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 of 2021 ended June 30, 2021.
Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO, commented, “We believe our strong growth this quarter clearly demonstrated the value of our Drill-N-Ream® (“DNR”) well bore conditioning tool as well as the growing demand for our manufacturing capabilities. The DNR is enabling drilling innovation. We believe that by including our tool in their drill string, producers are able to drill more complex well profiles and increase the total flow area of their wells while covering greater footage in shorter amounts of time. Additionally, we are expanding the volume and products we manufacture for our long-time legacy customer to support their efforts to provide quality products while advancing their technologies.”
He continued, “While we are not yet back to pre-pandemic levels, we continue to gain market share as markets recover. We expect that we will continue to grow through 2021 and be back on track in 2022 to resume the growth plans we had expected at the end of 2019.”
Second Quarter 2021 Review ($ in thousands, except per share amounts) (See at “Definitions” the composition of product/service revenue categories.)
Revenue increased sequentially $974 thousand, or 40%, over the trailing first quarter as market share and market conditions improved. Improvements, year-over-year and sequentially, represent improved demand as oil and gas production markets improve and as the Company gains greater market presence. Revenue in North America increased 74%, year-over-year, from increased tool sales, as well as higher royalty and repair fees. International revenue grew 37% over the prior-year period as recognition of the DNR’s value by oil field service companies is growing and the Company also gained a new International customer. Contract Services revenue also improved 65%, reflecting increased drill bit refurbishment. Sequentially, North America and International revenue increased on greater market penetration and improving market conditions.
(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.
Higher revenue and lower operating expenses resulted in operating income of $116 thousand. Total operating expenses decreased 3% over the trailing first quarter, as a result of timing of expenses related to year end close and the reduction in amortization expense.
Net loss for the quarter was practically breakeven at $67 thousand compared with net loss of $1.1 million in the trailing first quarter. Measurably improved operating income more than offset other expenses which included a $11 thousand loss on the disposal of assets. Compared with the trailing first quarter, Adjusted EBITDA(1) improved measurably to $1.0 million as a result of increased sales and operating leverage gained from higher volume, while Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 28.2%.
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.
Cash at the end of the quarter was $2.7 million, up from $2.0 million at the end of 2020. Cash provided by operations in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $400 thousand. Long-term debt, including the current portion at June 30, 2021, was $3.2 million. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company paid the next $750 thousand principal payment due on the Hard Rock note. The remaining $750 thousand of principal due on the note is payable on October 5, 2022.
