Insights

Forum Energy Technologies' 2024 results demonstrate meaningful operational progress despite challenging market conditions. The 10% revenue growth to $816 million and 49% EBITDA improvement showcase successful execution of their "Beat the Market" strategy, particularly through the Variperm acquisition which enhanced their product portfolio and market reach.

The standout achievement is the company's exceptional cash flow management, generating $105 million in free cash flow - the highest since 2015. This performance stems from efficient working capital management and improved operational execution, evidenced by the 300 basis point EBITDA margin expansion to 12%.

The recent balance sheet refinancing and introduction of a structured capital allocation strategy (50% to debt reduction, 50% to strategic investments) demonstrates prudent financial management. The $75 million share repurchase program, initiated with $2 million deployed in January 2025, signals management's confidence in the company's intrinsic value and commitment to shareholder returns.

However, the $119 million intangible asset impairment and projected industry headwinds for 2025 warrant attention. Management's guidance of $85-105 million adjusted EBITDA for 2025 reflects both market challenges and their confidence in offsetting industry-wide activity decline through continued market share gains.

Segment performance reveals divergent trends: The Drilling and Completions segment faces near-term headwinds from reduced U.S. completions activity, while the Artificial Lift and Downhole segment shows resilience with growing demand for processing equipment technologies. This diversification helps buffer against market volatility while providing multiple growth avenues.

Full Year 2024 Highlights and 2025 Guidance

  • Revenue: $816 million, a 10% year-over-year increase
  • Orders: $780 million and book-to-bill ratio of 96%
  • Net loss: $135 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $100 million, a 49% increase from 2023
  • Operating cash flow and free cash flow: $92 million and $105 million, respectively
  • Shareholder return program: $2 million repurchased in January 2025
  • 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance: $85 - $105 million

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FET) today announced fourth quarter 2024 revenue of $201 million and orders of $190 million. Fourth quarter net loss of $104 million includes a non-cash, pre-tax intangible asset impairment of $119 million and an $11 million tax valuation allowance release. Net loss for 2024 was $135 million, or $11.00 per diluted share. Adjusted net loss for the quarter was $6 million and $11 million for 2024.1

Neal Lux, President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “2024 was a fantastic year for FET. We began by closing the Variperm acquisition, which contributed meaningfully to our financial results. Consolidated revenue was up $78 million and adjusted EBITDA increased $33 million, resulting in a 42% incremental margin. EBITDA margin increased by over 300 basis points to 12%. This strong growth and our efficient working capital management generated free cash flow of $105 million, the highest since 2015.

“We ended the year refinancing our long-term debt, solidifying our balance sheet, and providing flexibility to return capital to shareholders. In December, we announced a $75 million share repurchase authorization and began executing this program in January. Going forward, we expect to allocate 50% of our free cash flow to net debt reduction, with the remainder to strategic investments, including share repurchases. With our confidence in the long-term outlook and a free cash flow yield well above our peers, we are unlikely to find a better investment than FET shares.

“During 2024, we implemented our “Beat the Market” strategy to grow profitable market share by focusing on niche markets, delivering innovative solutions, and leveraging our global manufacturing footprint. This strategy, combined with the Variperm acquisition, led to 15% market share growth as measured by revenue per global rig. With continued market share gains and a favorable long-term energy investment climate, FET is well positioned to increase revenue and free cash flow over time.

“In the near term, commodity prices remain range bound due to excess production capacity and slower demand growth. We expect global drilling and completion activity to be down 2% to 5% in 2025. Our forecast assumes we overcome most, if not all, of the activity decline through market share gains. Therefore, full year 2025 adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow guidance ranges are $85 to $105 million and $40 to $60 million, respectively.”

Segment Results (unless otherwise noted, comparisons are fourth quarter 2024 versus third quarter 2024)

Drilling and Completions segment revenue was $111 million, a 10% decrease, primarily related to lower capital equipment, wireline cable and coiled tubing sales due to the decline in U.S. completions activity. Orders were $103 million, or a book-to-bill ratio of 93%, on lower orders for drilling and stimulation-related capital equipment. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $10 million, a 34% decrease, resulting primarily from lower revenue and unfavorable product mix. The Drilling and Completions segment provides consumable products and capital equipment for drilling, subsea, coiled tubing, wireline, and stimulation markets.

Artificial Lift and Downhole segment revenue was $90 million, a 7% increase, primarily related to higher demand for our processing equipment technologies, as well as increased sales of our artificial lift products. Orders were $87 million, a 14% increase, due to elevated Production Equipment orders. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $19 million, an 11% increase, mainly due to higher sales of our artificial lift products and processing equipment technologies. The Artificial Lift and Downhole segment engineers, manufactures, and supplies products for well construction, artificial lift, and oil and natural gas processing.

(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 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.
