On July 30, 2026 , Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “ Company ”) issued a press release announcing earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. 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 EBITDA margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted net income per diluted share (“Adjusted Diluted EPS”), book to bill ratio, free cash flow before acquisitions (“free cash flow”) and net leverage ratio. 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 EBITDA margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, Adjusted Diluted EPS, book to bill ratio, free cash flow and net leverage ratio 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.
