Strong Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin of 40.8% in Q1 2026, maintaining industry-leading profitability despite incremental corporate costs.
Revenue Growth

Valiant Acquisition and Synergies
Closed acquisition of Valiant Artificial Lift Solutions for ~ $200 million (Mar 2). Integration off to a strong start, Valiant performed slightly ahead of expectations in March and is expected to generate approximately $52 million of adjusted EBITDA for full-year 2026; early synergies include use of Flowco's in-house ESP cable installation and data-driven cross-selling using Valiant's Optimus monitoring platform.

Capital Deployment and ROCE
Invested $26 million of growth capital in Q1 to expand the rental fleet; annualized adjusted return on capital employed was ~18% for the quarter. Company reiterated capital pacing discipline with a pre-Valiant CapEx outlook of ~$115 million and incremental Valiant CapEx of $20–25 million for the year.
Positive Near-Term Outlook
Guidance for Q2 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $93–97 million, reflecting a full quarter contribution from Valiant and anticipated continued growth across surface equipment and vapor recovery rentals.
