Financial Summary

Joe Bob Edwards, President and CEO, commented, “Flowco delivered a strong first quarter, generating meaningful free cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA growth, while sustaining industry-leading margins through disciplined execution across both operating segments.

During the quarter, we successfully closed our acquisition of Valiant Artificial Lift Solutions, and we believe the integration is progressing well. We are encouraged by the early alignment across the organization and our expanded ability to support customers across a broader range of artificial lift solutions throughout the life of the well.

As we look ahead, a growing global focus on energy security is reinforcing the need for reliable, diversified sources of supply and highlighting the role of U.S. oil and natural gas production. As a North American-focused business, we have remained insulated from recent international market disruptions and are well positioned as this environment supports incremental activity across the region. We expect this dynamic to drive continued demand for production optimization and artificial lift solutions, as operators remain disciplined while prioritizing efficiency gains from existing production. This outlook supports our anticipated earnings growth profile through the remainder of the year and our ability to drive 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 pump (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.

Segment Financial Information

Production Solutions

First quarter 2026 revenue and Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the Production Solutions segment increased 10.0% and 6.9%, respectively, from the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by higher Surface Equipment revenue and one month of earnings contribution from Valiant, which added an ESP offering to our Production Solutions segment. Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin decreased 125 basis points, reflecting a revenue mix shift.

Natural Gas Technologies

First quarter 2026 revenue for the Natural Gas Technologies segment decreased 0.6% from the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower Vapor Recovery system sales, partially offset by increased Vapor Recovery rentals and Natural Gas Systems sales. Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased 1.1% quarter over quarter, while Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin was effectively flat.

Corporate

Corporate Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the first quarter 2026 was $(5.6) million, compared to $(3.9) million for the fourth quarter of 2025. This decrease was driven primarily by incremental filing and legal expenses associated with our Form S-3 filing on February 4, 2026 and subsequent public secondary equity offering by selling stockholders.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

As of May 1, 2026, the Company had outstanding borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility (“Credit Agreement”) of $332.9 million and, with a current borrowing base of $721.6 million, had availability under the Credit Agreement of $387.5 million.

Dividend Declaration

On May 1, 2026, Flowco announced that its Board of Directors declared an increased quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share of Class A common stock, representing a 12.5% increase, payable on May 27, 2026 to Class A common stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2026. Flowco MergeCo LLC, the Company’s operating subsidiary, will make a corresponding distribution of $0.09 per unit to holders of its common units.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release may be forward-looking statements. These statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance, and include, but are not limited to: statements regarding guidance or estimates related to the Company’s results of operations or financial condition; industry trends, customer demand and industry outlook, and effects on Flowco’s operations; Flowco’s strategies and plans, including matters relating to the Company’s growth, capital expenditures, dividend policies, and leverage profile. When used in this press release, words such as “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “forecast,” “target,” “predict,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “could,” and “will,” the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions, and are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although Flowco believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release.

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, (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) 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 pump (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 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. 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:
