Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 11, 2017, Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release with respect to its quarter ended September 30, 2017 earnings results. A copy of the release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Exhibit 99.1 to this report contains “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The non-GAAP financial measure reflected is adjusted net income per diluted share (“Adjusted Diluted EPS”). A reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted EPS to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) is included in the press release. The Company believes the presentation of Adjusted Diluted EPS is useful to the Company's investors because 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.
The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The information contained in this Current Report shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Forum Energy Technologies Announces Effect of Hurricane Harvey, Updates Third Quarter 2017 Guidance
Houston, Texas, October 11, 2017- Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FET) announced today that its third quarter results were adversely effected by Hurricane Harvey’s widespread damage in Texas and Louisiana. Forum was impacted by temporarily idled facilities and operations directly related to Harvey, which resulted in foregone revenue and under-absorption of manufacturing costs. The company also experienced the indirect effect of customer, supplier and logistical delays.
Based on currently available information including the direct and indirect impacts of Hurricane Harvey, the company now expects third quarter revenue of approximately $200 million and a net loss of approximately $0.20 per diluted share in the third quarter 2017. Excluding approximately $0.10 per share of special items for taxes, restructuring charges, transaction expenses and foreign exchange loss, the adjusted net loss is expected to be approximately $0.10 per diluted share.
Prady Iyyanki, Forum’s CEO commented, “we were fortunate that none of our facilities received significant damage, and all were fully operational by the end of the third quarter. We are also pleased that customer demand remains strong, as orders in the third quarter were up from the prior quarter.”
The company will provide an update on its third quarter 2017 earnings conference call to be held on Tuesday, October 31, 2017.
