The Production Technologies segment has been acquired for total consideration of $2.9 million by an undisclosed buyer, as of May 23, 2017. Flotek's current pro-forma debt is approximately $27 million, reduced from a balance of $49.7 million at first quarter's end.

Our liquidity and cash flow profile have materially improved, allowing financial flexibility to reduce outstanding debt, but also provide Flotek with the ability to execute on growth opportunities.
