VERNAL, UT, November 14, 2014 — Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (NYSE MKT: SDPI) (“SDPI” or the “Company”), a provider of drilling products for the oil, natural gas and mining services industries today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. Financial results include Hard Rock Solutions, LLC (“Hard Rock”) which was acquired on May 29, 2014. With the acquisition, SDPI gained the innovative Drill-N-Ream^TM, a well bore conditioning tool.

 

Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO of Superior Drilling Products, noted, “The quarter was a solid success as demand for both our Drill-N-Ream tool and manufacturing and refurbishing services continued to grow. We achieved quite a lot in the quarter:

 

·

We made great strides in building out our sales force and introducing the Drill-N-Ream to new customers, while also gaining ground with existing customers.

 

·

We reached 107 runs in the quarter and averaged 35 runs per month, up from 29 runs in June. In fact, in October we had 46 runs.

 

·

Our well bore conditioning tool is being used by customers now in vertical wells, a new opportunity that expands our addressable market.

 

·

And importantly, our engineering staff has captured data validating that our tool increases power to the bit, reduces torque on the drill string and reduces vibration of the bottom hole assembly. In effect, the empirical evidence demonstrates that the Drill-N-Ream improves productivity and reduces costs."

 

Third quarter 2014 revenue was $5.8 million, up $2.8 million, or 92% from the third quarter of 2013. The acquisition generated approximately $2.3 million in revenue, including $0.2 million in tool sales. Organic revenue was up $0.9 million, or 36%, to $3.4 million compared with the prior-year period. Organic revenue represents the Company’s drill bit refurbishing and custom fabrication services. Prior to the acquisition, SDPI received royalty income on the Drill-N-Ream tool's rental revenue. Third quarter 2014 revenue included $0.1 million of pre-acquisition royalty income received in the quarter. Royalty income in the prior-year period was $0.5 million.

 

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter. The adjustment excludes intangible asset amortization expense associated with the acquisition of $0.6 million, $0.4 million of non-recurring expenses and $0.3 million for the loss on disposition of assets. GAAP net loss was $0.7 million, or $0.04 per share. See attached tables for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss to adjusted net income.

Third Quarter 2014 Review

 

During the quarter, SDPI averaged 13 customers per month running its well bore conditioning tool, up from six in June. The tool was used in five new basins. The average revenue per run was approximately $19,500. While the average rate per run is expected to continue to decline as a result of operating in shorter laterals in the new basins, the tools’ operating costs also decline. With shorter laterals, each tool can perform more runs, there are fewer repairs between runs and, therefore, transportation costs are lower as well.

 

Total operating expenses were $6.1 million, up from $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2013. The third quarter was the first full quarter of expenses for SDPI post IPO. The increase in the cost of revenue represented higher volume and investments in distribution centers. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $2.3 million to $3.1 million. Included in SG&A were approximately $0.4 million of the previously mentioned costs which are not expected to occur in future periods. Additional increases to SG&A included $0.9 million related to the Company’s growing sales force and increased staffing for accounting and controls and to support the Company’s growth. Depreciation and amortization (D&A) was up $0.8 million to $1.2 million primarily as a result of the acquisition.

 

Operating loss was $0.4 million compared with operating income of $1.0 million in the prior-year period.

 

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, unusual items and the loss on disposition of assets (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was $1.3 million, or 22.4% of revenue. Unusual items included non-recurring expenses of approximately $0.4 million of legal fees, professional fees and advertising expenses, as well as costs associated with listing as a public company. The loss on the disposition of assets was $0.3 million. 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. See the attached tables for important disclosures regarding SDPI’s use of Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

 

Year-to-Date 2014 Review

 

Sales for the first nine months of 2014 were $14.0 million, an increase of 59%, or $5.2 million when compared with the prior-year period. The acquisition contributed $3.0 million in revenue for the year-to-date period, of which $0.2 million was from tool sales. Organic revenue was $10.5 million, up 42%. Included in revenue for the 2014 nine-month period was $0.5 million of pre-acquisition royalty income. There was $1.4 million royalty income reported in the 2013 period.

 

Total operating expense for the first nine months of 2014 were $12.3 million compared with
$5.9 million in the prior-year period. Operating income was $1.7 million compared with $2.9 million in the prior-year period. Operating margin as a percent of sales was 12.1%.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure as defined above, was $4.6 million, or 33.2% of revenue, compared with $3.7 million, or 42.1% of revenue, in the prior-year period. See the attached tables for important disclosures regarding SDPI’s use of EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA.

 

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $2.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Adjusted net income excludes a onetime, non-cash, deferred tax expense of $1.1 million related to the reorganization of the Company from a limited liability organization to a corporation. It also excludes $0.8 million pretax, intangible asset amortization expense associated with the acquisition, $0.4 million of non-recurring expenses as discussed for the quarter period and the $0.3 million loss on disposition of assets. GAAP net loss was $0.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. See attached tables for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted net income.

Solid Balance Sheet

 

Cash provided by operations in the first nine months of 2014 increased $0.7 million over the prior-year period. Cash on hand at September 30, 2014 was $6.0 million, down from
$7.7 million at June 30, 2014 and up from $11,256 at December 31, 2013.

 

Total debt as of September 30, 2014 was $22.5 million. Debt, net of cash, was $16.5 million compared with $19.8 million at December 31, 2013.

 

Capital expenditures for the third quarter were $0.4 million, and 2014 year-to-date capital expenditures totaled $0.9 million. For the full year of 2014, capital expenditures are forecasted to be approximately $2.7 million.

 

Outlook for 2014

 

The Company expects full year revenue will be in a range of $19 million to $22 million. Based on current run rates, the Company expects to achieve approximately 165 to 175 well bore conditioning tool runs in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be at the lower end of the previously provided range, between $6.5 million and $7.0 million.

 

Mr. Meier concluded, "We are excited about the solid progress we are making and the strong customer acceptance of our tool. The Drill-N-Ream clearly provides greater efficiencies for operators and contractors and reduces the operating costs for development of oil and natural gas well fields."

⁽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.
