Positive

  • Free cash flow improved 14% quarter-over-quarter to $25 million
  • Raised full-year free cash flow guidance to $60-70 million

Negative
  • Net loss widened to $15 million ($1.20 per share) from $7 million previous quarter

  • Expecting moderated U.S. demand at year end due to budget exhaustion

Insights

FET's Q3 results present a mixed picture with notable strengths in cash flow generation. The $208 million revenue shows healthy 16% YoY growth, though the $15 million net loss is concerning. Key positives include $25 million free cash flow and improved $26 million adjusted EBITDA, up 55% YoY.

The new $100 million bond offering at 10.5% interest will restructure debt but comes at a relatively high cost, reflecting current market conditions. The raised free cash flow guidance of $60-70 million demonstrates operational efficiency, though margin pressure remains evident in the $2 million adjusted net loss.

The 99% book-to-bill ratio and geographic diversification through Middle Eastern expansion provide some buffer against U.S. market softness, but Q4 guidance suggests flat to slightly declining performance.

The energy services sector context is important here. While FET shows resilience through international diversification, particularly in the Middle East, the domestic market faces headwinds from operator capital discipline and budget exhaustion. The Variperm acquisition is proving strategic, contributing to YoY growth.

The segment performance reveals shifting dynamics - Drilling and Completions' 6% revenue growth and 18% order increase contrasts with Artificial Lift's 5% revenue decline. This divergence reflects the broader industry trend of selective capital deployment and regional variations in activity levels.

  • Revenue: $208 million, a 16% year-over-year increase
  • Orders: $206 million and book-to-bill of 99%
  • Net loss: $15 million, or $1.20 per diluted share
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $26 million, up 55% year-over-year
  • Operating cash flow and free cash flow: $26 million and $25 million, respectively
  • Raises 2024 full year free cash flow guidance: $60 to $70 million

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FET) today announced third quarter 2024 revenue of $208 million, a 1% sequential increase. Orders increased 14% sequentially to $206 million, with a book-to-bill ratio of 99%. The third quarter 2024 net loss was $15 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, compared to a second quarter net loss of $7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share. The adjusted net loss for the quarter was $2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to the second quarter 2024 adjusted net loss of $0.07 per diluted share.1

Neal Lux, President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “FET will significantly bolster our balance sheet upon closing the recently announced offering of $100 million, 10.5% Senior Secured Bonds. Net proceeds and cash on hand will fully retire existing long-term debt and extend the maturity of our bonds to November 2029. We expect this transaction to enhance our ability to further reduce indebtedness, return cash to shareholders, and pursue strategic M&A opportunities.

“In addition, FET continues to deliver strong financial results. Our year-over-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth reflects the benefits of the Variperm acquisition. Furthermore, third quarter bookings increased 14% on strong demand for our capital equipment from Middle Eastern customers. Finally, our cash flow focus is paying off. During the quarter, we generated free cash flow of $25 million, up 14% from the prior quarter. Through the third quarter, FET delivered $48 million of free cash flow, which is nearly within our previous full-year guidance range. Given these strong results, we are raising our full year 2024 free cash flow guidance to between $60 and $70 million.

“Commodity prices remain volatile, driven by Middle East unrest, lower demand in China, and OPEC+ supply uncertainty. In the U.S., we expect oil and gas operators to remain disciplined with their capital budgets and production targets. Service company efficiency gains, enabled through the utilization of products supplied by manufacturers like FET, have accelerated planned 2024 drilling and completions activity. Therefore, we are forecasting budget exhaustion to moderate U.S. demand at year end. However, we expect this impact to be partially mitigated with international activity. Based on these dynamics, we expect fourth quarter 2024 revenue and adjusted EBITDA in the ranges of $190 to $210 million and $22 to $26 million, respectively.”

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

Drilling and Completions segment revenue was $124 million, a 6% increase, primarily related to higher project revenue recognized from ROVs, launch and recovery systems and wireline cable, partially offset by lower power end and hose sales. Orders were $130 million, an 18% increase, primarily due to international drilling-related capital equipment and handling tools demand. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $15 million, a 26% increase, resulting from higher revenue and favorable product mix. The Drilling and Completions segment focuses primarily on capital equipment and consumable products for global drilling operations, subsea, coiled tubing, wireline, and stimulation markets.

Artificial Lift and Downhole segment revenue was $84 million, a 5% decrease, primarily related to the decline in sales of casing hardware and valve products. Orders were $76 million, a 9% increase, due to elevated Production Equipment orders. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $17 million, a 12% decrease, mainly due to lower sales volumes within the Downhole and Production Equipment product lines. 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.

(1) The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss 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) 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 (gain) has no economic impact in dollar terms.
