Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “FET®,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is a global manufacturing company serving the oil, natural gas, industrial and renewable energy industries. With headquarters located in Houston, Texas, FET provides value added solutions that increase the safety and efficiency of energy exploration and production.
Basis of Presentation
The Company's accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In management's opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or any other interim period.
These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), which the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes (Topic 740). In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which improves income tax disclosures. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This update should be applied prospectively but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40). In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 to improve financial reporting by requiring entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted, and this update may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Revenue
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policies, refer to the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Disaggregated Revenue

Contract Balances
Contract balances are determined on a contract by contract basis. Contract assets represent revenue recognized for goods and services provided to our customers when payment is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Similarly, the Company records a contract liability when we receive consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. Such contract liabilities typically result from billings in excess of costs incurred on construction contracts and advance payments received on product sales.
The following table reflects the changes in our contract assets and contract liabilities balances for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (in thousands):
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | Increase (Decrease) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| $ | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accrued revenue | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Deferred revenue | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Billings in excess of costs and profits recognized | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Contract liabilities | $ | $ | $ | % | |||||||||||||||||||
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our contract assets decreased by $0.3 million and our contract liabilities increased $1.7 million primarily due to the timing of milestone billings for projects in our Subsea product line.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $5.4 million of revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period.
4. Inventories
The Company's significant components of inventory at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

2029 Bonds
The 10.5 % senior secured bonds due 2029 (“2029 Bonds”) were issued pursuant to the Bond Terms, dated as of November 5, 2024 (“Bond Terms”), between the Company and Nordic Trustee AS, as bond trustee and security agent (“Bond Trustee”). The 2029 Bonds are the Company’s senior secured obligations and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that guarantees its Credit Facility and certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.
The 2029 Bonds will mature on November 7, 2029. Interest on the 2029 Bonds will accrue at a rate of 10.5 % per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on May 7 and November 7 of each year in cash, beginning May 7, 2025. Prepayment of the 2029 Bonds prior to May 7, 2027 requires the payment of make-whole amounts, and prepayments on or after that date are subject to prepayment premiums that decline over time.
The 2029 Bonds contain the following financial covenants: (i) a maximum leverage ratio of 4.0 x; and (ii) a minimum liquidity test equal to $25.0 million, in each case, for the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Bond Terms also contain certain equity cure rights with respect to such financial covenants. The 2029 Bonds are also subject to negative covenants as set forth in the Bond Terms. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of its 2029 Bonds financial covenants.
Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, as specified in the Bond Terms, each holder of the 2029 Bonds will have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or some of such holder’s 2029 Bonds in cash at a purchase price equal to 101 % of the aggregate principal amount thereof.
The Bond Terms contain certain customary events of default, including, among other things: (i) default in the payment of any amount when due; (ii) default in the performance or breach of any other covenant in the Finance Documents, as defined in the Bond Terms, which default continues uncured for a period of 20 business days after the earlier of (1) the Company’s actual knowledge of such event or (2) the Company’s receipt of notice from the Bond Trustee; and (iii) certain voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company.
Credit Facility
Our senior secured asset-based lending facility (“Credit Facility”) matures on the earliest of (a) September 8, 2028 and (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the 2029 Bonds (which will not apply if the 2029 Bonds are repaid prior to such 91st day). The Credit Facility provides revolving credit commitments of $250.0 million (with a sublimit of up to $70.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries) (the “U.S. Line”), of which up to $50.0 million is available to certain of our Canadian subsidiaries for loans in U.S. or Canadian dollars (with a sublimit of up to $10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of our Canadian subsidiaries) (the “Canadian Line”). Lender commitments under the Credit Facility, subject to certain limitations, may be increased by an additional $100.0 million.

Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to eligible accounts receivable in the U.S., Canada and certain other jurisdictions (subject to a cap) and eligible inventory in the U.S. and Canada. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be reduced or eliminated, depending on future fluctuations in our receivables and inventory. As of March 31, 2025, our total borrowing base was $168.5 million, of which $73.8 million amount was drawn and $17.3 million was used as security for outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining availability of $77.4 million.
Borrowings under the U.S. Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), subject to a floor of 0.00 %, plus a margin of 2.25 % to 2.75 %, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25 % to 1.75 %, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly total net leverage ratio. The U.S. Line base rate is determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 % per annum, (ii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00 % per annum, and (iii) the “prime rate” of interest announced by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, subject to a floor of 0.00 %.
Borrowings under the Canadian Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at our Canadian borrowers’ option, either (a) Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”), subject to a floor of 0.00 %, plus a margin of 2.25 % to 2.75 %, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25 % to 1.75 %, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly net leverage ratio. The Canadian Line base rate is determined by reference to the greater of (i) the one-month CORRA plus 1.00 % per annum and (ii) the prime rate for Canadian dollar commercial loans made in Canada as reported by Thomson Reuters, subject to a floor of 0.00 %.
The weighted average interest rate under the Credit Facility was approximately 7.55 % and 8.34 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Credit Facility also provides for a commitment fee in the amount of (a) 0.375 % on the unused portion of revolving commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is greater than 50 % and (b) 0.500 % on the unused portion of revolving commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50 %.
If excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below the greater of 12.5 % of the borrowing base and $31.25 million, we will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 :1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter until excess availability under the Credit Facility exceeds such threshold for 60 consecutive days.
Subject to customary exceptions, all obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries and, in the case of the Canadian Line, our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all assets of each such entity and the Company, subject to customary exclusions.
The Credit Facility contains various covenants that, among other things, limit our ability (none of which are absolute) to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, grant certain liens, make certain loans and investments, pay dividends, make distributions or make other restricted payments, enter into mergers or acquisitions unless certain conditions are satisfied, change our lines of business, prepay certain indebtedness, enter into certain affiliate transactions or engage in certain asset dispositions.
If an event of default exists under the Credit Facility, the lenders will have the right to accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility and exercise other rights and remedies. Obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility, however, will be automatically accelerated upon an event of default arising from a bankruptcy or insolvency event. An event of default includes, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts within certain grace periods; representations and warranties proving to be untrue in any material respect; failure to perform or otherwise comply with covenants in the Credit Facility or other loan documents, subject, in certain instances, to grace periods; cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness if such default occurs at the final maturity of such indebtedness or if the effect of such default is to cause, or permit the holders of such indebtedness to cause, the acceleration of such indebtedness; bankruptcy or insolvency events; material monetary judgment defaults; invalidity or unenforceability of the Credit Facility or any other loan document; and the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Facility).
As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of its Credit Facility financial covenants.

Other Debt
Other debt consists of various finance leases of equipment.
Letters of Credit and Guarantees
We execute letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure the delivery of product from specific vendors and also to guarantee our fulfillment of performance obligations relating to certain large contracts. The Company had $17.3 million and $17.8 million in total outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
7. Income Taxes
For interim periods, our income tax expense or benefit is computed based on our estimated annual effective tax rate and any discrete items that impact the interim periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a tax expense of $3.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rates for all periods were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction. Finally, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of approximately $1.5 million of noncurrent unrecognized tax benefits may occur by the end of 2025 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development introduced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Pillar 2 rules that impose a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Numerous countries, including European Union member states, have enacted a global minimum tax and more countries are expected to enact similar minimum tax regimes in 2025. Based on current enacted legislation, we do not expect a material impact on our future effective tax rate.
We have deferred tax assets related to net operating loss and other tax carryforwards in the U.S. and in certain states and foreign jurisdictions. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including, but not limited to, our recent history of pretax losses over the prior three year period, the goodwill and intangible asset impairments for various reporting units, the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, the projected future taxable income or loss and tax-planning. As of March 31, 2025, we do not anticipate being able to fully utilize all of the losses prior to their expiration in the following jurisdictions: the U.S., the U.K., Singapore and China. As a result, we have certain valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025.
8. Fair Value Measurements
The Company had $73.8 million and $100.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and 2029 Bonds as of March 31, 2025, respectively. The Credit Facility incurs interest at a variable interest rate and therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of the debt is classified as a Level 2 measurement because interest rates charged are similar to other financial instruments with similar terms and maturities.
The fair value of our 2029 Bonds is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. At March 31, 2025, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2029 Bonds approximated $102.0 million and $94.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2029 Bonds approximated $99.5 million and $94.6 million, respectively.
There were no other significant outstanding financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 that required measuring the amounts at fair value on a recurring basis. We did not change our valuation techniques associated with recurring fair value measurements from prior periods, and there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Overview
We are a global manufacturing company serving the oil, natural gas, industrial and renewable energy industries. With headquarters in Houston, Texas, FET provides value added solutions aimed at improving the safety, efficiency, and environmental impact of our customers’ operations. Our highly engineered products include capital equipment and consumable products. FET’s customers include oil and natural gas operators, land and offshore drilling contractors, oilfield service companies, pipeline and refinery operators, and renewable energy and new energy companies. Consumable products are used by our customers in drilling, well construction and completion activities and at processing centers and refineries. Our capital products are directed at drilling rig equipment for constructing new or upgrading existing rigs, subsea construction and development projects, pressure pumping equipment, the placement of production equipment on new producing wells, downstream capital projects and capital equipment for renewable energy projects. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately 80% of our revenue was derived from consumable products and activity-based equipment, while the balance was primarily derived from capital products with a small amount from rental and other services.
We expect that the world’s long-term energy demand will continue to rise for many decades. We also expect hydrocarbons will continue to play a vital role in meeting the world’s long-term energy needs while renewable energy sources develop to scale. As such, we remain focused on serving our customers in both oil and natural gas as well as renewable energy applications. We are continuing to develop products to help oil and gas operators lower expenses, increase production, and reduce their emissions while also deploying our technologies in renewable energy applications.
The Company operates in the following two reportable segments: (1) Drilling and Completions and (2) Artificial Lift and Downhole. Refer to Note 9 Business Segments for the product lines making up each segment.
19
A summary of the products and services offered by each segment is as follows:
•Drilling and Completions. This segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and solutions to the drilling, subsea, coiled tubing, well stimulation and intervention markets, including applications in the oil and natural gas, renewable energy, defense and communications industries. The products and solutions consist primarily of (i) capital equipment and consumable products used in the drilling process; (ii) capital equipment and aftermarket products including subsea remotely operated vehicles ("ROVs") and trenchers, submarine rescue vehicles, specialty components and tooling, and technical services; (iii) capital equipment and consumable products sold to the pressure pumping market, including hydraulic fracturing pumps, cooling systems, and high-pressure flexible hoses and flow iron; (iv) wireline cable and pressure control equipment used in the well completion and intervention service markets; and (v) coiled tubing strings and pressure control equipment used in coiled tubing operations, as well as coiled line pipe and related services.
•Artificial Lift and Downhole. This segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and solutions for the artificial lift, well construction, production and infrastructure markets. The products and solutions consist primarily of: (i) products designed to safeguard artificial lift equipment and downhole cables; (ii) well construction casing and cementing equipment; (iii) customized downhole technology solutions, providing sand and flow control products for heavy oil applications; (iv) engineered process systems, production equipment, as well as specialty separation equipment; and (v) a wide range of industrial valves focused on oil and natural gas as well as power generation, renewable energy and other general industrial applications.
Market Conditions
Generally, demand for our products and services is directly related to our customers’ capital and operating budgets. These budgets are heavily influenced by current and expected energy prices. In addition, demand for our capital products is driven by the utilization of service company equipment. Utilization is a function of equipment capacity and durability in demanding environments.
Average oil prices were lower in the first quarter 2025 compared to the first quarter 2024, while average natural gas prices nearly doubled. The decline in average oil prices is attributable to a faster than expected return of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies ("OPEC+") production combined with global recessionary fears triggered by the expected imposition of broad based trade policy changes by the Trump Administration. The increase in average natural gas prices is attributable to strong demand, tightening supply and geopolitical uncertainty.
Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Trump Administration's newly imposed trade policies and the uncertainty around their imposition led to concerns regarding ongoing consumer spending and the overall health of the world economy. This uncertainty coupled with increased supply from OPEC+ led to a further decrease in oil and natural gas prices. We will continue to monitor market conditions and assess risks, including macroeconomic uncertainty, trade policy, oil price volatility, and changes in regulations.
Our revenues, over the long-term, are highly correlated to the global drilling rig count, which decreased 5.0% during the first quarter 2025 compared to average global rig count during first quarter 2024. The decrease was mainly driven by a decline in U.S. rig count of 5.6%. In the U.S., publicly owned exploration and production companies are expected to continue to exercise disciplined capital spending while privately owned exploration and production companies fluctuate their activity in response to changes in oil and natural gas prices.

Revenue
Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $193.3 million, a decrease of $9.1 million, or 4.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our Drilling and Completions and our Artificial Lift and Downhole segments comprised 59.8% and 40.2% of our total revenue, respectively, compared to 58.8% and 41.2% of our total revenue, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The overall decrease in revenue is primarily related to the decline in global drilling and completions activity in 2025 compared to 2024. The changes in revenue by operating segment consisted of the following:
Drilling and Completions segment — Revenue was $115.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 2.9%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in segment revenue included a $4.4 million, or 12.0%, decrease from the Drilling product line and a $1.1 million, or 2.9%, decrease from the Stimulation and Intervention product line, primarily the result of declining global drilling and completions activity. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million, or 7.6%, in our Coiled Tubing product line due to the completion of coiled line pipe projects in the U.S. and Latin America.
Artificial Lift and Downhole segment — Revenue was $77.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $5.5 million, or 6.7%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Revenue for our Downhole product line decreased by $4.6 million, or 8.8%, primarily due to decreased U.S. activity, partially offset by an increase in sales of international casing equipment hardware. Also, there was a $1.5 million, or 12.3%, decrease in sales volumes of our valve products, particularly sales into the North America downstream oil and natural gas market.
Segment operating income (loss) and segment operating margin percentage
Segment operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $9.0 million, a $0.1 million decrease, compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, segment operating margin percentage was 4.6%, compared to 4.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income by revenue for the period. The change in operating income for each segment is explained as follows:
Drilling and Completions segment — Segment operating income was $9.4 million, or 8.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $4.6 million, or 3.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The $4.8 million increase in segment operating results due to reduction in amortization expense following intangible asset impairments recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Artificial Lift and Downhole segment — Segment operating income was $7.3 million, or 9.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $11.8 million, or 14.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The $4.5 million decrease in segment operating results was due to unfavorable product mix.
Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate were $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily related to higher compensation costs and professional fees.
Other items not included in segment operating income (loss)
Transaction expenses, gain (loss) on the disposal of assets and other are not included in segment operating income (loss), but are included in total operating income.
Other income and expense
Other income and expense includes interest expense and foreign exchange gains (losses) and other. We incurred $5.0 million of interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $3.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to decreased borrowings. See Note 6 Debt for further details related to debt.
The foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily the result of movements in the British pound, Canadian dollar and Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. These movements in exchange rates create foreign exchange gains or losses when applied to monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the location’s functional currency, primarily U.S. dollar denominated cash, trade account receivables and net intercompany receivable balances for our entities using a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.
23
Taxes
We recorded tax expense of $3.8 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction.
Liquidity and capital resources
Sources and uses of liquidity
Our internal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash flows from operations, while our primary external sources include trade credit, the Credit Facility, and 2029 Bonds. Our primary uses of capital have been for inventory, sales on credit to our customers, maintenance and growth capital expenditures and debt repayments. We continually monitor other potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, to meet our investment and target liquidity requirements. Our future success and growth will be highly dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow and access outside sources of capital.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $73.8 million of borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility and $100.0 million principal amount of the 2029 Bonds outstanding. See Note 6 Debt for further details related to the terms for our debt arrangements.
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $31.1 million and $77.4 million of availability under the Credit Facility. We anticipate that our future working capital requirements for our operations will fluctuate directionally with revenues. Furthermore, availability under the Credit Facility will fluctuate directionally based on the level of our eligible accounts receivable and inventory subject to applicable sublimits. In addition, we expect total 2025 capital expenditures to be approximately $10.0 million, primarily for replacement of end of life machinery and equipment.
We expect our available cash on-hand, cash generated by operations, and estimated availability under the Credit Facility to be adequate to fund current operations during the next 12 months. In addition, based on existing market conditions and our expected liquidity needs, among other factors, we may use a portion of our cash flows from operations, proceeds from divestitures, securities offerings or other eligible capital to reduce outstanding debt or repurchase shares of our common stock under our repurchase program.
In December 2024, our board of directors approved a program for the repurchase of outstanding shares of our common stock with an aggregate purchase amount of up to $75.0 million. Shares may be repurchased under the program from time to time, in amounts and at prices that the company deems appropriate, subject to market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other considerations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 105 thousand shares of our common stock for approximately $2.0 million and the remaining authorization under this program is $73.0 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This improvement in operating cash flows is primarily attributable to increase in net income adjusted for non-cash items which provided $11.1 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, mainly related to capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities was $152.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, mainly related to the acquisition of Variperm Holdings Ltd. (“Variperm”) of $150.1 million and $2.9 million of capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $21.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $151.8 million of cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in net cash used in financing activities primarily resulted from $16.5 million in net repayments from the revolving Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a $96.5 million in net borrowings on the revolving Credit Facility and $59.7 million proceeds from the second lien seller term loan related to the Variperm acquisition, during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
