  • Strong demand for SDP’s flagship Drill-N-Ream® (DNR) wellbore conditioning tool and contract services for the manufacture and refurbishment of drill bits drove annual revenue growth of 43%, or $5.8 million, to $19.1 million
    • Annual tool revenue grew 34% and Contract Services revenue was up 65%
  • Fourth quarter revenue increased $1.3 million, or 33%, to $5.3 million over the prior-year period

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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

“2022 was a strong year for SDP as our team continued to execute well to meet increasing demand for our tools and services. We delivered revenue growth of 43%, expanded our margins, and measurably improved the bottom line with net income of nearly $1.1 million, our highest level since becoming a public company,” commented Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO. “We have been building out our team, both domestically and internationally, and have been making important infrastructure investments to not only capture current demand, but to set the stage for our next level of expected growth, particularly within the Middle East where we are building a favorable reputation. In further support of our international goals, we are on track to launch our new service and technology center in that region during the second quarter of 2023. We believe this will provide a number of sustainable benefits, including greater local awareness for talent, provide for rapid response to opportunities, and lower transportation costs given the localized inventory and refurbishment services.”

Mr. Meier added, “Equally important to our business and future is the expansion of our contract services, where we continue to successfully meet our long-time legacy customers’ growth in demand. With our domestic facility enhancements and expansion now complete, we are poised to capture new contract service opportunities.”

Revenue growth reflects the continued recovery in the North America oil & gas industry and improving market conditions in the Middle East. Strong demand for the manufacture and refurbishment of drill bits and other related tools for the Company’s long-time legacy customer also reflected improving North America end market conditions.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, North America revenue comprised approximately 86% of total revenue, with remaining revenue all within the Middle East. Revenue in North America grew 28% year-over-year from increased Tool Revenue and strong growth in Contract Services, while International revenue was up 79% on greater DNR penetration.

(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 income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

On a year-over-year basis, the Company effectively leveraged its expenses with higher sales volume, despite global inflationary headwinds and an expansion of the Company’s workforce to accommodate for its current and expected demand. On a sequential basis, the increase in the selling, general and administrative expenses largely were due to additional litigation costs in support of the Company’s patent infringement lawsuit.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 22.5% year-over-year to $328 thousand due to fully amortizing a portion of intangible assets and fully depreciating manufacturing center equipment.

The 2021 fourth quarter included $707 thousand in other income related to the recovery of a related party note receivable, whereas 2022 did not have a similar benefit.

Revenue was $19.1 million and grew 43% over the prior year as a result of an improved market and increased demand for the DNR, combined with strong demand for the Company’s contract services. Revenue in North America was up 46%, while International growth was 27%.

Operating income measurably improved due to the leverage gained from higher sales volume combined with prudent expense management, while still investing in facilities and people to drive growth domestically and internationally.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Cash at year-end was $2.2 million. Net cash generated by operations for the year was $3.5 million compared with $0.5 million in the prior-year period, which reflected higher net income and improved working capital timing, partially offset by an increase in inventory to combat supply chain inefficiencies and in support of the Company’s growth.

Full year 2022 capital expenditures of $3.3 million were related to machining capacity expansion, higher maintenance activities, and an increase in the Company’s Middle East DNR rental tool fleet. The Company expects its capital spending for fiscal 2023 to range between $3.0 million to $3.5 million.

Total debt was down 33% to $1.7 million at December 31, 2022, which largely reflects the final $750 thousand principal payment made on the Hard Rock Note in October.

2023 Guidance

Revenue: $24.0 million to $27.0 million

SG&A: $9.0 million to $10.0 million

Adjusted EBITDA(1): $6.5 million to $7.5 million

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 duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and related impact on the oil and natural gas industry, 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; 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.
