Forum Energy Technologies Announces
Second Quarter 2014 Results
HOUSTON, TEXAS, July 24, 2014 - Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FET) today announced second quarter 2014 revenue of $428 million compared to $368 million for the second quarter 2013. Net income for the quarter was $40 million or $0.41 per diluted share compared to $30 million or $0.32 per diluted share for the prior year period. Included in the second quarter 2014 results was $0.03 per share of non-operational items, and excluding these items adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.44. 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 2014 was $279 million, an increase of $70 million, or 34%, from the second quarter 2013. The increase was primarily due to the contributions from acquisitions closed subsequent to the second quarter 2013, and increased sales of subsea remotely operated vehicles, drilling equipment, and downhole products. Operating income for the segment in the second quarter 2014 was $50 million, an increase of $18 million, or 53%, over the prior year period. Operating margins also improved by 230 basis points over the same period.
Production & Infrastructure
Production & Infrastructure segment revenue in the second quarter 2014 was $149 million, a decrease of $9 million from the second quarter 2013. The segment experienced lower demand for valves, primarily in Canada, and lower orders of production processing systems compared to the prior year. Pressure pumping consumable product revenue increased 30% from the prior year period. Segment operating income increased 18% due to the addition of the Global Tubing joint venture acquired in the third quarter 2013 and improved operating contribution from pressure pumping consumable products.
Review and Outlook
Cris Gaut, Forum’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "Our second quarter 2014 results included record revenue of $428 million and improved operating income and margins over the first quarter 2014. We are experiencing the benefits of our focus on improving operating execution and increasing our margins.

"Orders received in the second quarter 2014 were $441 million, 4% above our record revenue.
"Forum expects diluted earnings per share for the third quarter 2014 of $0.42 to $0.48."

(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) Loss (gain) on foreign exchange, net primarily relates to the translation of U.S. dollar denominated receivables for reporting purposes only and have no economic impact in dollar terms.
