Revenues:

• Chemistry Technologies: The segment grew external revenue 43% as compared to the year-ago quarter. This growth reflects Flotek's ability to continue to capture market share despite a 25% year-over-year decline in North American frac fleets⁽⁴⁾, indicating strong demand for our specialized chemistry solutions. However, related party chemistry purchases were impacted negatively by reduced fleet count utilization.
• Data Analytics: The segment achieved a 232% revenue increase as compared to the year-ago quarter, with service revenues growing 625% to $7.2 million, underscoring the growing market demand for Flotek's data-driven solutions that enhance operational efficiency for clients.  Third quarter 2025 service revenues include approximately $6.1 million related to the Acquired Assets. 

Gross Profit: The Company generated gross profit of $17.8 million during the third quarter of 2025 compared to $9.1 million during the third quarter of 2024. The 95% increase in third quarter 2025 gross profit was driven by a 232% increase in high-margin Data Analytics revenue. Additionally, the reduction in related party chemistry sales, as compared to the year-ago quarter, resulted in a 28% increase in revenues attributable to the minimum chemistry purchase requirement contained in the Company's long-term supply agreement with ProFrac. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue totaled 32% in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to 18% in the year-ago period.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expense: SG&A expense totaled $7.4 million for the third quarter of 2025, or 13% as a percentage of revenues, compared to $5.7 million during the third quarter of 2024, or 11% as a percentage of revenues. The increase in SG&A expenses during the third quarter of 2025 was primarily the result of higher professional fees and personnel costs including non-cash stock compensation costs.

Net Income: In the third quarter of 2025, Flotek reported net income of $20.4 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, as compared to $2.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Net income during the third quarter of 2025 included a $12.6 million tax benefit related to previously reserved deferred tax assets. While the current quarter impact of the partial release of the valuation allowance is non-cash, it is a positive indication of the Company's outlook for generating future income from which it could utilize its deferred tax assets.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ (Non-GAAP): Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $11.7 million in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2024. This marks the 12th consecutive quarter of Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ improvement.

PWRtek^TM Update: During the third quarter of 2025, revenues attributable to the Acquired Assets totaled $6.1 million with gross profit as a percentage of revenue totaling approximately 89%. As of September 30, 2025, all the Acquired Assets were in service and the Company expects fourth quarter and full year 2025 PWRtek revenues to total approximately $6.8 million and $16.1 million, respectively. Acquisition expenses related to the asset acquisition during the third quarter and nine-month periods of 2025 totaled $0.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

(1)	Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 are useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods.  Management views the adjustments made to net income for certain non-cash or non-recurring items noted above to be outside of the Company's normal operating results.  Management analyzes operating results without the impact of the above items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business and cash flow from continuing operations, and to establish financial, compensation and operational objectives. In addition, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors, creditors and analysts with a clearer view of the Company's leverage profile and debt service capacity, enhancing comparability and augmenting the ability of investors, creditors and analysts to make investment decisions based upon liquidity.
(2)	The Company's contract assets arose from fixed, non-refundable consideration in the form of convertible notes issued by the Company to ProFrac in connection with the entry into the ProFrac Agreement and are amortized as a reduction of revenue over the contract term. While the GAAP presentation reduces revenue, these amounts economically represent the cost of acquiring the ProFrac Agreement, similar to commissions, marketing spend or other customer acquisition expenses. Accordingly, the Company's management treats the amortization of contract assets similar to a non-cash expense added-back to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA to more accurately reflect the recurring cash impact of the transaction and to maintain comparability with the treatment of other amortization costs and comparability of the Company's results with competitors that may not report amortization of contract assets. The Company believes that it is important for investors to understand that under GAAP, the amortization of contract assets is not an expense and instead reduces revenue.
(3)	Includes $0.2 million and $4.4 million of expenses related to Asset Acquisition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
