Flowco (NYSE:FLOC) Posts Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.49 EPS

Flowco (NYSE:FLOC) released its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The company reported $0.73 EPS for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of $0.24 by $0.49, Zacks reports. Flowco had a net margin of 6.21% and a return on equity of 220.17%.

Here are the key takeaways from Flowco’s conference call:

• Flowco delivered a strong quarter and year — Q4 Adjusted EBITDA was $83.5M, full‑year Adjusted EBITDA grew ~11% vs. pro forma 2024, rental revenue topped $110M in Q4, and the company generated $63M of free cash flow while reducing leverage below pre‑August levels.
• Flowco agreed to acquire Valiant for roughly $200M (≈$170M cash + ~1.5M shares), a deal expected to add ~ $52M of 2026 Adjusted EBITDA, broaden ESP capabilities (expanding lower‑48 TAM by ~70%), and close in early March with pro forma leverage targeted below 1.0x.
• Continued investment in the HPGL and VRU rental fleets is driving higher‑margin, recurring revenue and margin expansion — full‑year 2025 CapEx was $127M and 2026 CapEx (ex‑M&A) is guided to ~ $115M to support further rental growth.
• Q1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA is guided to $82M–$86M, the company declared a $0.08 quarterly dividend, and Flowco emphasizes using strong free cash flow and available credit capacity to fund growth and further deleveraging.
• Segment margin pressure emerged in Natural Gas Technologies (a ~634 bps decline in segment EBITDA margin) due to a revenue mix shift toward lower‑margin sales, and corporate expenses are expected to rise to $18M–$20M in 2026.
