Rhea-AI Summary
Drilling Tools International Corp. (NASDAQ: DTI) reported its 2023 full year results and provided a promising 2024 full year outlook. The company's revenue reached $152 million, with net income at $14.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $51 million. DTI aims to more than double its adjusted free cash flow in 2024, supported by strategic acquisitions and a strong rental model.
Positive
  • DTI's 2023 full year results showcased revenue of $152 million, net income of $14.7 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $51 million.
  • The company plans to significantly increase its adjusted free cash flow in 2024, building on successful strategic acquisitions and a robust rental model.
  • DTI's acquisitions of Superior Drilling Products, Inc. and Deep Casing Tools, along with strengthening its balance sheet, position the company for growth and shareholder value enhancement.
  • With over 65,000 rental tools in its fleet, DTI aims to support customers' drilling and producing activities efficiently, backed by a strong market presence in North America and the Gulf of Mexico.
  • The company's M&A framework and pipeline indicate a strategic consolidation in the oilfield service rental tool industry, focusing on expansion in Europe and the Middle East to drive innovation and market growth.
Negative
  • DTI's adjusted free cash flow decreased in 2023 compared to 2022 due to higher capital expenditures, impacting shareholder returns.
  • Operating expenses rose in 2023, driven by costs related to going public and increased administrative expenses.
  • The industry's second half rig count and market activity declines in 2023 affected DTI's financial performance, leading to a decrease in adjusted free cash flow.
  • DTI's 2023 operating income and adjusted free cash flow were lower than the previous year, primarily due to increased capital expenditure to meet customer demand and future growth.

Insights

The full year outlook provided by Drilling Tools International Corp. (DTI) suggests a significant increase in adjusted free cash flow, which is a key indicator of financial health. This projection may indicate that DTI is expecting operational efficiency improvements or a reduction in capital expenditures relative to its cash earnings. Investors often look at free cash flow as it represents the cash a company can generate after accounting for capital expenditures needed to maintain or expand its asset base, which is important for paying dividends, repurchasing shares, or investing in new projects.

Additionally, the expansion of the ABL Credit Facility and the new term loan with PNC Bank could signal a strategic move to leverage debt financing to fuel growth without diluting shareholder equity. However, it's essential to monitor the cost of capital and the company's ability to service this debt, especially in an industry subject to volatile commodity prices. The increased borrowing capacity and improved interest rates, along with the removal of certain financial covenants, provide DTI with greater financial flexibility to pursue its growth strategy and M&A activities.

DTI's focus on a rental model for downhole tools in the oilfield services sector is a strategic choice that may provide resilience during periods of market volatility. By maintaining a fleet of rental tools rather than selling capital-intensive equipment, DTI can quickly adapt to changing market demands and potentially reduce fixed costs. This agility is particularly advantageous in the oil and gas industry, where drilling activities fluctuate with commodity prices.

The company's recent acquisitions and its emphasis on expanding its presence in Europe and the Middle East suggest a targeted approach to growth. By broadening its geographic footprint and enhancing its product offerings, DTI is working to diversify its revenue streams and mitigate the risks associated with dependence on a single market. The success of these initiatives will likely hinge on the company's ability to integrate acquisitions effectively and capitalize on synergies.

DTI's performance and strategy must be analyzed within the context of the broader energy sector, particularly the oilfield services market. The company's robust results, despite a declining rig count in the second half of 2023, suggest that it has managed to maintain its market share and possibly benefit from increased drilling efficiency. The oilfield services industry is notoriously cyclical and DTI's ability to scale operations and deploy rental tools across multiple locations could provide a buffer against these cycles.

However, the sector is also facing a long-term transition towards renewable energy sources and companies within this space will need to navigate this shift. DTI's focus on innovative solutions through acquisitions could be part of a strategy to remain competitive in a changing landscape. Investors should consider the potential long-term implications of energy transition policies on the demand for oilfield services when evaluating DTI's future prospects.

Company Provides 2024 Full Year Outlook

Estimated adjusted free cash flow to more than double in 2024 

HOUSTON, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Drilling Tools International Corp., (NASDAQ: DTI) ("DTI" or the "Company"), a global oilfield services company that manufactures and provides a differentiated, rental-focused offering of tools for use in onshore and offshore horizontal and directional drilling operations, today reported its 2023 full year results and provided its 2024 full year outlook.

Wayne Prejean, CEO of DTI, stated, "We are pleased to report that after only eight months as a public company, we are successfully implementing the strategic plans we outlined during our public offering. On top of reporting robust results for 2023, we have been extremely active since year end by: 1) entering into a definitive agreement to acquire Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (NYSE American: SDPI) ("SDP"); 2) closing the acquisition of Deep Casing Tools; and 3) improving liquidity and strengthening our balance sheet by amending and extending our ABL Credit Facility. This provides for a revolving line of credit in a principal amount of up to $80 million and a single draw term loan in a principal amount of $25 million, both maturing in March 2029, to further support our growth strategy.

"As a market leader in providing downhole tool rentals for both North American land and Gulf of Mexico deepwater drilling operations, DTI's extensive rental model, broad distribution capabilities and diverse customer base across multiple basins provides us with a significant competitive advantage and through-cycle outperformance, especially during volatile commodity price cycles. In contrast to larger capital-intensive equipment companies in the oilfield services sector, our rental tools are easily deployable to various locations to serve our clients' needs. We believe the ability to scale our operations as needed across our extensive footprint allows us to better support customers in the field, and, with over 65,000 rental tools in our fleet, we are well positioned to support our customers' complex drilling and producing activities."

Prejean continued, "Additionally, we have established an M&A framework and robust M&A pipeline that will allow us to selectively and strategically consolidate the oilfield service rental tool industry. Our recent acquisition of Deep Casing Tools and our pending acquisition of SDP are outstanding examples of how we are expanding DTI's growth opportunities, both domestically and internationally, with a particular focus on our presence in Europe and the Middle East. We are confident that these and future acquisitions will drive innovation, expand our footprint and addressable market, enhance our product offerings, and, as a result, increase shareholder value."

Selected 2023 Financial and Operating Results

DTI generated total consolidated revenue of $152 million in 2023, an increase of 17.4% compared to 2022. 

2023 Tool Rental net revenue was $119.2 million, an increase of 20.4% compared to 2022 due to a strong first half performance and maintaining a solid market share despite a declining rig count in the second half of 2023.

2023 Product Sales net revenue totaled $32.8 million, an increase of 7.4% compared to 2022. The increase was driven by a strong first half as well as ongoing tool recovery revenue which occurs as part of the rental tool lifecycle.

2023 operating expenses were $124.1 million compared to $104.3 million in 2022, resulting from the added costs of going public as well as additional administrative and compliance expenses.

2023 operating income was $27.9 million, compared to  $25.3 million in 2022.

2023 Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $51.0 million, compared to $41.2 million in 2022.

2023 Adjusted free cash flow(1)(2) was $7.3 million, compared to $16.5 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to approximately $19 million more capital expenditure dollars spent in 2023 compared to 2022.  This increased investment was needed to meet customer demand for new products and future growth.

2023 fourth quarter results reflected the industry's continued second half rig count and market activity declines.  DTI was able to scale back on capital expenditures in order to meet its adjusted free cash flow target of $6 to $8 million, defined as Adjusted EBITDA less Gross Capital Expenditures, which is a unique lever at its disposal to generate returns in lieu of growth. Management views this metric as a good measure of the overall performance of its business.

At December 31, 2023, DTI had $6 million of cash and cash equivalents and no debt.

Subsequent to year end, on March 18, 2024, DTI announced that it completed an amendment to its existing Amended and Restated Senior Secured Asset‑Based Revolving Credit, Security and Guaranty Agreement, with PNC Business Credit, a division of PNC Bank. This ABL Amendment, among other provisions, increased the borrowing capacity from $60 million to $80 million, improved its interest rate and removed certain restrictive financial covenants. The maturity date of the ABL Credit Facility was extended to March 2029. Additionally, DTI entered into a new $25 million term loan with PNC to further support its growth strategy. The Term Loan also matures in March 2029.

2024 Outlook

"Looking forward, we are excited about our market opportunities and expect to more than double our adjusted free cash flow in 2024 as we prepare for increased market-driven demand for our rental tools and services for the remainder of the decade," added Prejean. "Additionally, while our growth has historically been tied to rig count, we have aligned our business to be positively impacted by the trend of longer laterals being drilled in multi-well pads. Our customers benefit from efficiencies and lower drilling costs when using our proprietary and technologically advanced rental tools.

"Our full-year 2024 outlook below includes the recent Deep Casing Tools acquisition's estimated impact on 2024 results, but does not include any contribution from the pending acquisition of Superior Drilling Products. We will update 2024 guidance to include SDP once we close the transaction," concluded Prejean.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow measures. Each of the metrics are "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net earnings or cash flows as determined by GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for (i) goodwill and/or long-lived asset impairment charges, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) restructuring charges, (iv) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions and (v) other expenses or charges to exclude certain items that we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance of our business.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to supplement the GAAP measures in order to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, and we define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less Gross Capital Expenditures. We use Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a financial performance measure used for planning, forecasting, and evaluating our performance. We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to enable investors and others to perform comparisons of current and historical performance of the Company. As a performance measure, rather than a liquidity measure, the most closely comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss).

The following tables present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the periods indicated:
