Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 7, 2020, Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. 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 measures reflect earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share (“Adjusted Diluted EPS”), book to bill ratio and free cash flow, before acquisitions (“free cash flow”). A reconciliation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, book to bill ratio and free cash flow to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) is included as an attachment to the press release. The Company believes the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, book to bill ratio and free cash flow are useful to the Company's 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 the Company's normal operating results and (ii) 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. In addition, these benchmarks are widely used in the investment community.
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.

Forum Energy Technologies Announces
First Quarter 2020 Results
Revenue of $183 million
Net loss of $37 million and diluted EPS of $(0.33)
Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million
Cash flow from operations of $1.6 million and free cash flow after capital expenditures of $0.7 million
Net debt reduced by $6.9 million from year end 2019
HOUSTON, TEXAS, May 7, 2020 - Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FET) today announced first quarter 2020 revenue of $183 million, a decrease of $17 million from the fourth quarter 2019. Net loss for the quarter was $37 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $12 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2019. Excluding $15 million, or $0.13 per share of special items, adjusted net loss was $0.20 per diluted share in the first quarter 2020, compared to an adjusted net loss of $0.09 per diluted share in the fourth quarter 2019. Forum generated $1.3 million of adjusted EBITDA in the quarter, a decrease of approximately $9.4 million from the fourth quarter 2019.
Special items in the first quarter 2020, on a pre-tax basis, included $37 million of intangible assets, fixed assets, operating lease assets and inventory impairments, $5 million of restructuring and other charges, and $2 million of written-off deferred loan costs. These charges were partially offset by an $8 million gain on extinguishment of debt and $5 million of foreign exchange gains. See Tables 1-3 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.
Cris Gaut, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “The recent unprecedented decline in oil demand and oil prices, associated with the coronavirus shutdown, is causing a collapse in drilling and completions activity, especially in North America. As drilling and completions activity declines to historically low levels, demand is very low for the new capital equipment and shorter cycle products Forum provides. We began to see the effect of this lower demand on Forum’s results in the first quarter 2020, but we expect a more significant negative impact on subsequent quarters this year. In the first quarter, our revenue and bookings were down 9% and 16%, respectively, from the fourth quarter, as exploration and production budgets were slashed and customers sought to reduce spending and preserve cash. Our adjusted EBITDA was down $9 million as a result of the rapid revenue decline, particularly in our highest margin product

1


lines, Coiled Tubing and Downhole Technologies. Our free cash flow after net capital expenditures was also negatively impacted and came in at less than $1 million.
“Despite the low level of free cash flow in the first quarter, we were able to reduce net debt by $7 million by repurchasing some of our Senior Notes at a significant discount in the open market. We ended the quarter with $109 million of cash on hand and total liquidity of $262 million. We reduced our gross inventory by $19 million in the quarter and will continue to prioritize inventory reduction to drive additional free cash flow.
“We are closely monitoring the impact of the coronavirus to ensure the safety of our employees, while preserving business continuity and working to meet our customers’ needs. While our manufacturing facilities and business operations have not experienced work stoppages from the coronavirus or resulting government regulations, we are experiencing a significant decrease in demand for our products resulting from the collapse in oil prices. We expect our revenues and operating results to experience a significant decline in the second quarter 2020. The magnitude of the decline and the timing of a recovery are uncertain.
“Forum is a capital light and scalable business and we are moving swiftly to reduce costs and manage the business to maximize cash flow. We have put in place a plan that is expected to result in a reduction of at least $50 million in our selling, general and administrative costs on an annualized basis, plus additional significant decreases in our manufacturing costs. Cost actions include voluntary reductions in executive compensation; consolidation of management roles; significant headcount reductions, including in corporate and support functions; compensation and benefits cuts; plant and facility closures; and furloughs. I am pleased with how our employees are handling the challenging situation and making the necessary sacrifices.
“During this time of extremely depressed activity in the North American oil and gas sector, we will continue to emphasize and protect our winning products, many of which are aimed at providing cost and operating efficiency to our customers. As activity stabilizes, even at a low level, these products should see traction as they reduce operating costs. In addition, we continue to see activity outside of the North American oil and gas market for several of our products. These include products facilitating drilling and completions activity in select international markets, valves for industrial applications, and subsea equipment for defense and renewable power applications. While even this activity is being impacted by the economic slowdown, demand should improve somewhat as global shutdown restrictions are lifted.
“Forum has weathered previous downturns during our history, and we will approach this one with the same vigor. We will continue to focus on generating free cash flow, adjusting our cost structure, and exploiting any market opportunities for our winning products.

Segment Results
Drilling & Downhole segment revenue was $77 million, a decrease of $2 million, or 2%, from the fourth quarter 2019, due to lower sales of downhole products in North America, resulting from the slowdown in drilling and completions activity, partially offset by year-end deferrals. Orders in the first quarter were $70 million, a 5% decrease from the fourth quarter, primarily due to lower orders for subsea capital equipment. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $6 million, down $3 million from the fourth quarter, resulting primarily from an unfavorable mix of lower sales of high margin downhole products. Drilling & Downhole operations focus primarily on capital equipment and consumable products for global drilling, well construction, artificial lift and subsea construction and services markets.
Completions segment revenue was $51 million, a sequential decrease of $8 million, or 13%, due to lower sales of coiled tubing and pressure pumping products, resulting from the slowdown in completions activity and continued destocking and cannibalization of equipment by our service company customers. Orders in the first quarter were $50 million, a decrease of $8 million, or 14% from the fourth quarter 2019. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $3 million, down $2 million from the fourth quarter, as a result of an unfavorable mix from lower sales of coiled tubing products, and loss of operating leverage on lower sales volumes. The Completions segment designs and manufactures products for the coiled tubing, stimulation and intervention markets.
Production segment revenue was $56 million, a decrease of $9 million, or 14% from the fourth quarter 2019, due to lower sales of both valves and surface production equipment. Orders in the first quarter were $51 million, a 27% decrease sequentially, due to reduced order placement for surface production equipment as operators plan to slow their completions activity. Segment adjusted EBITDA was just below breakeven at $(0.1) million, down $2.6 million sequentially, as a result of lower operating leverage on lower sales volumes. The Production segment manufactures land well site production equipment, desalination process equipment, and a wide range of valves for upstream, midstream and process industry customers.
Financial Position and Other Financial Information
Forum ended the quarter with $109 million of cash on the balance sheet, $55 million drawn on the revolving credit facility, net debt of $335 million, and liquidity of $262 million. During the first quarter, the Company purchased $11 million par value of our Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021 in the open market at a weighted average price of 31% of par. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, Forum drew an additional $30 million on its revolving credit facility and initiated a tender offer to purchase an additional amount of our Senior Notes for aggregate consideration of up to $80 million.
Forum’s primary use of free cash flow in 2020 will be to continue to reduce net debt. We continue to evaluate all available options to address the maturity of the remaining Senior Notes due in the fourth quarter 2021.

3


Net capital expenditures in the first quarter were $0.9 million. We now expect our total capital expenditures for 2020 to be less than $5 million. However, we do expect to have additional cash charges for restructuring and severance costs in the second quarter and throughout 2020 as we take action to reduce our cost structure.
Interest and depreciation and amortization, were $7 million and $14 million, respectively, in the first quarter. We expect these expenses to remain at similar levels in the second quarter.
Adjusted corporate expenses were $7 million in the first quarter, in line with previous guidance, and we expect them to be approximately $6 million in the second quarter, due to cost reductions.
Forum is eligible to carry back 2018 operating losses to 2013 for income tax purposes under the CARES Act. We expect this to generate a cash tax refund of approximately $14 million in 2020. We also intend to defer a portion of 2020 employer payroll taxes, resulting in the postponement of a few million dollars to subsequent years. We do not believe the Company is eligible for other significant benefits under the CARES Act or other U.S. government stimulus programs at this time, but we will continue to evaluate these and any future programs.

(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, in the markets in which the Company operates, 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 the Company's 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 income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS are useful to the Company's 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 the Company's normal operating results and (ii) 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. 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) The difference between the fair value of our interest in Ashtead and the book value of the underlying net assets resulted in a basis difference non-operating gain, which was allocated to fixed assets, intangible assets and goodwill based on their respective fair values as of the transaction date. This amount represents the amortization of the basis difference gain associated with intangible assets and property, plant and equipment which is included in equity earnings (loss) over the estimated life of the respective assets.
(3) 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 has no economic impact in dollar terms.
