The Complaint alleges that defendants made a series of materially false or misleading statements about Flotek's business, prospects and operations during the Class Period. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose the following adverse facts: (a) that the Company was experiencing weakness in its Rocky Mountain sales region due to its decision to not cut prices to the level of its competitors; (b) that the Company's operating profit margins were being negatively impacted as customers increasingly opted to rent equipment instead of purchasing it; (c) that sales in the Company's chemicals division were declining due to a decrease in fracking activity; and (d) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements concerning the Company's guidance and prospects were lacking in a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
