Analysis · FET · Energy & Transportation
A standout quarter for Forum Energy Technologies saw revenue climb 13% to $226 million and net income jump 61% to $12.4 million. The Drilling and Completions segment led the charge, fueled by subsea ROV and part sales, while higher sand and flow control product sales boosted the Artificial Lift and Downhole segment. Volume leverage and cost-saving initiatives drove sharply wider operating margins across both segments. Strengthening its financial footing, the company extended its credit facility maturity to 2031 and lowered borrowing costs. With $62 million in available liquidity and a $39.5 million backlog, Forum is well-positioned to navigate ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in energy markets.
