| Statement |
|---|
| We believe that there is more work to be done, but we are well positioned to capitalize on the significant opportunity we have before us as we build value for our shareholders |
| These impressive results reflect the positive and impactful changes we have achieved within a short period of time |
| Our results built upon the strong financial and operational momentum we established this year and reflect a meaningful year-over-year improvement in all of our profitability metrics |
| And again, as I look at it, if I see, these technologies that we have moved into the forefront for these E&P operators as well as helping and growing our relationship with the pressure pumping companies, we're in a really good position there |
| We will continue to leverage our differentiated technologies in both chemistry and data analytics solution platforms to positively impact our customers' value chain while systematically gaining market share and margin expansion to generate an impactful return on investment for our shareholders |
| During the third quarter, we reported positive adjusted EBITDA and the ninth consecutive quarter of EBITDA improvement |
| We achieved positive adjusted gross margin for the third consecutive quarter with an associated margin of 22% |
| In addition, adjusted gross profit through the first 9 months is up nearly $20 million from the same period of 2022 |
| Transactional chemistry revenues have grown each quarter in 2023 due to our rapidly expanding customer base, and the continued adoption of our Prescriptive Chemistry Management business model, which exhibited 128% sequential growth and applications of our proprietary complex nano-fluids and over 250% growth annually |
| The other big component that we're extremely excited about probably has had the most impact for us is that our prescriptive chemistry based sales are continuing to increase every quarter |
| On a positive note, Flotek's transactional chemistry revenues were up almost 80% from the first quarter of this year |
| And that's why I think we're in a really good position to continue to improve our gross margin base |
| This is an important achievement that reflects the progress we've made maximizing Flotek's revenue stream from our diversified business segments and our continued initiatives to drive cost improvements across the business |
| This is a 58% increase from the first quarter of this year, with further improvements expected in the fourth quarter |
| In addition, using the midpoint of our latest revenue guidance, we would achieve annual revenue growth of 41% this year versus 2022, which certainly will be a tremendous achievement given the onshore market dynamics |
| So when you look at overall operational contribution to gross margin improvement, a lot of that has been driven by our improvement of our logistical networks and automization that we've done there as we continue to see freight as a percentage of material costs go down every quarter this year |
| We expanded our global footprint with a new international entity in Abu Dhabi to facilitate market share growth and margin expansion as we strengthen our in-country value-add components while lowering our operational cost base by approximately 30% which would equate to greater than $1 million in annual savings |
| And our freight costs have gone down as a percentage of revenue, and our material cost as a percentage of revenue are where we work pre the ProFrac contract, which means we've seen significant improvement in our overall material cost base |
| This plays right to the strength of our differentiated chemistry and data technologies that target improved recovery and maximize the value of our customers' hydrocarbons |
| I'm extremely pleased with our third quarter results as we continue to demonstrate significant progress in executing our corporate strategy while improving our core business fundamentals, as is highlighted by the first quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA in 5 years |
| Flotek is well positioned within this space as a collaborative partner of choice for our customers that are seeing the importance of maximized production and rate of return for their assets moved to the forefront of their operations |
| Customers design value to technology and efficiency and the service industry is rewarded for returns and profitability enhancement |
| We have demonstrated a track record of delivering continuing improvement in our profitability that is not being reflected in our share price |
| In summary, Flotek delivered impressive third quarter as we saw virtually every financial metric improve year-over-year and a reporting of positive adjusted EBITDA for the first time in 5 years |
| To that end, we have continued to grow our transactional chemistry business revenues every quarter this year, and they were up another 5% in the third quarter, which has clearly mitigated the impact of the broader market slowdown |
| As shown on the chart, this is the ninth consecutive quarter of improvement in this metric |
| We reached a significant milestone by reporting positive adjusted EBITDA for the first time since the third quarter of 2018, which also represented the ninth consecutive quarter of improvement |
| As shown on Slide 8 of this morning's deck, we reported a solid quarter of results across the board highlighted by strong growth in all the year-over-year profitability metrics |
| Our corporate strategy is paying dividends and delivering impressive results as we achieved several important milestones during the quarter |
| And accordingly, our third quarter and 9-month 2023 revenues include expected shortfall payments, which positively impacts our profitability |
| Statement |
|---|
| land rig count is down 19% and total frac fleets are down 12% from the third quarter of 2022 |
| Revenue was slightly down sequentially |
| As Ryan mentioned, the sequential decrease is attributable to the overall market pullback in upstream drilling and completion activity |
| This decrease is directly attributable to the overall market slowdown in upstream onshore activity that has been experienced this year |
| As a result of the slowdown that Ryan touched upon earlier in onshore activity, total revenues are now expected to total $185 million to $200 million compared to a previous estimate of $210 million to $230 million |
| These risks and uncertainties can actually -- can cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations and projections |
| And what we've seen is that we've seen a slight impact to overall revenue |
| And so when we look at the fleet deployment, one is, is that we've actually seen, obviously, the total count itself was down |
| We're really not able to hear your question |
| So if I understand correctly, you're asking around where the fleets are being deployed and how this has impacted our gross margins |
