Full Year 2024 Profitability Outlook
As a result of the numerous cost reductions and efficiency gains implemented throughout 2023, the Company expects a substantial increase in margins compared to 2023. In 2023, our gross margin was 13% and our net income was $24.7 million. Flotek expects 2024 adjusted gross profit margin(2) to range between 18% and 22%, as compared to 2023 adjusted gross profit margin(1) of 15%. The Company expects 2024 adjusted EBITDA(2) to range between $10 million and $16 million as compared to $1.5 million in 2023(1).
Management Commentary
Chief Executive Officer Dr. Ryan Ezell commented, "Our first quarter results continue the positive financial and operational trends that began during 2022. We achieved our third consecutive quarter of net income. Adjusted EBITDA(1) during the quarter exceeded the entire year of 2023. Using the mid-point of our guidance, we expect a nearly 800% increase in annual adjusted EBITDA(2) versus 2023(1).
During the quarter we realized 19% sequential growth in our ProFrac related revenue while our data analytics segment revenues increased 18% from the fourth quarter of 2023. While our first quarter external chemistry customer sales realized 27% year over year growth, they declined sequentially, which is consistent with the first quarter in each of the last three years. We expect these revenues will show a substantial increase during the second quarter and we anticipate annual growth in external chemistry customer sales for 2024.
Our numerous financial improvements continue to validate the initiatives executed over the past 18 months aimed at building a resilient business that can sustain profitability through the volatility inherent in our industry."
First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
- Revenue: Flotek reported total revenues of $40.4 million for the first quarter 2024, which was a decrease of $7.6 million, or 16%, compared to total revenues of $48.0 million for the first quarter 2023. The decline in revenue compared to the first quarter 2023 was the result of lower related party activity that was partially offset by a 13% increase in revenue from external customers.
Revenue from external chemistry customers during the first quarter 2024 declined by approximately $6.0 million as compared to the fourth quarter 2023 due primarily to normal seasonal declines. The Company anticipates external chemistry customer revenues to increase significantly in the second quarter 2024.
Revenue associated with the Company's data analytics segment increased to $1.7 million, an 18% improvement as compared to the fourth quarter 2023. Revenues from data analytics totaled $2.5 million during the first quarter 2023. - Gross Profit: The Company generated gross profit of $8.8 million during the first quarter 2024 as compared to gross profit of $1.9 million for the first quarter 2023. The improvement in first quarter 2024 gross profit was the result of successful initiatives to drive cost improvements with respect to freight, logistics and materials, and revenue attributable to the estimated annual minimum chemistry purchase requirements contained in the ProFrac supply agreement. The measurement period during 2023 for annual minimum chemistry purchase requirements was June 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.
- Adjusted Gross Profit (Non-GAAP)(1): Flotek generated adjusted gross profit of $10.1 million during the first quarter 2024 compared to adjusted gross profit of $2.6 million for the first 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 $6.1 million for the first quarter 2024 compared to $6.5 million for the first quarter 2023. The improvement was the result of lower personnel costs and professional fees during the 2024 period.
- Net Income and EPS: Flotek reported net income of $1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2024. This compares to net income of $21.3 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, for the first quarter 2023. Net income for the first quarter 2023 benefited from a $26.1 million non-cash gain related to the fair value adjustment of the Company's convertible notes, as well as a $4.5 million gain from the partial forgiveness of the Company's PPP loan.
- Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)(1): Adjusted EBITDA was $4.0 million in the first quarter 2024 as compared to negative $3.9 million in the first quarter 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. |

(1) Management believes that adjusted gross profit, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024, 2023, and 12 months ended December 31, 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. | ||||||
