Adjusted net income: $3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share

2025 full year free cash flow guidance increased: $70 - $80 million

Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FET) today announced third quarter 2025 revenue of $196 million and net loss of $21 million or $1.76 per diluted share. Adjusted for $22 million of asset impairments and restructuring costs, and $5 million of tax valuation allowance reserve, partially offset by $4 million of sale leaseback transaction gain, adjusted net income was $3 million or approximately $0.27 per diluted share.¹

Neal Lux, President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "Our team achieved another strong quarter, demonstrating why FET is a great company and even better investment. We extended our track record of outperformance, delivered significant capital returns, and believe we remain an incredible value while poised for long-term growth.

"Our ‘Beat the Market' strategy drove strong bookings and meaningful backlog growth. Revenue and EBITDA were at the high end of our guidance range. Our commercial and product development efforts allowed us to grow market share in a challenging environment. In addition, we exceeded free cash flow expectations and are raising 2025 guidance to between $70 and $80 million.

"By utilizing our global footprint, we generated strong bookings in the offshore and international markets, increasing backlog 21%. In addition, we accelerated cost savings efforts in the quarter, extending our annualized target by 50% to $15 million. We forecast fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA in the range of $19 to $23 million. Looking further ahead, we expect that our strong backlog, anticipated market share gains, and cost reductions will provide a tailwind in 2026.

"FET executed significant capital returns through further net debt reductions and share repurchases. We achieved our expected year-end net leverage ratio of 1.3 times ahead of schedule. Year-to-date through September, we repurchased 8% of our outstanding shares. Even after this year's stock price appreciation of around 100%, we believe FET's free cash flow yield remains attractive."

Segment Results (unless otherwise noted, comparisons are third quarter 2025 versus second quarter 2025)

Drilling and Completions segment revenue was $117 million, flat sequentially. Strong sales of wireline products, heat transfer units, coiled line pipe, and subsea ROVs were offset by lower consumable product sales. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $12 million, a 3% increase, due to favorable product mix and cost savings. Book-to-bill was 129% with strong orders for ROVs, drilling capital equipment, wireline cables, and heat transfer units. The Drilling and Completions segment provides consumable products and capital equipment for drilling, subsea, coiled tubing, wireline, and stimulation markets.

Artificial Lift and Downhole segment revenue was $79 million, a 4% decrease. Lower downhole casing equipment and processing technologies sales drove a decrease that was partially offset by higher revenue from valve and sand control products. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $17 million, a 2% increase, due to favorable product mix and cost savings. Book-to-bill was 112%, with awards for sand control products to support an extended drilling program for a large Canadian customer. The Artificial Lift and Downhole segment engineers, manufactures, and supplies products for well construction, artificial lift, and oil and natural gas processing.

⁽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 our 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 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 normal operating results and (ii) EBITDA is an appropriate measure of evaluating operating performance and liquidity that reflects the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the business, strengthening the balance sheet, repurchasing 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.

⁽¹⁾ The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted EPS are useful to investors because (i) they assist with assessing and understanding 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 operating performance and liquidity that reflects the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the business, strengthening the balance sheet, repurchasing 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.

Total book to bill ratio		1.22			0.99			1.32

⁽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 our 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 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 normal operating results and (ii) EBITDA is an appropriate measure of evaluating operating performance and liquidity that reflects the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the business, strengthening the balance sheet, repurchasing 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.
