Flotek Industries, Inc. Revises 2007 Earnings Guidance

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - January 23, 2008) - Flotek Industries, Inc. (NYSE: FTK), a technology-driven growth company serving the oil, gas, and mining industries, today revised its previously announced guidance for the year ending December 31, 2007. The Company expects revenues for the 2007 year to be approximately $158 million, generating earnings in the range of approximately $0.88 to $0.92 per diluted share, as compared to prior guidance of $1.00 per diluted share, and actual earnings of $0.61 per diluted share in 2006. The revised guidance is preliminary and subject to audit. Flotek expects to release final results for the fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2007 on March 12, 2008.

During the fourth quarter, which historically has been one of Flotek's strongest quarters, revenues were lower than anticipated due to a general slowdown in North American fracturing activity and drilling activity, accompanied by weather disruptions in the mid-continent region. Monthly revenue in October was the highest in the history of the Company, with results slowing significantly in the subsequent holiday months. In addition, general and administrative expenses are expected to be approximately 30% higher in the fourth quarter of 2007 than in the third quarter of 2007, related to increases for completing Sarbanes-Oxley initiatives, computing systems upgrades/conversions, and final implementation of the RTMS (rental tool management system). All of these administrative upgrades are expected to create enhanced control and efficiency during 2008.

Jerry Dumas, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President, commented, "The growth fundamentals of our core businesses remain sound, and the pace of North American oilfield service activity seems to be strengthening in January. We believe the business line additions of the last several years will continue contributing to growth in 2008 and beyond as these businesses are integrated and ramp-up matures. We have made a significant investment in 2007 to strengthen our internal controls and expand our information technology processing capability. We anticipate the costs associated with these initiatives to level off in 2008."
