1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “FET,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is a global company serving the oil, natural gas, industrial and renewable energy industries. With headquarters located in Houston, Texas, FET provides value added solutions that increase the safety and efficiency of energy exploration and production.
Basis of Presentation
The Company's accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In management's opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or any other interim period.
These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Accounting Standard Adopted in 2023
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. The IRA, among other provisions, imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on the adjusted financial statement income of certain large corporations effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022 and a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations after December 31, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, which provides temporary, optional practical expedients and exceptions to enable a smoother transition to the new reference rates which will replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other reference rates expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which expanded the scope to include derivative instruments impacted by the discounting transition. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, which extended the temporary accounting rules from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Effective April 2023, the Company transitioned its Credit Facility from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
3. Revenue
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policies, refer to the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Contract Balances
Contract balances are determined on a contract by contract basis. Contract assets represent revenue recognized for goods and services provided to our customers when payment is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Similarly, the Company records contract liability when we receive consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. Such contract liabilities typically result from billings in excess of costs incurred on construction contracts and advance payments received on product sales.
The following table reflects the changes in our contract assets and contract liabilities balances for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023 (in thousands):

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, our contract assets decreased by $2.9$7.6 million and our contract liabilities decreasedincreased by $0.2$4.2 million primarily due to the timing of milestone billings for projects in our Subsea Technologies product line.
During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we recognized $11.4$12.6 million of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.
Substantially all of our contracts are less than one year in duration. As such, we have elected to apply the practical expedient which allows an entity to exclude disclosures about its remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
4. Inventories

2025 Notes
In August 2020, we exchanged $315.5 million principal amount of our previous 6.25% unsecured notes due 2021 for new 9.00% convertible secured notes due August 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). The 2025 Notes pay interest at the rate of 9.00%, of which 6.25% is payable in cash and 2.75% is payable in cash or additional notes, at the Company’s option. The 2025 Notes are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for Credit Facility priority collateral, which secures the 2025 Notes on a second lien basis. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, $122.8 million or 48% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes mandatorily converted into approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock.

Credit Facility
Our senior secured revolving credit facility (Credit Facility”), which has a maturity date of September 2026, provides revolving credit commitments of $179.0 million (with a sublimit of up to $70.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries) (the “U.S. Line”), of which up to $20.0 million is available to certain of our Canadian subsidiaries for loans in U.S. or Canadian dollars (with a sublimit of up to $3.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of our Canadian subsidiaries) (the “Canadian Line”).
Availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to eligible accounts receivable in the U.S., Canada and certain other jurisdictions (subject to a cap) and eligible inventory in the U.S. and Canada. Such eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory serve as priority collateral for the Credit Facility, which is also secured on a second lien basis by substantially all of the Company's other assets. The amount of eligible inventory included in the borrowing base is restricted to the lesser of $124.5$124.0 million (subject to a quarterly reduction of $0.5 million) and 80.0% of the total borrowing base. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be reduced or eliminated, depending on future fluctuations in our receivables and inventory. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, our total borrowing base was $178.3$173.3 million, of which $10.0 millionno amount was drawn and $22.8$18.5 million was used for security of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining availability of $145.5$154.8 million.
Borrowings under the U.S. Line are subject to an interest rate equal to, at the Company's option, either (a) the SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly total net leverage ratio, with the U.S. Line base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the one-month adjusted SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, and (iii) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, by Wells Fargo at its principal office in San Francisco as its prime rate, subject to a floor of 0.00%.
Borrowings under the Canadian Line were subject to an interest rate during the reporting period equal to, our subsidiary's option, either (a) the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”), subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly net leverage ratio. The Canadian line base rate is determined by reference to the greater of (i) the one-month CDOR plus 1.00% and (ii) the prime rate for Canadian dollar commercial loans made in Canada as reported by Thomson Reuters, subject to a floor of 0.00%.
The weighted average interest rate under the Credit Facility was approximately 8.00%8.28% for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023.
The Credit Facility also provides for a commitment fee in the amount of (a) 0.375% on the unused portion of commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is greater than 50% and (b) 0.500% on the unused portion of commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50%.
If excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below the greater of 12.5% of the borrowing base and $22.4 million, we will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter until excess availability under the Credit Facility exceeds such thresholds for at least 60 consecutive days. Furthermore, the Credit Facility includes an obligation to prepay outstanding loans with cash on hand in excess of certain thresholds and includes a cross-default to the 2025 Notes.
Deferred Loan Costs
We have incurred loan costs that have been deferred and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2025 Notes and the Credit Facility. In connection with the September 2021 Credit Facility amendment, we deferred approximately $1.6 million of loan costs that will be amortized over the facility's remaining life.

7. Income Taxes
For interim periods, our income tax expense or benefit is computed based on our estimated annual effective tax rate and any discrete items that impact the interim periods. For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the Company recorded a tax expense of $1.9$1.5 million and a tax expense of $4.7$6.2 million, respectively. For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company recorded a tax expense of $1.7$1.4 million and $3.6$4.9 million, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rates for all periods were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction. Finally, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of approximately $1.5 million of noncurrent unrecognized tax benefits may occur by the end of 2023 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.
We have deferred tax assets related to net operating loss and other tax carryforwards in the U.S. and in certain states and foreign jurisdictions. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning and recent operating results. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we do not anticipate being able to fully utilize all of the losses prior to their expiration in the following jurisdictions: the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Singapore, China and Saudi Arabia. As a result, we have certain valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023.
8. Fair Value Measurements
The Company had $10.0 million ofno borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023. The Credit Facility incurs interest at a variable interest rate, and therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of the debt is classified as a Level 2 measurement because interest rates charged are similar to other financial instruments with similar terms and maturities.
The fair value of our 2025 Notes is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. At JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $132.3$130.1 million and $126.1$127.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $272.8 million and $237.9 million, respectively.
There were no other significant outstanding financial instruments as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 that required measuring the amounts at fair value on a recurring basis. We did not change our valuation techniques associated with recurring fair value measurements from prior periods, and there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is, and in the future could be, involved in various pending or threatened legal actions, some of which may or may not be covered by insurance. Management has reviewed such pending judicial and legal proceedings, the reasonably anticipated costs and expenses in connection with such proceedings, and the availability and limits of insurance coverage, and has established reserves that are believed to be appropriate in light of those outcomes that are believed to be probable and can be estimated. The reserves accrued at JuneSeptember 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, are immaterial. In the opinion of management, the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In October of 2017, one of our subsidiaries, Global Tubing LLC (“Global Tubing”), filed suit against Tenaris Coiled Tubes, LLC and Tenaris, S.A. (together “Tenaris”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas seeking a declaration that its DURACOILTM products do not infringe certain Tenaris patents related to coiled tubing. Tenaris filed counterclaims against Global Tubing alleging DURACOILTM products infringe three patents. Tenaris sought unspecified damages and a permanent injunction. In response, Global Tubing alleged that its products do not infringe and the Tenaris patents are invalid and unenforceable. On March 20, 2023, the court agreed with Global Tubing, finding all patents unenforceable and dismissing all Tenaris infringement claims. Global Tubing intends to seek an award of its attorneys’ fees and costs incurred as a result of the litigation. Tenaris has appealed the final judgment and Global Tubing has filed a cross-appeal.

Overview
We are a global company serving the oil, natural gas, industrial and renewable energy industries. With headquarters located in Houston, Texas, FET provides value added solutions aimed at improving the safety, efficiency, and environmental impact of our customers' operations. Our highly engineered products include capital equipment and consumable products. FET’s customers include oil and natural gas operators, land and offshore drilling contractors, oilfield service companies, pipeline and refinery operators, and renewable energy and new energy companies. Consumable products are used by our customers in drilling, well construction and completions activities and at processing centers and refineries. Our capital products are directed at drilling rig equipment for constructing new and upgrading existing rigs, subsea construction and development projects, pressure pumping equipment, the placement of production equipment on new producing wells, downstream capital projects and capital equipment for renewable energy projects. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, approximately 65% of our revenue was derived from consumable products and activity-based equipment, while the balance was primarily derived from capital products with a small amount from rental and other services.
A summary of the products and services offered by each segment is as follows:
Drilling & Downhole. This segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and provides related services to the drilling, well construction, artificial lift and subsea energy construction markets, including applications in oil and natural gas, renewable energy, defense, and communications. The products and related services consist primarily of: (i) capital equipment and a broad line of expendable products consumed in the drilling process; (ii) well construction casing and cementing equipment and protection products for artificial lift equipment and cables; and (iii) subsea remotely operated vehicles (“ROVs”) and trenchers, submarine rescue vehicles, specialty components and tooling, and complementary subsea technical services.
Completions. This segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and provides related services to the coiled tubing, well stimulation and intervention markets. The products and related services consist primarily of: (i) capital and consumable products sold to the pressure pumping, hydraulic fracturing and flowback services markets, including hydraulic fracturing pumps, cooling systems, high-pressure flexible hoses and flow iron as well as wireline cable and pressure control equipment used in the well completion and intervention service markets; and (ii) coiled tubing strings and coiled line pipe and related services.
1618


Production. This segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and provides related equipment and services for production and infrastructure markets. The products and related services consist primarily of: (i) engineered process systems, production equipment, as well as specialty separation equipment; and (ii) a wide range of industrial valves focused on serving oil and natural gas customers as well as power generation, renewable energy and other general industrial applications.
Market Conditions
Demand for our products and services is directly related to our customers' capital and operating budgets. These budgets are heavily influenced by current and expected energy prices. In addition, demand for our capital products is driven by the utilization of service company equipment. Utilization is a function of equipment capacity and durability in demanding environments.
Recent inflationary pressures and rising interest rates and volatility in the banking sector have created a heightened concern of a global recession. Oil and natural gas prices softened in the first half of 2023 in part as a result of such global recessionary fears.fears, but rebounded during the third quarter as supply tightened from further OPEC+ production cuts. The recent conflict in the Middle East could lead to a disruption to world energy markets and international supply chains. Despite these near-term macroeconomic challenges, we expect that the world's long-term energy demand will continue to rise and may outpace global supply as OPEC+ remains committed to maintaining stable oil prices. We expect that hydrocarbons will continue to play a vital role in meeting the world's long-term energy needs while renewable energy sources continue to develop.become increasingly prominent.
The price of oil has varied dramatically over the last several years. The spot prices for West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) and United Kingdom Brent (“Brent”) crude oil (“Brent”) fell from $61.14 and $67.77 per barrel, respectively, as of December 31, 2019 to lows below $15.00 per barrel in April 2020. Since that time, oil prices rebounded to highs above $120.00 per barrel in March 2022 but have softened in the second quarter 2023 to an average of $73.54$82.25 and $77.99,$86.65, for WTI and Brent, respectively.respectively, in the third quarter 2023. In addition, natural gas prices have decreased by 71.2%67.7% comparing the secondthird quarter 2023 to the secondthird quarter 2022.
Our revenues, over the long-term, are highly correlated to the global drilling rig count, which has increased to 1,796averaged 1,788 rigs as ofduring the end of the secondthird quarter 2023 from a lowan average of 1,030 rigs in the third quarter 2020. The average U.S. rig count for the third quarter 2023 was 9.7% lower and 14.7% lower compared to the second quarter 2023 was 5.4% lower and 0.8% higher compared to the first quarter 2023 and secondthird quarter 2022, respectively. The international rig count for the secondthird quarter 2023 was 4.9% higher0.9% lower and 17.6%11.0% higher compared to the firstsecond quarter 2023 and secondthird quarter 2022, respectively.
Global drilling and completions activity remains below pre-pandemic levels. However, international marketsMarkets outside North America are expected to grow throughout 2023 and outpace the U.S. in 2023. In the U.S., publicly owned exploration and production companies are expected to continue to exercise disciplined capital spending while privatelyspending. Privately owned exploration and production companies tend to fluctuate their activity more readily in response to changes in oil and natural gas prices.

This increase was led by a $11.7$4.8 million, or 35.0%12.6%, increase in revenue for our Drilling Technologies product line due to higher sales volumes of both consumable products and capital equipment, drivenpartially offset by increased market activity and global rig count.lower sales volumes of consumable products. Revenue for our Downhole Technologies product line increased by $0.7$1.6 million, or 3.0%7.1%, primarily due to higher sales volumes of artificial lift products in the secondthird quarter 2023 compared to the secondthird quarter 2022. Revenue for our Subsea Technologies product line decreased by $8.2$0.9 million, or 38.0%5.8%, from lower volumes of ROVs and Launch and Recovery Systems (“LARS”)cable management systems partially offset by an increase infrom higher project revenue recognized from ROVs and after-market part sales and service.sales.
Completions segment — Revenue was $72.1$62.5 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, an increasea decrease of $6.0$9.8 million, or 9.1%13.5%, compared to the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022. This significant improvementchange includes a revenue increasedecrease of $9.1$11.1 million, or 24.3%25.4%, for our Stimulation & Intervention product line primarily due to higher demand of radiators, wireline cablelower U.S. hydraulic fracturing activity levels and high-pressure hoses. Revenuedelays in capital equipment spending by customers during the third quarter 2023. This decline was partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in revenue for our Coiled Tubing product line decreased by $3.0 million, or 10.6% in the second quarter 2023 compared to the second quarter 2022 due to lowerhigher international sales volumes.

Liquidity and capital resources
Sources and uses of liquidity
Our internal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash flows from operations, while our primary external sources include trade credit, the Credit Facility and the 2025 Notes. Our primary uses of capital have been for inventory, sales on credit to our customers, maintenance and growth capital expenditures, and debt repayments. We continually monitor other potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, to meet our investment and target liquidity requirements. Our future success and growth will be highly dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow and access outside sources of capital.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we had $134.2 million principal amount of 2025 Notes outstanding and $10.0 million ofno borrowings outstanding under our revolving Credit Facility. The 2025 Notes mature in August 2025 and, subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Facility matures in September 2026. See Note 6 Debt for further details related to the terms for our 2025 Notes and Credit Facility.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $24.8$37.2 million and $145.5$154.8 million of availability under the Credit Facility. We anticipate that our future working capital requirements for our operations will fluctuate directionally with revenues. Furthermore, availability under the Credit Facility will fluctuate directionally based on the level of our eligible accounts receivable and inventory subject to applicable sublimits. In addition, we continue to expect total 2023 capital expenditures to be less than $10.0 million, consisting of, among other items, replacing end of life machinery and equipment.
We expect our available cash on-hand, cash generated by operations, and estimated availability under the Credit Facility to be adequate to fund current operations during the next 12 months. In addition, based on existing market conditions and our expected liquidity needs, among other factors, we may use a portion of our cash flows from operations, proceeds from divestitures, securities offerings or other eligible capital to reduce the principal amount of our 2025 Notes outstanding or repurchase shares of our common stock under our repurchase program.
In November 2021, our board of directors approved a program for the repurchase of outstanding shares of our common stock with an aggregate purchase amount of up to $10.0 million. Shares may be repurchased under the program from time to time, in amounts and at prices that the company deems appropriate, subject to market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other considerations. During the first halfnine months of 2023, we repurchased approximately 139 thousand shares of our common stock for aggregate consideration of approximately $3.5 million with remaining authorization under this program of $2.4 million.
