Third Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Generated total revenue of $49.7 million, a 5% increase from the third quarter of 2023, highlighted by a 58% year-over-year increase in Data Analytics revenues.
  • Reduced SG&A by 12% from the third quarter of 2023 and by 9% sequentially from the second quarter of 2024.
  • Reported net income of $2.5 million and adjusted EBITDA(1) of $4.8 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 97% and 43%, respectively.
  • Reduced borrowings outstanding under the Asset Based Loan by 81% (or $6.1 million) compared to year-end 2023.

2024 Guidance: Stronger Profit Expectations

Based upon the Company's strong year-to-date operational performance and the outlook for the fourth quarter, the Company is increasing its 2024 guidance. Flotek now expects adjusted EBITDA(2) to be in the range of $16.5 million to $18.5 million, up from the previous range of $14 million to $18 million. This represents a 9% increase to the midpoint of the range and a 35% increase when compared to the midpoint of the Company's original 2024 guidance of $10 million to $16 million. In addition, the Company now expects its adjusted gross profit margin(2) for 2024 to be in the range of 20% to 22%, up from the original guidance of 18% to 22%.        

Management Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Dr. Ryan Ezell commented, "We are pleased to report another quarter of outstanding safety, service quality and financial results. We continue to gain momentum and market share with the execution of our strategy, despite a challenging upstream market. Revenue from our Data Analytics segment grew 30% in the third quarter, a continuation of the strong growth of 22% in the second quarter. Our new upstream Data Analytics' applications, including flare monitoring, were a catalyst for revenue growth this quarter.  Following the EPA's approval of our JP3 analyzer in mid-July, we recognized our first revenues from flare monitoring in August and September, which comprised 25% of total quarterly segment revenues. We expect to see further growth in flare monitoring revenues during the fourth quarter. Revenue from our chemistry segment increased 7% in the third quarter, a continuation of the growth in the prior quarter. Our persistent revenue growth in our chemistry segment, despite a declining frac fleet market, is clear evidence that we are gaining market share through our differentiated chemistry technology solutions. 

In terms of profitability, adjusted EBITDA during the third quarter improved for the eighth consecutive quarter and, as a result, we are increasing our adjusted EBITDA guidance for the second time this year.  Over the first nine months of 2024, we reported adjusted EBITDA of $13.3 million, as compared to ($2.5) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This $15.8 million improvement reflects the continued positive trajectory of the Company and the hard work and dedication  of the Flotek employees."   

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

  • Revenue: Flotek reported total revenues of $49.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, which was an increase of $2.5 million, or 5% compared to the third quarter of 2023. Third quarter revenue increased 8% sequentially driven by a 7% sequential increase in Chemistry revenues and a 30% sequential increase in Data Analytics' revenue. Data Analytics segment revenue totaled $2.7 million during the third quarter of 2024, of which 25% was attributed to Flotek's new proprietary flare measurement application.
  • Gross Profit: The Company generated gross profit of $9.1 million with a margin of 18% during the third quarter 2024, as compared to gross profit of $9.0 million with a margin of 19% for the third quarter 2023. Gross profit margin during the third quarter of 2024 was lower than the 2023 period as a result of a shift in chemistry product mix as well as lower revenue during the 2024 period related to the minimum chemistry purchase requirements contained in the Company's long-term supply agreement. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in gross profit from the Company's Data Analytics segment, which contributed $1.2 million to third quarter 2024 gross profit, a 46% increase from the year ago quarter.
  • Adjusted Gross Profit (Non-GAAP)(1): Flotek generated adjusted gross profit of $10.7 million during the third quarter 2024 compared to adjusted gross profit of $10.3 million for the third quarter 2023. Adjusted gross profit excludes non-cash items, primarily amortization of contract assets.
  • Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expense: SG&A expense totaled $5.7 million for the third quarter 2024 compared to $6.5 million for the third quarter 2023. The improvement was the result of lower personnel costs and professional fee expenses during the 2024 period.
  • Net Income and EPS: Flotek reported net income of $2.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2024. This compares to a net income of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)(1): Adjusted EBITDA was $4.8 million in the third quarter 2024 as compared to $3.4 million in the third quarter 2023. Third quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA marked the eighth consecutive quarter of improvement.

We are unable to reconcile this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts, as we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the impact of certain items that would be expected to impact the GAAP financial measure, including, among other items, the future amortization of our contract assets, certain stock-based compensation costs and the impact of the revaluation of certain liabilities, which is based upon our future stock price. These items do not impact the non-GAAP financial measure.

Management believes that adjusted gross profit, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, are useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods.  Management views the income and expenses noted above to be outside of the Company's normal operating results.  Management analyzes operating results without the impact of the above items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business and cash flow from continuing operations, and to establish financial and operational goals, excluding certain non-cash or non-recurring items.
