Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. Research Report

On July 25, 2013, Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (Forum) reported its financial results for Q2 2013. Revenue decreased slightly to $367.9 million, from $373.5 million in Q2 2012. Net income attributable to shareholders was $29.9 million or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $44.1 million or $0.49 per diluted share in Q2 2012. Cris Gaut, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Forum, said, "Our second quarter 2013 results were little changed from our first quarter results due primarily to the relatively flat U.S. land rig count and a slower seasonal recovery in Canada. Forum's Production Equipment and Downhole Technologies product lines generated record revenue in the second quarter 2013 on improved well completion activity. We are not planning for any increase in the U.S. land rig count during the second half of 2013. In addition, we continue to see pricing pressure for certain products within Drilling Technologies and Flow Equipment."
