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. 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. 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. Terpene Supply Agreement On October 29, 2021, the Company reached agreement (“the ADM Settlement) with Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (“ADM”), Florida Chemical Company (“FCC”) and other parties to pay $1.75 million and resolve all claims between the parties in relation to lawsuit claiming damages relating to the terpene supply agreement between Flotek Chemistry, LCC (“Flotek Chemistry”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and FCC. 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. Other Commitments and Contingencies The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk within trade accounts receivable, and related party 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.
