VERNAL, UT, November 6, 2020 — 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, 2020.
Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO, commented, “We are taking measures to provide for liquidity while keeping our sights on the long term. Importantly, our results demonstrate that the value of our Drill-N-Ream® well bore conditioning tool has been gaining traction internationally even against the temporary headwinds of current industry conditions. We are now operating in five countries outside of North America, as we are pulled into more regions by global oil field service companies who benefit from the economic value of the DNR technology. In addition, given the documented increase of drilling efficiencies when using the DNR, we believe it also contributes to the reduction of environmental impact while drilling for fossil fuels.”

Year-over-year revenue was down $3.5 million, or 70%. Sequentially, revenue declined about 24%, or $0.5 million demonstrating improving market conditions given the August 2020 low point in U.S. rig count. The market was driven to its low point due to the initial impacts of COVID-19 and the geopolitically driven imbalance of supply and demand in the global oil market. Even as production activity declined around the world, International revenue grew $141 thousand, or 49%, to $429 thousand. This supported total Tool revenue, which was down just 11.4%, a much lower rate than the overall market. The Company attributes these results to the value created from improved drilling efficiencies provided by the DNR.
International revenue grew to 28% of total revenue in the quarter compared with 6% the prior-year period.
Additionally, the Company recognized $41 thousand in other income related to a machine tool lease under an SBA loan that was forgiven as part of the CARES act.

(1)See the attached tables for important disclosures regarding SDP’s use of Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.
The cost of revenue decreased approximately $1.2 million over the prior-year period reflecting lower volume and lower costs resulting from the execution of the first two phases of the Company’s plans to reduce costs to better align with current demand. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales was 56% compared with 41% for prior-year period. The increase reflects lower absorption of overhead costs on reduced volume.
The 39% decline in selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A), which includes research and development projects, was primarily due to Phases I and II of cost reduction measures initiated in April 2020.
The Company has reduced its monthly cash burn rate to approximately $700 thousand through further payroll reductions beginning October 23, 2020. This is down 22% from the previous level of approximately $200 thousand per month. The Company expects that at this rate, and given expected improvements in monthly revenue, it will achieve cash break even entering into 2021.
Net loss for the quarter was $1.7 million, compared with a net loss of $418 thousand in the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA(1), a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense and unusual items, was a negative $607 thousand.

The Company believes that when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, helps in the understanding of its operating performance.
Year-to-Date Review
Revenue in the first nine months of 2020 was $8.9 million, compared with $14.0 million in the same period in 2019. International revenue increased 121% in the first nine months, and U.S. revenue was down just 47%, while the average U.S. rig count market declined by 52%. The first nine months of 2020 were impacted by the effect COVID-19 has had on the demand for oil and gas which resulted in a significant reduction in drilling activity in the U.S.
Tool revenue was $6.1 million, down 33%, or $3.1 million, from the prior-year period. Contract Services revenue decreased approximately $2.7 million, or 49%, to $2.8 million. Net loss for the first nine months of 2020 was $2.8 million, or $(0.11) per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the first nine months of 2020 was $391 thousand. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 4.4% in 2020, compared with 22.9% in 2019.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Cash at the end of the quarter was $1.4 million, up from $1.2 million at the end of 2019, but down from $2.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020. Cash used in operations in the third quarter of 2020 was $842 thousand.
Total debt at the end of the third quarter was $6.7 million, down $0.2 million, or 3.6%, compared with $6.9 million at June 30, 2020.
Strategy and outlook
Mr. Meier concluded, “We expect that as the DNR is actively employed in new basins around the world and we further diversify our customer base, revenue should improve from here. We are working to develop the logistical and partnership structures to continue to penetrate international markets and globally improve how fossil fuels are produced.”
Definitions and Composition of Product/Service Revenue:
Contract Services Revenue is comprised of drill bit and other repair and manufacturing services.
Other Related Tool Revenue is comprised of royalties and fleet maintenance fees.

(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.
