The Company’s board of directors (“Board of Directors”) is authorized to direct the Company to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and its discretion to determine the number and designation of such series and the powers, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. Through March 31, 2026, no series of preferred stock have been issued.

Holders of shares of Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock. Upon dissolution or liquidation, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of shares of Class A common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata the remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of shares of Class A common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption, or conversion rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock.

Except in certain limited circumstances, holders of Class B common stock do not have any right to receive dividends or to receive a distribution upon dissolution or liquidation. Additionally, holders of shares of Class B common stock do not have preemptive, subscription or redemption rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class B common stock. Any amendment of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation that gives holders of Class B common stock (1) any rights to receive dividends or any other kind of distribution, (2) any right to convert into or be exchanged for shares of Class A common stock, or (3) any other economic rights (except for payments in cash-in-lieu of receipt of fractional stock) will require, in addition to any stockholder approval required by applicable law, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock voting separately as a class. The Company must, at all times, maintain (i) a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by the Company and the number of LLC Interests owned by the Company, and (ii) maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class

B common stock owned by the Continuing Equity Owners and the number of LLC Interests owned by such Continuing Equity Owners.

Shares of Class B common stock will be issued in the future only to the extent necessary to maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of LLC Interests held by the Continuing Equity Owners and the number of shares of Class B common stock issued to the Continuing Equity Owners. Shares of Class B common stock are transferable only together with an equal number of LLC Interests. Only permitted transferees of LLC Interests held by the Continuing Equity Owners will be permitted transferees of Class B common stock. Shares of Class B common stock are automatically transferred to Flowco Holdings upon the redemption or exchange of their LLC Interests pursuant to the terms of the Flowco LLC Agreement and such shares of Class B common stock will be canceled and may not be reissued.

The LLC Interests held by Continuing Equity Owners include a redemption right which may be settled by the Company, through the (1) issuance of a new share of Class A common stock for each LLC Interest redeemed or (2) settled by cash proceeds received from a qualifying offering of Class A common stock. The LLC Interests are classified as temporary equity as the cash settlements are not at the sole discretion of the Company.

Redemptions of LLC Interests

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, certain Continuing Equity Owners redeemed 12,041,729 of their Common Units of Flowco LLC, along with their corresponding shares of Class B common stock, in exchange for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock. Simultaneously, and in connection with these exchanges and redemptions, the Company canceled the exchanged shares of Class B common stock. As a result, the exchanged and redeemed LLC Interests are now considered to be within the control of the Company for accounting purposes, and the redeemable non-controlling interest associated with these redeemed shares was reclassified from temporary equity to permanent equity in the three months ended March 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company holds a 46.3% economic interest in Flowco LLC through its ownership of 41,816,350 LLC Interests but consolidates Flowco LLC as sole managing member. The remaining 48,521,254 LLC Interests, representing an 53.7% interest, are held by the Continuing Equity Owners.

Share Repurchase Program

On June 11, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized a $50 million share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) to reacquire shares via open market purchase, privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of shares and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The timing of purchases and the number of shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program will depend on a variety of factors including price, trading volume, market conditions and corporate and regulatory requirements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 780,000 shares of Class A common stock under the Repurchase Program at an average price of $21.18 per share for a total cost of $16.5 million inclusive of commissions and fees. Accrued excise taxes from these repurchases were $0.2 million and is included within accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2026, all repurchased shares had been canceled and retired, resulting in a permanent reduction in both the number of shares outstanding and the Company’s total stockholders’ equity.

As of March 31, 2026, the remaining total available authorization under the Repurchase Program was approximately $18.2 million.

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests

After the IPO, the Company became the sole managing member of Flowco LLC, and has the sole voting interest in, and control of the management of, Flowco LLC. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of Flowco LLC. The redeemable non-controlling interests on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets represents the economic interest in Flowco LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners, adjusted to equal the greater of (i) the carrying value of the redeemable non-controlling interest adjusted each reporting period for income or loss attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interest or (ii) the redemption value. The redemption value is calculated based on the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average prices of Class A common stock on the trading day immediately prior to the end of each reporting period. Remeasurements to the redemption value of the redeemable non-controlling interest are performed at each reporting period and any required adjustments are recorded as an allocation between permanent equity and temporary equity within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The portion of the net income or loss attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest is reported as net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The ownership of the LLC Interests as of March 31, 2026, is summarized as follows:

Distributions to Members

As a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, Flowco LLC does not incur significant federal, state or local income taxes, as these taxes are primarily the obligations of its members. Under the LLC Agreement, Flowco LLC is required to distribute cash, to the extent that Flowco LLC has cash available, on a pro rata basis to its members, including the Company, to the extent necessary to cover the Company’s tax liabilities, if any, with respect to each member’s share of Flowco LLC’s taxable earnings. Additionally, the Company may also, from time to time, make supplemental tax distributions to the extent a member, other than the Company, has an assumed tax liability in excess of the distributions made; however, these supplemental distributions must be made on a pro rata basis to all members, including the Company.
