HOUSTON, March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Flotek Industries, Inc. ("Flotek" or the "Company") (NYSE: FTK) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2021.

"In 2021 we focused on strengthening the fundamentals of our business to emerge as a stronger organization primed for metamorphic opportunities in 2022 and beyond. I am extremely proud of our progress building collaborative partnerships to enhance the energy industry's delivery of responsible energy production through our sustainable chemistry technology and digital analytics solutions. This focus resulted in a long-term contract, subject to shareholder approval, valued at over $2B in revenues over the next decade with a leader in North American hydraulic fracturing services, ProFrac. Our flawless execution culture contributed to our success in achieving a zero total recordable incident rate (TRIR) and zero non-productive time (NPT) for our customers," said John W. Gibson, Jr., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

"Flotek now stands as an operationally efficient organization positioned for profitable, long-term growth with a team poised to execute on our mission of delivering solutions that reduce the environmental impact of energy on air, water, land and people."

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2021 Financial Results 

Fourth Quarter 2021

  • Consolidated Revenues: Flotek generated fourth quarter 2021 consolidated revenue of $12.2 million, up 20% from $10.2 million in the third quarter, and generally flat compared to $12.1 million in the fourth quarter 2020. The sequential improvement was driven by increased activity with domestic and international energy chemistry customers.
  • Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold: In 2021, the company changed its presentation of the Consolidated Statement of Operations to better differentiate costs of goods sold from other operational costs. Segment sales, marketing and research and development costs are now included in selling, general and administrative expenses discussed below. Cost of goods sold ("COGS") for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $13.1 million versus $4.0 million for the third quarter 2021 and $23.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in costs between third and fourth quarter 2021 is affected by the net impact of a $7.6 million release of terpene purchase commitment in the third quarter. Year-over-year fourth quarter costs are down as 2020 included a $9.4 million accrual for the terpene purchase commitment.
  • Selling, General & Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $5.8 million compared to $4.1 million in the third quarter, and $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Fourth quarter 2021 expenses were higher by $0.8 million in costs associated with the restructuring of the sales force supporting chemistry technology as well as certain severance and performance compensation charges. Additionally, third quarter 2021 expenses were benefited by one-time employee retention credits of approximately $0.9 million.
  • Net Income/Loss: The Company recorded a net loss of $16.2 million in the fourth quarter 2021 and a net income of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 which represents a loss of $0.22 per basic/diluted share and an income of $0.01 per basic/diluted share, respectively. The company recognized a net loss of $17.7 million, or a loss of $0.30 per basic/diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2020. The change in sequential results is primarily impacted by an $8.1 million goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter and a $7.6 million release of terpene purchase commitments in third quarter 2021. Year-over-year results reflect the effect of $9.4 million in terpene expense reserve included in 2020 results in conjunction with the current year goodwill impairment.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2021 was a loss of $5.7 million, an 10% improvement from the third quarter 2021 loss of $6.3 million, and a 16% improvement from the fourth quarter 2020 loss of $6.8 million. Chemistry Technology contributed $1.1 million in sequential improvement which was partially offset by losses in the Data Analytics segment and slight increases in R&D spending. Year-over-year results were impacted by chemistry technology earnings and reductions in compensation costs totaling $1.6 million and partially offset by losses in the Data Analytics segment.

FY 2021

  • For the full-year 2021, Flotek generated revenue of $43.3 million, which is a decrease of 19% from full year 2020 consolidated revenues of $53.1 million. The decrease in revenue is primarily driven by the loss of revenue associated with M&A activity impacting two significant energy chemistry customers as well as a $3.5 million reduction in terpene sales.
  • Full-year 2021 COGS were $40 million which is a 51% decline from the previous year. The decline includes the net impact of $19 million related to the terpene purchase commitment in 2020 and release of an associated liability of $7.6 million in 2021. 2020 COGS also included $9.6 million in aggregate product rationalization expense. Further, the 2021 COGS reflects a decline in revenue and continued cost savings initiatives primarily in facilities and personnel costs.
  • Full-year SG&A expenses for 2021 were $20.2 million which is an 11% improvement from the prior year. The year-over-year reduction is primarily attributable to reductions in compensation costs and are partially offset by an increase in non-recurring legal fees related to litigation and investigations.
  • Net loss improved by $105.9 million, or 78% for the year ended December 31, 2021, versus the same period in 2020. The improvement is primarily a result of reductions of expenses for SG&A, lower research and development, and personnel costs and lower impairment charges for 2021. Previously recorded impairments in 2020 totaled $81.7 million versus the $8.1 million goodwill impairment in 2021.
  • Full-year 2021 adjusted EBITDA loss was $25.1 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $26.2 million for the full-year 2020.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and equivalents of $11.5 million which were impacted by operating losses during the year. Flotek also had $4.8 million in Payroll Protection Program loans outstanding. The Company has applied for forgiveness for its PPP loans and has received an extension of the loan maturity date from April 15, 2022 to April 5, 2025, reducing the current portion of long term debt from $4.8 million to $1.4 million as of December 31, 2021.

Chemistry Technologies Segment

Fourth quarter 2021 sales revenues for Chemistry Technologies were $11.6 million, representing a 23% increase from the third quarter 2021 and a 7% increase from the fourth quarter of 2020. Chemistry Technologies recognized full-year 2021 revenues of $38.9 million which is a 23% decrease in year-over-year activity. The decrease is primarily the result of the loss of revenue associated with two major energy customers during the second quarter of 2021 as a result of market consolidation in the Permian Basin.

Highlights from the quarter include:

  • Energy Chemistry revenue improved 32% quarter on quarter, outpacing the market and indicating market share growth.
  • Energy Chemistry revenue generated from domestic accounts grew 34%, while international accounts grew by 24% quarter on quarter, demonstrating the continued emphasis on improving customer concentration and revenue diversification.

Data Analytics Segment

Data Analytics recognized fourth quarter 2021 sales revenue of $0.6 million which is a 27% decrease from the third quarter 2021 and a 53% decline from fourth quarter 2020. In the fourth quarter, the company impaired the remaining $8.1 million in remaining goodwill for the segment.

Highlights include:

  • Appointed James A. Silas, Ph.D. as interim President of Data Analytics, effective December 09, 2021. Mr. Silas also retains his previous role as Senior Vice President of Research & Innovation.
  • Developed a new line of Verax analyzers for the international market and obtained the necessary certifications for usage in hazardous locations internationally.
  • Launched the Advanced Interface Detection Algorithm system, or AIDA, a new patent-pending application that uses advanced machine learning algorithms to enable pipeline operators to cut batches using real time detection of batch interfaces without the need for additional sampling or chemometric modeling.

Conference Call Details

Flotek will host a conference call on Thursday, March 31, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. CST (10:00 a.m. EST) to discuss its fourth quarter results for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

(1) Management believes that adjusted EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the three months ended September 30, 2021, is useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods.  Management views the expenses noted above to be outside of the Company's normal operating results.  Management analyses 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 operational goals.
