VERNAL, Utah, Aug. 14, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (NYSE MKT:SDPI) ("SDP" or the "Company"), a provider of drilling products for the oil, natural gas and mining services industries, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015. Financial results include the May 29, 2014 acquisition of Hard Rock Solutions, LLC ("Hard Rock") which included the Drill N Ream™ and the January 9, 2015 acquisition of the OrBIT completion drill bit product line.
Second Quarter 2015 Summary
- As previously announced on July 23, 2015, second quarter 2015 revenue was $2.9 million.
- Drill N Ream, a patented bore hole conditioning tool, was used in 174 runs in the quarter, down slightly from 185 in the trailing first quarter despite the average rig count declining 35%.
- Market share increased with the addition of four new customers during the quarter. The Company now has 34 customers using the Drill N Ream and also entered a new basin in the quarter with a current customer.
- Selling, general and administrative, including research and engineering, (SG&A) expenses were reduced by $277 thousand, compared with trailing first quarter, reflecting the decline in R&D costs as the Company moved from tool prototype development to tool lab testing.
- Strider™, a proprietary drill string stimulation tool, demonstrated outstanding results in its first field test. OrBit's cutting structure is ready to be field tested.
Second Quarter 2015 Results
Revenue from the Company's traditional refurbishment and third party manufacturing business (contract services) was $1.1 million, down from $1.8 million in the trailing 2015 first quarter and $3.6 million in the prior-year period. Revenue from the rental and repair of the Drill N Ream (tool revenue) was $1.8 million compared with $2.2 million in the trailing first quarter. The prior year's second quarter included one month of the Hard Rock acquisition which contributed $0.7 million of rental revenue from the DNR, as well as $0.2 million of royalty revenue.
During the quarter, SDP averaged 16 customers per month running its well bore conditioning tool, compared with 14 in the trailing first quarter. The Company had a monthly average of 58 Drill N Ream runs in the second quarter compared with 62 monthly average runs in the trailing first quarter. Average revenue per run was $9.6 thousand, down from $11.1 thousand in the trailing quarter. The decline reflects pricing pressure resulting from the low oil price environment.
Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO of Superior Drilling Products, noted, "We believe that our traditional refurbishment business has settled at a rate somewhat better than the rig count decline. And, we are making solid headway with the success of the Drill N Ream, even against these market headwinds. While pricing pressure in the quarter was more pronounced than we had anticipated, pricing appears to have stabilized."
He continued, "We are intent upon strengthening our sales and marketing processes. We are upgrading our sales force and will be hiring in-region sales staff, as well. We are progressing in the development of our new customer relationship management system which we expect will drive greater discipline and follow-through, while also improving reporting. Of note, I am intensely focused on commercializing the Strider, a differentiated solution for putting more weight on bit, and the now more robust OrBit, which diversifies us into the completion market."
Cost of revenue was $1.6 million, up from $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, but down from $1.9 million in the trailing first quarter. As a percent of sales, cost of revenue was 55.0% in the 2015 second quarter compared with 30.6% in the prior-year period. Higher cost of revenue as a percent of sales reflects the investment in the rental tool field sales and distribution infrastructure and under absorption of manufacturing costs on lower volume.
Selling, general and administrative and research and engineering (SG&A) expenses were $1.8 million compared with $1.5 million in the prior-year period and $2.1 million in the trailing 2015 first quarter. The $0.3 million increase relative to the prior-year period was comprised of $0.1 million of higher research and development costs, while the costs associated with the full quarter of the Hard Rock acquisition and becoming a public company comprised the remaining increase. When compared with the trailing quarter, a reduction in R&D spending drove the $0.3 million reduction in SG&A.
Depreciation and amortization (D&A) was up $0.5 million over the prior-year period to $1.2 million, primarily as a result of the full quarter of the acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization was a loss of $0.4 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 SDP's use of adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted net loss, also a non-GAAP measure, was $1.6 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the second quarter. Adjusted net loss excludes intangible asset amortization expense of $0.6 million after tax. GAAP net loss was $2.2 million, or $(0.13) per share. See attached tables for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss to adjusted net income.
First Half 2015 Review
Sales for the first half of 2015 were $7.0 million, down $1.2 million, or 15.2%, from the prior year's first half. A $2.9 million increase in revenue related to the Drill N Ream (tool revenue) to $4.0 million helped to offset the $4.1 million decline in the Company's traditional refurbishment and third party manufacturing business (contract services), which was $2.9 million in the 2015 first half.
Cost of revenue for the first half of 2015 was $3.5 million, up $0.9 million from the prior-year period. SG&A expense of $3.8 million was up from $2.6 million in the prior-year period, and D&A expense was $2.3 million compared with $1.0 million in the first six months of 2014. Increased operating expenses reflect the establishment of the Company's sales infrastructure to gain market share for its drill string tool offerings, increased manufacturing capacity and higher expenses associated with becoming a public company.
First half 2015 EBITDA was a loss of $0.3 million, and reflects the downturn in drilling activity and the energy markets in general due to changes in the market price of oil. 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.
Adjusted net loss was $2.1 million in the first half of 2015 compared with adjusted net income of $1.5 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net loss for the first half of 2015 excluded $1.2 million of intangible amortization. For the first half of 2014, adjusted net income excluded $0.2 million of intangible amortization and $1.1 million of deferred tax expense. GAAP net loss was $3.3 million in the first half of 2015 compared with $0.2 million of net income in the prior-year period.
Balance Sheet Update
Cash used in operations in the second quarter was $0.1 million. Cash on hand at June 30, 2015 was $2.5 million.
Total debt as of June 30, 2015 was $21.1 million. Debt, net of cash, was $18.6 million compared with $18.0 million at March 31, 2015. Remaining cash debt service for 2015 is approximately $1.0 million.
Chris Cashion, Chief Financial Officer of SDP, noted, "We believe that cash on hand and what we expect to generate from operations are sufficient to cover working capital requirements, capital expenditures and debt service for the remainder of 2015. We are negotiating another potential restructuring of the Hard Rock loan and are in process with the financing of our $1.5 million machine tool to provide for sufficient liquidity as we move into 2016."
Capital expenditures were $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. For 2015, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.2 million to $1.4 million.
2015 Outlook
Mr. Meier concluded, "We are encouraged with the feedback we have received on the Strider in the Bakken. In fact, there have been more customer requests for Strider after hearing about the results."
SDP expects revenue in 2015 to be in the range of $14 million to $16 million, driven by continued success of the Drill N Ream and the commercialization of the Strider and OrBit. Sales will increase sequentially, with the fourth quarter being the strongest quarter. SG&A is expected to be between $1.6 million and $1.7 million per quarter. EBITDA is expected to be positive for the year.

(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. |
