Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 28, 2016, Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. 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”) and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income per diluted share (“Adjusted Diluted EPS”) and free cash flow, before acquisitions (“free cash flow”). A reconciliation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, Adjusted Diluted EPS 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 Diluted EPS and free cash flow 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, Adjusted Diluted EPS and free cash flow 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.
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 a filing.

Forum Energy Technologies Announces
First Quarter 2016 Results and Change in Reporting Segments
HOUSTON, TEXAS, April 28, 2016 - Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FET) today announced first quarter 2016 revenue of $159 million, compared to $348 million in the first quarter 2015. Net loss for the quarter was $23 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to net income of $29 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the prior year period. Excluding $0.03 per share of special items, the adjusted net loss was $0.22 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2016. Forum generated free cash flow after capital expenditures of $23 million during the first quarter of 2016.
Special items in the first quarter 2016 included pre-tax charges of $4 million for restructuring and $3 million for the write down of deferred loan costs associated with its credit facility amendment, offset by $1 million of foreign exchange gains. See Tables 1-3 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.
Beginning with the first quarter 2016, Forum will report its results of operations in three reporting segments: Drilling & Subsea, Completions, and Production & Infrastructure. The new reporting segments align with distinct activity drivers and customers of our product groups, and correspond with the manner in which management is now evaluating operating performance. See the supplemental schedules for historical operating results presented on a basis consistent with the new reporting segments.
The Drilling & Subsea segment provides capital equipment and a broad line of expendable drilling products consumed in the drilling process by drilling contractors; and subsea capital equipment, specialty components and tooling, products used in subsea pipeline infrastructure, and a broad suite of complementary subsea technical services and rental items to the subsea contractors.
The Completions segment provides well stimulation, intervention, and downhole capital and consumable products such as hydraulic fracturing pumps, pump consumables, flow iron, coiled tubing strings, wireline cable, pressure control equipment, casing and cementing equipment, cable protectors, and composite plugs to oil field service companies.
The Production & Infrastructure segment provides well site surface production and process equipment, as well as desalinization equipment to the upstream and downstream operators; and provides a wide range of industrial valves to the upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas customers.

First Quarter Results by Segment
After significant declines since the middle of 2014, oil prices collapsed to a new low in the first quarter of 2016. As a result, spending by customers took another dramatic decline from already depressed levels, negatively impacting first quarter results.
Drilling & Subsea segment revenue in the first quarter 2016 was $65 million, a 60% decrease from the first quarter 2015 and a 21% decrease from the fourth quarter 2015, on softer demand for drilling equipment and consumable products due to the declining North America rig count and lower subsea activity levels.
The Completions segment revenue in the first quarter 2016 was $34 million, a 64% decrease year-over-year and 23% sequentially, due to lower completions activity in North America.
Production & Infrastructure segment revenue in the first quarter 2016 was $61 million, a 33% decline from the prior year period and a 12% decline from the fourth quarter 2015, primarily on reduced sales of surface production equipment in the U.S., partially offset by revenue from valve sales to midstream and process industries.
New orders received by Forum in the first quarter were $141 million, resulting in a book to bill ratio of 88%.
Review and Outlook
Cris Gaut, Forum’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "Despite the very challenging environment Forum has further enhanced its ability to benefit from the anticipated recovery. During the first quarter we strengthened our financial position and improved our operational efficiency.
"Our financial strength allows us to focus on expanding our business through acquisitions and new product development. We generated free cash flow of $23 million in the first quarter. The recent amendment of our credit facility improved our borrowing ability and together with our $132 million of cash brought our total available liquidity to more than $300 million.
"Our reduced cost structure and improved operational efficiency allowed Forum to limit our sequential operating income decremental margins to 36%, in line with our expectations. These cost structure and operational enhancements should allow Forum to achieve high incremental margins when activity improves.
“We are confident Forum will be an early beneficiary of the market recovery due to our focus on activity-based consumable products related to North America drilling and completions activity."
Recent Events
Forum received two awards for remotely operated vehicles (ROV) in the Drilling & Subsea segment. The first was for a XLX 200HP work-class ROV system with a 75HP trenching skid. The second was for a Super Mohawk observation class ROV system.
2
Forum acquired a small wholesale completion packer product line consistent with Forum’s strategy to broaden its offering of downhole tools and completions products.

In addition, EBITDA is a widely used benchmark in the investment community.
