VERNAL, UT, August 14, 2023 — 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

 

“We had a strong quarter with revenue up 18% over the second quarter last year. The leverage that we gained from this higher sales volume led to measurably improved operating income and net income, as well as solid EBITDA performance,” commented Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO.

 

He added, “We continued to gain traction in the Middle East as our international revenue doubled year-over-year and accounted for nearly 20% of our total revenue mix during the quarter. We added to our technical sales and business development team and completed our new service and technology center during the quarter. We continue to be encouraged by the many opportunities in the Middle East region.

 

“On the domestic front, given the completion of our capacity expansion in Vernal, Utah, we have begun to refurbish a second customer’s PDC bits as part of our contract services work. Over time, we aim to replicate the success and volume of services performed with that of our long-time legacy customer. Overall, we continue to see our investments in manufacturing capacity and personnel pay off.”

Total Revenue  $5,367#  $6,281#  $4,541    (14.5)%   18.2%

 

Revenue growth year-over-year reflected the recovery in the North America oil & gas industry, strengthened market share for the Drill-N-Ream® (DNR) wellbore conditioning tool domestically and internationally, and continued strong demand for the refurbishment of drill bits and other related tools.

 

For the second quarter of 2023, North America revenue comprised approximately 81% of total revenue, with remaining sales all within the Middle East. Revenue growth year-over-year in North America was due to increased tool revenue and growth in Contract Services. International revenue doubled over last year’s period, which reflected improved market conditions and the strengthening of the Company’s Middle East technical sales and marketing team.

 

The revenue decline from the sequential first quarter of 2023 reflects strong tool sales from the Company’s U.S. channel partner during the prior period, and a decline in the U.S. rig count.

When comparing with the prior-year second quarter, higher volume, improved processes and operational efficiencies drove enhanced leverage despite continued investments in people and higher legal expenses. Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses in the second quarter of 2023 included legal expenses of $450 thousand due to continuing litigation for the Company’s patent infringement lawsuit over violations of the patents on its DNR tool. The increase in SG&A also reflected the expansion of the Company’s Middle East operations.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately 13% year-over-year as a result of fully amortizing a portion of intangible assets and fully depreciating manufacturing center equipment.

 

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

 

Year-to-date cash generated by operations was $921 thousand compared with $1.4 million in the year-ago period. Cash at the end of the quarter was $1.2 million, down $978 thousand from year-end 2022 due to working capital timing, higher capital expenditures, and an increase in inventory for anticipated demand for the DNR in the Middle East. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company received a $750 thousand payment related to delayed accounts receivable.

 

Capital expenditures of $2.4 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.

 

Total debt at quarter-end was $1.9 million. 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.

 

2023 guidance updated to account for decline in the U.S. rig count and additional patent infringement litigation costs

 

As of August 14, 2023   Updated Guidance   Previous Guidance
Revenue   $22.0 million to $24.0 million   $24.0 million to $27.0 million
SG&A expense   $9.0 million to $9.5 million (includes approximately $1.2 million in legal expenses for ongoing patent infringement litigation)   $9.0 million to $10.0 million (includes approximately $1.0 million in legal expenses for ongoing patent infringement litigation)
Adjusted EBITDA1   $5.5 million to $6.5 million   $6.5 million to $7.5 million

Safe Harbor Regarding Forward Looking Statements

 

This news release contains forward-looking statements and information that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. 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.
