VERNAL, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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, 2022.

“Our second quarter revenue growth reflected the continued improvement in the oil & gas industry, our success with obtaining additional business with existing customers, and the increasing market for our flagship tool, the Drill-N-Ream® (“DNR”),” commented Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO. “We have continued to see favorable demand in our North America market, and we are encouraged with the improving market conditions in the Middle East. We believe there is significant demand for the DNR internationally. Our recent announcement that Bin Zayed Petroleum for Investment Ltd, one of the foremost global companies with broad petroleum experience, will market and distribute our DNR to key end markets in the Middle East and North Africa is a game-changing event for us. We expect customers to adopt the technology quickly given our new channel partner’s scale, customer reach and market access.”

Mr. Meier added, “Our contract services business has been very strong as we continue to expand the volume and products we manufacture and refurbish for our long-time legacy customer. Equally exciting, is the number of inquiries and discussions we are having with other major industry players to leverage our state-of-the-art drilling tool fabrication facility and expertise to support their growth initiatives and strategies. Our efforts going forward are focused on talent acquisition and retention, and ensuring we have the necessary manufacturing capacity to capture the incredible demand for our products and manufacturing services.”

Revenue growth reflects the continued recovery in the North America oil & gas industry and continued strong demand for the manufacture and refurbishment of drill bits and other related tools.

For the second quarter of 2022, North America revenue comprised approximately 89% of total revenue, with remaining sales all within the Middle East. Revenue in North America grew year-over-year from increased Tool Revenue and strong growth in Contract Services. Over the last year, International market growth has been at a slower rate compared with the Company’s domestic market due to ongoing pandemic-related restrictions, which have impacted travel, labor recruitment and oil and gas industry investment.

⁽¹⁾ Adjusted 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 loss to Adjusted EBITDA.

The increase in the cost of revenue as a percent of revenue was the result of global inflationary headwinds that affected payroll expenses, raw material cost, supplies, and repair and maintenance costs. In addition, the Company has expanded its workforce to accommodate for its current and expected growth, with talent being added in operations, quality, safety and general production support areas.

Selling, general & administrative expenses were 41.7% of revenue, an improvement of 160 basis points from the prior-year period due to the leverage on higher sales volume. On a sequential basis, the change in SG&A as a percent of revenue was unfavorable due to inflation and higher stock-based compensation expense as well an increase in professional fees.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately 31% year-over-year to $403 thousand as a result of fully amortizing a portion of intangible assets and fully depreciating manufacturing center equipment.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Cash at the end of the quarter was $2.8 million, comparable with year-end 2021. Cash generated by operations for the year-to-date period was $1.4 million compared with $335 thousand in the prior-year period, largely reflecting the improvement in net income. Capital expenditures were $1.2 million for the first six months of 2022, which reflected machining capacity expansion, an increase in maintenance, and an increase in the Company’s Middle East DNR rental tool fleet. The comparable period in 2021 had $55 thousand of capital spending. The Company expects capital spending for fiscal 2022 to range between $3 million to $4 million.

Total debt at quarter-end was $2.4 million, down 2% from December 31, 2021. The Company has sufficient cash to pay off, and expects to retire, the Hard Rock Note with its final $750 thousand payment in October 2022.

2022 Outlook and Guidance

The Company’s expectations for 2022 are as follows:

Revenue: $22 million to $25 million
SG&A: $7.0 million to $7.3 million
Adjusted EBITDA: $6 million to $8 million

The full year 2022 expectations reflects the impact from the sale of the $3.8 million stage one MENA DNR fleet to Bin Zayed Petroleum in the third quarter of 2022. The Company expects third quarter 2022 revenue will be $8 million to $9 million and Adjusted EBITDA to range between $3.5 million to $4.0 million.

Mr. Meier concluded, “We are extremely encouraged with the execution of our channel partner agreement with Bin Zayed for the Middle East and North African markets. We believe this progress, combined with our expanded relationship with our long-term legacy customer, will position us well in the global oil & gas industry as we prepare to move into 2023.”

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 2022 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.
