Joe Bob Edwards, President and CEO, commented, “Today is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Flowco as we report our first earnings as a publicly traded company following our successful IPO in January. Thanks to the hard work and persistent efforts of the team that has built this business over the last decade, we feel we are well positioned to continue executing on our growth strategy while delivering industry-leading returns.

2024 was a transformational year for Flowco. Our year-over-year revenue and EBITDA growth underscores our ability to grow in an industry where our customers are continuously focused on production and capital efficiency. Our top quartile EBITDA margins illustrate the differentiation of our products, equipment, and technology, which enable our customers to produce oil and natural gas more efficiently while reducing downtime. We are also differentiated by our vertically integrated manufacturing operations and a supply chain that is located solely in the United States, providing a competitive advantage amidst an uncertain geopolitical environment.

In 2025, we plan to continue investing in our business while maintaining capital discipline and our focus on providing attractive returns on capital employed. With our strategic focus on production optimization, we are levered to resilient cash flows driven by our customers’ non-discretionary, production-oriented expenditures. Based on identified customer demand and a stable U.S. production outlook, we expect continued growth in 2025 as we deliver high-value outcomes to our growing customer base.”

Segment Information

We report our results in two segments, Production Solutions and Natural Gas Technologies. Production Solutions includes the rental, sale and service associated with high pressure gas lift, conventional gas lift and plunger lift, including a range of digital solutions and other production related technologies. Natural Gas Technologies includes the design, manufacture, rental and sale of vapor recovery and natural gas systems. Corporate costs not directly related to either segment are categorized separately.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See definitions of these measures and the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures outlined in the reconciliation tables accompanying this release.

Production Solutions

Fourth quarter 2024 revenue for the Production Solutions segment increased 1.5% from the third quarter of 2024, with Adjusted Segment EBITDA increasing 5.2% quarter over quarter for the same periods. The increases resulted from higher operating leverage combined with a slight shift in revenue mix between surface equipment and downhole solutions.

Natural Gas Technologies

Fourth quarter 2024 revenue for the Natural Gas Technologies segment decreased 6.5% from the third quarter of 2024 as anticipated, primarily due to the completion of a large customer project within the natural gas systems business unit in the first half of the quarter. Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 4.5% quarter over quarter for the same periods, with Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margins up 400 basis points due to the strong performance of vapor recovery, offsetting the impact of the decline in revenues from natural gas systems.

Corporate

Corporate Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $3.9 million, and there was no corporate Adjusted Segment EBITDA in the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in corporate Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily associated with the establishment of our public, corporate function in anticipation of our initial public offering.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

As of March 14, 2025, borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility were $195.7 million. With a borrowing base of $723.5 million, we had availability under the Revolving Credit Facility of $527.7 million.

Dividend Policy

As discussed in the Final Prospectus, we currently intend to pay a dividend from available funds and future earnings on our Class A common stock. As of the date of this press release, the Flowco board of directors has not made any determination regarding our future dividend policy, but expects to consider adopting a policy following the first quarter of 2025. Because we are a holding company, our ability to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock depends on our receipt of cash distributions from Flowco LLC, and, through Flowco LLC cash distributions and dividends from our other direct and indirect subsidiaries. Our ability to pay dividends may be restricted by the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility and any future credit agreement or any future debt or preferred equity securities of us or our subsidiaries.

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 and Adjusted EBITDA, 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. 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) business combination-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.

Reconciliation from net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are set forth as follows:

Previously issued non-GAAP information did not include provision for income taxes amounts as a reconciling item for the year ended December 31, 2023, as Texas margin tax was included within other expense in the previously issued consolidated statements of operations. In order to conform with current year's presentation, the Company reclassified Texas margin tax amounts from other expense into provision for income taxes, and consequently, have been included as a reconciling item to Adjusted EBITDA from net income for all periods presented above.

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, conventional gas lift and plunger lift, including other digital solutions and methane abatement technologies.
  • Natural Gas Technologies: relates to the design and manufacturing for the rental, sales and servicing of vapor recovery and natural gas systems.

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:
