Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On November 4, 2021, Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. 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 and free cash flow,
before acquisitions ("free cash flow"). 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 and free cash flow 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.
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.
