Joe Bob Edwards, President and CEO, commented, “Flowco delivered a strong third quarter, with Adjusted EBITDA exceeding the high end of our guidance range and approximately $72 million of free cash flow, representing roughly 70% free cash flow conversion from Adjusted EBITDA. Our performance reflects the benefits of our production optimization orientation and consistent execution across both of our segments. In addition to the continued performance of our rental revenue base, we benefited from accelerated revenue associated with the release of certain rental systems within Surface Equipment, which we are actively working to redeploy based on identified customer demand.
U.S. operators’ focus on enhancing returns from existing assets is driving demand for our solutions as we advance our strategic priorities, including international growth. Valiant continues to exceed our expectations and recently secured an award for future work from a large independent operator through an existing Flowco relationship, demonstrating the cross-selling opportunities across our platform. Subsequent to quarter-end, we completed our acquisition of Lifting Solutions, a meaningful step in expanding our international presence. We are encouraged by the early international momentum across our business units, including incremental orders for ESPs and gas lift equipment in Venezuela and the Middle East, and we believe Lifting Solutions provides an attractive platform to accelerate these efforts.
Our durable cash flow generation and balance sheet provide the flexibility to pursue strategic growth, both organically and through acquisitions like Valiant and Lifting Solutions, while also returning capital to shareholders through dividends and repurchases under our recently expanded authorization. We remain committed to disciplined capital allocation as we seek to create long-term value for our shareholders.”
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, electric submersible pumps (ESP), 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
Third quarter 2026 revenue and Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the Production Solutions segment increased 4.5% and 9.8%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2026, driven by higher Surface Equipment revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.

Third quarter 2026 revenue included approximately $9 million in accelerated rental revenue associated with the release of certain Surface Equipment systems.
Natural Gas Technologies
Third quarter 2026 revenue and Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the Natural Gas Technologies segment increased 23.1% and 11.2%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2026, primarily due to an increase in Natural Gas Systems sales. Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin decreased 413 basis points, primarily reflecting a higher proportion of Natural Gas Systems revenue within the quarter.
Corporate
Third quarter 2026 Corporate Adjusted Segment EBITDA was largely unchanged at $(5.0) million, compared to $(4.9) million in the second quarter of 2026.

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, and (iv) non-recurring charges. 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.
Reconciliation from net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are set forth as follows:

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 pumps (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 Conversion
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. Free Cash Flow Conversion is a non-GAAP measure that we define as Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company’s cash flows and results of ongoing operations.
A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow, as well as Free Cash Flow (Deficit) after net cash paid in acquisitions, is set forth as follows:
