Superior Drilling Products Reports Second Quarter 2017 Preliminary Revenue Nearly Quadrupled Over Prior-Year Period; Increases 2017 Revenue Expectations
Announces Second Quarter 2017 Teleconference
VERNAL, Utah–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Superior
Drilling Products, Inc. (NYSE MKT: SDPI) (“SDP” or the “Company”), a
designer and manufacturer of drilling tool technologies, today announced
preliminary unaudited revenue of approximately $3.7 million to $4.0
million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017. Revenue is expected
to be almost four times higher than the prior-year period and up more
than 16% over the trailing first quarter of 2017. Preliminary results
are subject to change pending review by the Company’s independent
accountants.
“Increasing market penetration and deployment of our flagship
Drill-N-Ream® (DnR) well bore conditioning tool by oil & gas
operators drove revenue growth during the quarter. We continue to see
solid tool sales as we gain market share. And, as more of our
Drill-N-Ream® tools are being used in the field, we are
realizing higher volumes of recurring refurbishment business,” commented
Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO of Superior Drilling Products. “The volume
we had in the second quarter has given us greater confidence in the
outlook for 2017. As a result, we have increased our full-year revenue
estimate by 20% at the midpoint.”
The Company’s domestic market channel partner for the DnR, Drilling
Tools International, Inc., has exceeded its 10% market share goal for
DnR’s on horizontal rigs in the U.S. and Canada. DTI is also on track to
achieve its 12.5% goal by the end of 2017.
Expectations for Full-Year 2017 Revenue Improved
For the full year ended December 31, 2017, the Company increased its
revenue estimate to $14 million to $16 million up from the previous
estimate of $12 million to $13 million.
