Forum Energy reports Q1 EPS 47c, two estimates 44c

Reports Q1 revenue $208.7M, two estimates $201.3M. Neal Lux, CEO, remarked, “FET‘s first quarter results continued our momentum from 2025, with revenue and adjusted EBITDA growing 8% and 14% year-over-year. We received strong orders for our differentiated products and increased our backlog 44% compared to the first quarter 2025. The execution of our “Beat the Market” strategy continues to yield share gains. The conflict in the Middle East has produced significant hardships for the region. Thankfully, our employees remain safe and we experienced minimal impact to our financial results. Longer term, we expect elevated commodity prices and increased upstream spending to drive demand for FET’s innovative products and technology. The combination of market expansion and our “Beat the Market” strategy’s results provide additional confidence we will achieve our long-term FET 2030 goals. In the near term, we expect second quarter results to increase substantially, with adjusted EBITDA between $24 and $30 million. This performance will be driven by backlog conversion, cost savings, and market share gains. While we are seeing signs of increased industry activity, our current forecast conservatively assumes a flat market. However, with a strong start to the year, we are raising the mid-point of our full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $103 million, a 20% percent increase over 2025 results.”
