Management Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Dr. Ryan Ezell commented, “We are pleased to report another quarter of outstanding safety, service quality and financial results. We continue to gain momentum and market share with the execution of our strategy, despite a challenging upstream market. Revenue from our Data Analytics segment grew 30% in the third quarter, a continuation of the strong growth of 22% in the second quarter. Our new upstream Data Analytics’ applications, including flare monitoring, were a catalyst for revenue growth this quarter.  Following the EPA’s approval of our JP3 analyzer in mid-July, we recognized our first revenues from flare monitoring in August and September, which comprised 25% of total quarterly segment revenues. We expect to see further growth in flare monitoring revenues during the fourth quarter. Revenue from our chemistry segment increased 7% in the third quarter, a continuation of the growth in the prior quarter. Our persistent revenue growth in our chemistry segment, despite a declining frac fleet market, is clear evidence that we are gaining market share through our differentiated chemistry technology solutions. 

In terms of profitability, adjusted EBITDA during the third quarter improved for the eighth consecutive quarter and, as a result, we are increasing our adjusted EBITDA guidance for the second time this year.  Over the first nine months of 2024, we reported adjusted EBITDA of $13.3 million, as compared to ($2.5) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This $15.8 million improvement reflects the continued positive trajectory of the Company and the hard work and dedication  of the Flotek employees.”   

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue: Flotek reported total revenues of $49.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, which was an increase of $2.5 million, or 5% compared to the third quarter of 2023. Third quarter revenue increased 8% sequentially driven by a 7% sequential increase in Chemistry revenues and a 30% sequential increase in Data Analytics’ revenue. Data Analytics segment revenue totaled $2.7 million during the third quarter of 2024, of which 25% was attributed to Flotek’s new proprietary flare measurement application.Gross Profit: The Company generated gross profit of $9.1 million with a margin of 18% during the third quarter 2024, as compared to gross profit of $9.0 million with a margin of 19% for the third quarter 2023. Gross profit margin during the third quarter of 2024 was lower than the 2023 period as a result of a shift in chemistry product mix as well as lower revenue during the 2024 period related to the minimum chemistry purchase requirements contained in the Company’s long-term supply agreement. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in gross profit from the Company’s Data Analytics segment, which contributed $1.2 million to third quarter 2024 gross profit, a 46% increase from the year ago quarter.Adjusted Gross Profit (Non-GAAP)(1): Flotek generated adjusted gross profit of $10.7 million during the third quarter 2024 compared to adjusted gross profit of $10.3 million for the third quarter 2023. Adjusted gross profit excludes non-cash items, primarily amortization of contract assets.Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expense: SG&A expense totaled $5.7 million for the third quarter 2024 compared to $6.5 million for the third quarter 2023. The improvement was the result of lower personnel costs and professional fee expenses during the 2024 period.Net Income and EPS: Flotek reported net income of $2.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2024. This compares to a net income of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2023.Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)(1): Adjusted EBITDA was $4.8 million in the third quarter 2024 as compared to $3.4 million in the third quarter 2023. Third quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA marked the eighth consecutive quarter of improvement.

We are unable to reconcile this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts, as we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the impact of certain items that would be expected to impact the GAAP financial measure, including, among other items, the future amortization of our contract assets, certain stock-based compensation costs and the impact of the revaluation of certain liabilities, which is based upon our future stock price. These items do not impact the non-GAAP financial measure.

Management believes that adjusted gross profit, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, are useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods.  Management views the income and expenses noted above to be outside of the Company’s normal operating results.  Management analyzes operating results without the impact of the above items as an indicator of performance, to identify underlying trends in the business and cash flow from continuing operations, and to establish financial and operational goals, excluding certain non-cash or non-recurring items.

MatchMove Receives Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Asia-Pacific Cross-Border Payment and Remittance Solution Technology Innovation Leadership and 2026 Singapore Embedded Finance Company of the Year Recognitions for Advancing Embedded Finance and Cross-Border Payment Innovation

Published

on

By

The company is recognized for its leadership in embedded finance, cross-border payments, and programmable financial infrastructure, enabling enterprises to accelerate digital transformation across Asia-Pacific.

SAN ANTONIO, July 20, 2026 /CNW/ — Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that MatchMove has received the 2026 Asia-Pacific Cross-Border Payment and Remittance Solution Technology Innovation Leadership and 2026 Singapore Embedded Finance Company of the Year recognitions in the fintech and digital financial services industry for its outstanding achievements in technology innovation and customer impact. These recognitions highlight MatchMove’s leadership in transforming embedded finance and cross-border payments through a scalable banking-as-a-service (BaaS) platform that simplifies financial services while empowering enterprises to innovate with confidence.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. MatchMove excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to anticipate market evolution, align innovation with customer needs, and deliver scalable financial infrastructure across diverse markets. “MatchMove empowers enterprises with a unified platform for digital wallets, card issuance, remittance, multi-currency settlement, and Web 3.0, enabling seamless and compliant global money movement,” said Dewi Rengganis, Senior Industry Analyst, ICT at Frost & Sullivan.

Guided by a long-term growth strategy centered on digital innovation, ecosystem partnerships, and platform expansion, MatchMove continues to redefine how enterprises embed financial capabilities into their products and services across Asia-Pacific.

The company’s strategic agility and sustained investment in API-first infrastructure, programmable finance, and compliance-by-design have helped it scale efficiently across multiple markets. Its unified BaaS platform combines cross-border payments, card issuance, virtual accounts, fund collection, and payout capabilities into a single ecosystem, allowing businesses to reduce operational complexity, accelerate deployment, and launch scalable financial solutions through one integration.

“Earning both recognitions in the same year reflects what we care about most — that our platform works at the speed our customers need. Every day, enterprises across Asia-Pacific use MatchMove to issue cards, move money across borders, and embed financial services into their products without becoming a bank themselves. That’s a hard problem to solve at scale across multiple regulatory regimes and currencies, and we’ve spent years engineering it to feel simple. This recognition from Frost & Sullivan tells the market that MatchMove is the partner of choice for enterprises serious about accelerating digital transformation through embedded finance,” said Amar Abrol, President and Co-founder, MatchMove.

By simplifying financial services through a single integration point, embedding compliance directly into platform architecture, and allowing intelligent payment orchestration across global corridors, MatchMove continues to address the evolving needs of enterprises, financial institutions, and digital platforms. Its modular architecture, broad application capabilities, and focus on operational efficiency have enabled customers to deploy innovative financial products significantly faster while supporting expansion across more than 200 countries and territories.

Frost & Sullivan commends MatchMove for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. The company’s vision, technology leadership, and customer-first approach are shaping the future of embedded finance and cross-border payment infrastructure while enabling businesses to deliver seamless digital financial experiences at scale.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Technology Innovation Leadership recognition to a company that demonstrates exceptional technological advancement and commercialization, resulting in meaningful market impact and competitive differentiation.

Saber Astronautics releases new spacecraft constellation control and automation software SABER COMMANDER

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Saber Astronautics today announced the release of Saber Commander, its new spacecraft and constellation operations software.

Saber Commander builds on the operational heritage of the Predictive Ground station Interface (PIGI), recognised in the space industry for pioneering techniques in digital twin and machine learning to manage individual satellites. Saber Commander preserves that foundational heritage while supporting increasingly complex satellites, constellations, and mission requirements in the modern space age.

Originally developed in 2010 and released in 2012, PIGI pioneered new capabilities as Saber’s flagship operations software. Listed as a NASA Spinout, it was the first product globally to successfully solve spacecraft diagnostics using machine learning, allowing operators to learn the root cause of health problems on a spacecraft. 

PIGI represented a new generation of software leading efforts to visualise satellite constellations and was the first Unity game engine digital twin to receive fielding authority by the US Space Force.  This eventually led to the production of Saber’s Space Battle Management System (SBMS) which now serves as the protect-and-defend tool accepted across US Space Force Combat Command Deltas.

“PIGI was about reducing the barrier to entry to satellites, making it easier and safer to fly” said Dr. Jason Held, CEO of Saber Astronautics. “Saber Commander carries that heritage forward, with new automation, visualization, and operational scale that modern satellite constellations require.”

Developed in close collaboration with Saber’s own satellite operators, Saber Commander reflects the company’s direct operational experience through its Responsive Space Operations Centres (RSOC), in Australia and the United States. Saber currently controls 36 tonnes of spacecraft in orbit, giving the company daily exposure to the real pressures faced by mission teams.

That experience shaped Saber Commander around practical needs: faster situational awareness, clearer decision support, reduced manual workload, and automation.

 “Saber Commander takes everything we learned from our first generation of products and turned it into a platform built for the realities of modern space operations,” says Chris Schuck, Head of Product Engineering. “Larger fleets and congested orbits demand a smarter approach. We designed Commander hand-in-hand with operators to bring automation, commanding, monitoring, and situational awareness together into a single platform to reduce operator workload while giving greater confidence and control. I’m incredibly proud of what our team has built, and excited to see what our customers achieve with it.”

How Curb Flow Is Driving Growth for Ride Demand and Technology Partners Across the US, UK and Canada

New data from GoRide partnership shows drivers on Curb Flow spend 26% more time on trips and complete 16% more hired miles

LONDON, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Curb, a leading mobility technology provider specialising in metered taxi payment systems, dispatch platforms and demand aggregation solutions, is opening its Curb Flow network to new demand and technology partners across the US, UK and Canada following the full public launch of Curb Flow in London. With the North American network already at scale and London now live, Curb is releasing new data from its GoRide partnership in Washington DC that demonstrates the impact of connecting supply partners to aggregated demand through a single platform.

Curb Flow enables taxi fleets and technology providers, including those operating their own meter and dispatch systems, to integrate with the platform and gain access to demand from sources including Uber, Curb’s consumer app, Taxi Butler, HQ and Gridd. The open integration model means drivers and fleets using existing technology systems can join the network without switching platforms.

GoRide is a taxi technology system provider operating in Washington DC that integrated into Curb Flow as a supply partner, giving its drivers access to Curb Flow’s ride demand. The partnership demonstrates how taxi technology providers with their own systems can connect to the Curb Flow network to unlock additional trip volume for their drivers. In Washington DC, Curb Flow now accounts for nearly half of all trips completed by participating drivers, with some GoRide drivers completing more than 650 trips per month.

These results reflect broader performance across the Curb Flow network. Drivers using the platform spend 26% more time on trips and complete 16% more hired miles, while Curb’s nationwide booking volume has quadrupled since 2023.

Dorel Tamam, Vice President of the Mobile Business Unit at Curb, says: “With Curb Flow now live in London, we are opening the network to additional partners, regardless if they run their own system or not. The results show what happens when you remove the barriers to consistent, aggregated demand and supply.”

The GoRide partnership has become one of the strongest proof points for the Curb Flow model in North America, with consistent month-over-month growth in trip volume and driver participation since launch. That track record is now informing how Curb approaches new supply partnerships in the UK market.

Ermias Wosenu, CEO and Founder GoRide, says: “Integrating with Curb Flow gave our drivers access to a significant new source of demand without requiring them to change how they work. The volume of trips through the platform has grown consistently since we launched, and it has been a straightforward way for us to expand what we can offer our drivers.”

Curb Flow launched in London in March and is currently operating with an initial network of supply and demand partners, bringing additional trip opportunities to black cab drivers through a single platform.

Operators and technology providers ready to join the next phase of Curb Flow in London can find out more and register their interest at https://www.gocurb.co.uk/curb-flow.

Notes to Editors

Curb analysed the data from operating cabs during March 2026 in the Washington DC district.
