Forum Energy Technologies Announces
Second Quarter 2015 Results
HOUSTON, TEXAS, July 23, 2015 - Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FET) today announced second quarter 2015 revenue of $284 million, a decrease of $144 million, or 34%, from the second quarter 2014. Net income for the quarter was $9 million or $0.10 per diluted share compared to $40 million or $0.41 per diluted share for the prior year period. Excluding $0.06 per share of non-operational items, adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.16 in the second quarter 2015. Non-operational items for the quarter included primarily a foreign exchange loss1 and a restructuring charge. See Table I for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.
Second Quarter Results by Segment
Drilling & Subsea
Drilling & Subsea segment revenue in the second quarter 2015 was $170 million, a decrease of $110 million, or 39%, from the second quarter 2014. The revenue decline was due to lower drilling activity levels as reflected by the 51% drop in the North America land rig count for the same period. Additionally, reduced capital spending in the subsea sector impacted results compared to the prior year quarter.
Production & Infrastructure
Production & Infrastructure segment revenue in the second quarter 2015 was $115 million, a decrease of $34 million, or 23%, from the second quarter 2014. The reduction in North America completion activity resulted in lower sales of well site production equipment and pressure pumping consumable products from the prior year period. Partially offsetting the revenue decline was the addition of the J-Mac acquisition in the first quarter 2015. Sales of Forum’s valves were down only modestly compared to the prior year.
Review and Outlook
Cris Gaut, Forum’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "Forum second quarter revenue decreased 18% sequentially, primarily due to the continued decline in North America drilling and completion activity as the rig count dropped 40% from the first quarter.
"Our team implemented additional cost reduction measures and scaled down our business in line with declining activity levels. EBITDA for the quarter, excluding non-operational items, was $41 million, or 14.5% of revenue.
1 Foreign exchange loss primarily relates to receivables billed in U.S. dollars by some of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that report in a local currency, and therefore the loss has no economic impact in dollar terms.

"We are focused on managing our cost structure and operating margins, reducing working capital and generating free cash flow as we enter the second half of the year.
"Customer spending remains depressed in this low commodity price environment. New orders received by Forum in the second quarter were $198 million, a decline of 31% from the first quarter. Our second quarter 2015 book to bill ratio was 70%.
"We expect the lower level of new orders from the reduction in drilling and completion activity during the second quarter to have an impact on our third quarter results.
"Forum expects diluted earnings per share for the third quarter 2015 of $0.08 to $0.13."
Recent Events
Forum’s joint venture company, Global Tubing, delivered the first order of coiled tubing for an onshore pipeline project. Coiled tubing pipeline is a continuously milled length of steel tubing that is coated and spooled for faster, lower cost and safer installations.

(1) The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income and adjusted Diluted EPS is useful to the Company's investors because (i) 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 and (ii) each of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income and adjusted Diluted EPS is 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. 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) Foreign exchange, net primarily relates to receivables billed in U.S. dollars by some of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that report in a local currency, and therefore the loss has no economic impact in dollar terms. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
