a component of the Company’s central operations, the income from the sublease and the expenses under the original lease are recorded in Other income, net on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Convertible Notes Payable and Liability Classified Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable

The Company accounts for the Convertible Notes Payable at amortized cost pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”).

The Company accounted for the Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable issued as consideration related to a related party contract (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”), as liability classified convertible instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, liability classified convertible instruments are measured at fair value at the grant date and at each reporting date (see Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements”) with the change in fair value included in the consolidated statements of operations. The Contract Consideration Notes Payable matured and were converted during the year ended December 31, 2023 in accordance with their terms (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable”).

Fair Value Measurements

The Company categorizes financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, based on the nature of the inputs used to determine fair value. Inputs refer broadly to assumptions that market participants would use to value an asset or liability and may be observable or unobservable. When determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, the Company uses the most reliable measurement available. See Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements.”

Revenue Recognition

The Company only has revenue from customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations under the terms of the contract with a customer, and control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer or services are performed, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company recognizes revenue based on a five-step model when all of the following criteria have been met: (i) a contract with a customer exists, (ii) performance obligations have been identified, (iii) the price to the customer has been determined, (iv) the price to the customer has been allocated to the performance obligations, and (v) performance obligations are satisfied.

Products and services are sold with fixed or determinable prices. Variable consideration is estimated for the Contract Shortfall Fees from the ProFrac Agreement (see Note 17, “Related Party Transactions”) using the most likely amount and the Company includes an estimated amount of variable consideration in the transaction price only if it is probable that a subsequent change in the estimate of the amount of variable consideration would not result in a significant revenue reversal. A significant revenue reversal would occur if a subsequent change in the estimate of the variable consideration would result in a significant downward adjustment to the amount of cumulative revenue recognized from that contract when the change in estimate occurs. Certain sales include right of return provisions, which are considered when recognizing revenue and deferred accordingly, and discounts offered to customers for prompt payment. The Company does not act as an agent in any of its revenue arrangements.

In recognizing revenue for products and services, the Company determines the transaction price of contracts with customers, which may consist of fixed and variable consideration. Determining the transaction price may require judgment by management, which includes identifying performance obligations, estimating variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and determining whether promised goods or services can be distinguished in the context of the contract. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed and unbilled accounts receivable included in accounts receivable, net and accounts receivable, related party on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The majority of the CT segment revenue is chemical products that are sold at a point in time based on when control transfers to the customer determined by agreed upon delivery terms. Contracts with customers for the sale of products generally state the terms of the sale, including the quantity and price of each product purchased. Additionally, the CT segment offers various services associated to products sold which includes field services, installation, maintenance, and other functions. These services are recognized upon completion of commissioning and installation due to the short-term nature of the performance obligation when the Company has a right to invoice the customer.

The DA segment recognizes revenue for sales of equipment at the time of sale based on when control transfers to the customer based on agreed upon delivery terms. Additionally, the Company offers various services associated to products sold which

40

FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

includes field services, installation, maintenance, and other functions. Services are recognized upon completion of commissioning and installation due to the short-term nature of the performance obligation. There may be additional performance obligations related to providing ongoing or reoccurring maintenance. Revenue for these types of arrangements is recognized ratably over time throughout the contract period. Additionally, the Company provides subscription-type arrangements with customers in which monthly reoccurring revenue is recognized ratably over time in accordance with agreed upon terms and conditions. Customers may be invoiced for such maintenance and subscription-type arrangements and revenue not yet recognizable is reported under accrued liabilities and deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Subscription-type arrangements were not a material revenue stream in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Payment terms for both the CT and DA segments are customarily 30-60 days for domestic and 90-120 days for international from invoice receipt. Under revenue contracts for both products and services, customers are invoiced once the performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Contract assets and liabilities associated with incomplete performance obligations are not material.

The Company applies several practical expedients including:

•Sales commissions are expensed as selling, general and administrative expenses when incurred because the amortization period is generally one year or less.

•The Company’s payment terms are short-term in nature with settlements of one year or less. As a result, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.

•In most service contracts, the Company has the right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance obligations completed to date and as such the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice.

•The Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer. Such taxes are included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet until remitted to the governmental agency.

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales in our consolidated statement of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional currency is primarily the U.S. dollar. The Company operates principally in the United States and substantially all assets and liabilities of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries that are not U.S. dollar functional currency are prepared using the currency of the primary economic environment of the foreign subsidiaries as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of those foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect as of the end of identified reporting periods. Revenue and expense transactions are translated using the average monthly exchange rate for the reporting period. Resultant translation adjustments are recognized as other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) encompasses all changes in stockholders’ equity, except those arising from investments and distributions to stockholders. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) includes consolidated net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Research and Development Costs

Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The establishment of a valuation allowance requires significant judgment and is impacted by various estimates.

41

FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense, related to stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, is recognized based on their grant-date fair values. The Company recognizes compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Estimated forfeitures are based on historical experience.

Stock Warrants

The Company evaluated the Pre-Funded Warrants issued in June 2022 (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) (see Note 13, “Stockholders’ Equity) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and determined that the warrants meet the criteria to be classified within stockholders’ equity and recorded the proceeds received for the Pre-Funded Warrants within additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company evaluated the Pre-Funded Warrants issued in February 2023 (the “February 2023 Warrants”) (see Note 9, “Debt and Convertible Notes Payable” and Note 13, “Stockholders’ Equity") to ProFrac Services, LLC upon conversion of the Convertible Notes Payable and Initial ProFrac Agreement Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable and determined the February 2023 Warrants meet the criteria to be classified within stockholders’ equity. The February 2023 Warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include estimated variable consideration included in contract transaction price; the useful lives of property and equipment; long lived asset impairment assessments; stock-based compensation expense; valuation allowances for accounts receivable, inventories, and deferred tax assets; recoverability and timing of the realization of contract assets; and the fair value of liability classified Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable until they were converted and equity classified Pre-Funded Warrants.

Reclassification

Certain items have been reclassified from prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the FASB. We evaluate the applicability and impact of all authoritative guidance issued by the FASB.

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This standard improves reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures around significant segment expenses. The amendments require interim and annual disclosures of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In addition, public entities are required to disclose the amount of “other segment items” by segment and their composition; annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit/loss and assets; clarify if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing performance and resource allocation and disclose the name and title of the CODM. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments are applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the ASU on the related disclosures.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). This amendment was created as a response to requests from investors, lenders, creditors and other parties to enhance transparency and effectiveness of tax disclosures to help them better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks affect an entity’s tax rate and potential future cash flows. ASU 2023-09 requires that entities annually disclose the amount of taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions and that those amounts are also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of funds received). ASU 2023-09 adds a requirement that entities disaggregate income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) between domestic and foreign. The amendments also require entities to disaggregate income tax expense (benefit) by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions.

The amendments under ASU 2023-09 also remove certain prior requirements. Public business entities are no longer required to disclose the nature and estimate of change in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months or make a statement that an estimate cannot be determined. In addition public business entities are no longer required to disclose the cumulative amount of each type of temporary difference for which a deferred tax liability has not been recognized due to the exception to recognizing deferred taxes related to subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures. ASU 2023-09 goes into effect for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements not yet issued or made available for issuance. Adoption of the ASU is on a prospective basis, with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the ASU on the related disclosures.
