Second Quarter 2024 and Recent Highlights
- Generated total revenue of $46.2 million, a 14% increase from the first quarter of 2024, driven by a 40% sequential increase in chemistry revenues from external customers and a 22% sequential increase in Data Analytics revenue.
- Increased gross profit margin and adjusted gross profit margin(1) to 20% and 23%, respectively, as compared to 8% and 10% respectively, during the second quarter 2023.
- Reported net income of $2.0 million compared to a net loss of $21 thousand for the second quarter of 2023 and delivered a year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA(1) of $6.4 million.
- Amended Asset Based Loan agreement increases loan commitment by 45% to $20 million and reduces interest rate.
- Received approval from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the JP3 analyzer system for use in flare emission monitoring, facilitating access to a new upstream market application with an estimated annual total addressable market of $220 million.
2024 Guidance: Stronger Profitability Expectations
As a result of the Company’s strong operational performance during the first half of 2024 and the outlook for the balance of the year, the Company is raising its 2024 profitability guidance. Flotek now expects adjusted EBITDA(2) to be in a range of between $14 million and $18 million, a 23% increase to the midpoint of the range when compared to the prior guidance range of between $10 million and $16 million.
Asset Based Loan Amendment: Increased Credit Capacity with Lower Interest Rate
On August 5, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to its Asset Based Loan agreement. In connection with the amendment, the loan commitment increased by 45% from $13.8 million to $20 million, the applicable interest rate spread decreased by 0.50% and the term of the loan was extended by one year to August 2026. These enhancements to the loan agreement further validate the Company’s continuing operational and financial improvements.
Data Analytics: Access to New Upstream Flare Market
On July 16, 2024, Flotek announced that the EPA designated the JP3 system as an approved measurement technology with respect to recently enacted flare regulations. This state-of-the-art optical instrument, designed for the precise measurement of net heating values (NHV) in flare gases, is the first to be approved as an alternative method under the new NSPS OOOOb regulations, supporting cleaner and more efficient operations across the oil and gas industry.
With over 55,000 existing flares in the United States expected to be subject to some level of monitoring regulation by 2028, this approval is expected to position JP3 to significantly expand its footprint into this new upstream market space.
Management Commentary
Chief Executive Officer Dr. Ryan Ezell commented, “Despite a backdrop of slower North American activity in our industry, our ability to grow revenue 14% this quarter speaks to the execution of our strategy and the continued progress we are making in gaining market share. Second quarter revenue from external customers increased significantly following the seasonality we experienced in the first quarter. Our Data Analytics segment increased revenue 22% from the first quarter 2024 as we saw a sequential improvement in analyzer sales. Most importantly, we received notification from the EPA that our JP3 analyzer was an approved technology for flare gas monitoring, which we believe will be a catalyst for revenue growth later this year and into 2025.
Based on our performance through mid-year, I am excited to share that we are raising the mid-point of our adjusted EBITDA(2) guidance for 2024 to $16 million, which would represent more than a 900% improvement from 2023. This is a testament to Flotek’s differentiated technology solutions in a competitive market as the industry navigates through this current natural gas price environment. Lastly, our success in significantly increasing our ABL credit capacity at a lower interest rate will provide incremental liquidity to support our continued growth.”
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
- Revenue: Flotek reported total revenues of $46.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, which was an increase of $5.8 million, or 14% compared to total revenues in the first quarter of 2024. Quarterly revenue growth was driven by a 40% sequential increase in chemistry revenue from external customers, highlighting the Company’s continued market share improvement when considering the decline of 23 active frac fleets from the end of the first quarter of 2024(3). Revenue from the Data Analytics segment totaled $2 million during the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $1.7 million during the first quarter of 2024.
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were down $4.4 million, or 9%, compared to total revenues of $50.6 million for the second quarter 2023. The decline in total revenue compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to reduced related party activity as a result of lower natural gas prices. Chemistry revenues from external customers during the second quarter 2024 were 6% higher than the second quarter 2023.
- Gross Profit: The Company generated gross profit of $9.2 million during the second quarter 2024 as compared to gross profit of $3.9 million for the second quarter 2023. The improvement was the result of increased revenue attributable to the estimated annual minimum chemistry purchase requirement in the ProFrac supply agreement. The measurement period during 2023 for minimum chemistry purchase requirements was June 1 through December 31, 2023 compared to January 1 through December 31, 2024 during 2024.
- Adjusted Gross Profit (Non-GAAP)(1): Flotek generated adjusted gross profit of $10.7 million during the second quarter 2024 compared to adjusted gross profit of $5.1 million for the second 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 $6.3 million for the second quarter 2024 compared to $8.4 million for the second quarter 2023. The improvement was the result of lower personnel costs and professional fees during the 2024 period.
- Severance Costs: Flotek recorded a $2.3 million credit to severance costs in the second quarter of 2023 in connection with the settlement of certain litigation.
- Net Income and EPS: Flotek reported net income of $2.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2024. This compares to a net loss of $21 thousand, or $(0.11) per diluted share, for the second quarter 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)(1): Adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 million in the second quarter 2024 as compared to negative $2.0 million in the second quarter 2023. Adjusted EBITDA improved by 10% from the first quarter of 2024, marking seven consecutive quarters of improvement.

Management believes that adjusted gross profit, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 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. |
