Highlights

  • In April 2025, we acquired 30 real-time gas monitoring and dual fuel optimization assets for mobile power generation (22 in-service and 8 under construction, expected by year-end) and related Intellectual Property and executed a $160 million multi-year contract.
  • First quarter 2025 results represented the fifth consecutive quarter of growth in revenue, gross profit, net income and adjusted EBITDA (1).
  • Total revenue rose 37% vs. first quarter 2024, as a result of an 88% increase in external chemistry revenue and a 57% increase in Data Analytics revenue.
  • Gross profit climbed 41% vs. first quarter 2024, with first quarter 2025 gross profit margin rising to 23%.
  • Net income was $5.4 million and adjusted EBITDA(1) totaled $7.8 million, up 244% and 93%, respectively, vs. first quarter 2024.

2025 Outlook

In 2024, our total revenue was $187.0 million, our net income was $10.5 million and our adjusted EBITDA(1)was $20.3 million. As a result of our continued growth during the first quarter of 2025 and the impact of our recently announced acquisition of mobile power generation assets and subsequent long-term lease, Flotek expects increased revenues and profitability in 2025, as compared to 2024, and initiates the following 2025 guidance metrics:

  • Total Revenue between $200 million and $220 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA(2) between $34 million and $39 million

The mid-points of the ranges above represent increases of 12% and 80%, as compared to the respective metrics in 2024.

Management Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Dr. Ryan Ezell commented, "The first quarter of 2025 marks another significant step in the execution of our corporate strategy towards the convergence of innovative Data and Chemistry solutions that deliver unprecedented value to our customers and external stakeholders. We have now grown revenue, net income and adjusted EBITDA in five consecutive quarters. Combining these outstanding results with our recently announced transformative expansion into enhanced real-time data monitoring and gas conditioning in the mobile power generation sector, positions Flotek to deliver an exceptionally strong 2025 and beyond for its shareholders.

Looking ahead, Flotek will continue to advance technologies that empower our customers' assets to maximize returns, reduce costs, automate processes, and utilize data in ways previously unimaginable. Our relentless pursuit to leverage chemistry as the common value creation platform will position Flotek as a leader in differentiated technologies and foster our future growth."

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, 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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the twelve months ended December 31,2024 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.
