Drilling Tools International Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

HOUSTON, Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Drilling Tools International Corp., (“DTI” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DTI), a leading oilfield services company that manufactures and provides a differentiated, rental-focused offering of tools for use in horizontal and directional drilling, operating from 20 locations across North America, Europe and the Middle East, today reported its financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Net Revenue of $38.1 million increased 4.4% from $36.5 million in Q3 2022
  • Operating expenses of $(31.0) million were higher compared to $(28.5) million in Q3 2022
  • Net Income was $4.3 million, compared to $7.0 million in Q3 2022
  • Diluted Earnings Per Share were $0.14, compared to $0.36 in Q3 2022
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $12.7 million, compared to $13.0 million in Q3 2022

“While US rig activity has declined approximately 19% since December 2022, DTI continues to execute on plan, with a decrease of only 5% in monthly revenue from December 2022 to September 2023, outperforming the market,” said Wayne Prejean, CEO of DTI. “We remain focused on cost control, operational efficiencies and maintaining a strong financial position, in order to increase shareholder value and position the Company to thoughtfully execute on accretive growth opportunities going forward.”

Third Quarter 2023 Financial and Operating Results
In the third quarter the Company generated Net Tool Rental Revenue of $29.4 million, which was an increase of 9.4% compared to the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by increased market activity and customer pricing across all divisions, led by the Directional Tool Rentals (“DTR”) division.

Product Sales Net Revenue in the third quarter totaled $8.8 million, a decrease of 9.6% compared to the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by lower than average rental tool recovery rate in the quarter.

Third quarter 2023 Operating Expenses were $(31.0) million, compared to $(28.5) million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by higher personnel expenses, depreciation from an increased property, plant and equipment balance, and an increase in insurance expenses.  

Third quarter 2023 Net Income was $4.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to Net Income of $7.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. The primary factors contributing to the decline included higher taxes and a lower than average Rental Tool recovery revenue, as well as higher personnel, depreciation and insurance expenses. These negative impacts were partially offset by increased market activity and customer pricing across the Tool Rental segment.

Third quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA was $12.7 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $13.0 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by higher personnel expenses and other public company costs in the third quarter of 2023, and higher than average Tool Recovery revenue in the third quarter of 2022.

At September 30, 2023 the Company had $4.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. DTI retains strong financial flexibility with access to an undrawn $60 million revolving line of credit.

Outlook
US rig activity has declined by approximately 19% on a monthly basis from December 2022 to September 2023. Despite the challenging environment, DTI continues to execute well, with a revenue decrease of only 5% over the same period. Management anticipates the rig count will remain relatively flat in 4Q and is maintaining its previous projections for the full year 2023:

Full Year 2023

  • Revenue: $150 – 158 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $50 – 54 million
  • Gross Capital Expenditures: $44 – 46 million
  • Net Income: $12 – 19 million
  • Adjusted Free Cash Flow(1): $6 – 8 million

(1)   Adjusted Free Cash Flow defined as Adjusted EBITDA less Gross Capital Expenditures

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to understand and evaluate its core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss), excluding interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net; income tax benefit (expense); depreciation and amortization; and certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that the Company excludes in Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, reduced by gross capital expenditures. The Company believes Adjusted Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures, for operational expenses and investment in its business and is a key financial indicator used by management. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures the Company’s ability to generate or use cash. Once the Company’s business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures compared to the closest comparable GAAP measure. Some of these limitations are that:

  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain recurring, non-cash charges such as depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of acquired intangible assets and, although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;
  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes income tax benefit (expense); and
  • Adjusted Free Cash Flow does not reflect the Company’s future contractual commitments.
