HOUSTON, July 26, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FET) today reported second quarter 2012 revenue of $374 million, up forty-five percent over second quarter 2011 revenue of $257 million. Net income for the second quarter 2012 was $44 million, compared to second quarter 2011 net income of $14 million.

Second Quarter Results by Segment

Drilling & Subsea

Drilling & Subsea revenue in the second quarter 2012 was $223 million, an increase of seventeen percent over pro forma revenue of $190 million in the second quarter 2011. Pro forma results for the second quarter 2011 include full period contribution from acquisitions that were completed later in 2011, as if those acquired businesses had been included in the financial results for the second quarter 2011. All three product lines within Drilling & Subsea generated year over year growth, with the Drilling Technologies product line generating nearly twenty percent growth over pro forma revenue in the second quarter 2011. Reflecting the continued strengthening of demand for our PerryTM work class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), the Subsea Technologies product line generated seventeen percent revenue growth in the second quarter 2012 over pro forma second quarter 2011. In addition to strong top line growth, Subsea Technologies significantly improved its operating margin percentage over the same quarter last year.

Production & Infrastructure

Production & Infrastructure revenue in the second quarter 2012 was $151 million, a thirty percent increase over pro forma revenue of $116 million in the second quarter 2011. Forum's Production Equipment product line generated more than forty percent revenue growth over second quarter 2011 results on strong demand for production and processing equipment and an expanded customer base. The Valve Solutions product line also generated strong top line and operating margin improvement in the second quarter 2012, with improved distribution and strong market penetration of new valve products facilitating these improvements.

Review and Outlook

Cris Gaut, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Forum, remarked, "Forum delivered solid revenue improvement due to strong organic growth across our product lines and the continued integration of the eight acquisitions we completed in 2011. Our revenue growth was attributable to an increase in demand for many of our products, such as our deepwater ROVs and wellsite production and process equipment, as well as the introduction of significant new product offerings. Demand for our valves also improved as a result of increased activity in the Canadian heavy oil and U.S. pipeline sectors.

"Forum is performing very well as reflected in our first half results, and our prospects remain bright for the balance of the year, with the exception of our Flow Equipment product line. The weakness experienced by our pressure pumping customers is reducing demand for our flow equipment, and we expect this to continue for the balance of the year. The outlook for Downhole Technologies, the other new product line we added through acquisitions in 2011, remains strong as international and offshore orders begin to ramp up. Each of our other four product lines is delivering very good results, and their prospects remain positive."

Forum provides diluted earnings per share guidance for full year 2012 of $1.85 to $2.00.

Significant Recent Events

The second quarter 2012 saw a number of significant orders and product development milestones. Among these were:

  • Award to our Drilling Technologies product line of complete pipe handling packages for seven rigs, each of which includes Forum's Offline Activity Crane, WranglerTM 120 Iron Roughneck, WranglerTM PW5000 Elevated Catwalk and a Rotating Mousehole tool
  • Award to our Production Equipment product line for ninety oil production separator systems ordered by a major North American producer
  • Our sixth recent, and first international, award for the EDGETM II desalting technology processing equipment to be installed in the largest refinery in Colombia
  • Delivery and first field use of the Subsea Technologies' PerryTM XT1200 trencher, a first of a kind deepwater vehicle used for subsea pipeline and cable laying operations
