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. Former CEO (John Chisholm) Matter On May 23, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with John Chisholm (a former CEO of the Company) to resolve a claim made by Mr. Chisholm in arbitration for payment of outstanding severance and claims made by the Company against Mr. Chisholm. The settlement resulted in the reversal of $2.3 million of accrued severance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and is included in severance costs in our consolidated statements of operation. The Company had withheld payment of outstanding severance to Mr. Chisholm subsequent to an investigation conducted during the year ended December 31, 2021 into corporate practices when Mr. Chisholm was CEO during the years from 2014 to 2018. The Company concluded upon completion of that investigation that its historical financial statements could be relied upon, that proper action had been taken, and that no members of current management were implicated in any improper corporate practices. The Company subsequently commenced arbitration and other legal proceedings against Mr. Chisholm, Casey Doherty/ Doherty & Doherty LLP (Flotek’s former outside general counsel) and Moss Adams LLP and its predecessor, Hein & Associates LLP (Flotek’s former independent public audit firm) to recover damages. Mr. Chisholm filed a counterclaim against the Company in the arbitration proceeding for his remaining severance, and that dispute has been resolved as previously stated. During June 2023, the Company entered into a settlement with Moss Adams LLP and its predecessor, Hein & Associates LLP. During October 2023, the Company entered into a settlement with Mr. Casey Doherty and Doherty & Doherty LLP. 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.
