Insights

FET shows improving profitability, strong cash generation, and sets higher 2026 targets.

Forum Energy Technologies moved from a large 2024 loss to positive 2025 adjusted net income of $7.4M, with adjusted EBITDA of $86.4M. Q4 2025 delivered revenue of $202.2M, net income of $2.1M, and adjusted EBITDA of $23M, indicating a more profitable exit rate.

Cash generation was a key highlight. Operating cash flow reached $70.4M and free cash flow before acquisitions was $80.0M, implying a 93% free cash flow conversion versus adjusted EBITDA. Net debt fell to $106.6M with a net leverage ratio of 1.2x, giving the company more balance sheet flexibility.

The company returned $35M via repurchasing 1.4 million shares, or 11% of shares outstanding, while full-year orders of $891M produced a 113% book‑to‑bill and year‑end backlog of $312M. 2026 guidance targets revenue of $800–$880M, adjusted EBITDA of $90–$110M, and free cash flow of $55–$75M, suggesting management anticipates growth even if broader markets are relatively flat.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 19, 2026, Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. 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, free cash flow before acquisitions (“free cash flow”), free cash flow yield, net leverage ratio and free cash flow conversion. 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, free cash flow, free cash flow yield, net leverage ratio and free cash flow conversion 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 normal operating results and (ii) EBITDA is an appropriate measure of evaluating operating performance and liquidity that reflects the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the business, strengthening the balance sheet, repurchasing 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.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, February 19, 2026 - Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FET) today announced fourth quarter 2025 revenue of $202.2 million and net income of $2.1 million or $0.17 per diluted share. Adjusted for $2.9 million of foreign tax settlement, asset impairments, restructuring costs and other items, adjusted net income was $5.0 million or approximately $0.41 per diluted share.1
Neal Lux, President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “2025 was another great step forward and further positioned FET to deliver the 2030 vision. Our commercial efforts and innovation focus supplied meaningful bookings and backlog growth. Entering 2026, our backlog of $312 million is the highest in 11 years and 46% greater than a year ago. Nearly 12% of our backlog is from products developed in the last few years. These results are driven by the execution of our “Beat the Market” strategy. We are gaining market share and leveraging our global footprint.

1 See Tables 1-9 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information, including a breakdown of adjusting items.


1


“Our financial performance accelerated through the second half of the year, with EBITDA up nearly 13% compared to the prior six months. Higher EBITDA, along with working capital efficiency and asset monetization, generated full year free cash flow of $80 million. In line with our capital allocation framework, we repurchased 11% of our total shares outstanding and reduced net debt by 28%.
“In 2026, we believe global market activity will remain relatively flat. However, we expect revenue and EBITDA growth, supported by strong backlog, structural cost reductions, and market share gains. Our execution in 2026 will keep us on track for FET 2030.”
Segment Results (unless otherwise noted, comparisons are fourth quarter 2025 versus third quarter 2025)
Drilling and Completions revenue was $127 million, an 8% increase, primarily related to strong demand for drilling-related capital equipment for international markets, subsea ROVs, and coiled line pipe. Adjusted EBITDA was $12 million. Book-to-bill was 84%, coming off strong orders for ROVs and drilling-related capital equipment in the prior quarter that did not recur. Drilling and Completions provides consumable products and capital equipment for drilling, subsea, coiled tubing, wireline, and stimulation markets.
Artificial Lift and Downhole revenue was $75 million, a 4% decrease, primarily related to lower volumes of production equipment and technologies. However, adjusted EBITDA was relatively flat at $17 million, due to favorable product mix for sand and flow control products. Book-to-bill was 107%, due to large orders for production-related equipment. Artificial Lift and Downhole engineers, manufactures, and supplies products for well construction, artificial lift, and oil and natural gas processing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company presents its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that non-GAAP measures are useful tools for evaluating the Company's overall financial performance. Not all companies define these measures in the same way. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for those prepared in accordance with GAAP and should, therefore, be considered only as a supplement. Please see the attached schedules for reconciliations between GAAP and the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release. The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income because items that impact GAAP net income, such as restructuring charges, transaction expenses, and foreign exchange losses (gains), cannot be reasonably predicted.
Forward Looking Statements and Other Legal Disclosure
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements.

In addition, EBITDA is a widely used benchmark in the investment community. See the attached separate schedule for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

(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 our 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 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 normal operating results and (ii) EBITDA is an appropriate measure of evaluating operating performance and liquidity that reflects the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the business, strengthening the balance sheet, repurchasing 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.
