May 3, 2024

Revenue: $202 million, 9% sequential increase
Orders: $204 million and book-to-bill ratio of 101%
Net loss: $10 million and diluted EPS of $0.85
Adjusted EBITDA: $26 million, 69% sequential increase
Operating cash flow and free cash flow: $5 million and $2 million, respectively
Reaffirms full year 2024 guidance: $100 to $120 million in EBITDA and $40 to $60 million in free cash flow

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FET) today announced first quarter 2024 revenue of $202 million, a 9% sequential increase. Orders grew 28% sequentially to $204 million, with a book-to-bill ratio of 101%. The first quarter 2024 net loss was $10 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $17 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2023.

First quarter 2024 special items, on a pre-tax basis, included $6 million of transaction expenses related to the Variperm acquisition, $2 million of restructuring and other costs, and $1 million of foreign exchange loss. Excluding special items of $0.73 per diluted share, the quarter’s adjusted net loss was $0.12 per diluted share compared to the fourth quarter 2023 adjusted net loss of $0.39 per diluted share. See Tables 1-3 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

In the first quarter 2024, following the Variperm acquisition, we aligned our reportable segments with business activity drivers, our customer base, and the manner in which we review and evaluate operating performance. FET now operates in the following two reportable segments: (1) Drilling and Completions and (2) Artificial Lift and Downhole. Please see the attached supplemental schedules for the product lines making up each segment. Our historical results of operations were recast retrospectively to reflect these changes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Neal Lux, President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “This quarter our financial results demonstrate Variperm’s transformational impact. Sequentially, we grew revenue 9%, increased EBITDA 69% and expanded EBITDA margins by 460 basis points.

“The integration of Variperm is going well. Variperm’s first quarter results were generally in line with our expectations, but slightly lower than the historical run rate. As outlined in February, we forecast a softer Canadian market in the first half of 2024, driven by uncertainty with the Trans Mountain Express pipeline and seasonal break up. However, we anticipate stronger oil sands activity in the back half of the year.

“We increased free cash flow by $26 million on a year-over-year basis through Variperm’s contribution and working capital management. Generating free cash flow remains a top priority. In addition to reducing net leverage, it provides flexibility to evaluate further growth options and return cash to shareholders.

“Our 2024 market outlook remains unchanged. Therefore, we reaffirm our full year 2024 guidance of $100 to $120 million in adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow between $40 and $60 million. We anticipate second quarter adjusted EBITDA in the range of $24 to $28 million, with flat U.S. and international market activity, and lower Canadian demand due to the seasonal impact of break up.”

Segment Results (unless otherwise noted, comparisons are first quarter 2024 versus fourth quarter 2023)

Drilling and Completions segment revenue was $119 million, a 6% decrease, primarily related to two ROV projects completed in the fourth quarter 2023, lower demand for drilling capital equipment, and decreased international coiled tubing sales. However, sales for stimulation-related capital equipment, treating iron, and wireline cables increased during the quarter. Orders were $117 million, a 2% increase, primarily due to drilling and hydraulic fracturing demand. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $14 million, a 13% increase, resulting from favorable product mix. The Drilling and Completions segment operations focus primarily on capital equipment and consumable products for global drilling operations, subsea, coiled tubing, wireline, and stimulation markets.

Artificial Lift and Downhole segment revenue was $83 million, a 42% increase, related to revenue contributed from the acquired Variperm business and an increase in artificial lift and casing equipment sales, partially offset by a decline in sales of our processing equipment and valve products. Orders were $88 million, a 89% increase, primarily related to the addition of Variperm and increased production equipment bookings. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $18 million, a 107% increase, mainly due to revenue contributed from the acquired Variperm business. The Artificial Lift and Downhole segment engineers, manufactures, and supplies products for well construction, artificial lift, and oil and natural gas processing.

⁽²⁾ The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA is useful to the Company’s investors because EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the Company’s operating performance and liquidity that reflects the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the business, strengthening the balance sheet, repurchasing the Company’s securities and making strategic acquisitions. In addition, EBITDA is a widely used benchmark in the investment community. See the attached separate schedule for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

⁽¹⁾ The book-to-bill ratio is calculated by dividing the dollar value of orders received in a given period by the revenue earned in that same period. The Company believes that this ratio is useful to investors because it provides an indication of whether the demand for our products is strengthening or declining. A ratio of greater than one is indicative of improving market demand, while a ratio of less than one would suggest weakening demand. In addition, the Company believes the book-to-bill ratio provides more meaningful insight into future revenues for our business than other measures, such as order backlog, because the majority of the Company’s products are activity based consumable items or shorter cycle capital equipment, neither of which are typically ordered by customers far in advance.

⁽¹⁾ The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted EPS are useful to the Company’s investors because (i) each of these financial metrics are useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the Company’s normal operating results and (ii) EBITDA is an appropriate measure of evaluating the company’s operating performance and liquidity that reflects the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the business, strengthening the balance sheet, repurchasing the Company’s securities and making strategic acquisitions. In addition, these benchmarks are widely used in the investment community. See the attached separate schedule for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.
⁽²⁾ Foreign exchange, net primarily relates to cash and receivables denominated in U.S. dollars by some of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that report in a local currency, and therefore the loss (gain) has no economic impact in dollar terms.

⁽²⁾ The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA is useful to the Company’s investors because EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the Company’s operating performance and liquidity that reflects the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the business, strengthening the balance sheet, repurchasing the Company’s securities and making strategic acquisitions. In addition, EBITDA is a widely used benchmark in the investment community. See the attached separate schedule for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

⁽¹⁾ The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted EPS are useful to the Company’s investors because (i) each of these financial metrics are useful to investors to assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing those results with previous and subsequent periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of the Company’s normal operating results and (ii) EBITDA is an appropriate measure of evaluating the company’s operating performance and liquidity that reflects the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the business, strengthening the balance sheet, repurchasing the Company’s securities and making strategic acquisitions. In addition, these benchmarks are widely used in the investment community. See the attached separate schedule for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.
⁽²⁾ Foreign exchange, net primarily relates to cash and receivables denominated in U.S. dollars by some of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that report in a local currency, and therefore the loss (gain) has no economic impact in dollar terms.
