Third Quarter 2016 Overview

 

Compared with the prior-year period, revenue of $2.3 million declined because of the significant reductions in overall oilfield activity. In recent months, the rig count, as reported by Baker Hughes, has begun a modest recovery, reflecting the stabilization of commodity prices and drill rig operators’ progress in lowering their cost to develop oil and natural gas. Sequentially, revenue more than doubled over the trailing second quarter of 2016.

 

Tool revenue was $1.85 million in the quarter. While down $145 thousand compared with the 2015 third quarter, it more than doubled from the trailing second quarter, up $956 thousand. Tool revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was comprised of $1.63 million in tool sales, $93 thousand in tool rental and $119 thousand in other related revenue.

 

Contract Services revenue was $417 thousand, down $611 thousand when compared with the prior-year period. When compared with the trailing second quarter, contract services revenue increased by $191 thousand, or 84%. Contract services is primarily the refurbishment of drill bits for an exclusive customer for which the Company is contracted to service the Rocky Mountain region, which includes the hard-hit Bakken formation, and any overflow work provided from other U.S. basins.

 

 

Net loss of $1.17 million improved approximately 40% over the prior-year period. Significant changes in the Company’s operating structure and business model enabled this improvement while facing the 25% decline in revenue. See attached tables for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss to adjusted net loss.

 

Third Quarter 2016 Operational Review
($ in thousands)

 

 

		Q3 2016				Q3 2015				Y/Y Change				Y/Y % Change				Q2 2016				Seq. Change				Seq. % Change
Cost of revenue		$	972			$	1,522			$	(550	)			(36.1	)%		$	1,332				(360	)			(27.0	)%
As a percent of sales			43.0	%			50.4	%											119.6	%
Selling, general & administrative			1,320				1,867			$	(547	)			(29.3	)%			1,539				(219	)			(14.3	)%
As a percent of sales			58.4	%			61.9	%											138.2	%
Depreciation & amortization		$	932			$	1,221			$	(288	)			(23.6	)%		$	1,200				(268	)			(22.3	)%

  

The 7.4 point reduction in cost of revenue as a percent of sales compared with the prior-year period reflects the Company’s new business structure and the effectiveness of the cost reduction initiatives. When compared with the trailing second quarter, excluding an asset impairment charge, cost of revenue as a percent of sales improved by 44 points demonstrating the strong operating leverage gained from higher volume. The trailing second quarter was impacted by a $362 thousand asset impairment charge pertaining to the write-off of certain Strider assets.

 

The significant reduction in selling, general and administrative expense, including research and engineering (SG&A) compared with the prior-year and trailing quarters was the result of the reduction in staffing, change in the business model, and other cost cutting measures.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock compensation expense, was $176 thousand. Adjusted EBITDA improved over both the prior-year and trailing quarters. 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 SDP’s use of adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA.

		Q3 2016 YTD				Q3 2015 YTD				Change				% Change
Revenue		$	4,820			$	9,974				(5,153	)			(51.7	)%

Diluted loss per share		$	(0.37	)		$	(0.30	)		$	(0.07	)			(22.8	)%

  

Lower revenue for the year-to-date period was the result of the significant decline in drill rigs, due to the contraction of the oil and gas industry. Tool revenue of $3.69 million decreased by 38% from the prior-year period. Tool revenue was comprised of $2.06 million in tool sales, $1.41 million in tool rental and $214 thousand in other related revenue. Contract Services revenue was $1.13 million, down by 72% when compared with the prior-year period due to the significant decline in the PDC bit refurbishment business, as was noted in the third quarter discussion.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was a $1.53 million loss, compared with an $81 thousand loss in the corresponding 2015 period. The Company believes that when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with 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 SDP’s use of adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA.

 

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

 

Cash and equivalents was $332 thousand at September 30, 2016. Total debt at the end of the third quarter was $19.72 million, down slightly from $20.06 million at June 30, 2016.

 

Also during the quarter the company amended and restated its seller’s note for the Hard Rock acquisition. Under the amended and restated agreement, the company issued 700,000 restricted shares at an agreed upon value of $1.43 per share, as payment for $1 million of principal on the seller note and also filed a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of the 700,000 shares of restricted stock.

 

Subsequent to the end of the quarter on October 5, 2016 SDP completed its public offering of
5.75 million shares of its common stock at $1.00 per share. The company received net proceeds of
$5.1 million which were used to repay $1.0 million for a bridge financing, $868 thousand for a revolver and term loan and $606 towards a seller’s note for the Hard Rock acquisition. The remaining proceeds will be used for growth working capital. On a pro forma basis, total debt was $17.42 million. Cash on November 10, 2016 was approximately $2.1 million.

 

During the third quarter the Company had no capital expenditures. The Company anticipates capital expenditures will be approximately $50 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2016, primarily related to the build-out of the Coiled Tubing Strider tool fleet.

 

 

Outlook

 

Mr. Meier, added, “The demand that we are seeing for our Drill-N-Ream tool continues at a very strong pace. We are also excited about the opportunities that our Strider technology presents for us in the drilling and completions markets. Our two new tools are being well received in both of these applications. We now have a stronger balance sheet and the financial flexibility to meet increasing demand and grow the business.”

⁽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.
