Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (NYSE American: SDPI) (“SDP” or the “Company”), a designer and manufacturer of drilling tool technologies, today announced unaudited preliminary revenue for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s initial 2023 revenue expectations and an update on its international channel partner agreement.

Preliminary Revenue for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Demonstrates Successful Execution of Growth Plans

SDP’s unaudited preliminary 2022 revenue is expected to be in the range of $19.0 million to $19.2 million, in line with the Company’s earlier guidance of $18 million to $20 million, when excluding the initial Drill-N-Ream® (“DNR”) tool fleet sale to Bin Zayed Petroleum. The midpoint of the preliminary range represents an increase in revenue of 44% over 2021. Fourth quarter 2022 preliminary revenue is expected to be in the range of $5.2 million to $5.3 million and comprised of 85% from North America with the remaining from International markets. Preliminary results are subject to change pending review by the Company’s independent accountants.

"We have continued to execute well and capture the strong market conditions in the U.S. and growing market in the Middle East for our wellbore conditioning tool, the DNR. Equally important to our success has been the demand for our contract services work, which largely reflected the manufacture and refurbishment of drill bits and other related tools for a long-time legacy customer. We are extremely proud of our team's performance during 2022, as we have overcome a tight labor market and macro challenges with over forty percent top-line growth,” commented Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO.

2023 Revenue Outlook

Mr. Meier continued, “Our many accomplishments this past year have positioned us well as we look to 2023 and the growth potential available to SDP. Operationally, we significantly increased our capacity with new machining centers, customized equipment that was designed and fabricated in-house, and improved processes, training and hiring. We also enhanced our sales and marketing team and are on track to open our MENA service center during the first quarter of 2023, which we believe will open a number of opportunities in that region to replicate what we have done in North America. This year has started off with strong demand driven both by the U.S. and Middle East markets and we expect to continue to see growth throughout the remainder of 2023.”

Full year 2023 revenue is expected to be approximately $24 million to $27 million, which represents year-over-year growth of approximately 34% at the mid-point of the range. This revenue estimate assumes no contribution from the recent international channel partner and distribution agreement with Bin Zayed discussed in more detail below.

International Channel Partner Update

As previously disclosed, the Company entered into an exclusive channel partner and distribution agreement with Bin Zayed Petroleum for Investment Limited to market and distribute SDP’s DNR to key end markets in the Middle East and North Africa. As part of the agreement, SDP anticipated receiving an initial $3.8 million purchase of DNR tools during the fourth quarter of 2022. To date, those funds have not been received. As a result, SDP has sent Bin Zayed a Notice of Defaults Letter and has offered Bin Zayed the opportunity to cure the multiple defaults in accordance with the agreement, which SDP believes Bin Zayed has committed. Should Bin Zayed elect not to cure the defaults, then SDP will conclusively determine at that time if it desires to terminate the agreement.

Mr. Meier commented, “We have significant opportunity for the DNR internationally and plan to leverage the success which our unique wellbore conditioning tool has been having in the Middle East market. While we would have appreciated the opportunity to work with Bin Zayed, we recognized that their many priorities impeded our ability to advance at the pace we would have liked in that market with them.”
