Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Introduction
On November 1, 2023, Forum Energy Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Forum”) and Forum Canada ULC, an Alberta corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Forum (the “Purchaser”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with (i) Variperm Holdings Ltd., an Alberta corporation (“Variperm”), (ii) Variperm Energy Services Partnership, an Alberta general partnership (“VES Partnership”), (iii) Jamie Olson, a resident of Alberta (“Olson”), (iv) Elise Robertson, a resident of Alberta (“Robertson”), (v) Slotting RemainCo Limited Partnership, an Alberta limited partnership (“RemainCo” and together with VES Partnership, Olson and Robertson, the “Sellers”), and (vi) VES Partnership in its capacity as the representative of the Sellers. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser purchased from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Variperm (the “Transaction”) on January 4, 2024 (the “Closing Date”) and Variperm became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser.
The base purchase price for the Transaction was (i) 2.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Forum (the “Stock Consideration”) and (ii) an amount of cash equal to $150.3 million (the “Cash Consideration”), subject to customary purchase price adjustments for cash, indebtedness, transaction expenses and working capital as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Cash Consideration was funded from cash on hand, borrowings under the ABL facility (as defined herein), and the Seller Term Loan (as defined herein) (collectively, the “Debt Financing”).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by Forum in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, is derived from:
•the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Forum and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in Forum’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 5, 2024;
•the historical audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 of Variperm, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Forum’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024; and
•the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of Variperm, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to Forum’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024.
Variperm’s unaudited condensed combined statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023 is derived by subtracting the historical unaudited consolidated statement of earnings and retained earnings of Variperm for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the historical audited consolidated statement of earnings and retained earnings of Variperm for the year ended December 31, 2022 and adding the historical unaudited consolidated statement of earnings and retained earnings of Variperm for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as permitted under Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X.
The historical financial statements of Forum and Variperm have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to events which are necessary to account for the Transaction and the Debt Financing, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The Transaction is accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with Forum assumed as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting, the total consideration will be allocated to Variperm’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the Closing Date. The process of valuing the net assets of Variperm at the Closing Date, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary. Any differences between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the
fair value of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is preliminary and represents Forum’s current best estimate of fair value and is subject to revision.
As a result of the foregoing, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the preliminary information available and management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The actual purchase accounting assessment may vary based on final analyses of the valuation of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the combined company’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Transaction and the Debt Financing been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the combined company’s future results of operations or financial position for any future period. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Transaction and the Debt Financing, which includes adjustments for the following:
•Certain reclassifications and U.S. GAAP adjustments to conform Variperm’s historical financial statement presentation to Forum’s presentation and accounting policies.
•Application of the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC 805 and to reflect estimated consideration of approximately $194.6 million.
•Proceeds and uses of the drawdown from the Credit Agreement Amendment (as defined herein) and Seller Term Loan (as defined herein) entered in connection with the Transaction; and
•Non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the Transaction.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared using the historical balance sheets of Forum as of December 31, 2023, and Variperm as of September 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement was prepared using:
•the historical audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) of Forum for the year ended December 31, 2023; and
•the constructed unaudited condensed combined statement of comprehensive income (loss) of Variperm for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023.
Variperm’s unaudited condensed combined statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023 is derived by subtracting the historical unaudited consolidated statement of earnings and retained earnings of Variperm for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the historical audited consolidated statement of earnings and retained earnings of Variperm for the year ended December 31, 2022 and adding the historical unaudited consolidated statement of earnings and retained earnings of Variperm for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as permitted under Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X.
Forum’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”). Variperm’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises in Canada (“ASPE”) and presented in Canadian dollars (“CAD”). The financial information of Variperm has been translated from CAD to USD including certain reclassifications and U.S. GAAP adjustments to conform Variperm’s historical financial statement presentation to Forum’s financial statement presentation.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with Forum assumed as the accounting acquirer and based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Forum and Variperm. Under ASC 805, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their assumed Closing Date fair value, while transaction costs associated with a business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of Transaction consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet is presented as if the Transaction and the Debt Financing had occurred on December 31, 2023, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2023, give effect to the Transaction and the Debt Financing as if they occurred on January 1, 2023.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies or dis-synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the Transaction and integration costs that may be incurred. The pro forma adjustments represent Forum’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that Forum believes are reasonable under the circumstances. There are no material transactions between Forum and Variperm during the periods presented.
For purposes of preparing the pro forma financial information, the historical financial information of Variperm and related pro forma adjustments was translated from CAD to USD using the following historical exchange rates:
Closing exchange rate as of September 30, 2023
0.7361
Average exchange rate for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023
0.7415
6
These exchange rates may differ from future exchange rates which would have an impact on the pro forma financial information and would also impact purchase accounting.
Note 2. Description of the Debt Financing
Seller Term Loan
Forum entered into the Second Lien Seller Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Seller Term Loan”) by and among Forum, as borrower, the Sellers and certain of the option holders (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), as lenders (the “Lenders”), and VES Partnership, as administrative and collateral agent for each of the Lenders. Pursuant to the Seller Term Loan, Forum borrowed $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of term loans (the “Term Loans”), which mature in December 2026. The Term Loans bear interest at the rate of (i) 11.0% per year for the period commencing on the Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 17.0% per annum for the period commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date through the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) 17.5% per annum for the period commencing on the second anniversary of the Closing Date through the maturity date. Forum incurred approximately $1.5 million in fees in connection with the Seller Term Loan.
Credit Agreement Amendment
Additionally, in connection with the Transaction, Forum entered into an amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2017 (as amended, restated and supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), among Forum, as borrower, the other borrowers party thereto, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other parties named therein. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Credit Agreement (i) was modified to, among other things, (a) permit the incurrence of new secured notes in an amount not to exceed $200.0 million and (b) update the CDOR provisions with Term Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average and (ii) was modified as of the Closing Date, to, among other things, (a) extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to September 8, 2028, (b) permit the Transaction, (c) permit the incurrence of the Seller Term Loan in an amount not to exceed $60.0 million, in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, and (d) increase the aggregate revolving commitments from $179.0 million to $250.0 million. The financing commitments under the Credit Agreement (the “ABL facility”) are subject to various customary conditions set forth therein. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects that Forum borrowed $90.0 million under the Credit Agreement in connection with the Transaction. Forum incurred approximately $1.4 million in fees in connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment.
Note 3. Reclassification and U.S. GAAP Adjustments
During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, management performed a preliminary review of Variperm’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies compared to those of Forum’s and differences in financial statement presentation compared to the presentation of Forum. At the time of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, other than the adjustments described herein, Forum is not aware of any other material differences. However, Forum will continue to perform its detailed review of Variperm’s accounting policies, including compliance with U.S. GAAP standards. Upon completion of that review, differences may be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies that when confirmed could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note 4. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet
Transaction Adjustments
The Transaction is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their Closing Date fair values, with any excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired, if any, recorded as goodwill.
(A) The accounting for the Transaction is based on currently available information and is considered preliminary. The final accounting for the Transaction may differ materially from that presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The adjustment reflects the impact of the Cash Consideration, the Stock Consideration, and all transaction expenses. Refer to the following table for the computation of the preliminary estimated fair value of consideration transferred:

The determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets of Variperm and the allocation of the estimated consideration to these identifiable assets and liabilities is preliminary and is pending finalization of various estimates, inputs and analyses. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when Forum has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final Transaction consideration allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the preliminary estimated Transaction consideration allocation presented herein. Any increase or decrease in fair values of the net assets as compared with the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information may change the amount of the total Transaction consideration allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the combined company statements of comprehensive income (loss) due to adjustments in the depreciation and amortization of the adjusted assets.
