FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 — Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek” or the “Company”) is a global, diversified, technology-driven company that develops and supplies chemistries and services to the oil and gas industries, and high value compounds to companies that make food and beverages, cleaning products, cosmetics, and other products that are sold in consumer and industrial markets.
The Company’s oilfield business includes specialty chemistries and logistics which enable its customers to pursue improved efficiencies and performance in the drilling and completion of their wells. The Company also provides automated bulk material handling, loading facilities, and blending capabilities. The Company processes citrus oil to produce (1) high value compounds used as additives by companies in the flavors and fragrances markets and (2) environmentally friendly chemistries for use in numerous industries around the world, including the oil and gas (“O&G”) industry.
Flotek operates in over 20 domestic and international markets. Customers include major integrated O&G companies, oilfield services companies, independent O&G companies, pressure-pumping service companies, national and state-owned oil companies, and international supply chain management companies. The Company also serves customers who purchase non-energy-related citrus oil and related products, including household and commercial cleaning product companies, fragrance and cosmetic companies, and food manufacturing companies.
Flotek was initially incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on May 17, 1985. On October 23, 2001, Flotek changed its corporate domicile to the state of Delaware.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying footnotes (collectively the “Financial Statements”) reflect all adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The Financial Statements, including selected notes, have been prepared in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and do not include all information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for comprehensive financial statement reporting. These interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (“Annual Report”). A copy of the Annual Report is available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, under the Company’s ticker symbol (“FTK”) or on Flotek’s website, www.flotekind.com. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company classified the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments as held for sale based on management’s intention to sell these businesses. The Company’s historical financial statements have been revised to present the operating results of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments as discontinued operations. The results of operations of Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies are presented as “Loss from discontinued operations” in the statement of operations and the related cash flows of these segments have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments were reclassified to “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale,” respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets through September 2017.
During 2017, the Company completed the sale or disposal of the assets and transfer or liquidation of liabilities and obligations of each of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Refer to Note 5 — “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for further discussion on Revenue.
The Company recognizes revenue based on the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 five-step model when all of the following criteria have been met: (i) a contract with a customer exists, (ii) performance obligations have been identified, (iii) the price to the customer has been determined, (iv) the price to the customer has been allocated to the performance obligations, and (v) performance obligations are satisfied.

FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Products and services are sold with fixed or determinable prices. Certain sales include right of return provisions, which are considered when recognizing revenue and deferred accordingly. Deposits and other funds received in advance of delivery are deferred until the transfer of control is complete.
For certain contracts, the Company recognizes revenue under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, measured by the percentage of “costs incurred to date” to the “total estimated costs of completion.” This percentage is applied to the “total estimated revenue at completion” to calculate proportionate revenue earned to date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the percentage-of-completion revenue accounted for less than 0.1% of total revenue during the respective time periods. This resulted in immaterial unfulfilled performance obligations and immaterial contract assets and/or liabilities for which the Company did not record adjustments to opening retained earnings as of December 31, 2015 or for any periods previously presented.
As an accounting policy election, the Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer.
Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of revenues.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassifications did not impact net loss.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This standard supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 and establishes a new revenue standard, ASC 606. This new standard requires entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity’s nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the full retrospective method. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 5 — “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for further information surrounding adoption of this new standard.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This standard addressed eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. Implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company applied this standard prospectively, where applicable, as there were no historical transactions affected by this implementation.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting guidance in ASU No. 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” This standard provided additional guidance on whether an integrated set of assets and activities constitutes a business. Implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company applied this standard prospectively and, therefore, prior periods were not adjusted. In addition, the Company had no activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 that was required to be treated differently under this ASU than previously issued guidance.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting guidance in ASU No. 2017-09, “Scope of Modification Accounting.” This standard provided guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. Implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company applied this standard prospectively and, therefore, prior periods presented were not adjusted. There were no changes to the terms or conditions of current share-based payment awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
New Accounting Requirements and Disclosures
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.” This standard requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period and should be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach, with early application permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10 and ASU No. 2018-11, which provide codification and targeted improvements to the original guidance issued, as well as modifies the transition methods available upon adoption. The Company intends to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2019 and intends to elect the available practical expedients upon adoption. The Company is currently evaluating all potential leases, assessing system readiness, including software procured from third-party providers, and completing an analysis of information necessary to restate prior period consolidated financial statements, if applicable. The Company anticipates this standard will have a significant impact on the consolidated balance sheets. However, the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact the pronouncement will have on the related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This standard allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted in any interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This standard expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This standard removes, modifies, and adds additional requirements for disclosures related to fair value measurement in ASC 820. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted in any interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3 — Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company initiated a strategic restructuring of its business to enable a greater focus on its core businesses in energy chemistry and consumer and industrial chemistry. The Company executed a plan to sell or otherwise dispose of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments. An investment banking advisory services firm was engaged and actively marketed these segments.
Disposal of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies reporting segments represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The Company met all of the criteria to classify the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments’ assets and liabilities as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016. Effective

At December 31, 2017, all remaining assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations were assumed by the Company’s continuing operations. These balances included $0.3 million of net accounts receivable, $1.4 million of sales price hold-back that will be received during 2018, and $1.4 million of accrued liabilities to be settled in 2018.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Note 4 — Assets Held for Sale
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company committed to a plan to divest the revenue generating assets associated with the Dalton, Georgia facility within the Energy Chemistry Technologies segment. The Company determined that the divestiture of this business line did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations presentation, as the commitment to divest this business line does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its operations and financial results. These assets were available for immediate sale in their present condition, subject to only usual and customary terms. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, a loss on write-down of assets held for sale of $2.6 million was recorded to state the assets at fair value less costs to sell.
The assets classified as held for sale at December 31, 2017 is as follows (in thousands):

On September 10, 2018, the Company completed the sale of the assets of the Dalton, Georgia facility to T&L Properties of Dalton, LLC for $1.8 million in cash consideration. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of the business of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Note 5 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the full retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of December 31, 2015. As a result of electing the full retrospective adoption approach, results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2015 are presented under ASC 606.
There was no material impact upon the adoption of ASC 606. As revenue is primarily related to product sales accounted for at a point in time and service contracts that are primarily short-term in nature (typically less than 30 days), the Company did not record any adjustments to opening retained earnings at December 31, 2015 or for any periods previously presented.
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In recognizing revenue for products and services, the Company determines the transaction price of purchase orders or contracts with customers, which may consist of fixed and variable consideration. Determining the transaction price may require significant judgment by management, which includes identifying performance obligations, estimating variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and determining whether promised goods or services can be distinguished in the context of the contract. Variable consideration typically consists of product returns and is estimated based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive. Revenue accruals are recorded on an ongoing basis to reflect updated variable consideration information.
For certain contracts, the Company recognizes revenue under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, measured by the percentage of “costs incurred to date” to the “total estimated costs of completion.” This percentage is applied to the “total estimated revenue at completion” to calculate proportionate revenue earned to date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the percentage-of-completion revenue accounted for less than 0.1% of total revenue during the respective time periods. This resulted in immaterial unfulfilled performance obligations and immaterial contract assets and/or liabilities, for which the Company did not record adjustments to opening retained earnings as of December 31, 2015 or for any periods previously presented.
The vast majority of the Company’s products are sold at a point in time and service contracts are short-term in nature. Sales are billed on a monthly basis with payment terms customarily 30 days from invoice receipt. In addition, sales taxes are excluded from revenues.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company has disaggregated revenues by product sales (point-in-time revenue recognition) and service revenue (over-time revenue recognition), where product sales accounted for over 95% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers (“observable standalone price”) or an expected cost plus a margin approach. For combined products and services within a contract, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct (i.e. if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the contract and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer). The consideration is allocated between separate products and services within a contract based on the prices at the observable standalone price. For items that are not sold separately, the expected cost plus a margin approach is used to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
Contract Balances
Under revenue contracts for both products and services, customers are invoiced once the performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, no revenue contracts give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
The Company has elected to apply several practical expedients as discussed below:
•
Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within segment selling and administrative expenses.
•
The majority of the Company’s services are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14, exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
•
The Company’s payment terms are short-term in nature with settlements of one year or less. The Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18, exempting the Company from adjusting the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component given that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
•
In most service contracts, the Company has the right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. For these contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18, allowing the Company to recognize revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice.
Accordingly, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

The Company has two reporting units, Energy Chemistry Technologies and Consumer and Industrial Chemistry Technologies, which had existing goodwill balances at December 31, 2017.
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $37.2 million in the Energy Chemistry Technologies (“ECT”) reporting unit, which resulted from sustained under-performance and lower expectations related to the reporting unit. As a result of these factors, a qualitative analysis, and additional risks associated with the business, the Company concluded that sufficient indicators existed to require an interim quantitative assessment of goodwill for that reporting unit as of June 30, 2018. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated based on an analysis of the present value of future discounted cash flows. The significant estimates used in the discounted cash flows model included the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, projected cash flows and the long-term rate of growth. The assumptions were based on the actual historical performance of the reporting unit and took into account a recent weakening of operating results in an improving market environment. The excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value over the estimated fair value was recorded as the goodwill impairment charge during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and represented all of the ECT reporting unit’s goodwill.
No impairments of goodwill were recognized in the Consumer and Industrial Chemistry Technologies reporting unit during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, no impairments of goodwill were recognized.

Long-term debt, classified as current:
 
 
 
Borrowings under revolving credit facility
$

$

Borrowing under the revolving credit agreement is classified as current debt as a result of the required lockbox arrangement and the subjective acceleration clause.
Credit Facility
On May 10, 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”). The Company may borrow under the Credit Facility for working capital, permitted acquisitions, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. The Credit Facility continues in effect until May 10, 2022. Under terms of the Credit Facility, the Company has total borrowing availability of $75 million under a revolving credit facility. A term loan was repaid in May 2017 and may not be re-borrowed.
The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic real and personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, land, buildings, equipment and other intangible assets. The Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties, and both affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at September 30, 2018. In the event of default, PNC Bank may accelerate the maturity date of any outstanding amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility.
Effective June 13, 2018, the Company entered into an Eleventh Amendment to the Credit Facility which, among other things, maintains the maximum revolving advance amount at $75 million, but adds a collateral block equal to $10 million minus the amount of any collateral value in excess of $75 million and, to the extent not duplicated, any inventory collateral in excess of $52 million. Compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and the leverage ratio is suspended through December 31, 2018, as long as there is not a financial covenant trigger event, which occurs if undrawn availability is less than $15 million at any month-end through December 31, 2018. At September 30, 2018, undrawn availability for this calculation was $21.0 million.
The Credit Facility contains financial covenants to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and a leverage ratio, as well as establishes an annual limit on capital expenditures. The fixed charge coverage ratio is the ratio of (a) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation, during the period to (b) all debt payments during the period. The fixed charge coverage ratio requirement begins for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 at 1.10 to 1.00, and for each annualized fiscal quarter in 2019 and thereafter. The leverage ratio (funded debt to adjusted EBITDA) requirement begins for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, at not greater than 3.00 to 1.00, and for each annualized fiscal quarter in 2019 and thereafter. These financial covenants will be tested earlier if a financial covenant trigger event occurs. Following a triggering event, the fixed charge coverage ratio must be maintained at no less than 1.10 to 1.00 and the leverage ratio must be maintained at no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the quarter. The annual limit on capital expenditures for 2018 and each fiscal year thereafter is $26 million. The annual limit on capital expenditures is reduced if the undrawn availability under the revolving credit facility falls below $15 million at any month-end.
The Credit Facility restricts the payment of cash dividends on common stock and limits the amount that may be used to repurchase common stock and preferred stock.
Beginning with fiscal year 2017, the Credit Facility includes a provision that 25% of EBITDA minus cash paid for taxes, dividends, debt payments, and unfunded capital expenditures, not to exceed $3.0 million for any fiscal year, be paid on the outstanding balance within 75 days of the fiscal year end. For the year ended December 31, 2017, there was no additional payment required based on this provision.
Each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries is fully obligated for Credit Facility indebtedness as a borrower or as a guarantor.
(a) Revolving Credit Facility
Under the revolving credit facility, the Company may borrow up to $75 million through May 10, 2022. This includes a sublimit of $10 million that may be used for letters of credit. The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic accounts receivable and inventory.

FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At September 30, 2018, eligible accounts receivable and inventory securing the revolving credit facility provided total borrowing capacity of $69.0 million under the revolving credit facility. Available borrowing capacity, net of outstanding borrowings, was $15.2 million at September 30, 2018.
The interest rate on advances under the revolving credit facility varies based on the fixed charge coverage ratio. Rates range (a) between PNC Bank’s base lending rate plus 1.5% to 2.0% or (b) between the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.5% to 3.0%. PNC Bank’s base lending rate was 5.25% at September 30, 2018. The Company is required to pay a monthly facility fee of 0.25% per annum, on any unused amount under the commitment based on daily averages. At September 30, 2018, $53.4 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility, with $1.4 million borrowed as base rate loans at an interest rate of 7.25% and $52.0 million borrowed as LIBOR loans at an interest rate of 5.23%.
(b) Term Loan
The amount borrowed under the term loan was reset to $10 million effective as of September 30, 2016. Monthly principal payments of $0.2 million were required. On May 22, 2017, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the term loan. No additional amount may be re-borrowed under the term loan.
Note 12 — Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding combined with dilutive common share equivalents outstanding, if the effect is dilutive.
Potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, since including them would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share due to the net loss incurred during the periods. Securities convertible into shares of common stock that were not considered in the diluted loss per share calculations were 0.9 million restricted stock units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 12,100 stock options and 1.2 million restricted stock units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Note 13 — Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company categorizes financial assets and liabilities into the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and bases categorization within the hierarchy on the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement.
•
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
•
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity or that are based on the reporting entity’s assumptions about the inputs.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

The carrying amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility approximates its fair value because the interest rates are variable.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company’s non-financial assets, including property and equipment, goodwill, and other intangible assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustment in certain circumstances. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment of $37.2 million for goodwill in the Energy Chemistry Technologies reporting unit (see Note 9). No impairments of goodwill were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. No impairments of property and equipment or other intangible assets were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Fluctuations in effective tax rates have historically been impacted by permanent tax differences with no associated income tax impact, changes in state apportionment factors, including the effect on state deferred tax assets and liabilities, and non-U.S. income taxed at different rates.
Net deferred tax assets arise due to the recognition of income and expense items for tax purposes, which differ from those used for financial statement purposes. ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2018, the Company considered all available objective and verifiable evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of pre-tax income (loss) both on a consolidated basis and tax reporting entity basis, legislative developments, and expectations and risks associated with estimates of future pre-tax income. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that it will not realize the benefits of certain deferred tax assets and, therefore, has recorded a valuation allowance against the carrying value of net deferred tax assets, except for deferred tax liabilities related to non-amortizable intangible assets and certain state jurisdictions.
Comprehensive tax reform legislation enacted in December 2017, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (“2017 Tax Act”), made significant changes to U.S. federal income tax laws. The 2017 Tax Act, among other things, reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, partially limited the deductibility of business interest expense and net operating losses, provided

additional limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation, imposed a one-time tax on unrepatriated earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries, taxed offshore earnings at reduced rates regardless of whether they are repatriated, and allowed the immediate deduction of certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time. The Company has not completed its determination of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act and recorded provisional amounts in its financial statements as of December 31, 2017. The Company has continued to evaluate the 2017 Tax Act and will adjust the provisional amounts as additional information is obtained. The ultimate impact of the 2017 Tax Act may differ from the provisional amounts recorded due to additional information becoming available, changes in interpretation of the 2017 Tax Act, and additional regulatory guidance that may be issued. No adjustments to the provisional amounts were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
In January 2017, the Internal Revenue Service notified the Company that it will examine the Company’s federal tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2014. No adjustments have been asserted, and management believes that sustained adjustments, if any, would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Note 15 — Common Stock
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended November 9, 2009, authorizes the Company to issue up to 80 million shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 100,000 shares of one or more series of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
A reconciliation of changes in common shares issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is as follows:
Shares issued at December 31, 2017

Stock Repurchase Program
In November 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $25 million of the Company’s common stock. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Through September 30, 2018, the Company has repurchased all $25.0 million of its common stock under this authorization.
In June 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $50 million of the Company’s common stock. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Through September 30, 2018, the Company has repurchased $0.3 million of its common stock under this authorization.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its outstanding common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company repurchased 630,000 shares of its outstanding common stock on the open market at a cost of $3.7 million, inclusive of transaction costs, or an average price of $5.85 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company repurchased 680,000 shares of its outstanding common stock on the open market at a cost of $4.2 million, inclusive of transaction costs, or an average price of $6.14 per share.
At September 30, 2018, the Company has $49.7 million remaining under its share repurchase programs. A covenant under the Company’s Credit Facility limits the amount that may be used to repurchase the Company’s common stock. At September 30, 2018, this covenant does not permit additional share repurchases.

Note 17 — Commitments and Contingencies
Class Action Litigation
On March 30, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the four consolidated putative securities class action lawsuits that were filed in November 2015, against the Company and certain of its officers. The lawsuits were previously consolidated into a single case, and a consolidated amended complaint had been filed. The consolidated amended complaint asserted that the Company made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. The complaint sought an award of damages in an unspecified amount on behalf of a putative class consisting of persons who purchased the Company’s common stock between October 23, 2014 and November 9, 2015, inclusive. The lead plaintiff has appealed the District Court’s decision granting the motion to dismiss.
In January 2016, three derivative lawsuits were filed, two in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (which have since been consolidated into one case) and one in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and its current directors. The lawsuits allege violations of law, breaches of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment against the defendants.
The Company believes the lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against all claims asserted. Discovery has not yet commenced. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the outcome of this litigation.
In addition, as previously disclosed, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had opened an inquiry related to similar issues to those raised in the above-described litigation. On August 21, 2017, the Company received a letter from the staff of the SEC stating that the inquiry has been concluded and that the staff does not intend to recommend an enforcement action against the Company.

Other Litigation
The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Concentrations and Credit Risk
The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from the oil and gas industry. Customers include major oilfield services companies, major integrated oil and natural gas companies, independent oil and natural gas companies, pressure pumping service companies, and state-owned national oil companies. This concentration of customers in one industry increases credit and business risks.
The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk within trade accounts receivable, as the Company does not generally require collateral as support for trade receivables. In addition, the majority of the Company’s cash is maintained at a major financial institution and balances often exceed insurable amounts.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”), and in particular, Part I, Item 2 — “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions, 15 U.S.C. § 78u-5, of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“Reform Act”). Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but instead represent Flotek Industries, Inc.’s (“Flotek” or “Company”) current assumptions and beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside the Company’s control. Such statements include estimates, projections, and statements related to the Company’s business plan, objectives, expected operating results, and assumptions upon which those statements are based. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report.
The forward-looking statements relate to future industry trends and economic conditions, forecast performance or results of current and future initiatives and the outcome of contingencies and other uncertainties that may have a significant impact on the Company’s business, future operating results and liquidity. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by words including, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions, or future-tense or conditional constructions such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” etc. The Company cautions that these statements are merely predictions and are not to be considered guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that can cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated, or implied.
A detailed discussion of potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from forward-looking statements is included in Part I, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (“Annual Report”) and periodically in subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company has no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events, except as required by law.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto of this Quarterly Report, as well as the Annual Report. Phrases such as “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Flotek Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company classified the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments as held for sale based on management’s intention to sell these businesses. The Company’s historical financial statements have been revised to present the operating results of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments as discontinued operations. The results of operations of Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies are presented as “Loss from discontinued operations” in the statement of operations and the related cash flows of these segments has been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments have been reclassified to “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale,” respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. During 2017, the Company completed the sale or disposal of the assets and transfer or liquidation of liabilities and obligations of these segments.

•
Historical, current, and anticipated future O&G prices,
•
Federal, state, and local governmental actions that may encourage or discourage drilling activity,
•
Customers’ strategies relative to capital funds allocations,
•
Weather conditions, and
•
Technological changes to drilling and completion methods and economics.
Historical North American drilling activity is reflected in “TABLE A” on the following page.
Customers’ demand for advanced technology products and services provided by the Company are dependent on their recognition of the value of:
•
Chemistries that improve the economics of their O&G operations,
•
Chemistries that meet the need of consumer product markets, and
•
Chemistries that are economically viable, socially responsible, and ecologically sound.
Market prices for commodities, including citrus oils and guar, can be influenced by:
•
Historical, current, and anticipated future production levels of the global citrus (primarily orange) and guar crops,
•
Weather related risks,
•
Health and condition of citrus trees and guar plants (e.g., disease and pests), and

Source: Rig counts are per Baker Hughes, Inc. (www.bakerhughes.com). Rig counts are the averages of the weekly rig count activity.
Completions are per the U.S. Energy Information Administration (https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/drilling/) as of October 15, 2018.
Average U.S. rig activity increased by 11.1% and 18.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, when compared to the same periods of 2017, and sequentially, increased by 1.2% when compared to the second quarter of 2018.
According to data collected by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) as reported on October 15, 2018, completions in the seven most prolific areas in the lower 48 states increased 20.8% and 26.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, when compared to the same periods of 2017. Sequentially, completions increased 6.0% when compared to the second quarter of 2018.
Company Outlook
After a continuous decline in U.S. drilling rig activity beginning in mid-2014, the market began to gradually recover in the second quarter of 2016. Although the oil and gas markets have improved, the level of drilling and completion activity remains lower than previous levels experienced before the downturn in 2014. Assuming the price for crude oil remains relatively stable and regulatory impediments are limited, the Company expects global oilfield activity to remain stable heading into 2019.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company continued to promote the efficacy of its Complex nano-Fluid® (“CnF®”) chemistries and its Prescriptive Chemistry Management® (“PCM®”) offering. Although quarter to quarter performance may vary, the Company expects to continue to penetrate the market over time by demonstrating the efficacy of its CnF® chemistries and full fluid chemistry treatment via PCM® through comparative analysis of wells with and without Flotek chemistries and field validation results conducted by exploration and production (“E&P”) companies. Flotek is experiencing a notable shift in purchasing behaviors in which E&P companies are focusing more on sourcing consumables, including chemistry, directly from manufacturers and providers of these products. This trend has created significant changes in Flotek’s customer base, product portfolio, and sales efforts and continues to influence changes in inventory and distribution strategies, capital allocation, and the business model for the Company. While these challenges are expected to persist in the near-term, the Company believes it can grow its client base and revenue opportunities over time. Additionally during the third quarter, the Company experienced a notable shift in higher demand for its products internationally, as unconventional activity has increased outside of the U.S. and international spending has begun to recover.
The Company continues to promote its patented and proprietary chemistries through its industry leading research and innovation staff who provide customer responsive product innovation, as well as development of new products which are expected to expand the Company’s future product lines. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company completed its new Global Research & Innovation Center in Houston. This state-of-the-art facility permits the development of next-generation innovative energy chemistries, as well as expanded collaboration between clients, leaders from academia, and Company scientists. These collaborative opportunities are an important and distinguishing capability within the industry and provide real time product and fluid system development direct to the consumer.
The outlook for the Company’s Consumer and Industrial Chemistry Technologies segment will be driven by the availability and demand for citrus oils, industrial solvents, and flavor and fragrance ingredients. Although citrus crops fluctuate from year to year, expectations for 2018 and 2019 remain below historical levels. The Company’s inventory and global purchasing strategies are sufficient to supply its flavor and fragrance business, as well as both internal and external industrial markets. The market supply of citrus oils has declined in recent years due to the reduction in citrus crops caused by the citrus greening disease. This reduced supply has resulted in higher citrus oil prices and increased price volatility. However, the Company expects its strong market position to enable it to maintain a stable supply for internal use and external sales. The Company expects to manage the impact of volatile terpene costs through the development of new product formulations, pricing strategies, and internal consumption.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company implemented a strategic restructuring of its business to enable a greater focus on its core businesses in the Energy Chemistry Technologies and Consumer and Industrial Chemistry Technologies segments and initiated a process to identify potential buyers for its Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments. During 2017, the Company completed the sale or disposal of the assets and transfer or liquidation of liabilities and obligations of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments. The Company continues to focus on maximizing the profitability of its product and business portfolio, and may exit or enter new product lines or businesses which complement its current operations.
Capital expenditures for continuing operations totaled $4.6 million and $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company expects capital spending to be between $6 million and $8 million in 2018. The Company will remain nimble in its core capital expenditure plans, adjusting as market conditions warrant, and will focus its capital spending program on uses that generate positive returns and to areas that pose a strategic long-term benefit.
Changes to geopolitical, global economic, and industry trends could have an impact, either positive or negative, on the Company’s business. In the event of significant adverse changes to the demand for oil and gas production, the market price for oil and gas, weather patterns, and/or the availability of citrus crops, the market conditions affecting the Company could change rapidly and materially. Should such adverse changes to market conditions occur, management believes the Company has access to adequate liquidity to withstand the impact of such changes while continuing to make strategic capital investments and acquisitions, if opportunities arise. In addition, management believes the Company is well-positioned to take advantage of significant increases in demand for its products should market conditions improve dramatically in the near term.

Consolidated Results of Operations: Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018, Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017
Consolidated revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, decreased $8.5 million, or 10.7%, and $54.0 million, or 22.1%, respectively, versus the same periods of 2017. These decreases in revenue were driven by decreased sales within the Energy Chemistry Technologies segment due to operational challenges, product mix, reduction in orders from certain key customers, and the shift in purchasing behaviors by E&P companies which are focusing more on sourcing consumables, including chemistry, directly from manufacturers and providers of these products.
Consolidated cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, decreased $3.1 million, or 5.4%, and $20.9 million, or 12.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2017, and, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 76.2% and 76.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, from 72.0% and 68.4%, in the same periods of 2017. These decreases are primarily due to increased logistics spending and field personnel to support the full fluid chemistry treatment via PCM® within Energy Chemistry Technologies, product mix, and increased raw material costs.
Corporate general and administrative (“CG&A”) expenses are not directly attributable to products sold or services provided. CG&A costs decreased $2.9 million, or 27.7%, and $9.1 million, or 27.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, versus the same periods of 2017. As a percentage of revenue, CG&A decreased 2.5% and 0.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The decreases in CG&A costs were primarily due to aggressive cost reduction measures which began in the last quarter of 2017, as well as lower incentive and stock compensation expense and costs associated with executive retirement.

27



Segment selling and administrative (“SS&A”) expenses are not directly attributable to products sold or services provided. SS&A costs decreased $2.2 million, or 23.2%, and $7.8 million, or 27.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, versus the same periods of 2017. As a percentage of revenue, SS&A decreased 1.7% and decreased 0.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The decreases in SS&A costs were primarily due to the Company’s response to a shift in its business model, lower incentive and stock compensation expense, and continued focus on cost reduction measures.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.1 million, or 3.6%, and $0.1 million, or 1.2%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, versus the same periods of 2017.
Research and Innovation (“R&I”) expense decreased $0.2 million, or 6.7%, and $1.4 million, or 14.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2017. These decreases are primarily due to reallocating personnel into operational roles.
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of  $37.2 million in the Energy Chemistry Technologies reporting unit, which resulted from sustained under-performance, lower expectations, and additional risks associated with the reporting unit.
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company committed to a plan to divest the revenue generating assets associated with the Dalton, Georgia facility within the Energy Chemistry Technologies segment. As a result of this planned divestiture, the Company recorded a loss on write-down of assets held for sale of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company completed the sale and recorded a loss on the sale of the business of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Interest and other expense increased $0.4 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, versus the same periods of 2017, primarily due to a $1.2 million write-off associated with the discontinuation of certain corporate projects during the second quarter of 2018, expenses related to winding down of certain business ventures, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.3 million, yielding an effective tax benefit rate of 7.7%, and an income tax provision of $15.6 million, yielding effective tax provision rate of 24.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of less than $0.1 million, yielding an effective tax provision rate of 0.5%, and an income tax benefit of $0.7 million, yielding an effective tax benefit rate of 12.4%, for the comparable periods in 2017. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it will not realize the benefits of its gross deferred tax assets and, therefore, recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the gross deferred tax assets to zero.
As part of the Company’s strategic restructuring of its business to enable a greater focus on its core businesses in the Energy Chemistry Technologies and Consumer and Industrial Chemistry Technologies segments, the Company completed the sale or disposal of the assets and transfer or liquidation of liabilities and obligations of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments during 2017. The Company recorded a net gain from discontinued operations of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and a net loss from discontinued operations of $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

ECT Results of Operations: Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018, Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017
ECT revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, decreased $7.5 million, or 12.2%, and $53.5 million, or 28.5%, respectively, versus the same periods of 2017. These declines are primarily attributable to product mix and transitions in the Company’s customer base. Sequentially, revenues increased $14.2 million, or 35.8%, versus the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to increased international sales.
Income from operations for the ECT segment decreased $2.9 million and $58.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, versus the same periods of 2017, primarily due to the $37.2 million goodwill impairment charge taken in the second quarter of 2018. Income from operations, excluding impairment, decreased $2.9 million, or 42.9%, and $21.7 million, or 87.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, versus the same periods of 2017. These decreases were primarily a result of gross margin compression caused by reduced sales activity coupled with increases in material and labor costs, increased inventory adjustments, and higher logistics expenditures, partially offset by a reduction in SS&A expenses.

CICT Results of Operations: Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018, Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017
CICT revenue decreased $1.0 million, or 5.5%, and $0.5 million, or 0.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, versus the same periods of 2017. These decreases were primarily due to reduced terpene sales. Sequentially, quarterly revenues decreased $2.3 million, or 11.6%, versus the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to reduced terpene sales and volumes.
Income from operations for the CICT segment decreased $0.1 million, or 12.9%, and $2.0 million, or 33.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, versus the same periods of 2017, primarily due to increased raw material costs, product mix, and by-product sales, as well as increased expenses related to operations of the new still put into production in the third quarter of 2018. Sequentially, quarterly operating margin increased from 3.3% to 5.0%, primarily attributable to reduced direct costs, product mix, and reduced by-product sales.
Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company classified the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments as held for sale based on management’s intention to sell these businesses. During 2017, the Company completed the sale or disposal of the assets and transfer or liquidation of liabilities and obligations of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have been no transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as “structured finance” or “special purpose entities” (“SPEs”), established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was not involved in any unconsolidated SPEs.
The Company has not made any guarantees to customers or vendors nor does the Company have any off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, change in financial condition, revenue, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that would be material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparation of these statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Part II, Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 2 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” and Part II, Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations, “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of the Company’s Annual Report, and the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report describe the significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most subjective judgments. The Company regularly reviews and challenges judgments, assumptions, and estimates related to critical accounting policies. The Company’s estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and expected changes in the business environment; however, actual results may materially differ from the estimates.
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, except as noted below.
Goodwill
Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate a potential impairment. These circumstances may include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in the business climate, unanticipated competition, or a change in projected operations or results of a reporting unit. Goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level. During the third quarter of 2018, only the Consumer and Industrial Chemistry Technologies reporting unit had a goodwill balance.
During annual testing, the Company assesses whether a goodwill impairment exists using both qualitative and quantitative assessments. The qualitative assessment involves determining whether events or circumstances exist that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If, based on this qualitative assessment, it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company does not perform a quantitative assessment.
If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment, a quantitative impairment test is performed to determine whether goodwill impairment exists at the reporting unit.
Effective during the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminated the second step of the two-step quantitative impairment test. Now, if quantitative impairment testing is performed, the Company compares the estimated fair value of each reporting unit which has

30



goodwill to its carrying amount, including goodwill. To determine fair value estimates, the Company uses the income approach based on discounted cash flow analyses, combined, when appropriate, with a market-based approach. The market-based approach considers valuation comparisons of recent public sale transactions of similar businesses and earnings multiples of publicly traded businesses operating in industries consistent with the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
The Company determines fair value using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows and market multiples analyses, and through use of independent fixed asset valuation firms, as appropriate. These types of analyses contain uncertainties, as they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgments regarding industry economic factors and the profitability of future business strategies. The Company’s policy is to conduct impairment testing based on current business strategies, taking into consideration current industry and economic conditions as well as the Company’s future expectations. Key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow valuation model include, among others, discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections, and terminal value rates. Discount rates and cash flow projections are the most sensitive and susceptible to change as they require significant management judgment. Discount rates are determined using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC considers market and industry data, as well as Company-specific risk factors for each reporting unit in determining the appropriate discount rate to be used. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in a similar business. Management uses industry considerations and Company-specific historical and projected results to develop cash flow projections for each reporting unit. Additionally, if appropriate, as part of the market-based approach, the Company utilizes market data from publicly traded entities whose businesses operate in industries comparable to the Company’s reporting units, adjusted for certain factors that increase comparability.
During the third quarter of 2018, the Company concluded it was not more-likely-than-not that there was an impairment of goodwill for the Consumer and Industrial Technologies (“CICT”) reporting unit based on the assessment of qualitative factors. While CICT revenues decreased 11.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2018, versus the three months ended June 30, 2018, and declined 5.5% versus the three months ended September 30, 2017, gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, improved 340 basis points and 50 basis points for the third quarter of 2018 versus the second quarter of 2018 and the third quarter of 2017, respectively, driven by product mix and reduced direct costs.
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company concluded it was not more-likely-than-not that there was an impairment of goodwill for the CICT reporting unit based on the assessment of qualitative factors. CICT revenues have increased 1.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, versus the same period in 2017, while gross margins, as a percentage of revenue, decreased 450 basis points driven by product mix and higher raw material costs.
For the second quarter of 2018, the Company was not able to conclude that it was not more-likely-than-not that the estimated fair value of the Energy Chemistry Technologies (“ECT”) reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount. Therefore, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test for the reporting unit. The results of the impairment test indicated that the carrying amount of the ECT reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value of the reporting unit by approximately $37.8 million, or 25.6% of the carrying amount. To evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations for the ECT reporting units, the Company applied a hypothetical 0.5% unfavorable change in the weighted average cost of capital, which would have reduced the estimated fair value of the ECT reporting unit by approximately $5.7 million. Additionally, reducing the revenue projections by 1.0% and holding gross margins steady reduced the estimated fair value approximately $4.4 million. These sensitivity analyses confirmed the need for an impairment for the ECT reporting unit. The Company recorded a full impairment of the goodwill for $37.2 million in the ECT reporting unit during the second quarter of 2018.
Key assumptions and estimates were based on the experience of the Company’s management, experience with past recessions within the oil and gas industry, and internal as well as published external perspectives of market activity. Key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis included:
•
Revenue and expenses experience industry level growth rates annually beyond 2019;
•
Margins stay in the lower portion of historical ranges; and
•
Working capital ratios remain consistent with historical levels.
Some of the factors that affected the change in results of the impairment test from the fourth quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2018 included:
•
Declining revenue and margin compression in the first half of 2018.
•
Mid-year sensitivity analysis decreased 2018 and 2019 expectations.

31



There are significant inherent uncertainties and judgments involved in estimating fair value. The Company cannot predict the occurrence of events or circumstances that could adversely affect the fair value of goodwill. Such events may include, but are not limited to, deterioration of the economic environment, increases in the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, material negative changes in relationships with significant customers, reductions in valuations of other public companies in the Company’s industry, or strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions. If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s current estimates and assumptions, impairment of goodwill could be required.
Based on the Company’s third quarter 2018 testing of goodwill for impairment for the CICT reporting unit, no impairment was recorded.
Income Taxes
The Company’s tax provision is subject to judgments and estimates necessitated by the complexity of existing regulatory tax statutes and the effect of these upon the Company due to operations in multiple tax jurisdictions. Income tax expense is based on taxable income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company’s income tax expense will fluctuate from year to year as the amount of pretax income fluctuates. Changes in tax laws and the Company’s profitability within and across the jurisdictions may impact the Company’s tax liability. While the annual tax provision is based on the best information available to the Company at the time of preparation, several years may elapse before the ultimate tax liabilities are determined.
The Company uses the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets when uncertainty exists regarding their realization.
A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce previously recorded tax assets when it becomes more likely than not such assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates, at least annually, net operating loss carry forwards and other net deferred tax assets and considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether a valuation allowance is necessary relative to net operating loss carry forwards and other net deferred tax assets. In making this determination, the Company considers cumulative losses in recent years as significant negative evidence. The Company considers recent years to mean the current year plus the two preceding years. The Company considers the recent cumulative income or loss position of its filings groups as objectively verifiable evidence for the projection of future income, which consists primarily of determining the average of the pre-tax income of the current and prior two years after adjusting for certain items not indicative of future performance. Based on this analysis, the Company determines whether a valuation allowance is necessary.
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2018, the Company considered all available objective and verifiable evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of pre-tax income (loss) both on a consolidated basis and tax reporting entity basis, legislative developments, and expectations and risks associated with estimates of future pre-tax income. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that it will not realize the benefits of certain deferred tax assets and, therefore, has recorded a valuation allowance against the carrying value of net deferred tax assets, except for deferred tax liabilities related to non-amortizable intangible assets and certain state jurisdictions.
The Company periodically identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions. This process considers the amounts and probability of various outcomes that could be realized upon final settlement. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are based on a two-step process. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Company’s estimates. Changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require a change in recognition and measurement estimates for certain individual tax positions. Any changes in estimates are recorded in results of operations in the period in which the change occurs. At December 31, 2017, the Company performed an evaluation of its various tax positions and concluded that it did not have significant uncertain tax positions requiring disclosure. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Overview
The Company’s ongoing capital requirements arise from the Company’s need to service debt, acquire and maintain equipment, fund working capital requirements, and when the opportunities arise, to make strategic acquisitions and repurchase Company stock. During the first nine months of 2018, the Company funded capital requirements primarily with cash on hand and debt financing.
The Company’s primary source of debt financing is its $75 million Credit Facility with PNC Bank. This Credit Facility contains provisions for a revolving credit facility secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic real and personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, land, buildings, equipment, and other intangible assets. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had $53.4 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving debt portion of the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. Significant terms of the Credit Facility are discussed in Note 11 — “Long-Term Debt and Credit Facility” in Part I, Item 1 — “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report.
The Company believes it has access to adequate liquidity to fund its ongoing operations and capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had available borrowing capacity, net of outstanding borrowings, under its revolving line of credit of $15.2 million and available cash of $1.8 million, resulting in total liquidity of $17.0 million. For the remainder of 2018, the Company plans to spend between $1.4 million and $3.4 million for committed and planned capital expenditures, adjusting its capital program as market conditions warrant. The Company may pursue external financing to increase its liquidity position and/or fund acquisitions when strategic opportunities arise.
Any excess cash generated may be used to pay down the level of debt or retained for future use.

Operating Activities
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was $(23.9) million and $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Consolidated net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, totaled $78.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net non-cash contributions to net income totaled $73.6 million. Contributory non-cash items consisted primarily of $37.2 million for the goodwill impairment charge, $15.4 million for changes to deferred income taxes driven by the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets, $9.3 million for depreciation and amortization, $6.6 million for stock-based compensation expense, $2.6 million for the loss on write-down of assets held for sale, $1.8 million

for inventory reserves, $0.4 million for the loss on sale of business, $0.3 million for recognized incremental tax benefits related to the Company’s share based awards, and $0.1 million for net loss on sale of assets.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net non-cash contributions to net income totaled $12.6 million. Contributory non-cash items consisted primarily of $9.7 million for stock compensation expense, $9.5 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.9 million for recognized incremental tax benefits related to the Company’s share based awards, $0.4 million for net loss on sale of assets, and $0.4 million for inventory reserves, partially offset by $8.3 million for changes to deferred income taxes.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, changes in working capital used $18.6 million in cash, primarily resulting from increasing accounts receivable and inventory by $28.8 million and decreasing accrued liabilities and interest payable by $0.1 million, partially offset by decreasing income taxes receivable and other current assets by $1.8 million and increasing accounts payable by $8.5 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, changes in working capital used $6.1 million in cash, primarily resulting from increasing accounts receivable and inventory by $21.3 million and decreasing accounts payable by $8.3 million, partially offset by decreasing income taxes receivable and other current assets by $21.9 million and increasing accrued liabilities and interest payable by $1.6 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash used in investing activities primarily included $4.6 million for capital expenditures and $1.5 million for the purchase of various patents and other intangible assets, partially offset by $1.7 million of proceeds received from the sale of revenue generating assets associated with a business line within the Energy Chemistry Technologies segment, and $0.4 million of proceeds received from the sale of fixed assets.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Cash provided by investing activities primarily included $18.5 million of proceeds received from the sale of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments and $0.3 million of proceeds received from the sale of fixed assets, partially offset by $6.2 million for capital expenditures and $0.8 million for the purchase of various patents.
Financing Activities
Net cash generated through financing activities was $25.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to receiving $25.5 million for borrowings of debt, net of repayments, and receiving $0.3 million in proceeds from the sale of common stock, partially offset by a loss from noncontrolling interest of $0.4 million.
Net cash used in financing activities was $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to using $7.8 million for repayments of debt, net of borrowings, purchases of treasury stock for tax withholding purposes related to vesting of restricted stock awards and the exercise of stock options of $1.5 million, and $4.2 million for the repurchase of common stock. Cash used in financing activities was partially offset by receiving $0.5 million in proceeds from the sale of common stock.
On August 1, 2017, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Universal Shelf”) with the SEC to register for sale from time to time up to $350 million of common stock, preferred stock, senior and subordinated debt securities, warrants, units and guarantees. The Universal Shelf was declared effective by the SEC on October 11, 2017 and will remain effective for three years. Although the Company has no current plans to issue any securities under the Universal Shelf, it will remain available for use by the Company, subject to market conditions, to quickly access the capital markets should the need arise.
Contractual Obligations
Cash flows from operations are dependent on a variety of factors, including fluctuations in operating results, accounts receivable collections, inventory management, and the timing of payments for goods and services. Correspondingly, the impact of contractual obligations on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources in future periods is analyzed in conjunction with such factors.

Item  3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, commodity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates. There have been no material changes to the quantitative or qualitative disclosures about market risk set forth in Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report.
Item  4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance that control objectives are attained. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurance.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018, as required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2018.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item  1. Legal Proceedings
Class Action Litigation
On March 30, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the four consolidated putative securities class action lawsuits that were filed in November 2015, against the Company and certain of its officers. The lawsuits were previously consolidated into a single case, and a consolidated amended complaint had been filed. The consolidated amended complaint asserted that the Company made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. The complaint sought an award of damages in an unspecified amount on behalf of a putative class consisting of persons who purchased the Company’s common stock between October 23, 2014 and November 9, 2015, inclusive. The lead plaintiff has appealed the District Court’s decision granting the motion to dismiss.
In January 2016, three derivative lawsuits were filed, two in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (which have since been consolidated into one case) and one in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and its current directors. The lawsuits allege violations of law, breaches of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment against the defendants.
The Company believes the lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against all claims asserted. Discovery has not yet commenced. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the outcome of this litigation.
In addition, as previously disclosed, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had opened an inquiry related to similar issues to those raised in the above-described litigation. On August 21, 2017, the Company received a letter from the staff of the SEC stating that the inquiry has been concluded and that the staff does not intend to recommend an enforcement action against the Company.
Other Litigation
The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item  1A. Risk Factors
