Third Quarter 2023 Highlights
- Reported net income of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $18.8 million or ($1.50) per diluted share for the third quarter of 2022.
- Achieved positive adjusted EBITDA(1) of $3.4 million, an increase of $11.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2022. This is the ninth consecutive quarter of improvement and marks the first quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA since the third quarter of 2018.
- Reported gross profit of $9.0 million and adjusted gross profit(1) of $10.3 million marking the third consecutive quarter of positive results in both metrics. Gross profit margin and adjusted gross profit margin(1) for the third quarter of 2023 improved to 19% and 22%, respectively.
- Strengthened liquidity through an Asset Based Loan, which was increased from $10.0 million to $13.8 million in October.
- Solidified the senior leadership team with the addition of four key members that bring substantial experience and strategic focus on sales, supply chain, people and data analytics.
- Completed move to new company headquarters, which is expected to result in annual savings of approximately $1 million.

Full Year 2023 Outlook
Flotek is updating its full year 2023 guidance as follows:
- Adjusted gross profit margin(2) is expected to increase to 12% to 14%, up from the previous range of 8% to 10%.
- Total revenues are expected to be $185 million to $200 million, compared to a previous estimate of $210 million to $230 million. The decrease in revenue guidance is due to an overall market slowdown in upstream onshore activity as reflected by the reduction in drilling rigs and completion fleets operating. Specifically, the U.S. land rig count is down 19% and frac fleet activity is down 12% from the third quarter of 2022. Despite this market slowdown, the Company's non-ProFrac chemistry revenues have grown each quarter in 2023 and increased another 5% during the third quarter of 2023.
(2) | A non-GAAP financial measure. See the "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Items and Non-Cash Items Impacting Earnings" section in this release for more information, including reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures. 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 Commentary
Chief Executive Officer Dr. Ryan Ezell commented, "I'm pleased with our third quarter results as we delivered significant improvement in nearly all financial metrics highlighted by quarterly adjusted EBITDA turning positive for the first time in five years. These results build upon the strong financial and operational momentum we have established this year through the execution of our strategy to be the collaborative partner of choice for innovative chemical and data solutions. We also achieved a significant milestone with the closing of an Asset Based Loan that augments our liquidity and supports our future business and growth objectives. Most importantly, we executed these milestones with no recordable safety incidents in the field of operations."
"We continue to expand our market share and margins despite industry headwinds as the importance of maximized production and rate-of-return for each well completion moves to the forefront of focus for operators. This plays to the strength of Flotek's differentiated technologies that target improved recovery from each reservoir."
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
- Revenue: Flotek reported total revenues of $47.3 million for the third quarter of 2023, which was an increase of 4% compared to total revenues of $45.6 million for the third quarter of 2022. The Company's non-ProFrac chemistry revenues have grown each quarter in 2023 and increased 23% as compared to the year ago quarter. Revenues not attributable to ProFrac comprised 38% of total company revenues during the third quarter of 2023.
The Company's supply agreement with ProFrac contains minimum requirements for annual chemistry purchases. If the minimum contractual requirements are not met, the Company receives additional payments from ProFrac at the conclusion of the measurement period, which is currently June 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Based on recent activity, Flotek does not expect that the chemistry purchase requirements will be met during the measurement period, and as a result, third quarter and nine-month 2023 revenues include estimated expected additional payments from ProFrac under the contract. - Gross Profit (Loss): The Company generated gross profit of $9.0 million during the third quarter of 2023 as compared to a gross loss of $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2022. The improvement in third quarter of 2023 gross profit was the result of the estimated additional payments expected from ProFrac related to the minimum chemistry purchase requirements discussed above as well as the increase in transactional chemistry revenue during the quarter and continued initiatives to drive further cost improvements with respect to freight logistics and materials.
- Adjusted Gross Profit (Non-GAAP)(1): Flotek generated adjusted gross profit of $10.3 million during the third quarter of 2023 compared to adjusted gross profit of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased to $18.0 million as compared to a loss of $0.9 million for the nine-month period of 2022. Adjusted gross profit primarily excludes non-cash items, including amortization of contract assets, which reduces both revenue and gross profit.
- Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expense: SG&A expense totaled $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2022. The 30% reduction in SG&A compared to the third quarter of 2022 was primarily the result of lower employee compensation expense as well as reduced legal and professional fees.
- Net Income (Loss) and EPS: Flotek reported net income of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023. This compares to a net loss of $18.8 million, or ($1.50) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022. Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $22.6 million as compared to a net loss of $23.3 million for the comparable period of 2022. Net income/(loss) for the third quarter of 2022 and nine-month periods of 2023 and 2022 included non-cash gains/(losses) on the fair value measurement of convertible notes payable totaling ($4.3) million, $30.0 million, and $9.0 million, respectively.
- Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)(1): Adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to negative $8.4 million in the third quarter of 2022.
