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 first quarter of 2021 ended March 31, 2021.
Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO, commented, “The pace of activity is encouraging as markets begin to recover. Demand for new Drill-N-Ream® well bore conditioning tools in North America continued through April as market conditions strengthen. We believe we are also continuing to gain market share in this depressed environment as more operators recognize both the production efficiencies gained and costs saved when using the DNR for their drilling operations. Drill bit refurbishment activity has increased as well during the quarter, with the growing number of drill rigs operating in the U.S.”
He added, “We are bringing back fabricators, advancing new drill bit development and we are making progress on broader marketing and servicing agreements with much larger entities that have the breadth to extend and deepen our market reach. While we are not expecting the market in the U.S. to return to pre-COVID levels, we believe that there is still plenty of room for improvement and more market penetration potential for the DNR. We have also restructured our international development team to improve returns on our investments in those markets while also advancing the agreements needed to gain market share.”
Mr. Meier concluded, “We are optimistic about the recovery supporting growth through 2021. More significantly, we are excited about the changes we are making in the organization and the relationships we are building that we expect to drive significant growth for the Company in the long-term.”

Revenue increased sequentially $884 thousand, or 57%, over the trailing fourth quarter as market share and market conditions improved. The year-over-year comparison reflects the impact of the global pandemic on the oil & gas production industry. The market in North America is improving more rapidly than international markets. Revenue in North America increased 74% from increased tool sales, as well as higher royalty and repair fees. Contract Services revenue also improved sequentially reflecting increased drill bit refurbishment. International revenue was relatively unchanged from the trailing fourth quarter as the market recovery is lagging similar to the lag in decline this market had through 2020.

(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.
Total operating expenses increased 13% over the trailing fourth quarter, while revenue increased 57% demonstrating the effect of cost reduction efforts and the operating leverage gained from higher volume.
Net loss for the quarter was $1.1 million compared with $0.7 million in the trailing fourth quarter which included a $0.9 million benefit from the government forgiveness of SBA debt. Compared with the trailing fourth quarter, Adjusted EBITDA(1) improved sequentially as a result of increased sales and operating leverage gained from higher volume.
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.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Cash at the end of the quarter was $2.3 million, up from $2.0 million at the end of 2020. Cash provided by operations in the first quarter of 2021 was $139 thousand. Long-term debt, including the current portion at March 31, 2021, was $3.0 million. The $4.2 million long-term financial obligation is related to the future minimum lease payments under the 15-year lease of the Company’s Vernal, Utah property.

(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.
