Insights

Flowco delivers profitable growth, funds a major acquisition, and raises its dividend.

Flowco grew Q1 2026 revenues to $209.5 million, while net income was $27.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA reached $85.5 million with a 40.8% margin. This shows solid profitability alongside a sizeable contribution from rentals and services.

Free Cash Flow of $52.3 million came after $26.4 million of capital expenditures, even as the company paid $161.8 million in cash to acquire Valiant Artificial Lift Solutions. The Valiant deal expands Production Solutions, adding ESP offerings and supporting segment revenue and Adjusted Segment EBITDA growth.

Leverage increased, with long-term debt rising to $328.0 million and the tax receivable agreement liability to $92.4 million. However, Flowco reports $387.5 million of availability under its revolving credit facility as of May 1, 2026. The 12.5% dividend increase to $0.09 per share signals confidence in ongoing cash generation.

Valiant acquisition cash paid $161.8 million Net cash used in Valiant acquisition in Q1 2026
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA1 of $85.5 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Free Cash Flow financial
"Net cash provided by operating activities of $78.7 million and Free Cash Flow1 of $52.3 million"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Adjusted Net Income financial
"generating net income of $27.5 million and Adjusted Net Income1 of $35.7 million"
Adjusted net income is a company's reported profit after removing unusual, one-time, or non-operational items so the number reflects the business’s regular earning power. Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard — similar to judging a player’s season performance without a few fluke games — to compare companies or assess trends without being misled by rare gains or losses that won’t affect future cash flow.
Tax receivable agreement liability financial
"Tax receivable agreement liability | | | | 92,437"
A tax receivable agreement liability is the recorded future obligation a company expects to pay under an agreement that shares tax savings generated after a corporate transaction. Think of it like promising to split a refund with a former owner: the company recognizes a future bill on its books that reduces cash available to shareholders and can affect valuation and debt capacity. Investors watch it because it represents a real, sometimes sizable, cash outflow tied to tax benefits realized over time.
redeemable non-controlling interests financial
"Redeemable non-controlling interests | | | | 1,007,625"
Redeemable non-controlling interests are ownership stakes in a company’s unit held by outside investors that can be forced to be bought back by the parent company for cash or a set value. Think of it like a part-owner who has the contractual right to ‘cash out’ their share; for investors this matters because it can create a future cash obligation, change reported equity versus debt, and affect earnings and ownership percentages.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

Joe Bob Edwards, President and CEO, commented, “Flowco delivered a strong first quarter, generating meaningful free cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA growth, while sustaining industry-leading margins through disciplined execution across both operating segments.

 

During the quarter, we successfully closed our acquisition of Valiant Artificial Lift Solutions, and we believe the integration is progressing well. We are encouraged by the early alignment across the organization and our expanded ability to support customers across a broader range of artificial lift solutions throughout the life of the well.

 

As we look ahead, a growing global focus on energy security is reinforcing the need for reliable, diversified sources of supply and highlighting the role of U.S. oil and natural gas production. As a North American-focused business, we have remained insulated from recent international market disruptions and are well positioned as this environment supports incremental activity across the region. We expect this dynamic to drive continued demand for production optimization and artificial lift solutions, as operators remain disciplined while prioritizing efficiency gains from existing production. This outlook supports our anticipated earnings growth profile through the remainder of the year and our ability to drive long-term value for our shareholders.”

 

 


 

Segment Information

We report our results in two segments, Production Solutions and Natural Gas Technologies.

Production Solutions

First quarter 2026 revenue and Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the Production Solutions segment increased 10.0% and 6.9%, respectively, from the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by higher Surface Equipment revenue and one month of earnings contribution from Valiant, which added an ESP offering to our Production Solutions segment. Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin decreased 125 basis points, reflecting a revenue mix shift.

Natural Gas Technologies

 

First quarter 2026 revenue for the Natural Gas Technologies segment decreased 0.6% from the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower Vapor Recovery system sales, partially offset by increased Vapor Recovery rentals and Natural Gas Systems sales. Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased 1.1% quarter over quarter, while Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin was effectively flat.

Corporate

Corporate Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the first quarter 2026 was $(5.6) million, compared to $(3.9) million for the fourth quarter of 2025. This decrease was driven primarily by incremental filing and legal expenses associated with our Form S-3 filing on February 4, 2026 and subsequent public secondary equity offering by selling stockholders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, as well as Adjusted Segment EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin, in this press release to supplement financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results provides management additional insight on the consolidated financial performance from period to period to project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our management and investors with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period to period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. For example, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. Similarly, Free Cash Flow does not represent our residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures, since the calculation of this measure does not reflect certain debt service requirements or certain other non-discretionary expenditures. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure that we define as net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact of (i) transaction-related expenses, (ii) share-based compensation, (iii) loss on the sale of equipment, (iv) loss on debt payments and (v) changes to the value of our inventory. Adjusted Net Income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management, our stockholders and others to provide visibility on the profitability and financial strength of the Company by excluding certain expenses related to non-recurring Company transactions.

Reconciliation from net income to Adjusted Net Income is set forth as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

We define EBITDA as net income, adjusted to exclude interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude (i) share-based compensation expense, (ii) transaction-related expenses and (iii) other non-cash and non-recurring expenses.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are key performance indicators we use in evaluating our operating performance and in making financial, operating and planning decisions. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides additional visibility on operating performance across reporting periods by removing the effect of non-cash and/or non-recurring expenses. Accordingly, we believe that this measure provides useful information to our stockholders and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin

In addition to business segment profit or loss, our management also evaluates Adjusted Segment EBITDA, which is presented on a business unit level for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating operating and financial performance. As discussed above, the Company operates and manages its business units in the following two operating and reporting segments:

Production Solutions: relates to rentals, sales and services related to high pressure gas lift, electric submersible pump (ESP), conventional gas lift and plunger lift. This segment includes rental, sales and service revenues.
Natural Gas Technologies: relates to the design, manufacturing, rental, sale and servicing of vapor recovery and natural gas systems. This segment includes rental, sales and service revenues.

 


 

We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA as segment net income, as adjusted in the same manner as defined for EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA above. Reconciliation from segment net income, which includes direct segment costs but excludes corporate costs not directly related to either segment, to Adjusted Segment EBITDA is set forth as follows:

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that we define as cash flow provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment (which includes both maintenance and growth capital expenditures, but excludes asset acquisitions of a business, and excludes other business acquisitions and equity investments). Management believes this information is important to provide because it is used by management to evaluate the Company’s operational performance and trends between periods and to manage our business. Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company’s results of ongoing operations. Free Cash Flow is not intended to replace GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating
