Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FET) today announced fourth quarter 2025 revenue of $202.2 million and net income of $2.1 million or $0.17 per diluted share. Adjusted for $2.9 million of foreign tax settlement, asset impairments, restructuring costs and other items, adjusted net income was $5.0 million or approximately $0.41 per diluted share.¹

Neal Lux, President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "2025 was another great step forward and further positioned FET to deliver the 2030 vision. Our commercial efforts and innovation focus supplied meaningful bookings and backlog growth. Entering 2026, our backlog of $312 million is the highest in 11 years and 46% greater than a year ago. Nearly 12% of our backlog is from products developed in the last few years. These results are driven by the execution of our "Beat the Market" strategy. We are gaining market share and leveraging our global footprint.

"Our financial performance accelerated through the second half of the year, with EBITDA up nearly 13% compared to the prior six months. Higher EBITDA, along with working capital efficiency and asset monetization, generated full year free cash flow of $80 million. In line with our capital allocation framework, we repurchased 11% of our total shares outstanding and reduced net debt by 28%.

"In 2026, we believe global market activity will remain relatively flat. However, we expect revenue and EBITDA growth, supported by strong backlog, structural cost reductions, and market share gains. Our execution in 2026 will keep us on track for FET 2030."

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

Drilling and Completions revenue was $127 million, an 8% increase, primarily related to strong demand for drilling-related capital equipment for international markets, subsea ROVs, and coiled line pipe. Adjusted EBITDA was $12 million. Book-to-bill was 84%, coming off strong orders for ROVs and drilling-related capital equipment in the prior quarter that did not recur. Drilling and Completions provides consumable products and capital equipment for drilling, subsea, coiled tubing, wireline, and stimulation markets.

Artificial Lift and Downhole revenue was $75 million, a 4% decrease, primarily related to lower volumes of production equipment and technologies. However, adjusted EBITDA was relatively flat at $17 million, due to favorable product mix for sand and flow control products. Book-to-bill was 107%, due to large orders for production-related equipment. Artificial Lift and Downhole engineers, manufactures, and supplies products for well construction, artificial lift, and oil and natural gas processing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company presents its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that non-GAAP measures are useful tools for evaluating the Company's overall financial performance. Not all companies define these measures in the same way. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for those prepared in accordance with GAAP and should, therefore, be considered only as a supplement. Please see the attached schedules for reconciliations between GAAP and the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release. The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income because items that impact GAAP net income, such as restructuring charges, transaction expenses, and foreign exchange losses (gains), cannot be reasonably predicted.

Forward Looking Statements and Other Legal Disclosure

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

⁽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.
