Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Litigation The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Except as disclosed below, management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Terpene Supply Agreement As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet included an accrued liability of $9.4 million associated with the terpene supply agreement with Florida Chemical Company, LLC (“FCC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (“ADM”). The Company calculated the liability based on its expected usage of terpene in blended products being less than the minimum quantities of terpene required to be purchased under the terpene supply agreement and the expected selling prices of the excess terpene. Losses for the year ended December 31, 2020 on the terpene contract totaled $11.7 million and was recognized in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. On March 26, 2021, Flotek Industries, Inc. and Flotek Chemistry, LLC (“Flotek Chemistry”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a lawsuit against ADM, FCC and other parties in state court in Harris County, Texas. The lawsuit claimed damages relating to the terpene supply agreement between Flotek Chemistry and FCC and related breaches of fiduciary duty. Contemporaneously with the filing of the suit, Flotek Chemistry delivered a notice of termination of the terpene supply agreement. On April 5, 2021, ADM and FCC filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery seeking to enjoin the lawsuit filed in Texas and claiming damages under the terpene supply agreement and other matters. On October 29, 2021, the Company reached agreement with all parties resolving all claims between the parties (“the ADM Settlement”) that resulted in the termination of the terpene supply agreement and a settlement payment of $1.75 million due from Flotek. In accordance with the terms of the ADM Settlement, the Company reduced the accrued liability associated with the terpene supply agreement to $1.75 million and recorded a gain of $7.6 million in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The one-time payment of $1.75 million from Flotek to ADM was paid on January 3, 2022 and was included as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. Former CEO Matter During the year ended December 31, 2021, Flotek commenced an internal investigation into the activities of John Chisholm (Flotek’s previous CEO) due to irregularities in expenses and transactions during the years from 2014 to 2018. The investigation revealed evidence of related party transactions/self-dealing, inappropriate personal expenses, and general corporate waste. Flotek’s board engaged a third party to review the findings of the investigation. After the third-party review, Flotek concluded that its current and historical financial statements can be relied upon, that proper action had been taken, and that no members of current management were implicated in any way. Beginning in December 2021, Flotek sent demand letters to, and subsequently filed arbitration or other legal proceedings against, John Chisholm, Casey Doherty/Doherty & Doherty LLP (Flotek’s former outside general counsel) and Moss Adams LLP (Flotek’s former independent public audit firm) to recover damages. John Chisholm subsequently filed a counterclaim against Flotek in the arbitration proceeding for his remaining severance (currently accrued by the Company, but payment for which was suspended). Although Flotek believes its claims are supported by the available evidence, the timing and amount of any outcome cannot reasonably be predicted. Other Commitments and Contingencies The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk within trade accounts receivable, as the Company does not generally require collateral as support for trade receivables. In addition, the majority of the Company’s cash is invested in three major U.S. financial institutions and balances often exceed insurable amounts.
