Superior Drilling Products Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

  • Third quarter revenue was $5.1 million
  • Strengthened international technical support group to capitalize on significant

    near- and long-term opportunities
  • Creating greater value of underlying operations to drive value for strategic initiatives effort
  • Generated strong cash from operations of $3.2 million in the quarter and $4.1 million year-to-date compared with $1.3 million during the prior-year period
  • Reaffirmed 2023 outlook

Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (NYSE American: SDPI) (“SDP” or the “Company”), a designer and manufacturer of drilling tool technologies, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO, commented, “Our results were solid considering the significant decline in U.S. rig count throughout the year. On the international front, we grew year-over-year and remain excited about the many opportunities to drive future growth. During the quarter, we continued to improve our international technical support group, advanced our international ISO quality standards to enable expansion to the U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia, and are preparing our new localized service and technology center for future bit refurbishment work. Ultimately, our efforts are to create the underlying foundation to better position the Company to capture opportunities and support our strategic review efforts as we evaluate options that will drive the greatest value for all stakeholders.”

He added, “Given the continued pressure on the U.S. market, at the beginning of the fourth quarter we rationalized our domestic operations to better match expected near-term demand. These changes are expected to result in annual expense savings of approximately $600 thousand, with one-time severance expenses to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2023.”

The Company’s North America revenue has been pressured by a continuing decline in the U.S. rig count, which impacted Drill-N-Ream® (DNR) tool sales and contract services work. The average U.S. rig count of 650 in the third quarter of 2023 was down 111 rigs, or 15%, from the prior-year period. After the end of the third quarter of 2023, the U.S. rig count further declined to 618.

For the third quarter of 2023, North America revenue comprised approximately 88% of total revenue, with remaining sales all within the Middle East.

Timing of revenue growth from the Company’s Middle East strategy contributed to sequential revenue decline for the quarter. While the U.S. rig count has continued to decline through the year, the international rig count has increased from 900 rigs at the end of 2022 to 962 rigs at the end of October 2023.

1Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, and unusual items. See the attached tables for important disclosures regarding SDP’s use of Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 50% year-over-year largely due to the Company’s international expansion, which included the hiring of technical sales and business development personnel and significant travel-related expenses in support of the business development activities. Also included in SG&A were legal expenses of $260 thousand due to continuing litigation for the Company’s patent infringement lawsuit over violations of the patents on its DNR tool and $80 thousand in fees as part of the Company’s strategic review process.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased as a result of fully amortizing intangible assets and fully depreciating manufacturing center equipment.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company received $199 thousand from a non-management shareholder due to short-swing SEC profit rules. The funds were recognized as other income. Partially offsetting those gains was a $43 thousand expense due to an early redemption fee as part of the Company’s debt refinancing during the quarter.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On July 28, 2023, the Company executed a new credit agreement with Vast Bank, National Association, which included a 5-year, $1.7 million term loan, a 2-year, $750,000 revolving credit line, and a program whereby the lender can purchase certain accounts receivable. The proceeds from the receivables program were used to repay the full amount outstanding under the Company’s prior credit agreement. Total debt at quarter-end was $2.5 million.

Year-to-date cash generated by operations was $4.1 million compared with $1.3 million in the year-ago period. Cash at the end of the quarter was $4.3 million, double the balance from year-end 2022, reflecting improved working capital and the timing associated with the program whereby the Company’s lender had purchased certain accounts receivables. After quarter end, in October, SDP made a $1.2 million payment to its lender as part of the accounts receivable lending program.

Capital expenditures of $3.1 million year-to-date were largely in support of the Company’s Middle East operations, which included the DNR rental tool fleet and the new service and technology center that opened in the second quarter. The Company expects capital spending for fiscal 2023 to range between $3.5 million to $4.0 million.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this release, including, without limitations, the Company’s strategic review process, the continued impact of COVID-19 on the business, the Company’s strategy, future operations, success at developing future tools, the Company’s effectiveness at executing its business strategy and plans, financial position, estimated revenue and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, and ability to outperform are forward-looking statements. The use of words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential,” “project”, “forecast,” “should” or “plan, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward -looking statements contain such identifying words. These statements reflect the beliefs and expectations of the Company and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, the effectiveness of success at expansion in the Middle East, options available for market channels in North America, the deferral of the commercialization of the Strider technology, the success of the Company’s business strategy and prospects for growth; the market success of the Company’s specialized tools, effectiveness of its sales efforts, its cash flow and liquidity; financial projections and actual operating results; the amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures; the availability and terms of capital; competition and government regulations; the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and related impact on the oil and natural gas industry; and general economic conditions.

Forward Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Forward-looking adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort largely because forecasting or predicting our future operating results is subject to many factors out of our control or not readily predictable. In addition, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s fiscal 2023 and future financial results. This non-GAAP financial measure is a preliminary estimate and is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with purchase accounting, quarter-end, and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and preliminary financial data set forth in this presentation may be material.

1 Adjusted EBITDA represents net income adjusted for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization and other items as noted in the reconciliation table. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure of operating performance and uses it to assess performance and inform operating decisions. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP financial measure. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for GAAP measures of performance, including net cash provided by operations, operating income, and net income. The Company’s method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may vary substantially from the methods used by other companies and investors are cautioned not to rely unduly on it.
