Recent Events
On March 3, 2026, the Company announced that it had been awarded its first contract to deliver power services for utilities infrastructure support. Under the agreement, the Company expects to coordinate the installation of up to 50 megawatts (“MW”) of power generation equipment including the Company’s gas distribution and conditioning assets to support critical federal disaster recovery initiatives. The initial term of the agreement is for six months, with customer option to extend to four years. In late March, the Company began deploying the initial equipment to service this contract. As a result, the Company expects DA revenue in the second quarter to increase as compared to the first quarter.
On March 12, 2026, the Company and ProFrac Holding Corp (“ProFrac”) entered into an agreement (as amended, the “OSP Agreement”) regarding the settlement of 2025 Contract Shortfall Fees payable to the Company under the ProFrac Agreement for the measurement period of January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The OSP Agreement provides for the payment of an aggregate of $19.7 million of consideration (which amount represents $27.4 million of 2025 Contract Shortfall Fees, net of a $7.2 million offset against the 2025 Contract Shortfall Fee (the “OSP Offset”) amount due under the ProFrac Agreement and other minor adjustments) to the Company as follows: $7.2 million to be paid in cash and $12.5 million to be satisfied through an equipment construction and rental credit (the “Equipment Credit”). Under the OSP Agreement, the Company has committed to purchase and/or rent $12.5 million of equipment from ProFrac to be used for opportunities within the DA segment, with the costs of such equipment to be offset by the Equipment Credit. Pursuant to the OSP Agreement, during the first quarter of 2026, the Company received $5 million in cash and utilized $0.7 million of the Equipment Credit. The Company received the remaining $2.2 million in cash in April 2026 and expects to utilize the remaining Equipment Credit during 2026, however any unused amounts at the end of 2026 would be available for use in 2027 until the full credit is utilized.
Company Overview

ProFrac Supply Agreement
On February 2, 2022, the Company entered into a Chemical Products Supply Agreement with ProFrac Services, which was subsequently amended on May 17, 2022 and February 1, 2023 (as amended, the “ProFrac Agreement”).
The ProFrac Agreement contains minimum requirements for chemistry purchases. If the minimum volume purchases are not achieved within the applicable measurement period, ProFrac Services is required to pay to the Company, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the difference between (i) the aggregate purchase price of the quantity of products comprising the minimum purchase obligation and (ii) the actual purchased volume during the measurement period (“Contract Shortfall Fees”). The measurement period for Contract Shortfall Fees during 2025 was January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. Related party revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflect Contract Shortfall Fees of $7.5 million. The current measurement period for Contract Shortfall Fees is January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The Company does not expect that the minimum purchase requirements will be met during the current measurement period, and as a result, related party revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflect Contract Shortfall Fees of $2.7 million.
Data Analytics
The Company’s Data Analytics (“DA”) segment delivers real-time information and insights to its customers designed to enable optimization of operations and reduction of emissions and their carbon intensity. The Company’s technologies are founded upon an industry leading field-deployable, in-line optical near-infrared spectrometer that measures the quality, quantity and composition of hydrocarbon flows. The instrument’s response is processed with advanced chemometrics modeling, artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to deliver valuable insights to our customers every 5-15 seconds.
The DA segment generates revenues through a combination of short and long-term equipment rentals (service revenue) and capital sales (product revenue). Customers of the DA segment span across the oil and gas industry, including oil and gas supermajors, some of the largest midstream oil and gas companies, large gas processing plants, independent exploration and production companies and oil field service companies that provide hydraulic fracturing services. We believe customers using our technology may obtain significant benefits, including additional profits, by enhancing operations in crude/condensates stabilization, enhancing blending operations, reducing time impacting transmix operations and increasing efficiencies and optimization of gas plants. The DA segment has expanded its presence in providing mobile power generation solutions which facilitates the use of significantly lower-cost field gas, as a replacement to diesel, to generate power, lower emissions and protect equipment through the continuous measurement of gas quality.
Research & Innovation
R&I supports both our business segments through chemistry formulation, specialty chemical formulations and EPA regulatory guidance, technical support, basin and reservoir studies, data analytics and new technology projects. The purpose of R&I is to supply the Company’s business segments with enhanced products and services that generate current and future revenues, while advising Company management on opportunities concerning technology, environmental and industry trends. The R&I facilities support advances in CT and DA segment performance, optimization and manufacturing. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred $0.4 million of research and development expense. The Company expects that its 2026 research and development investments will continue to support new product development, especially in support of enhanced environmental demands and customization initiatives for its clients.
Outlook
Our business is subject to numerous variables that impact our outlook and expectations given the shifting conditions of the oil and gas industry. Revenue during the first quarter of 2026 increased 27% as compared to the 2025 period. We expect to grow revenues from the CT and DA segments through the remainder of 2026, as compared to 2025. Our outlook is based upon market conditions we perceive today. The oil and gas industry is highly cyclical.
Energy Industry
The demand for oil and gas and related services fluctuates due to numerous factors including weather and macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. Despite the near-term volatility in commodity pricing, partially attributable to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and numerous supply and demand factors, we believe the fundamentals for energy-related services remain stable. Independent exploration and production companies operate the majority of U.S. land rigs and react quickly to changing commodity prices. In the current commodity price environment, we generally expect these companies, as well as major exploration and production companies, to maintain current activity levels over the next 12 months. We are continuing to monitor developments with respect to the ongoing military conflicts in the region including the impact on global commodity prices, potential shipping and logistics disruptions as well as the impact to the cost of certain raw materials.

Chemistry Technologies
The CT segment is actively advancing integrated solutions to enhance capital efficiency for exploration and production (“E&P”) operators and service companies. Our approach combines technical leadership, exceptional service quality, reliable delivery and a strong safety record. We believe that we have optimized service delivery across key North American basins and are well-positioned to adapt to fluctuations in activity levels. Based upon our results during the first quarter of 2026, and customer commitments, we anticipate stable demand for our chemistry during 2026. Our expectations are in part based upon our current outlook on oil and gas prices.
As a result of the continued growth in the exportation of natural gas, as well as the increased utilization of natural gas to generate electricity, we expect the demand for natural gas to continue to increase over the next twelve to twenty-four months. Higher natural gas prices would likely increase activity in the Haynesville shale basin, an area where we expect our established presence, expertise and capabilities could provide growth.
Internationally, we are seeing an increase in unconventional activity in the Middle East and Argentina, where we expect demand for our chemistry to grow throughout 2026. Our outlook for growth in the Middle East is subject to the resolution of the ongoing military conflicts.
We remain focused on driving innovation between the CT and DA segments, promoting opportunities in upstream applications designed to deliver enhanced efficiencies for E&P operators and service companies. We believe that these initiatives will lead to deeper integration between our CT and DA segments, creating a pathway for future growth.
Data Analytics
The use of data and digital analytics is a growing trend in industries where technology is leveraged to analyze large operational datasets to improve performance, as well as for predictive maintenance, advanced safety measures and reduction in the environmental impact of operations. We believe our suite of measurement technologies including the VERACAL ® ,Verax™, XSPCT TM and Raman analyzers have gained a foothold in North American markets for critical applications where compositional information is needed in real-time. These technologies deliver insight on valuable operational data, including vapor pressure, boiling point, flash point, octane level, API (American Petroleum Institute) gravity, viscosity, BTU (British Thermal Unit) and more, simultaneously.
To drive recurring revenue, we continue to build on the modular nature of our sensor and analysis packages with new data processing techniques designed to further enhance the value of our installations. Automated Interface Detection Algorithm (“AIDA”) provides real-time detection of interfaces in a pipeline without the need for additional sampling or chemometric modeling. Our application can identify products such as refined fuels, crude and NGLs with its advanced machine learning algorithms and detect interfaces real-time compared to traditional manual lab analysis. We believe this allows customers to cut batches quickly and accurately, reduce transmix and minimize off-spec product that requires downgrades.
As evidenced by and in connection with the transactions with ProFrac and ProFrac GDM described above under “Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 16,” we are gaining traction leveraging the Verax™ in applications where operators, service companies and power providers are using lower cost field gas as a substitute for diesel in dual fuel engines as the market moves to Tier 4 equipment and electric powered drilling rigs and frack equipment. Analyzing gas quality in real-time is designed to allow companies to maximize the field gas for diesel substitution rate providing significant cost savings while lowering emissions, reducing fuel consumption/costs and protecting equipment from damage. In addition, we believe the Acquired Assets (as described under “Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 16”) can be utilized in numerous vertical markets, including areas outside of the oil and gas industry, such as grid and emergency remote power support and power needs associated with data centers.
The Lease Agreement described under “Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 16” above has had and we expect it to continue to have a significant impact on the future financial results of our DA segment. We expect full-year 2026 revenues from just the Lease Agreement to total approximately $27.0 million, as compared to $27.5 million in total DA revenues from all sources for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The DA segment continues to innovate and enhance its hardware, software and artificial intelligence platforms. These advancements are expected to enable complex lab-grade measurements in challenging environments, which is required for oil and gas valuation at custody transfer points. The Company’s recent deployment and GPA 2172 qualification of the XSPCT analyzers, along with its proven fleet of VERAX analyzers, will support the oil and gas industry’s digital shift while enhancing transparency in valuation, taxation and commodity forecasting. We believe that the lower-cost, rugged measurement points provided by our analyzers will help pave the way for digital measurement to become the standard for custody transfer.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Overview
The Company’s working capital requirements relate to the acquisition and maintenance of equipment and funding obligations as they become due. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company funded working capital requirements with cash on hand, borrowings under the ABL (defined below) and cash flow from operations. We believe our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operating activities, which includes the impact of the PWRtek Transactions, the collection of future Contract Shortfall Fees as described below, and availability under the ABL will be sufficient to fund our capital requirements and anticipated obligations as they become due over the next twelve months.
29
However, sustained weakness in the oil and gas markets, and the resulting potential impact on our customers’ ability to pay their obligations to us in a timely manner could have a negative impact on our liquidity. In addition, the availability of capital is dependent on the Company’s operating cash flow, which is currently expected to be principally derived from the ProFrac Agreement and the Lease Agreement. The minimum purchase requirements under the ProFrac Agreement were not met during 2025 and, as a result, related party revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflect 2025 Contract Shortfall Fees totaling $27.4 million. As described in “Recent Events” above, on March 12, 2026, the Company and ProFrac entered into the OSP Agreement regarding the settlement of 2025 Contract Shortfall Fees.
The current measurement period for Contract Shortfall Fees is January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The Company does not expect that the minimum purchase requirements will be met during the current measurement period, and as a result, related party revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflect Contract Shortfall Fees of $2.7 million.
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million. In addition, as of May 1, 2026, the Company had approximately $11.8 million in available borrowings under the ABL. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had $7.6 million of operating income, $21 thousand of cash provided by operating activities, $1.0 million of cash used in investing activities and $0.9 million of cash provided by financing activities.
Asset Based Loan
In August 2023, the Company entered into a 24-month revolving loan and security agreement in connection with an Asset Based Loan, which was amended in October 2023, August 2024 and April 2025 (as amended, the “ABL”). The August 2024 amendment to the ABL extended the maturity to August 2026, increased the credit availability and lowered the interest rate spread. The ABL provides up to $20.0 million of credit availability, which is limited by a borrowing base consisting of (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) 60% of the value of eligible inventory not to exceed 100% of the eligible accounts receivable, plus (iii) 60% of the value of certain real estate holdings.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $4.7 million outstanding under the ABL. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred $1.0 million in interest and fees related to the ABL. As of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $0.1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the ABL.
Borrowings under the ABL bear interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (subject to a floor of 5.50%) plus 2.0% per annum. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the weighted-average interest rate was 8.75%. The ABL contains an annual commitment fee equal to 1.0% of the ABL’s borrowing base. Additionally, the Company will be assessed a non-usage fee of 0.25% per quarter based on the difference between the average daily outstanding balance and the borrowing base limit of the ABL. If the ABL is terminated prior to the end of its term, the Company is required to pay an early termination fee of 2.50% of the borrowing base limit of the ABL (if terminated with more than 12 months remaining until the maturity date) or 1.50% of the borrowing base limit of the ABL (if terminated with less than 12 months remaining until the maturity date).
The ABL contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lender to accelerate the payment of any amounts borrowed. The ABL requires the Company to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the ABL) of not less than $11 million. In addition, the ABL provides the lender a blanket security interest on all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, excluding the Acquired Assets.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, primarily driven by $1.0 million and $0.6 million in capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.9 million and relates primarily to $1.3 million in net proceeds from the ABL, and proceeds from the issuance of stock under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan and stock option exercises, and payments to tax authorities for shares withheld from employees. Net cash used in financing activities was $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and relates primarily to net payments on the ABL.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item 7 of the 2025 Annual Report describes the critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, the Company believes the following are critical accounting policies and estimates used in preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements due to the significant subjective and complex judgments and estimates required when preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Leases — Lessor Accounting
We lease equipment to customers under operating lease arrangements. At contract inception we perform an evaluation to determine if a lease arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. To the extent such rights of control are conveyed, we further make an assessment as to the applicable lease classification. The determination of appropriate lease classification (sales-type lease or operating lease) may require the use of management judgment, including the economic life of the leased equipment, the rate implicit in the lease used to determine the fair value of lease payments, and the fair value of leased equipment.
31
Contract Assets
The Company’s contract assets represent consideration which was issued in the form of convertible notes (Contract Consideration Convertible Notes Payable as discussed in Note 18 - “Related Party Transactions” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report) and other incremental costs related to obtaining the ProFrac Agreement in 2022. The contract assets are amortized over the term of the ProFrac Agreement based on forecasted revenues. As goods are transferred to ProFrac Services, LLC, the amortization is presented as a reduction of the transaction price included in related party revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. The contract assets are tested for recoverability on a recurring basis and the Company will recognize an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the contract assets exceeds the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in the future for the transfer of goods under the contract less the direct costs that relate to providing those goods in the future. The amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in the future for the transfer of goods under the contract and the direct costs that relate to providing those goods used in the Company’s contract assets recoverability analysis consider both historical and anticipated purchases by ProFrac over the remaining life of the ProFrac Agreement, taking into account the effect of the Contract Shortfall Fee that is payable to the Company if the annual minimum purchase obligation is not met. The Contract Shortfall Fee mitigates the impact of a failure to meet the expected annual minimum purchase obligation by providing the Company consideration to offset the gross profit lost as a result of ProFrac’s purchases not meeting the annual minimum purchase obligation. Due to the Contract Shortfall Fee, if actual purchases under the ProFrac Agreement are less than the annual minimum purchase obligation, there is negligible impact on the amount of gross profit generated by the ProFrac Agreement. As a result, the Company believes there is minimal sensitivity to amounts purchased under the ProFrac Agreement to the ProFrac Agreement’s expected profitability when considering the contract assets recoverability assessment.
